Kumquat, Chamomille and Ice Pineapple

I have been running around, trying to keep up.  As a result I have been neglecting my "blog duties".  Shame on me!  I wanted to upload this post last week and here I am a week after and barely getting posting it.

I have three soaps that I recently had fun playing with.  My first was Kumquat.  A very nice scent from Bramble Berry.  I actually just purchased the fragrance as a last minute buy.  Not really thinking whether it may be something I wanted to soap with. I am glad for my impulse shopping.  I really like it :).  Here is the description:  bright, fresh, purple with notes of green.

It was wonderfully to soap with and will be a keeper for my fragrance shelf

 

 

For my next soap I decided to go a little natural, except for adding fragrance :).  I wanted to try a Chamomile soap. 

 

I had some Chamomile Tea on hand so I ended up heating up some distilled water and had the tea bags brew over night in the water.  I also used a little bit of Apricot Kernel Meal for light exfoliation and the Chamomile fragrance oil from Bramble Berry sealed the deal.  Here is the final product:

 

 

I am pretty happy with it, and have now picked up some interest on "natural, simple" looking soap.  It is beautiful in its own way and I think my little bars are not bad!

 

Now for the ending I had some Iced Pineapple fragrance oil from Nature's Garden.  I debated on what to do for color theme and ended up with neon yellow and green.  The fragrance did really well.  I certainly had no problems soaping with it, but the scent did not come through well.  It has faded a little bit.  Here's a pic:

 

 

I am hoping to do some soaping during this holiday weekend.  I have one soap batch that I just finished which is another "natural" look.  I am hoping to post a blog by the end of this weekend. 

 

Thanks for checking out my blog!

HAPPY SOAPING!!!
