Column Swirl Soap Technique

Column Swirl Soap? Yep that is right! When Debbie Chialtas with Soapylove posted on Facebook  by  Non ci posso credere and called Pittura a cascata. Where the artists uses cups of paint and pours them on top of the column and lets the paint run down and then add another cup and another, and about 50 plus cups of paint make a beautiful piece of art.

I really wanted to try this in cold process and after seeing Amanda Griffin from lovin soaps and Erin Pikor of Naiad soap arts had tried it, it inspired me to do it!

I lined my 40 bar mold and got everything ready! I knew that was going to be the key , because you have to mix a lot of colors and pour over a column without it getting too thick.  My column was a post from Lowes and they even cut it for me 12 inches high and 4in x4in square. I wanted to make sure I used scents that I have tried before that I knew that they would not seize or get too hot!

My soap recipe has palm , coconut , olive oil in it. I mixed in my scent which is a blend of kentish rain and love spell …..a little love and rain from www.brambleberry.com  and used their micas to color! 

I put the column in the middle and started soaping away. I had made a video of each pouring for some reason I can not get it to upload!!) so sad  

At first trace I stopped and poured into the colors and blended well I used 7 colors ….Next time I am going to have a helper with me and see if I can make it with more colors.

It was so much fun to do! I could not wait to cut the bars and see I got up at 4 am to unmold

 I love how you can see so many of the colors!  ooooh can’t wait to try this again

 

Happy Soaping

Sad its over…..But so happy I got to play!

Well I am so sad that this testing is over. But I am thankful that I was chosen to do it.   When I got word I was chosen I was so excited !! I received the box and then realized I was getting sick .I wrote all my first impressions down and then the next morning I could not smell anything . I had to do something so I took them to my work place and did a blind test there writing down their favorites and least favorites . It was so much fun having them all involved. Cooks , managers, host, servers and even guest!

Then I wanted to make the most out of it and wanted to make them in as many products as I could . I have a lot of mini containers and molds that I use to send to stores for test products (ALWAYS GOOD TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING THEY CAN FEEL ,SMELL, SEE AND USE) I have some 10ml little sprayers (great for room spray /linen , body spray samples and I see www.brambleberry.com is carrying them now. Yeah!

I have 1 oz lotion bottles (great for travel and samples to your big shoppers as a little bonus)

I really wanted to make this in a candle so we made little tea lights (it would have taken too much of my little bottle to use in a big candle)

CP soap I recently had bought a tote of molds/candy/soap ones at a yard sell (you never know when they will come in handy)like now there where some oval thin ones that held 2 oz of soap and they were perfect .

MP I am not a professional on the MP side but I am so drawn to the possibilities you can do with it that you can not do with CP I had never done MP until last year at conference and I had to choose to take a class that I really needed or take this class with Soapylove owner Debbie Chialtas and I have no clue of what it was Oh my Gosh Love!!! I made mini birds with the test scent and they are so cute.check out www.soapylove.com to see all of her amazing products!

I also made mini lotion bars in a heart-shaped mini ice tray , I had to make them they are a staple of Lotion Bar Cafe  and they where the perfect size.

Well there you have it! My Favorites where number Number 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8. Number 6 was my absolute  favorite!!!!!!

I am really thankful to Anne-Marie and her amazing staff  at bramble berry. I have been using her products  going on 5 years and have never had a complaint. I only order my scents from her anymore and I am never disappointed. I would love to test ANY product for them !!

Thank You

Keep that light burning,Tea light testing for Bramble Berry S.O.A.P panel

By now I do not need to tell you my favorite scent!!!!!! lol …but  I will

I use 100 % soy wax and Cotton wicks in our candles.

You can see there was a little discoloration in a few but not much. 

I burned these in my bathroom (small space ) for an hour then brought to the kitchen area for the rest of the time.

Soy wax I like using it because it  does melt at a lower temp and burns “clean” all the way down. But be careful when you sell at an outdoor market in the warm months.

Number 1  great throw great fresh floral scent

Number 2 again great throw and favorite of the 3 gardenias for candle

Number 3 this makes a great candle this was not as strong as the others

Number 4 very fresh lilac scent~ I think this mixed with a vanilla would be awesome

Number 5- sweet, sweet ,sweet smell ,creamy has a spice note (Honeysuckle)

Number 6 I was worried because I love this scent that it would not perform well. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT ! love……love….love……LOVE! I think I could break out in song and dance!

Number 7  hmm I like this scent ! but I do not think it makes a great candle though …so sad (but ok it still is great in other products! Smells like green grass

Number 8  Herbal, powder, eucalyptus , creamy I liked it in candles!!

Number 9 I know I sound like I always seem to give it a negative review , but I think I have found what this scent will be good for. My sushi soaps!! yeah , this did not smell very good in my bathroom but it did have a good throw . I did not burn a candle the next day because I could still smell it! so yeah for that!:)

Number 10  Rose is what I smelled  not overpowering , notes of green mixed in too!

That was Fun! I took all the rest of the half  burned tea lights to Kansas this week to my husbands apartment ( he is working on a school out there , hopefully on for a few more months) His apartment never smelled so good!!!

Coming up next is my conclusion……. So sad Its over!!

Room Spritzer testing with S.O.A.P Panel scents from Bramble Berry

So last week I made my Room spritzer and made mini ones using the test panel scents from Bramble berry . Well with them being small I sprayed my car and my small bath room. Well my car smelled so good when I went to my coffee shop the girl thought I had flowers in my car!

I wanted to test a lot of products that I make so I made lots of mini projects. These had 1 mil. of scent  I sprayed my car and went in to work for 6 hours and came out and my car still had great scent flowing through it.

Here are my thoughts of the scents for room sprays

number 1 ~~~~ Too much for a car but great for a bathroom spray~floral, flowery,straight scent

number 2~~~~ Love this room spray ~floral sweet light flower note

number3~~~~ this one was good too, floral, flowery stayed the longest out of the first 3

number 4~~~~fresh lilacs, relaxing flower notes this made a great room spray

number 5 ~~~~ hmmmmmm yeah did not play well ……………

number 6~~~~ ok I know I have talked a lot about six but dang it I love it and it has been number one in all my products so far!!! love love , fresh clean scent (still think it still is sweet pea)

number 7 — this one works as a room spray too! scent stayed strong (it did not fade) as fast as some.

number 8~~ This would make a great linen spray , herbal nots of eucalyptus

number 9~~~~ hmmm played in the same sandbox as number 5

number 10 ~~~ with the notes of rose , this would be a good a bathroom spray ~rose water

Thanks www.brambleberry.com for letting me test on the s.o.a.p panel!

Next test was on bath fizzies!!!  results coming soon!

Lotion+Bramble Berry =LOVE

Alright just when I think I decided what I like …..I have found another love

I made my shea~aloe lotion and had cups all labeled and ready for the scents to be blended together!

cups of lotion waiting for the LOVE

I took each one and filled about 1.5 oz-2 oz of lotion and put .5ml of scent in each one

blending really well with a spoon!

After blending I placed in mini lotion bottles and labeled them ! I am taking all the leftovers that were left in cups to work . I will see how they like them in lotion now!

Now for the scent testing for me………

I took butcher paper and placed cups on there with the numbered cups on there so I could write the first thing that came to mind when smelling and testing the lotion! Worked great and clean up was easy!

Some of the notes I took where little different from  CP soap

 

 

 

 

 

 

#1 sweet , floral , fresh  ~~~ on skin very floral

#2 floral~on skin light floral

#3 Musky notes , floral flowery,~on skin did not like so much!

#4 lilac, fresh green grass,crisp~on skin fresh scent reminds me of summer

#5 Warm, vanilla ,sugary, creamy with a note of caramel ~on skin this one this one smells like toasted caramel scent (i know lol)but that is what I smell

#6 Fresh , sweat pea ,crisp , Love ~on skin HEAVEN !!!!

#7 notes of grapefruit , clean ~on skin light and fresh ,love this one too now! Think this could be a e.o ?

#8 Eucalyptus, herbal~on skin almost has a menthol effect cooling on skin.Love

#9 tropical ~ on skin not a favorite kinda leaves a weird odor

#10 ROSE~on skin ROSE lol different from the baby rose from bb that I have. It has green notes

Well that was fun ! I do not have any dry skin with 10 days of lotion on me I am all good!!

Next posting will be on Room Spritzers (aka Room sprays)

Happy soaping!!

Testing New Scents in Cold Process Soap~

Wow what can I say , fresh Cp soap curing = yummo!

As I sit here and smell them one by one I have found my favorites ! As you can see number 3 is a light tan and number 5 is a darker tan (brown). Number 8 turned a mustard yellow. I used my goat’s milk recipe  with a little TD mixed in with this batch and used a shallow oval bar mold.

Now for the scents……

Number 1 Gardenia ~sweet, clean , true flower scent , not over powering ,creamy

Number 2 Gardenia~floral (I dont want this to sound bad but this smells like the spray they have in those atomatic sprayers in the public bathrooms) I like it lol

Number 3 gardenia more earth like , floral ,sweet

Number 4 lilacs fresh-cut with stems( green grass) love not over powering smells like grandmas back yard!

Number 5 creamy sugar note~ from the browning maybe vanilla

Number 6 I can not wait to find out what this one is!!!!!1 It has such a familiar smell  (maybe something that bath and body works sells) It was the winner of my blind test at work!! Very fresh clean , Refreshing calming scent maybe sweet pea? I love this one and will be buying this in 16 oz as soon as possible!!! ok moving on lol

number 7  smells like carnations and cucumber lol i know but that’s what i smell !! it’s on my top 5 list

Number 8~ eucalyptus!!! hmm it turned yellow brownish color , There does not seem like vanilla is in it.  It should be called sleepy time! I will be ordering this also!!

Number 9 ~ ok this one I get an earthy note but also a seaweed smell, not an overpowering  hyacinths flower I am sure once I find out the scents I am going to laugh at these notes lol

Number 10 ~rose I know there is  rose in there!!!! It smells just like smelling a long stem rose!

I can not wait to order my favorites!!! This is such a blast. I am testing in my shea ~aloe lotion tomorrow!! And I will try to guess again

Happy soaping

Bring on the lotion bars!

Lotion Bar Cafe would not have its name without them

Lotion bars where the very first product that we made. Being a Bartender my hands where always chapped . Not anymore, lotion bars are a solid lotion . I use shea butter, cocoa butter, blend of oils and eo or fo’s.

I tested the Mystery Scents from Bramble Berry. It is amazing when you use the scents in different products how it can enhance the scent. Blending the scents with cocoa butter and shea just make them yummy!! .  I made mini lotion bars (I have too many testing projects to make normal ones) Got to get the most out of these little bottles. These little guys only used 3-5 drops and they smell Amazing. Even the #5 toned down (that or its just grown on me )

Here  are the lotion bars I made ……

 

I will be testing Room Spritzers tomorrow!! Can not wait~~~ See you soon!

Little Birdie’s Getting in on the Testing

So I picked Goats milk Melt and Pour as my first test. I Did two test for each one. The first test I did was the birds with  color after I filled the bird mold I added one to two drops of color to the rest and did a little flower . The first impression from the Birds after taking them out of the molds . They were all creamy white with no color change . A few hours later #5 has a  discoloration to it (like vanilla is present in that one). It is a very light brown. So far no others have changed.

The flowers have not shown any color change , even the one with #5 in it!

Everyone had a “smelling ” good time

Having a cold and not being able to smell is the worst for a soapmaker! especially when you are on this awesome S.O.A.P Panel that Bramble Berry has put together. Well I brought the samples into the restaurant that I work at and asked the staff to help me out. It was so much fun and the restaurant never smelled so good.
There were 15 people that included cooks, management, servers and even a few customers! yeah! They wanted to get in on the action.
I had them pick their favorite Gardenia out of the 3 and then put their favorite in order from the best (something they would use) to the NOT (something they would not use)
So out of the 15 people that “sniffed” here are the results
Gardenia #1 —-6
Gardenia#2—–5
Gardenia#3—–4

The one with most votes—#6 13/15 people!!!!
wow, I have that one on my wish list!
The Next one #7 9/15
Then # 9 10/15
The one with the least votes….. was number 10~
I think that it has a bit of rose in it.

There were 3 men that had a blast (they all like #10)
It was fun letting them smell them and participate, they feel like they are part of the FUN and they have been there from the begining of my business.
Always listen to what your customers LIKE when selecting new scents. They are the ones that will be buying from you!
Thanks for to all my SNIFFERS!

Can’t Smell!!!

Oh boy! Nothing like being excited to finally get to do something and BAM! you are sick as a dog and can not smell a darn thing! Well not so good when you have and amazing box of goodies from Bramble Berry!
As soon as I got my box I opened them all and wrote down a first impression of each!
#1 Gardenia – floral-sweet undertone smells like Gardenias from my grandmothers yard.
#2 Gardenia- Sweet Floral
#3 Gardenia- floral-little bitter note
#4 Mystery- Fresh , Floral,green grass (maybe lettuce note)
#5 mystery-warm , sugary ,carmel note
#6 Mystery-this scent seems familiar to me!!! very clean scent..hmmm
#7 Mystery Crisp, citrus, maybe grapefruit!
#8 Mystery notes of Eucalyptus, herbal
#9 Mystery clean, crisp, cucumber
#10 Mystery floral , blended with notes of rose?
Well that was first Impressions , I will have Melt and Pour Project Tomorrow and will post the finnished Project!

Bramble Berry makes my job sooo much FUN!!

Ok! So I want to be part of this S.O.A.P  panel on Bramble Berry Mrs Anne Marie! Please and Thank You!

I am like a kid in a candy store when the door bell rings and its my UPS man.  He has a box in his hand with Bramble Berry stamped on it! Whatever I was doing before that , who knows. But right now I am consumed by the box! I have been ordering there for years and never had a complaint! and the best part……wait for it….wait for it……..free sample in every box!!!  oh yes !  Sure I have lots of essential oils and scents but a girl can never have too many!

What do I do with the samples?  I try in a bath fizzy and if my customers like I move up to lotion bars and soap and if it’s a big hit! candles and whipped shea butter too!

Its nice to smell some that you have been eyeballing but not quiet sure! Also I like to do a color test on a scent to see if there is a lot of discoloration.

 

Last week I recieved my Bramble Berry Box and my new mold was in it. My friend came over and it was her birthday and I thought it would be nice to have her make some loofah soaps for her birthday.

So here is our  SO-Loofah Soaps Anne Marie with your new molds

12 square bar moldsWe started off with the 12 bar mold and placed a loofah in each oneThen we melted 12 oz  (MP) soap in a Pyrex in the microwave for 45 seconds at a time until melted. We added Bramble Berrys Sun ripened raspberry and mixed well  pour 3/4 ways up 3/4 full Then we melted goats milk (MP) and added Bramble Berry Cream cheese Frosting to it (smells like cake )YUMMO!!mixed really well and let cool a little  while the other layer is hardening. When the bottom layer is firm , we sprayed the bottom layer with alcohol and poured the cream cheese layer on . goats milk layer!

Let set several hours then turn over and push out !

Who Needs real birthday cake when you can make a calorie free raspberry cream cheese SO-Loofah Soap!!

Thank you to Bramble Berry , They make my job so much fun and keep me motivated to try more things all the time (even at 3 am)

 

Holly’s Whole Wheat Goodness!

Everyone always asks for my bread recipe so here it is. Warning~ its addictive. About 4 years ago I threw out all white stuff in my house (sugar, white flour, white rice , ect) and replaced with whole grains and honey. So on Mondays I would make a batch of bread and my boys would deliver a loaf to the neighbors on both sides of us. They now have nicknames ~The Bread Boys.  They used to not like taking the bread to the neighbors but now they fight over it.

 When I was growing up the lady next door would have us pick blueberries and put them in a brown paper bag. It would take us forever because we would eat most of them. Later she would bring us a pie. I loved that feeling that someone would make us something that took all day , just for a neighbor. I hope you make this recipe and GIVE a way a loaf…it just might make someones day!

Holly’s Whole Wheat Dough

Blend in mixer 5 cups hot water

4 tsp salt                   2/3 cup honey

2/3 cup olive oil

4 tbsp yeast

 

Mix in 6 cups whole wheat flour, mix well on speed 2

mix in remaining  flour as needed to clear sides of bowls about 5-7 cups

knead for 8-10 min and you can touch the dough and it will not stick to your finger

take dough out of bowl and put olive oil in a big bowl place dough in and turn over so that the dough is lightly coated with oil

cover with a damp warm towel and let double in size

Now the world is your oyster….. you can make this into pizza doughs 6-7 big ones, 4-5 dozen dinner rolls, 4-5 dozen cinnamon rolls, 4 large loaves ~ I make 3 loves of bread 2 pizza doughs and some rolls ~ pizza dough just pinch off a big chunk and wrap with press and seal and put in fridge use within 2 days!  also you can make garlic bread sticks roll out like pizza dough and i brush with garlic butter or olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary ….the possibilities are endless . Make something yummy and share!

Happy Hollyday and a Soapy New Year!

Happy Hollydays!!

Hope all of you are having great Hollyday Season! I want to take this time to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours. Also to say thank you for supporting me through this soapy adventure!  I have been blessed by so many of you getting to know you! I hope to get to know more about all of you.

 Are you setting any personal goals this year? Do you set a New Years resolution? I love making list and scratching them off as I finnish them (sometimes I even write new goals that I did not put on the list so I can scratch through that one too…lol) I think I need smaller List. I do not set my self up for failure so I do not set a new years resolution. I feel like I am a work in progress all year-long! I read this blog by www.soap-queen.blogspot.com  and her new article about designing your best year Ever!!  Well this list maker did not sleep last night after reading this . I have a list for my lists now!! 

I am excited to see what this year is going to bring and excited you are along for the ride with me!

Much Love,

Holly

Journey…….

Have you ever seen someone and wonder how they got there? It’s all about the journey.They did not build Rome in a day right? Isn’t that what they say.lol… I love making soap and  lip balms  ect… But the REAL part of having this business is all the relationships that I have made,make and are making along the way.  I love encouraging other business woman and helping them as much as I can. When God gave me this business he had a plan. Heal my broken heart and  my loss and fill it with creativity and grace. If you look at the road ahead would you keep walking? What if its dark ? or the road is unstable? would you trust what is ahead or do you turn back?  Press forward is what I have learned, have faith and trust God ! I am thankful everyday for what he has given me. Having a business and being a christian has to be the hardest part. I have people who are so supportive and they make me smile. There are those waiting for you to fail, that hurts. Others you help and they turn there back on you. The journey is sometimes rough but when God is in control its worth it

Faith Soap

This is a mix of honey and amber which reminds me of the sweetness and bitterness of faith . I put mustard seeds in there for an exfoliant . There are yellow ones which you can not see but you can feel them(sometimes you don’t see faith working) and black ones for the times we can!

Faith is what Lotion Bar Cafe has been built on!

Throwing out the Chemical Cleaners And Only Using Natural Cleaners !!!

So I was reading all the Stuff that is in the cleaners we use around the house and at work !! Ugg some I can not even pronounce. I Have 3 boys in my house and I am a Clorox clean up kinda girl ! Well I was anyway! I guess I always grew up thinking if it did not smell like pine or heavy bleach smells that You would actually have to open a window in the small bathroom it was not clean. I think so differently now. Over the next few months I am trying out natural Cleaners (without chemicals) and how effective they are. Oh and did I mention that I will be making them too. I will post each recipe and tell you the results I had!

Ok So I have had a ring in my toilet for over a year . I have tried every thing bleach , comet, soft scrub and the list and money have gone down the drain….(literely) ha ha! So I was amazed on how this simple and awesome smelling this  recipe worked!! Did I say that it smelled AWESOME!!
No Scrub Toilet cleaner
1 cup borax
1 cup vinager
10 drops lavender
5 drops lime
mix all together and put in the potty (lol)
and leave over night, lightly scrub and flush in morning! 

Thanks for reading I will be posting more over the next few weeks please let me know if you try any and If they worked for you!!
