easy skincare DIYs, beauty crafts and soap making
Today I'm going to show you how to make soap in this detailed step by step guide to homemade soap making. This beginners tutorial will walk you through how to make soap with lye (cold process method) and you won't even have to buy a special mold - we're upcycling an empty Pringles can 😉 Hope you enjoy making these beautiful round soaps as much as I have 🙂

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.

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 🙂

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.

I've had quite a few requests for a shampoo bar, so I’ve been going through my notes to find an easy recipe for you guys.
Isn't a shampoo bar the same as a body bar, you ask?
