Time for "Fresh"

With our very SHORT Winter exiting and Spring arriving, I am starting to turn to my "green and fresh" fragrances.  Hiding in my closet and waiting to come forward was "Badedas"!  The description of this fragrance is: 

...blend of fresh, invigorating leafy greens & florals, basil, citrus, amber, and musk...

It's a very nice clean and fresh fragrance and I was pretty happy to soap with it.  I thought about the type of swirl to do for this and decided for "In the Pot Swirl".  

My colors: Titanium Dioxide, 24K Gold Mica, Omega Blue Ultramarine, and Hydrated Green Chrome Pigment.  Please applaud me because I finally figured out that "less is best" and ended up not dumping the entire pot of color in the soap mix! :)

As usual I added my favorite Goat Milk and this time decided to add some Colloidal Oatmeal for soothing.  The vendor listed this fragrance as not accelerating, and it actually did a little on me. Even with soaping at a low temperatures.  I was starting to be concerned that I may not  be able to do my swirl since the soap was starting to thicken up on me.  But in the end the results were pretty nice and I was happy with it.

If you look closely the milk really wanted to gel this one.  You can see a little bit of the power circle in the middle.  I even stored it in the fridge overnight.  If I would have left it in the counter it would have definitely gel on me for sure.  Sadly the fragrance is starting to fade.  I did not remember from the comments that it does, so now I will just have to wait and see how long it will hang on for.

I am loving that with the time change I have much more light to enjoy later in the day.  I can take advantage of this when I take pictures of my soaps!

Thanks for checking out my blog!

HAPPY SOAPING!!!
