Soothing Lavender & Oatmeal Cupcake Bath Bomb DIY
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 🙂
…Rose Clay & Coconut Milk Facial Soap
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.
…Indigo Ombre Cold Process Soap (One Pot Technique)
Beware: After 5 weeks of cure time I noticed the two bottom layers starting to fade. I’m working on an updated tutorial for you, in the meantime I hope you find this information helpful nonetheless.
Indigo is an interesting natural colorant to work with in cold process soap. As with most natural colorants you never quite know what you’re going to get. The color results can vary greatly from greenish to grayish blue depending on the type of indigo used and how it’s incorporated into the soap.
