Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I've been here - sorry for not being around, sometimes life can get hectic as I am sure you all know.
It is finally spring in my neck of the woods - not too hot and FINALLY not too cold.
Perfect weather to play with oils and lye and make some soaps! But there are other things going on in the soaping kitchen too. Butters! Rich, creamy, DECADENT BUTTERS - as in BODY BUTTERS! YUM!!!
A lovely friend in one of my Facebook groups shared a recipe for body butter about 2 weeks back. I was captivated by her pictures of fluffy whipped peaks in jars. So, I figured, why not? I'll give it a try!
I started out with Mango - I call it Mango Tango and I can't keep it in stock! I have made a Lilac fragrance and a Lemon Meringue to go with some of my soaps. I am planning on a Coconut fragrance too. Then I learned of a fragrance special going on with one of my suppliers because they topped 800,000 likes on their page - so I ordered Lilly of the Valley, Black Raspberry, BITE ME (Fresh
citrus notes of lime and orange sparkle with effervescent highlights as
they lead to a luscious blend of berry and cherry in this playful scent.
Leafy green accents add intensity as a base of vanilla creates sweet
tones for the fragrance) and a Caramel that was on special. I can't wait for my fragrances to get here. I am looking forward to making more sample sized containers, and then on to 4oz jars of rich luscious body butters for you to enjoy. Bite me was a choice because my 85 year old mother said "I am always careful when I go out after my shower, I smell so good I always worry that someone will smell me and follow me home so they can lick me" My mom loves my soaps and I am sure you will find something to love too.

If you are lucky, and if you "like" my page, you can get entered into a drawing for a free bar of soap! (or maybe some body butter)
Ciao for now!
