Late Night Soap Shop

Tonight, I'm at the shop making soap pretty late.

Here I am drilling my mold back together.  There were some problems with the last batch getting the slab of soap to come lose.  I had to break down part of the mold to get it out.

Now I'm lining the mold.  Getting the paper nice and straight!

I melt my oils individually and pour them all into the big soap bucket.  Here I'm doing olive oil.  You can see the big can of olive oil on the table.

After blending the oils and lye water (in this case lye beer because this is a batch of beer soap) the soap starts to reach trace.  A little more blending and we should be good!

Finally, the soap is ready to be poured into the mold!  After this, I wait a little bit until the soap solidifies to the point that it isn't liquid anymore.  Then I'm able to plastic wrap the mold and cover it with layers of towels to slowly cool.

If you are in the area driving by after hours and notice the open sign is still on, odds are there is soap making going on.  Stop in and see the soap making in action!

Soap Savers: Free Soap Giveaway

I hate throwing away soap.  Even when it comes down to the last sliver, I try to mash it with a new bar to use every ounce of soapy goodness.

But sometimes it doesn't work.  Then you need a soap saver.

Now start buying up those soap savers!

It's Always Time for Wrist Warmers!

I love wrist warmers.  I love wearing them, making them, gifting them... and it's always wrist warmer season!  Do you have a job where you are always in a cold office building no matter the outside temperature?  Wear wrist warmers.  Do you want to spunk up an outfit with a funky accessory? Wear wrist warmers.

Speaking of wrist warmers, here is a great place to buy them!  They are wonderfully priced and best of all they are handmade.  Buy purchasing any of these wrist warmers, you are helping an American artist.  Stop sending your money to China and Indonesia by purchasing crap from Wal-Mart!  Instead, buy some of these:

New Totes at Halo Soap

Mom came in with some new tote designs the other day!  You can order these through Etsy.  Or you can order these through the Halo Soap website but it will just re-direct you to Etsy.  Or order them through this blog!  Which again, will re-direct you to Etsy, but it's much easier to shop from this one page and choose a tote you like, don't you think?

I'll be sending out some coupons and discount offers through my email newsletter soon.  If you haven't joined it, then do so now!
