Orange and Pine Essential Oil Confetti Handmade Soap
This fun soap is created with pine and orange essentail oils. I've added bits and pieces of my favorite scented soap like:
Ylang Ylang - Pink (essential oil)
Nag Champa - Purple (fragrance oil)
Patchouli - Green (essential oil)
Sweet Opium - Blue (essential oil)
Dragon's Blood, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Amber Mix - Light Purple (essential & fragrance oils)
I enriched this bar with unrefined shea butter and sweet almond oil. It's very moisturizing and leaves your skin feeling so soft.
I can't really explain this scent at all, but it's very good! The pine and orange base make it refreshing and light, while the bits and pieces of all that goodness give it a sweet darker note. I keep smelling it and all I can say is 'ahhh' and smile. Sometimes if you smell a certain area you can smell exactly what that soap is. The overall smell is very, very nice!
I use almost all of my plain (meaning no added herbs and stuff) as shampoo bars. My method: Lather up a wash cloth really REALLY good and squeeze it out onto your hair. This is easier then trying to lather your hands and then transfer. Scrub it up and use the remainder for your body. Close your eyes for the hair part though - or ouch! Then rinse and you are all done. You've saved water, time and smell great too. Ah…
You will receive one bar weighing in at more than 5+ ounces. These are very large bars and I've cut them nice and thick and tall. There's plenty of soap here to cut this in half and share with your best friend and still have plenty left over.
It's good to let your soap air out between uses for a longer lasting bar. Store your handmade soaps in a cool dry place letting them breathe. I cut mine in quarters to make them last longer :-) and this way I can use a different soap everyday - yay me!
Hand crafted soaps are so good for your skin. No added chemicals and all the natural glycerin is retained. I'll never go back to buying store bought chemical laden soaps.
Maybe you are wondering if essential oils are right for you. I'm not a doctor moonlighting as a soap maker. I'm not making any medical claims that aren't present with a little research. Please use your best, wise judgment and research essential oils, their properties, effects, benefits and cautions when using them. There's a great wealth of information online and it's just a click away :-)

Today I visited Powerscourt Shopping Centre and on the 2nd. Floor I came across a very attractive shop trading under the name LaMoM.
I am not an expert when it comes to soaps, perfumes and essential oils but the prices appear to to be very good so if you need to buy a present for someone you now know where to go.

Week 45 Your Favourite Hobby
I guess I'm lucky that my work to a large extent IS my hobby - I spend a lot of time researching the benefits of complementary therapies and their use in conjunction with allopathic medicine. Currently I work with oncology patients at a major teaching hospital, so can use my knowledge in a constructive way.
Aromatherapy in particular is both an art and a science. This is my workbox showing a selection of the sixty or so essential oils I use, each of them offering a varying approach to physical and mental wellbeing.
