I love experiment with making soap. From different colors and pouring techniques, to mixing my own custom scents. Recently, on my YouTube Channel, I made a soap I named Spring Dreams. I knew the scent I wanted in my head, but could not really find anything that fit that was sold at any of my normal soap suppliers. So, that is when I decided to start mixing soap fragrances for custom soap scents.
Winter is in full force here in North Carolina. One day it is 60 degrees and sunny, the next it is 20 and snowing! When it snows here, everything shuts down, and usually stays closed for a few days. With snow in the forecast again, I am longing for warm Spring days, so I figured I would make some Spring inspired soaps. First soap of this series will be a fun and vibrant Pink Lemonade Soap Recipe!
Kaolin clay has many benefits to the skin, and there are many different types of Kaolin clay to choose from. Each type has different features and benefits that can help to enhance your home made soap. So, why use Kaolin Clay in soap? Because why not!
Recently on my YouTube channel I made a goat milk soap bar, but this soap was different! This soap has a ribbon of lotion bar through it, which makes it that much more luxurious! So, I knew that a lot of people would want the recipe for my DIY Lotion Bars, so that is what I am sharing today!
You can use these DIY Lotion bars on their own, all you have to do is rub them on your skin and they will start to melt. Or, you can do what I did, and add this mix to your cold process soap. In the video below you will see that I poured the mix directly into the mold, but I think next time I will use embeds to make the lotion bar more prominent!
A lot of areas in the United States do not have enough copper in the soil to keep a goat healthy. This means that sometimes you have to supplement your goats with a Copper Bolus. Each area and each goat is different, but knowing the signs of copper deficiency in goats can keep your goat happy and healthy.
Even if your area has a great copper level, there are other things that can block the absorption of copper. If your area is high in iron, this can prevent the proper absorption of copper.
