Make it Monday - Soap

Nico's paternity leave meant that I finally got around to making my first batch of soap. The biggest hurdle was getting my head around the science part.

I hunted around online and between this blog, this calculator, and my scientist husband, my plan came together.

The process itself was quite fun and I'm looking forwatd to experimenting with recipes, scents and dyes. I'm keeping a soap journal to have a record of what went well.

I cut the soap into rough bars. I quite like the rustic look but may experiment with molds at some point.

Now they have to dry for four to five weeks before I can use them and see how they turned out. Loving this new hobby!
