Now that I've been at this for a few months, I am settling down with favorite combinations. I had a bottle of Straub's Dark Beer and returned to a recipe that I liked before to try it out using my new molds. I've finally purchased a soap making book and it's widened my vision of molds to use. I went to the kitchen store at the Hershey Outlets to purchase the silicone bake ware. I bought a loaf pan and a square cake pan to use as soap molds! I also threw out my wooden spoons and switched to new stirring utensils that are all plastic and made to withstand the high temperatures. I popped it out of the pan in less than 24 hours and the corners stuck. Next time, I'll be a little more patient. Even so, it looks and smells great!

About Me
- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
