<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The scent I used is </span><a href="http://www.brambleberry.com/Sunny-Herb-Garden-Fragrance-Oil-P5773.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Sunny Herb Garden</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> from </span><a href="http://www.brambleberry.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Bramble Berry</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I bought this scent on a whim as it was their scent of the month for May. The description reads:</span><br />
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span></strong></em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Sunny Herb Garden:</strong> There's nothing better than the smell of fresh picked herbs. </span></em></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><span style="font-size: small;">This fragrance combines the fresh aromas of rosemary, thyme, sage, and basil </span></em></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><span style="font-size: small;">with a soft lavender undertone.</span></em> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I love this scent. It is fresh and herbal...which I adore in fragrances. There is no discoloration or acceleration...great fragrance to work with! I bought a small bottle and have already used it all up in this project and the one you will see next week....so I need to buy more ASAP to keep on hand.</span><br />

If I made them correctly...interesting! I say interesting because...that was it?? What have I been afraid of? It was certainly quite easy to make.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">First the recipe. I have been reading about them for 7 years, so I gathered all my notes and here is my summary....</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Use a high % of coconut oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Salt should be 50% - 100% of your oil weight</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Use regular salt or sea salt DO NOT use dead sea salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Superfat at 20%</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So my recipe is:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">80% coconut oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">15% olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">5% castor oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">75% my oils in salt (I used regular table salt)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I colored my salt...my theory was my colored salt would show through my non colored soap....hahaha...ok...I had a good laugh at myself as I stirred in my salt at trace....</span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So here are my beautys poured into their molds. Thankfully I grabbed an extra mold (the flowers) just in case I had extra soap, because I wasn't sure how much this new mold held, and I knew the salt would add volume as well. I went with 20 ounce oil weight, so I can cut that back next time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Come back in a few days and see how they came out.</span>Luster Canyonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05506551667699996447noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686585348646360543.post-6209566727636919372014-05-08T02:00:00.000-07:002014-05-08T02:00:01.259-07:00New Scent to Try<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Just received my newest Bramble Berry order. Trying their scent of the month "Sunny Herb Garden". Hoping to redeem myself with a better oil glycerin swirl soap with this scent. In the order was a free sample of carnation...may try that one too! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Then I ordered a new mold...I know, like I don't have enough molds...but I have always wanted to make salt bars and this is the perfect mold for that, so that is next on the agenda to try!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Stay Tuned...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated in the United States and in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called <i>El Día de la Batalla de Puebla</i> (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War, and today the date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. </span></div>

Hoping this will be temporary, but for now this was the best decision for us. So I really haven't made anything for a couple of months now, and this week I felt the urge to soap for fun, and I come home to find over on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/greatcakessoapworks" target="_blank">Great Cakes Soapworks</a> posted their new challenge...and that was all I needed to jump in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This months challenge is an oil and glycerin swirled soap....cold-process soap with beautiful oil and/or glycerin swirls on top. I chose to use both oil and glycerin. Months ago I attempted an oil/mica swirl and I thought it came out pretty nice, and this time I chose to also add the titanium oxide/glycerin swirl. In the tutorial Amy used the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=&oq=taiwan+soap+swirl&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4AURU_enUS500US501&q=taiwan+soap+swirl&gs_l=hp....0.0.0.238...........0." target="_blank">taiwan soap swirl</a>, which is something I haven't done before so I stuck with that idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Since I am making for fun I decided to add a touch of luxe to the batch and put in some Tussah Silk which will add a "silky" feel to it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cary Grant's fragrance of choice! Top notes of Mysore sandalwood, </span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ambergris, violet leaves, French verbena and Florentine iris. </span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Green Tweed is a wonderfully fresh, green scent that has a soft Oakmoss background.</span></em></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This fragrance oil has such a nice clean scent...comparable to Irish Spring and a great scent for a man or a woman. In this latest order of fragrance oils the Irish Tweed came in these little white jugs...they are cute and store nicely...but I didn't like how clumsy it poured out of the bottle, so be sure to have a wipe nearby to catch the drips down the bottle...but I did like the handle when pouring.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My soap thickened on me because I didn't like the shade of green I ended up with so I needed to add more mica... and I guess I took a little too much time, so no itp (in the pot) swirl today, instead today it was spoon plops for me...which I enjoy just as much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This fragrance plays nice with no acceleration. As for discoloration the oil itself has a green tint to it...it doesn't discolor the soap too much, no browning, but a gentle green hue so I actually like to use the darker green olive oil with this to enhance the green tint. Today I was out so I used my light colored olive oil.</span><br />

Some family members like it at the 12 hour mark...I like the long term storage part so I like it more towards 15 hours. It is crispier, but softens quickly as you chew. Makes a great snack!! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I used my guest sized mold as this batch was for a custom order.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">I love this scent! My nose isn't the best at always picking up all the notes of fragrance oils...but I just know I like what I like. To me at first sniff...this scent is honeylicious!! Then I do pick out the other notes. This fragrance oil is wonderful to soap, no acceleration and no discoloration....two huge plus' in me liking a fragrance oil and wanting to use it again. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">...we drive to the trailhead........we missed the turn...turn around, but the car behind us (who also missed the turn) turns around first and we enter the parking lot behind them.....WHAT?? Sign says only 14 cars at a time.....take a wild guess who was #15???!!!!!!! We wait a minute to see if anyone is leaving...only to find the car that beat us in there....is just eating in their car??!!??!! Sadly we leave...pure silence in the car as I am so disappointed. So The Hubs just drives...gorgeous views on the drive to ???? </span><br />

unplanned hiatus?! December was a rough month in the Wyatt household. I was
sick for over 4 weeks…I haven’t been sick with a cold in literally years…YEARS!
The Hubs has at least 2 a year and I have never caught it, well this time I
caught it AND I got years worth of payback I guess. Eventually it turned to
bronchitis…but I am now on the mend and feeling up to rejoining the world.</span></span></div>

Scent description is ..."Spun sugar evokes something sweet while hints of coriander and cardamom offer spice"...I get none of this. To me it smells like a sweet floral...and it is not fun to soap at all!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">You would think with all of my card classes I would have some already made, but I obviously steer away from the sad ones and stick to the fun ones. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">So off I went on a Google search for the stamp set I wanted to use (Elements of Style) and one of my favorite card making blog sites <a href="http://www.kraftingkreations.com/" target="_blank">Krafting Kreations</a> used this set a couple years ago on <a href="http://www.kraftingkreations.com/2011/05/faux-silk.html" target="_blank">this card</a> and I used that as my inspiration...this is what I came up with.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuk3L_P-fhBErULJ3Tgi6vqB9DWTPUb4z3J2XPULhXhwCrNQKfwQZoInLoMEk_PY2ZPSupamgUaje6iyR0GcDg5mUjGeMBIfQr4pgtyEoP1dvB_RQv05EBTOfsrW845qRIOEd2BFH4-sWa/s1600/Sugar+Leaf+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuk3L_P-fhBErULJ3Tgi6vqB9DWTPUb4z3J2XPULhXhwCrNQKfwQZoInLoMEk_PY2ZPSupamgUaje6iyR0GcDg5mUjGeMBIfQr4pgtyEoP1dvB_RQv05EBTOfsrW845qRIOEd2BFH4-sWa/s320/Sugar+Leaf+1.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The vanilla content for Sugar Leaf is 9%. I decided to try the same as I did for the <a href="http://lustercanyon.blogspot.com/2013/10/wsp-fo-review-3-of-15-sugared-shortbread.html" target="_blank">Sugared Shortbread</a> scent and use vanilla stabilizer for 1/3, full scent for 1/3 and nothing in 1/3. I think I learned what a blind swirl is? It all looked white to me as I pour so I just layered and layered hoping I end up with something great.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWz4hLKbV0jQd29AgUkyKgSIFIt3TSUpMyTxamyhusb16jQL80sWNtlm8ZEdZGHPlElKjxaS8jw85fdbiRnAj1n144-SU67qyoKqVxNv7WwHzDW8GQ8Twdf9WgatffLVeGrO9qwvRSMZRf/s1600/Sugar+Leaf+Soap+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWz4hLKbV0jQd29AgUkyKgSIFIt3TSUpMyTxamyhusb16jQL80sWNtlm8ZEdZGHPlElKjxaS8jw85fdbiRnAj1n144-SU67qyoKqVxNv7WwHzDW8GQ8Twdf9WgatffLVeGrO9qwvRSMZRf/s320/Sugar+Leaf+Soap+4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This scent does not darken very bad at all, and the vanilla stabilizer keeps it pretty light as well. So if I were to soap in the future I would use the stabilizer in the entire batch and use pretty colors since it appears to behave nicely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">My only negative is I think the scent is pretty light and the only scent I really pick up on is vanilla. It is a very nice vanilla, and that is how I will list it as I don't pick up any of the other notes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't decide what colors to use on this scent, so while digging through my box of colored goodness I came across 2 micas I haven't soaped before. "Neon Pink" and "Blackstar Green", both from TKB Trading.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The vanilla content of this scent is 14% so using vanilla stabilizer was a given here. You can see the uncolored soap yellowed a bit, so I was hoping it would whiten up like it did on the "Strawberry Picnic" scent.</span></span><br />

Right, no fun! So now on to the review...Who doesn't love the scent of summer-ripened strawberries blended delectably with a hint of green leaf? This fragrance is mouth watering out of the bottle.</span><br />

When you open the bottle and take a sniff....it smells like a campfire. To be honest had I ordered this I would have said eww...and put on the shelf to never touch. But since I committed to review... I soaped it...I am in love! this smells just like the description and I think it is a wonderful manly scent.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Mix together and bathe. I have a lil Chihuahua, so this one batch gave me 3 scrubbings on him...yes all in the same bath... to be sure the smell was gone. If your dog is bigger you may want a double batch.</span><br />

Its fragrant of light brown sugar with vanilla extract, rich butter and sugar cookie. YUM!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I divided the batch 3 ways....using no additional colors I am going to use the fragrance oils for my colorants....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">One has the fragrance oil, one the fragrance oil with vanilla stabilizer since the vanilla content of this fragrance is 17% (whoa!), and the last one has no fragrance. I just spoon layered and plopped in the mold. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">And the end result is a wonderful trio of colors...the dark brown of the fragrance oil, a warm brown containing the vanilla stabilizer, and the off white of the natural soap.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This was a great fragrance to soap, no acceleration and smells great!</span><br />
