About Me

My photo
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!

Soap Books

I've decided to invest in a few books about soapmaking.  Most of my recipes have been from online resources and my own experiments using a soap calculator.  But I've read so much about Susan Miller Cavitch's book that I just had to get them.  So I just purchased:

The Natural Soap Book, Making Herbal and Vegetable-Based Soaps by Susan Miller Cavitch

The Soapmaker's Companion, a Comprehensive Guide with Recipes, Techniques & Know How by Susan Miller Cavitch

Soap Maker's Workshop, The Art and Craft of Natural Handmade Soap by Dr. Robert S. and Katherine J. McDaniel

Now I just need to take time to read!!!
