Chocolate soap.. to eat or not to eat?

Unrefined Cocoa butter, swirled with sugar and cocoa powder... smells like fudge.. looks like marbled cake. yes I want to eat it.. lick the spoon and all that jazz... The chocolate soap is the most amazing soap i have ever made.. It turned out perfect, looks and smells amazing.. In six weeks I will lather myself in chocolate suds and most likely have to fight off Carl seeing as how I will smell good enough to eat :) If you would like a bar of this chocolate wonder put in your orders.. i have 25 bars curing but will be making more next week ! This soap will make your mouth water.

This month the deal is 5 bars of soap for $25 (they are now all priced at $6 each due to awesome new packaging and fancy ingredients;) and for all of you blog followers pendants are half price till august 13th! I have and awesome new shipment of pretty shell jewelry in.. i have already snagged two necklaces for my own self cause they are so beautiful ;)

Pink swirled soap.. the new frontier !

So I have finally learned how to properly swirl clay and other natural colours into the soap for a very cool look !!! it only took me till midnight last night to figure it out. Geesh.... but it looks cool... A new soap for you all. Bergamot facial soap with grapefruit, jasmine, pink french clay, shea butter, cocoa butter and calendula petals... It smells dreamy and looks pretty too! It has to cure for 5-6 weeks.. but when its done you are gonna love it. Next on the agenda is swirled lime twist soap. I will achieve a green colour using alfalfa and spinach powder.. I plan to stick to my rule of no synthetic dye or fragrance. The only execption I will make is for Mica.. but then again who wouldn't make an exeption for sparkly glitter ;)

Trivia Question : What is red synthetic dye/colour made from ????? The only hint I will give you is that you might think twice about red candy, red jello and red cosmetics when you find out!

The first person to post the correct answer will win 1 free bath bomb and a $5 jewelry voucher!

Happy Showering Folks.

A vision of soap !

So here I am sitting here trying so very hard to write about my life and soap making... hmmm....
While I sit here images of lemon poppyseed soap whirl through my head..... and I hear a little voice saying " ya make soap... it smells great, its natural, and people like it" so there it is ! I make soap. I make soap that looks and smells good enough to eat.. a child once took a bite out of a bar of my lemon poppyseed soap thinking it was candy! Soap is my new passion.. I love to make it, I love to use it, I love to share it and I love to sell it... I get more excited about creating a new soap recipe than I do about shopping (and I love shopping). Making soap is like art and science all in one! It takes a creative mind, precise math, and a nose for scent blending...and a boat load of patience.... Did you know it takes 4-6 weeks for a bar of soap to cure...that means that everytime I create a new recipe I can't test it out for ages... patience patience and more patience... but when its finally ready its like mini christmas.... a fancy little bar of soap all for me, made by me... :) My favourite soap thus far is lime twist, and lemon poppyseed... both smell like a wee bit of heaven.. and they make bath time a lot more fun ;) If you like soap you should give mine a try... www.shivasdelight.com

So there it is, my first blog about soap making and my life! Much more to come but for now.. goodnight.

pleasant dreams and happy showering

Casey :)
