No, really, that's what I shall call this one :) Happy dance, happy dance! Actually, last time I made rosemary mint, I did a hot process castile soap with just a green swirl in. I used a fo from Rustic Escentuals and it was a hit with everyone, even me! (And I don't really like herbal-ish things much...though they are growing on me). Everyone loved it and I initially just wanted to make another batch...HOWEVER....
My luck this last week or 2 with "remakes and round twos" has been poor to say the least. Flat out pitiful and bad to be honest. I also had a decent bit of less than lovely, crooked, odd sized bars that needed to be dealt with. Mostly my version of castile, mostly plain with no real color...I did have a box of scraps and shavings kicked aside too....hmmmm.....
Since I have been playing around and reading more and more blogs, I came across this one in particular over, again, at Greatcakes Soap Works. Now, when I rebatch I don't usually go adding stuff in, I just melt it down, add fragrance and plop it in the mold. Heck, most times I just melt it down and mold it up, cutting it into bars of stuff I can use around here to bath critters and wash my hands! But sometimes I get a tad creative and scent it pretty like...
BAM!!! That's when it hit me! Since I had so much mostly plain soap, and since rosemary mint is a mostly natural kind of smell (I still use a fragrance oil - not really big into natural stuff beyond the goat milk, just not my thing) anyways, BAM I said!
In light of the current trend of multiple rounds of soap turning out to be doomed...I decided to do something different and THIS is what I got:
I shall call it "Rosemary ROCKS!" A) Because it looks like rocks and B) Because it does! LOVE that smell too! So, I suppose I have had 2 wins in one day and I have a third one to share, but I am saving it for another evening... I am in love with how it looks like my kitchen counters (even though they are formica and not granite lol)...To me, this one says "herbal" when you see it!
Nearly natural soaps, lotions, scrubs and more! Always finding ways to incorporate the awesome creamy goodness of my fresh goats milk into bath and body products meant to soothe and care for the skin! Also as time rolls on adding some other things to the line up to spice it up a bit....a touch of crochet....some plushies....random things ;) Makes my day a little more interesting.
