opps, this post never got published. Here you go!
My apartment smells so good right now because of these soaps.
Green Tea Soap - The tea is “glowing”.
Lavender Essential Oil Soap - I love the heart patterns all over this soap.
My student Micky came over last night and we made three new limited edition soaps together. Lavender Essential Oil Shea Butter Soap swirled with ultramarines, a Green Tea Soap swirled with - what else, Green Tea Powder and a Salt Bar.
The Lavender Essential Oil Soap came out as planned, all swirly. 
The Green Tea soap had the same kind (ok, I think they were better) of swirls going on it until I:
I grabbed my stirrer and did a quick “blind swirl” to fix it. It’s still a swirled soap, but they are just not very precise, which is fine. I learned a couple of things. Green Tea powder goes from a nice green to a dark brown quick in fresh soap. I added some green colorant hoping to get a dark green color out of the swirl, but it wasn’t happening. Which again is ok. It was an experiment and the deep brown color is nice, though everyone thinks these pictures of soap are some kind of dessert.
The Salt Bar
It was my first time making a salt bar. I’ve been seeing these around and curious enough to make a batch of my own. I used 50% Coconut Oil and a combination of Shea Butter, Olive Oil & Castor Oil and I used the same amount of salt as the amount of oils I had in the recipe. Normally I have to wait a few days to unmold cold process soap. Not this one. I unmolded them within an hour and a half. I scented them with a lovely coconut fragrance… and now need to wait for them to finish curing so I can use one for myself! They will be ready to use on June 26th along with the other two soaps I made yesterday. I’ll add the Salt bar picture to this post as soon as I get it photographed. I have some other soaps I want to make, so I’m going to write them down. If you have any special requests, let me know!
Soapmaking Party Packages are available, just ask! Please specify the number of attendees and I’ll send you a quote. We can make soap, perfume, lip balm, bath salts & solid perfume. These parties are great for birthdays, girl parties, bridal showers, mom’s night out, etc.

It’s a fun birthday party activity because everyone gets to take home a special soap they have created on their own!
If you are having a baby shower we can make baby shower themed soaps - like alphabet blocks in pastel colors. It’s a fun activity before or during a baby shower.
A soapmaking party is also a great idea for bachelorette parties - we can make bachelorette themed party favors!
