The New and Improved - Pink Grapefruit

When I first started soaping I stocked up with lots of molds and fragrances.  Thinking that I was going to score big and just be a natural.  Little did I know the time and dedication that goes to working with this craft.  I can't tell you how many times I have changed my basic recipe to come to a bar of soap that I really enjoy.  They were not kidding when they said it will take you a couple of months to figure out what works best and how it will behave...and that's not even including fragrances and colors.

Wow!  so much to learn and absorb, and I think I am finally happy with how my soaps are turning out.  I am certainly happy with my ingredients.  In my learning process I found out that my skin dries out if I use more than 20% of Coconut Oil in my recipes.  So I have tweak and tweak until I am happy with about 10-15% :), and sub other oils to help with lather/bubbles.

But I am getting off track.  The reason for this post is to talk about my latest soap.  Fragrance with one of the first fragrance oils I purchase when I started soaping:  Bramble Berry Pink Grapefruit!.  I love it.  It is a very light, delicate, citrus fragrance.

One of my first posts was about this fragrance and the challenges I had with the Rose Mica that morphed on me.  I certainly have picked up more experience with my colors for sure.

Today I give you the new and improved Pink Grapefruit!!!

In case you are wondering.  I did a swirl in the pot. Colors that I used:  Electric Bubble Gum Pink, Titanium Dioxide, and finished it off with body safe glitter.

Here are two short videos as well :)

I certainly have come a long way!!!

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Happy Soaping!!!
