Yeah, we’re finally here! I’m going to show you how to make homemade soap today, how exciting! This beginners tutorial will walk you through it and you won’t even break the bank (we’re using a recycled soap mold 😉 Well, lets get to it – and don’t miss the detailed photos of each step of the process toward the end of this post.

You know what’s a life saver for new moms? (Hint: not a baby gadget.) It’s the Starbucks drive thru!!! Seriously though: you’re stuck in the house with your little nugget, it’s the dead of winter, flu season, you’re craving a latte and some sort of human interaction- the drive thru it is.
…Today we’re going back to basics and will talk about how to make bath bombs. Making homemade bath bombs is fun and you can really get creative with it.
My kids absolutely love bath bombs and they make for really nice homemade gifts. To me it is so much fun to see the bath bomb fizzing away in the tub. It simply gives your bath time this special sparkle and excitement while at the same time delivering gorgeous scents and skin loving goodies. What’s not to like?

These cute snowman bath bomb sets are the perfect small handmade Christmas gift for everybody on your list: neighbors, coworkers, family and friends. They’re easy and fun to make, smell delightful and come with an adorable packaging idea that’s part of the snowman design.
I have no idea how it’s December already, this year it totally snuck up on me. And it really hasn’t felt very winter-y around here until recently. But, now that we’ve been snowed in for a couple of days, holiday season is officially upon us. And what better way to ring in the winter season than by building snowmen in the yard with your kids? So much fun and it gave me the wonderful idea to make snowman bath bombs 😉
What I wanted was not only to have the snowman face, but the entire snowman just like you would build in real life with three parts, buttons and a scarf – the whole shebang. I’m very happy with the way these came out. Not only do they look adorable, but they are also perfect as a gift. The packaging ties it all together into a little bundle of holiday cheer.

It’s that time of year again… crunch time for cold process soap makers. If you want to get your Christmas soaps done in time for holiday gift giving you need to get cracking. I’m pretty late to the game this year myself, but not to worry, I’ve got us covered with this recipe. It uses a pretty steep water discount which allows this Christmas tree soap to cure in about 3 weeks. Procrastinators rejoice 🙂

Handmade gifts are always a big hit for Christmas. There’s something special about them. The thought, the time and love that goes into making them really let’s the recipient know you care.
Last year I made these adorable Santa Bath Bombs and folks loved them. So, for this year I wanted to make some sort of Christmas themed bath bombs again, but with a little twist, moving away from the traditional sphere shape. A couple of months ago I came across these super cute and, best of all, pretty fool proof cupcake bath bomb molds and knew I had to use them this Holiday season.
The result: Adorable Christmas cupcake bath bombs that look festive, are easy to make and nourishing for your skin. One design is reminiscent of a peppermint candy cane and the other of a Christmas tree. Once you’ve got your ingredients together you can easily make either one of the designs. As for the scent I’ve chosen essential oils that go with each theme, but feel free to use your own favorite essential oil or blend.

I’ve always wanted to make cupcake bath bombs. Don’t they look amazing? But the problem until now was that in order to make a cupcake bath bomb you had to make the base first out of your usual bath bomb mix and then whip up the material for the piping separately. The piping often required ingredients that I either didn’t have on hand – like meringue powder – or that I didn’t want to have in my bath water – like powdered sugar. So, I never actually made bath bomb cupcakes until I saw this mold 🙂

I’ve been resisting using handmade soap on my face for the longest time. My own handmade soap mind you – where I know exactly how it’s made and what went in. I always had in the back of my mind what had been drilled into our heads at esthetitian school: “Never ever use soap on your face”.
I could see, that for someone with very oily, acne prone skin a nice bar of charcoal tea tree soap could be beneficial, but for my dry and sensitive skin? Uh, no thanks.
