Soapy Social Media Roundup

Happy Saturday! Yesterday the team and I spent the day filming Soap Queen TV videos. I know you all have been chomping at the bit for new videos, so the wait is almost over. =) If I could, I would film and post a new video every week, but the videos take a lot of time to test, prep and film. Thanks for being so patient! I will be posting some photos and videos from the shoot tomorrow.

Next week, be on the lookout for projects that make great wedding favors. If you missed the first tutorial, check out the Wedding Favor Cold Process Soap Tutorial here. In addition, a collection of packaging items are 15% off until March 18th with the code: WEDFAV. Click here to see all the sale items.

• This Paper Plate Rainbow Craft is a great way for kids to learn the color of the rainbow. Plus, the final product looks really cute.
• I’m always looking for new healthy lunch ideas that I can make ahead of time. This Mediterranean Farro Salad looks so delicious.
• The colors and pattern in this Spinner, Spinner Chicken Dinner (such a cute name!) soap by Om Nom Soap are stunning.
• Speaking of gorgeous colors, take a gander at this Rainbow Layered Cold Process Soap Cake by Petals Bath Boutique.

It’s so fun to watch the Bramble Berry team expand their soaping skills. Haley, who works in the office (meet her here!), created this beautiful cold process soap with mica painting. She has only made about five batches of cold process soap. Obviously, she is a natural! To create these colors, Haley used Plum Dusk Mica, Radiant Plum Colorant and Ultramarine Lavender Pigment.

This layered melt and pour soap took a while to complete, but I think my patience paid off. Melt and pour layers require extra time to cool and harden before pouring. If you’d like to learn more about melt and pour layers, check out this Soap Queen TV video.

• Looking for a chocolate-y treat that’s also healthy? I made these paleo peppermint patties and they were delicious.
• This “Where to Live to Avoid a Natural Disaster” infographic makes me love Bellingham even more. How does your city fare?
• Carbs get a bad rap. But, not all carbs are “bad” for you. This video explains how carbs impact your health.
• Instagram is probably my favorite social media outlet. If you use Instagram for your business, this article is full of great tips.
• Google’s self driving car was involved in possibly the first crash in which the car was to blame.
