Week 1 of Soap Making!

Mashed potatoes for the win 😅 I can’t unsee that so thanks Callaway. I was super intimidated by doing this for the first time and rightfully so but I love watching how it starts turning into soap so suddenly. I do need to figure out a better way to heat my oils because that was a pain on

JUNE: week 1 - natural skincare

Of course I liked the most expensive one 😅 This week I experimented with homemade coffee scrubs, brown sugar scrubs, and a kaolin clay polish. This would make such a fun girls night. Everyone could make their own custom scrub and compare results, might have to do that soon so stay tuned.

Learn a new craft with me ☕️

This time dipping my brush in coffee was not an accident 😅 After turning dandelions into a watercolor paint, I wanted to learn what else around me could be used to bring a little color into the world. So this month I’m diving into learning how to make natural dyes, pigments, and paints.
