Making Soap!

     My newest adventure, making soap! This is my second batch of soap during its curing process. The picture to the left is 7 days cured. The one below is 2 weeks cured. This particular soap I created contains natural ingredients. This soap contains lavender, grapefruit extract, rose petals, bran flakes, coconut oil, cinnamin powered milk, vitamin E oil, and lanolin.
    I had originally thought my soap would be cured in 2 weeks. However, with all the rich ingredients I added to the soap, they are making the curing process slower. I believe this will take another 2 weeks. I can not wait to try it out! 
    Making your own soap is not only interesting, but it is also aids in a healthy lifestyle. It helps boost the immune system along with simple natural diet. There are not artificial chemicals in my homemade soap in which is a great step in being chemical-free. Below are the books I used in creating this old-world craft.
