what's new in Soap


We have been busy making soap these days!  I got some new essential oils to play with. I made a soap especially for outdoor activities, with insect repellent oils.  This one is a goat's milk soap with  cedar, rosemary and eucalyptus oils and some ground lavender as well.  I think men would like this one! The goat's milk makes the soap very creamy.  We also made a soothing chamomile soap with sweet orange oil and lime oil. Very nice citrus scent.  I just made a calendula soap with ground oats and sweet orange oil.  I grow the calendula in my herb garden.  It is a beautiful flower with different shades of yellow, gold and orange blooms and is a great skin softener. Calendula is also good for blemishes. The orange soap reminds me of orange sherbet!

I have been thinking of getting some pygmy goats both for fun and for milk!  If any one has had any experience with them, I would love to hear from you!  I think Sophie  and Susanna would enjoy them and the grandchildren would love them!! We would have lots of milk for our soap.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting with us!!
