Soap from our Cold Process Line
My apologies for the short blog post today. It’s been a fabulous day with lots of progress made on inventory (almost done with the counting! yay!) and we are loving the fun questions about projects you’re making over your winter breaks. Judging from the phone calls today, a lot of you are making Cupcake Bath Fizzies.
Over our inventory break, we’ve continued working on the new season of SoapQueen TV in earnest and have the scripts done up for an episodes on Rebatch soap, Massage Candles and more. You will be able to watch those shows in early February (if not sooner!). If you’re a fan of SQTV and like the projects, you might want to check out these extra long SQTV tutorials over at Bramble Berry. Two of them feature SoapyLove‘s exclusive projects that turn out great every single time.
I’m also planning a trip to Saudi Arabia with the Entrepreneur’s Organization for business classes. I’m excited about the opportunity to learn from some of the top business minds in the world on subjects like Cross-Cultural Entrepreneurship and Women Entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia. I’ll be out of the country the 15th through the 25th of January, leaving the blog in Amber’s capable hands on the days I am not able to post.
Again, apologies for the short post today; look for a blog post tomorrow on Copper Penny & Emerald Mica tests in CP soap. Until then, happy soaping!
Hi Anon – I have a Valentine's Day one coming up around mid-January and then there's this one:

with the Pumpkin Puree. The soap turned out great!
Are you by chance doing a cold-process tutorial coming up?
Thanks Anne-Marie!
Brigette,
The molds are just our 2 and 4 pound loaf molds:

They're super easy to use and have a cutter that you can buy if you are like me and are cutter-challenged.
Ayesha, I have two Abayas now but I am confused if I have to make sure none of my hair shows at all? Since I have so much in the way of bangs, I'm just not sure how much I should be covering with regards to that?
Emotions, You are right! The trip of a lifetime for sure! =)
I am impressed that the Saudi government has allowed a business conference that focuses on women entrepreuners. Let me tell you, there are plenty there. Even when I lived there 1977-1985 the women found ways to run businesses while keeping a low profile to the male population. I expect things have changed since then. I know there are more modern conveniences and selection in the stores. I worked in healthcare and it was amazing to see all the fancy dress and even designer clothes beneath the black abayas. Have a great time..at least it will not be too warm this time of year.
I love SQTV so much. It was what got me interested in making m/p soap. You rock Anne-Marie. Be safe in Saudi and have a wonderful trip, that is like a trip of a lifetime. Good for you!
I love the soaps you pictured. I ordered a few bars with my last order and they smell fabulous. Looking forward to using them. Can you tell me what mold you use for those? I have a flat mold that I use for CP and the bars come out about that size but would love to find a log mold that would work for layering and such. Most of the log molds I have seen or tried make much bigger bars that are hard to handle. Hope you have a great trip to Saudi Arabia.
all sounds wonderful~~ can't wait for the new year!!
oh can't wait to hear about the mica test I just got your copper penny one. It worked great in mp soap I just haven't gotten around to trying in cp yet.
wow! saudi, eh? let me know if you need a debriefing on going into a muslim country. dress and such – my family travels there yearly. best of luck!
