Today, I am so happy. I received my new set of neon soap colorants, glitters and micas that I ordered from Nurture Soap USA a couple of weeks ago.
I am so excited to try it but my time is already packed with my pre-planned schedule. I can only try this colorants after 2 weeks. Next week, I won't be posting any new soap making video in observance of the Holy week.
What excites me more is that the vendor gave a small bottle of fragrance oil. Based on my guesstimate that small bottle contains 10ml to 15ml of fairy garden fragrance oil. I can't resist the temptation so I immediately opened the bottle and I tell you, the aroma is mild and gentle. So heavenly!
Today I made cupcake soaps using a basic 3-oils recipe that I had formulated. Normally, my recipe is composed of 7-8 oils but today I reduced it into 3 because I will give it to my friends who requested for a recipe. I made it as simple as possible so they can follow it (this will be their first time to try cold process soap making).
For the design I used the Rose Russian frosting tip that I bought online. See how easy and how simple it is to produce a nice rose bud design in soaps. I first found this frosting tip used in baking. When I saw the lady demonstrated on how to use it in her cake decoration, I immediately told myself that I can also do that in soaps too. I just need to increase my hard oils and make sure that I reach heavy trace so that the consistency would be very thick and just nice for frosting.
I am fine if you would try this recipe on your own. Even if you want to try this to sell your soaps it is also okay with me. Just remember to give credits to me for formulating this soap recipe and sharing it for free. Avoid copying this formula in your blogs and claiming it as your own. Thanks.
This post is not complete without the DIY tutorial video:
Easter Sunday is coming so I've decided to share my bath bomb recipe. I know that I am still 2 weeks early but I want to give some time to others who may want to try my recipe.
What is so different about this bathbomb is that I used an egg shaped mold that I bought from Daiso. I embedded a toy inside because I was inspired by the chocolate Kinder Joy. I cannot find any small toy at home so I ended up using a cake topper (Santa Claus) from last christmas and a keychain ( I love SG).
I love the round bath bomb too. I can't believe it. It looks like mother earth to me. :-)
If you wanna learn how to make a bath bomb and save some money instead of buying outside. Then just watch the video below. I have dictated the recipe and gave a simple recipe summary inside the clip. Have fun and enjoy.
