Ugly soap




So- I've had this little dilemma (quit minor in the grand scheme of things really). Well, recently I made this batch of soap. Once I was done pouring it into the mold, I was happy and excited because it smelt really delightful I had made beautiful purple, red and green swirlies. With gold dust sprinkles. It was supposed to be a girly girl's soap and would invoke the feeling of giddy happiness.

Well, can I tell you that those grandiose visions were soon killed off as I watched my beautiful batch cure over the next few weeks. it went from a lovely creamy white to caramel and then onto the ugly brown you see in the picture. Quite disgusted. I decided that the entire batch was destined for nowhere further than down the hallway to my own bathroom, as it just did not pass the grade "A" quality that is required, that's why I called it ugly soap- my batch of uglies.

But, to my surprise all my ugly soap did not quite make it to my bathroom, persons came in, saw them and purchased them, now I am down to just 2 ugly bars out of 48 that I started with. I guess only those that love our soaps and are not picky, just simply frugal would purchase our ugly soaps. After all it is still good soap, just not -"put the good soap in the bathroom because company's coming kind of soap.) (laugh).

I want to take this time to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all of my customers. You are wonderful!

What a delightful site!
I enjoyed the blogs, the pictures of your soaps, and the interesting facts. I think the Shea Butter will be more my thing (soap) as I suffer with dry (sometimes sensitive) skin.
Keep up the great job Kiddo.
