What Causes Someone To Shake A Baby

Soap Mint - Peppermint Soap


What these spirits? I know some @ s you are a little discouraged because you are starting to make soap and you will not go all the soaps as I like, well, chic @ s ... un poco de paciencia, tenéis que pensar que de los fallos es de donde más se aprende y además a nadie se le ocurriría pensar que puede convertirse en Arguiñano nada más aprender a cocinar ¿no? pues el jabón igual, para aprender a hacer un buen jabón y dominar las diferentes técnicas hay que hacer bastantes jabones, y meter la pata unas cuantas veces y ya después de muchos jabones convertirse en el mejor jaboner @ mundial, pero si tiras la toalla en cuanto un par de jabones no te salen como quieres entonces nunca aprenderás. Esto sirve para cualquier cosa en la vida no sólo para hacer jabón, el único que llega a donde quiere es el que nunca tira la toalla, pase what, whatever they say, do what others do .... Why only some people get what they want? because the vast majority abandon our dreams sooner or later, the first few changes, other after struggling a bit and others when tired after a long fight we give up, let us convince our mind that tells us we are not sufficiently good, smart enough, young enough, enough ..... blah, blah, blah .... it's a waste of time, you're not going anywhere, that perhaps others can but you do not, and a million excuses but we believe we unfortunately face value feet .
Who do you think is right, you who have an enormous enthusiasm for learning to make soap and create the best soap that is created on the face of the earth or your mind giving you excuses and buts constantly to take away the head is illusion? You, of course, for that you are in this world to create and be happy, forget all the doubts that assail you, just let yourself carry and create.
Well, then roll philosophical, I tell you that this peppermint soap is made with the same technique I used in the entry More soap flowers. Just have to make soap, (If you do not know how to view the entries How to make soap, Soap Making (2) , How to make soap (3) , How to make soap (4) , How to make soap (5 ) and How to make soap (6) , then separáis into three parts, two of them have to add green colors (green rust) and blue (ultramarine blue) and the other party is going to be the most I mix their soap with white (titanium dioxide). you pour the soap into the mold and then the blue white and green with a utensil type removéis stick, drawings etc knife making your favorite ones.
Well, just for today. Many kisses to all and hope to receive your comments telling me your sorrows and joys with soap.




Sorry, no time for translation Inglés, hope to do it later. I hope you enjoy my new soaps dog anyway.

Soap Reviewed - Rebatching Soap

What girls or boys? How have you been this week?, I'm exhausted, I have a couple of weeks as Iliad, so I'm a bit disconnected from the blog and especially make soap. But the truth is I miss tell things, so today I got a little time to speak on a subject I have asked enough, consolidated. As some @ s already know from experience, sometimes you do soap and we do not as we would have liked, or maybe we forget an ingredient, or we are the soap scum and we do not use cookie cutters waste them, for all these cases we have consolidated. Basically, soap merge is grate, add a little liquid (and if you want some other additive) and recast it to heat. There are several ways to do this, the most popular are: a water bath at microwave, or directly to the fire, though so be careful to do so over very low heat, stirring constantly. We can add any liquid, water, tea, milk, etc and the amount depends somewhat on the recipe that was made soap and the time it takes done, so there is no exact amount, but can reference say that 10% of the weight of soap would be nice to start rallies. For example, if ralláis 1 kg of soap you can put 100 g of liquid, taking into account that as you see you can gradually add more, especially if you do direct fire (I sometimes use up to 30%) but remember echéis the more fluid you will have more time to stop the soap dry before use. The resulting soap is more rustic than normal (as seen in photo) and has a spongy texture.
recast There are other ways, such as adding a new traced soap and then use the hot method of making soap and some other that when I have time I hope to tell. The truth is that the revised method is a bit controversial because some people hate him and other people who like it a lot.
Well, put you to work with those remains that you have and let me know if you are from l @ s it odian o les encanta.
Mucho más jabón el próximo día, hasta entonces muchos besos.



How are you getting on? I am exhausted, it's been non stop for a couple of weeks and I have been disconnected from the blog and specially from making soap. But I really miss talking to you, so today I found some time to write about a topic that I have recived many questions about, rebatching soap . As some of you know by experience, sometimes soap doesn't turn out the way you expected, or sometimes you forget to add some ingredient or you simply have some soap leftovers from using cookie cutters, in all of these cases you can rebatch the soap so you don't waste it. Basically rebatching consists of grating the soap, adding some liquid , melt it on a source of heat and then add any other additive you may want . There are many ways of doing it but the most popular are: using the microwave, double boiler method or even direcly in the stove, in this case you have to try to keep the fire low and keep on turning the soap in the pot. In English speaking countries where they use the crock pot some people use this method as well.
You can use any liquid to rebatch soap, water, tea, milk, etc and the quantity of liquid depends on the initial recipe of the soap and for how long it has been made, so there is not an exact quantity but as a reference you can start with about 10% of the weight of the grated soap. Lets say you have 1Kg of grated soap, then you will add 100 gr of liquid, taking into account that you may need to add more as you go along, specially if you are doing it on a pot on top of the stove ( I sometimes use up to 30% of liquid) but remember that the more liquid you add the more time you will have to let it dry and the soap will shrink quite a bit. The resulting soap is more rustic and uneven looking than normal soap ( as you can see in the picture) and the texture is somehow spongy or at least not as hard as normal soap.
There are other ways of rebatching wich are not so widely used such as adding the grated soap in a new traced soap and cook it as in the hot process method and some other variants. To tell you the truth, rebatching is a very subject polemic on soap making, as There Are People Who just plain hate it and Other People who like it a lot.
Ok, so now get Those old soap bits out of the cupboard and start rebatching Them and let me know if You are one of the ones who love it or hate it. Next day
more soap, Until Then, kisses for all.

ideas for wrapping soap - Soap Wrapping Ideas

So far I have always taught my to natural soaps and I thought it would be cool to give you some ideas for wrapping soap as some soaps that are simple are much better presented if they added a ribbon, some pretty paper or a flashy label. From now on than give you recipes for soap , teach different techniques and show you my new soaps I also hope to go away by giving some ideas to package your soaps and simple even if you are precious.
These pictures show you some soaps all wrapped in the same role but each with a different detail. This type of paper is a little thicker than usual and so that it must mark the edges well enough, it's actually very simple but can change the look of your soap dramatically. Well ¿qué os parece como han quedado?


Until now I have shown you all my soaps without any packaging and I have thought that it would be a good idea to give you some ideas to wrap your soap because some soaps that are quite simple look much better if you add them some cord, some nice paper or even a nice tag.
In these photos you can see some soap wrapped with the same paper but in each one I have added a different lace or tag, as you can see you can get different looks just by changing an small detail. This kind of paper is thicker than normal so in order for it to look good you have to make sure that each fold is well scored . So ¿do you like their look?
