This is my first “Collection” in my soaping journey. The soaps pictured below are in my Fall Collection. Finally made another Lemon Poppy Seed Soap which would be great for exfoliating and cleaning your hands after prepping your garden for fall . The Lemon Poppy Seed Soap is all natural, vegan-friendly, and palm free. TheContinue reading “Fall Collection”

Today I was making a couple of hand washing videos for my Etsy site (Etsy.com/shop/dmandsoap) and thought I would share one here.  Hope everyone is using really great soap with every 20 second hand wash!  There has been a lot of interest in my Cotton Candy soap over on Etsy so I used a barContinue reading “Hand Washing in Action”

I have to say that I love the way this soap turned out.  This was a tough soap to work with and I thought all was lost.  I tried a new swirl, six colors, and a new fragrance (perhaps not the best combo first time around).  Each color reacted differently (from no acceleration to aContinue reading “Pride Soap 2020”

to participate in markets this year to sell my soaps, they are canceled!  I applied to markets starting in April (my first one in 2020 would have been tomorrow) and throughout the summer.  I never thought I would sell my soap online but here I am now selling soap on Etsy.  We will see howContinue reading “Just when I am ready……”

I like to wrap my soaps in cellophane so they are as untouched as possible when you purchase them but……. As I keep learning about products, wrapping, etc.  I come to understand that cellophane wrapping is not eco friendly so once the wrappings that I have already purchased are finished I will no longer useContinue reading “To wrap or not to wrap…..”

Just break off a piece or pieces of your wax melt and place them in a proper unit such as a warmer or a melter.  Some of these units are electric and some you use with a tea light. If using a tea light, to melt your wax, it is best if the tea lightContinue reading “Wax Melts”

Keep your soap out of water when not in use. Let your soap dry thoroughly after each use. Keep your soap in a soap dish that allows for drainage. I try to keep my soaps standing upright in the shower (of course I have a six soaps in the shower). Most soaps are ready afterContinue reading “Soap Care”
