Correcting my mistakes in making homemade soap.


How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

I am a newbie at making soap. Love making soap! I love it more when it turns out how I want to!πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

Trying it in one of those big white old fashioned soap molds from a flea market

Soapmaking us like being in chemistry class in high school again. You need to be accurate. Wearing goggles, long sleeves, windows open, rubber gloves measuring cups, vinegar for any skin contact with the lye and a good digital scale

My silicone mold I bought off of Amazon. For me, it’s easier to remove my soap batch for cutting.

My husband loves it. The first recipe came perfectly fine.

Proverbs 31:12

β€œShe will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

King James Version (KJV)

It the second one that came out yucky from a new recipe that I might have messed up with the amount of oil that made it too hard.

And no, I didn’t take a picture of it. I was not satisfied with it.😊😊😊 Even though it was usable.

But all and all it is fun. Trying out new molds that don’t require any cutting. They are preformed into bars of soap. Just pour and pop out of mold when done!

Learning from my mistakes lead me to.stick with the 1st batch until I get the recipe well under my hat.πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

Peace and blessings ❀️
