Happy Friday! This week, Lily and I have made a few batches of soap, given a talk on entrepreneurship at the college, and enjoyed wandering through Bramble Berry’s Facebook page and seeing photo after photo of beautiful soapy creations. She’ll be a soap expert before she’s 1! From the #4thofJuly Challenge (see our Facebook album here) to summer inspired projects (like this one and this one), there was no shortage of creativity and inspiration. Are you ready for this week’s winner? Drum-roll please ….

This week’s tropical soaps were made by Hilary at Ivy Lane Soaperie. These two soaps are immediately eye-catching because of their bright colors. Hilary says the swirl blue soap on the left was scented with Soapy Clean Fragrance Oil and colored with Aqua Pearl Mica (which is her go-to summer color). The soap on the right, Lemonade Pie, blended several Bramble Berry citrus scents.  Thanks to Hilary for being part of our soapmaking community on Bramble Berry’s Facebook page, and to everyone else who shows off their creations each week. Happy soaping!
