Swirlies and Such - 100th Post!

Wow - 100 posts already! I've come a long way baby! :) My soaps have definitely improved since I first started blogging.

Yesterday afternoon I made Lemon Fun soap and Pink Salted Grapefruit soap. Both smell so good and turned out quite pretty.


Lemon Fun - 6 color swirl scented with lemon. It was going to be scented in fruit loops (I'm still disappointed that it isn't) but I had some weird seize thing go on with the fragrance and stabilizer before I added it to the batch so I quick went in another direction with the scent.



Pink Salted Grapefruit - it is mostly cream colored (pale yellow maybe from the essential oils) and has two pink layers and one pale orange layer in the middle, similar to my cool water soap. I topped it with some pink himalayan salt. I just want to get a spoon and dig in to that topping. It's so yummy looking!


I used some of the extra grapefruit soap to make teddy bears with cream(again, pale yellow?), pink, and pale orange swirls.


This crazy warped mold is a raspberry chocolate mold. I put it in the dishwasher and I quite obviously should not have. I heated it up and tried to fix it some but it wouldn't budge. So I used it as is and made it work!


This is my set-up to keep my soap from gelling. I soap at room temperature and then keep it in front of a fan for about 24 hours.


I won't be cutting these until tomorrow afternoon at the very least. So be patient for cut pics! :)
