In Beaverton, OR, it doesn't snow much, so when it does, everything shuts down!
Being trapped in the house the last 4 days means that everything has been reorganized, including my soap supplies, loads of time with my husband and sweet kids (sorry that I didn't get any photos of my sweet 5 year old son Leo), and lots of free time to make soap.
I remade some favorites, including Lavender Mint and Good Day Sunshine (Energy from Bramble Berry). I also have baby girl on my mind, so I made Lavender Chamomile (Huggies type from Bramble Berry), and a chamomile and calendula infused olive oil bastille baby bar! It is super fatted 8% and is 92% olive oil and 8% castor oil for bubbles. I left this one unscented, so it is super gentle and will let it cure for 6 months.
Now let me sing the praises of Lavender Chamomile fragrance oil! I use to use this Huggies soap on my babies before I started making soap. I always loved the scent so much (swoon). When I saw that Bramble Berry carried this scent, I had to try it. I was not at all disappointed and at all and this is one of my personal favorite scents. I will be using this one for myself. This scent is described as having "top notes of Lavender, Chamomile and a bit of Orange
and Eucalyptus. The blend is rounded out with Cedarwood, Musk and Hay,
making it absolutely precious smelling." This is my favorite baby scent ever, but I hope that adults like it as much as I do because I hope to sell a ton of it....maybe as a spa-type scent!
