Waste Not, Want Not....

You may remember I recently posted pics of my Valentine's Days soaps here.  Well, I am sad to say that Love Dust lost its scent entirely within a few days of cutting *sad face*  Never mind - the fragrance oil is soooo lovely and I will still scent my lotions and scrubs with it!


I have been pondering what to do with Love Dust as I know from experience that unscented soap doesn't sell well at my market stall unless it also uncoloured and targets sensitive skin.  Here is the first soap I have made using shavings and soap balls.  It is scented with a fragrance oil from Natures Garden called "Kiss and Tell" and is still waiting to be cut....


Love Dust reincarnated (aka Kiss Me) - just out of the mould this morning











It smells so pretty!  The scent includes notes of purple passion fruit, burgundy Tuscan grapes, sun-kissed yellow peonies, fragrant vanilla orchids, and just a hint of fresh greenery.

I will post cut pics just as soon as I can!  Have an awesome day *smile*

Love that middle layer. Want to scoop it out with a spoon and eat it. But that wouldn't look so pretty would it? OK, I'll leave it alone. Noce job.

Waste not, want not...my mom used to tell me this when I was a kid and it really makes sense. Love the blue chips in the middle layer.
