If you could not tell, I love making soap. The thing I think I like most about it is that I can experiment and play with different colors, scents, and oils. I can say that I have never made two of the same batches of soap. While playing and experimenting can be fun, if you are starting off, it can seem a little overwhelming. Knowing all of the different qualities of oils for soap making can help the process go a lot smoother, and be a lot more fun!
A few weeks ago I shared some of the great benefits of raising Muscovy ducks. Since then, I have had a few questions, and one of the most popular was: What do muscovy ducks eat?

In the pot swirls and drop swirl soaps are so fun. They are some of my favorite soaps to make. Not only are they easy to make, it is always fun to cut into the soap to see what magic has occurred. The trick to having a good soap swirl is making sure that your soap batter is fluid. I have tried many different soap recipes, and while some have worked well, none have stayed fluid a long time. That is, until now! Today I am sharing the best soap swirl recipe!
Spring is here, which means a lot of time is being spent outside….working. While I love getting dirty in the garden, but after a long day in the heat, digging or carrying 50 pound bags of feed, I get sore. Plus, I made the crazy decision to start working out regularly again, and because of this, some days it hurts to even blink. To ease sore muscles, and to just take some much needed ‘me’ time, I love using bath salts. This Green Tea and Citrus Bath Salts Recipe not only smells amazing, but the epson salts help to ease sore muscles and the coco butter leaves your skin super soft.
Recently we shared some of the benefits to raising Muscovy Ducks, and their meat is definitely a bonus point. It is a very lean meat and is more of a red meat, unlike other ducks. Because of this, you can actually eat muscovy duck meat medium, which makes it the perfect meat for steaks and burgers. Today I am sharing my favorite Bacon Duck Burger Recipe!
We have raised our fair share of different animals over the years, but one of my favorites is our Muscovy Ducks.

If you are thinking about adding these guys to your farm, here are some benefits of raising muscovy ducks.
If you follow my YouTube channel, you will know I kind of like to wing things when it comes to soaping. Well, while I love to wing it, I am an organizational freak. I write everything down with each soap loaf I make. While I was using a note book, I found it hard to stay organized and find what I needed. So, after searching and searching, I could not find what I wanted. So what do you do when you can not find what you need? You make your own! So, today I am sharing some free soaping printables with bonus soap recipes for you to print and use.
