I'm still making soaps and have tried many many many different things!
I have one major thing that I need to remember though, and also tell you.
Note: Never use real fruits or their juices in soap (with the exception of lemon juice).
It rots.
Anywho, other than this, I have found many things that do work! Like coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice.
OH!!! And I got two new molds. This rectangle one you see below, and an oval one just like it.

I also tried poppy seed. It seems to be popular, but I personally do not like it...it is the black speckled soaps in the last picture.
I'm having a lot of fun with this new idea, and new hobby. It is very relaxing after a day of work, and editing.
Talking about that, I am considering starting a writer's platform for myself, to raise awareness of my book so hopefully I'll be able to be published some day. I still have a long way to go on my book, but maybe I can do it...
I am definitely going to be praying about this sort of thing. I have a lot of decisions coming up, and I am very good at worrying.
Handsome Gnome is good at reminding me to trust God through this.
And I know that He is in control...
Sometimes I just need to sit back and see where He is leading me...I've had to do that this year already, trusting Him. He closed a door, and now I'm waiting for His guidance again.
So, all that to say, trust God. :) He always knows what He is doing, even if we can't always see the big picture...
Now, back to editing!
