One of the items I’ve crossed off my 30 by 30 list is “make soap,” and it has been such a fun little hobby! A fun little hobby that has resulted in our household having way more soap than we’ll ever be able to use ;-)
My first batch was super-basic, just trying to learn the
process itself, but for my next three batches, I’ve played around with
additives like scent and exfoliants. The
second batch, I added peppermint and lavender essential oils, and ground
oatmeal, and the third batch was a fun, seasonal apple cider soap.
The most recent batch that’s finished curing in my morning
room is one I’m especially excited about – a soap made with earl grey tea and extra
Bergamot essential oil… the Star Trek nerd in me has decided to call it “Tea.
Earl Grey. Soap.”
