A Middle Aged OCD Woman Gets A New Hobby.......




My OCD has been working overtime lately,and I have been a very busy girl...(once again in my kitchen) ....But this this time instead of making preserves I am making homemade, 100% organic soaps (which doesn't contain Lye, I might add)....My house smells soooo good....I have bowls of grapefruit and tangerine zest, pureed avocado and aloe, almonds, honey and blueberry everywhere...Pretty much anything that is great for your skin, I'm putting it in.....Adorable names like, Grapefruit Blush, Tangerine Dream, Georgia Rain (I told you my OCD was working overtime).....I got tired of breaking out from so many other body washes....That I made my own....Most of my ingredient's are things like Milk or Goats Milk....Shea, Cocoa and Coconut Butter....Aloe and Vitamin E...Lots of fresh and dried fruits and some veggies, such as avocado and cucumber...LOVE IT!!!! I feel like I might need to give a few bars away soon...So keep checking back...This stuff is so good!!!

We make our own soap, too.

We use a glycerin/olive oil base soap and add scented oils.

We have not bought store bought ( for hands and body ) in about 6 years.

Never tried sea salt mixtures yet.

Have fun!

They look and sound amazing...I think, that I can even smell them with a stopped up nose. lol

How on earth do you make your own soap and bath scrub? I'd love to try it, if you're willing to share your info with me.

Love you!
