Today Zoe and I spent a little time creating soap recipes. We made oatmeal/shea butter soap, apricot scrub/honey soap, and — the prettiest of all — eucalyptus/peppermint soap.
Looks kinda like a blarney stone, huh?
We also made one lavender bar just for Zoe, because she wanted something purple and calm smelling.
The kitchen was temporarily turned into a lovely little alchemy lab, with pretty scents and swirling colors. It was a nice break from the usual burnt lasagna smells and the swirling, choking black smoke of forgotten-pot-on-the-burner. For once there was something right going on in my kitchen…

I need to learn how to make these. They would be great gifts for visiting teaching. (Maybe I’ll just buy them from you.)
