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!

Hops & Honey Beer Soap

I wanted to experiment with adding real hops to my soap so I used some Coors Light for this project.  I added dried, ground hops and honey with the Spicy Citrus essential oil blend.  For added interest, I lined the mold with bubble wrap, giving the exterior of the soap a "honeycomb" appearance.  It's awesome!

17.5 oz Coors Light Beer
5.5 oz. Sodium Hydroxide

17.5 oz. Olive Oil
12.5 oz. Palm Oil
