Affectionatly named Temptation this is a very different scent than I usually offer. Im more of a bright, sassy fragrance kind of girl and that shows in most of my soaps. But I got a sample of this and it was just amazing. Its rich a rich earthy amber with creamy sinful vanilla. This is a warm and spicey scent that you can easily get lost in. This oil will be soaped my late March, a dark chocolatey colored body with a fitting gold shimmery swirl.

I have a secret that isnt shared by most soap makers….I love to handmill soap, its allso called rebatching amoung soapers. I LOVE IT! Yep there ya go, I do enjoy it. Some parts I loathe, like the grating of 17 pounds of the most deliciously swirled (7 color!) sweet cinnamon scented soap that separated ever so slightly in the mold. I could have just left those couple of bars out (one or two) and called it a day but instead I started the extreemly tedious task of grating the soap up, melting it down and remolding.  But I like to do it because it makes such a gorgeous gentle bar of soap its so worth the effort in the end! Some people add extra oils when they rebatch but I do not, when I did my first rebatch I did it by the book- I measured out my shredded soap, I measured out the oil and water that I was to add while melting it down. I mashed and stirred every couple of hours and read the directions until my eyes ached.  Then I developed my own way :D and its resulted in many compliments from other soapers that is one heck of a feat! I wont give away all my secrets but I dont add any extra oils, why would I want to zap my yummy soap suds? My soap is gentle enough to begin with, no need for extra oils floating around. I do use a crock pot, extreemly slow melting is the way to get the best handmilled soap. Sure you can melt it down in the microwave but its not going to make a smooth product, Ive tried that way, I was really impaitent once. Now my soap spends all day melting down. Litterally all day, the longer and slower it melts the better, that is absolutly key!
