About Me

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!

Double Hop Beer Soap

I needed to experiment with using hops in soap.  My first attempt used dried hops as an additive (Hops and Honey Soap).  This time, I took dried hops and infused them into olive oil.   The "double" hops comes from also adding hops at the end as an additive.  Tom home brewed with hop flowers and he gave them to me after he was finished with them in the brewing process.

The result is a lovely soap with hops in the oil and also hops as an additive.  I used some old Corona Light Beer just to use it up.  Spicy Citrus was the blend of essential oils.

Great soap.
