Making of Sugar Scrub Cubes

This morning I received candies from a friend who went overseas.

When I looked at it, this candies immediately inspired me to make solid sugar scrub cubes.  Well, they really looked like solid sugar scrubs to me (of course I know that this are candies, duh! hhahaha.)

When I got home, I had a quick dinner first and immediately started my project.

Here is my output:

I used half/half of raw brown sugar and white refined sugar. Raw brown sugar is not only good for your health it is very good for your skin too!  I tried to somehow recreate the candies I had this morning but I don't want the exact copy of that so I made this sugar scrub cubes in a different color.  

I will immediately use this tomorrow to exfoliate my skin. I am very excited.

Below is the recipe and remember to watch the video for instructions:

Ingredients:

403g Granulated Sugar

305g Soapbase*

62g Olive oil

4 g Jojoba oil

Aroma:

6ml Fragrance oil or 4ml Essential oil

Colorant:

D&C colorant, quantity sufficient depending on your preference)

I also used the same recipe that I used for the easter egg bath bombs.

Making of Patience Soap using Hanger Swirl Technique

A couple of weeks ago I have shared the making of an improvised hanger swirl tool. Today, I would like to share with you the making of Patience soap.  In this soap making project, I have used the improvised hanger swirl tool that  I made by myself.  You may find the making of an improvised hanger swirl tool to be simple but for me I am proud of it.  (Remember, I saved some money on that.  So I bought a few raw materials - not for soap making but for another craft project. I won't share the details yet.  It's a surprise!  but be assured that it will be for bath and body products too.)

This soap contains Activated Charcoal and Bentonite clay which is good for detox and acne buster. It is suitable to people with normal to oily skin.  If your skin is on the sensitive side to normal skin, Acitivated charcoal and White Kaolin Clay will be good for you. Here is the video link.

If you want to see the video for Activated Charcoal and Kaolin Clay soap, feel free to browse on my previous posting.

Bubble Bar DIY Tutorial

I received a few request from my friend and from another youtube friend for a good bubble bar recipe. I noticed that many are selling their bubble bar recipes but for me I have decided to fomulate and just give it away for free. Simply because, it's my birthday month and I want to share something to those who would like to make their own bubble bars.  In my little ways, I hope I can help them to save some money or to earn extra income if and when they have decided to sell their bubble bars for profit.

Here is the video tutorial.  I have included the recipe inside too.
I am giving the recipe for free and you can do whatever you want to it, except claim it as your own recipe in your blogs, vlogs or whatever postings. Remember to be a friend and give credits to me for taking the time in formulating a free, simple,  workable and good recipe for you.

Have fun!!

DIY: Improvised Hanger Swirl Tool

In this video I had improvised a Hanger Swirl Tool using a hanger from my cabinet.

A little bit of bending, twisting and squeezing here and there helped me to save some money.

Here I save 5USD to 30USD on hanger swirl tool (excluding importation shipping cost plus taxes).

I plan to use the money that I saved here to buy raw materials and consumables for soap making. 

I also plan to use this improvised hanger swirl tool in my next soapmaking project. Let's see  on whether this will pass the "Reveal Time" test!  Wish me luck!!!
