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!

JavaHead Soap - 3 pounds

The wood block mold that Tom made for me is designed to hold 3 pounds of soap that create nice rectangular bars.  Since JavaHead Soap will be one of my regular bars for Tröegs, I'm reformulating that recipe to also fit into the mold I'm using.


18.2 oz. JavaHead beer
 6.8 oz. Sodium Hydroxide


15.4 oz. Olive Oil
15.4 oz. Palm Oil
12.0 oz. Coconut Oil
 5.2 oz. Sweet Almond Oil


1.5 oz. Essential Oils (Spicy Blend: Allspice, Anise, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Orange)
1/4 C. Coffee Beans (finely ground)
