Soapy Social Media Roundup

Another week, another wonderful weekend. Last Saturday I was busy running the Bellingham Bay Half Marathon, and that went so well that I’m doing it again this weekend.  Run Like a Girl Marathon is today and my pregnant friend Patrice and I ran while the kiddos and Chris did the Home Depot Kids Project. Below, Jamisen and Lily congratulated me at the end of last weekend’s race. I like to think that watching their parents train for marathons is teaching lessons about hard work, determination and accomplishing goals. I guess we will find out! =)

If you’re enjoying a low key day and are in need of some soapy inspiration, check out my favorite pins, tweets and ‘grams from this week below!

• I love this quote. It’s up to you to make your life worth loving…nobody else is going to do it for you!
• I’m a huge fan of ombre soap, and this Raspberry Cream Cold Process Soap by Ruth of The Sirona Springs Blog is gorgeous.
• Who doesn’t love a rainbow color palette? These Unicorn Magic Bath Bombs are so striking. The layers and colors really pop!
• Speaking of unicorns, how adorable is this Unicorn Invitation Printable? These might be perfect for Lily’s next birthday.
• Pink flamingos would be such a fun and unique party theme. This party decor from Poppies For Grace is inspiring!

This week felt like fall, which means it’s time to bust out the candles! Look out for the tutorial for these silver glitter candles next week.

While the temperatures have been dropping in the Pacific Northwest, the weather was perfect for the Bellingham Bay Half Marathon last weekend. I’m so glad to have finished the race with friends by my side. You can read more about the race and my experience here. On the right is a super girly confetti cold process soap made with the new Bramble Berry Juicy Couture Type Fragrance Oil. It smells amazing!
It was only a few months ago that the team and I created 30+ recipes during the photo shoot for my upcoming book, Pure Soap Making. The book doesn’t come out until February 2016, but you can pre-order now! Psssst: free goodies for pre-order friends.
