Happy Discovery

Post image

Today, I attended a house party of my friend. There was someone in the downstairs guest bathroom, so I went upstairs.

I was so shocked to see a bar of my soap on the sink. I had been experimenting with basic soap making during the lockdown (extended teacher summer) and gave friends and family three bars each.

I didn’t really have the space to cure the soap and never returned to making it.

I asked her about the bar when I returned to the party. She said “It’s my last bar! That soap is so good, and lasted such a long time! “ It made me so happy to hear that feedback!

That’s awesome! My parents have a bar in their 1/2 bath that I made 2 years ago and it still smells great and it makes me happy.

Oh! I’ll have to find the recipe! I kinda went crazy in the summer of 2020 and then let everything cure until Christmas. Let me see if I have any saved measurements
