Well I have finally taken the plunge to start, 'the blog'. For awhile I've basically been using my Facebook business page as a blog, but I'm tired of being used and manipulated by Facebook's punitive algorithms, basically holding me and my whopping 154 'Likes' hostage, unless I pay to 'boost' as they like to call it, so my followers can actually see my posts. So here I am and enough about that, let's get going! I'm learning about this blogging thing as I go, so be patient with me.
I make soap, by hand, from scratch, the old fashioned way. It's called Cold Process soap making, meaning no external heat is applied during the process. Soap makes it's own heat, but that's a whole other blog post. Soap is made with oils, butters and lye. Yes that's sodium hydroxide, caustic soda, whatever you want to call it, but you can't make soap without it, no matter what you've read or heard. Another day, we'll talk about that.
I've been making soap for about 2 1/2 years now, and what can I say, I love it! Everything I do, I'm thinking about soap, what to make, how to make it, there's always something new to try. When I see pictures of certain food, i think it's soap, when in fact, it's a pretty, layered dessert of some sort! Inspiration for the next soap is everywhere. Every inanimate object is a potential mold. I could go on but you get the idea, it's a passion, an addiction, for which there is no rehab, thankfully.
I've made this passion (addiction) a business, which I intend to take as far as it will go. You know the expression, 'when you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life', no truer words were ever uttered :) By for now, and thanks, xo
