042020_44054wpHi everyone! I hope you all are doing well and hanging in there! ❤️
I just posted a video on a new version of my pink grapefruit scented salt bars. My original video on this soap was posted about 5 years ago. Can’t believe it was that long ago!

Clamshell Swirl Soap | Soap Challenge Club

She did such a wonderful job teaching us the clamshell technique that I couldn’t seem to stop trying it.  I’ll talk about some of those attempts here, and I also made a video about my entry soap (linked at the very bottom of the post), in case you’d like to see that, too.  :) Continue reading →

I just like how the soap feels.  :) Continue reading →
