ok...it's corny, I know but....I love homemade Soap! In fact, I love all things homemade and as I was washing dishes this afternoon (by hand, of course!) it occurred to me that I am truly a do it yourselfer. That is just my mindset, if I see something new or something that I want, my first thought is "I wonder if I can make that??" So, that is how my soap making story began....Fresh out of the shower and covered in itchy welts from my commercial shampoo, I decided I was sick and tired of breaking out everyday. I sat down at the computer and started reading recipes. Then I put myself in the car and drove to the library where I checked out two books. One was all about hot process, crock pot soap, complete with recipes and the other one was about all the different techniques of soap, from soapcrafting with melt and pour to cold process to hot soap. I read them both at least twice from cover to cover and I was hooked. And then I realized the benefits of homemade soap were really what they said...no more itcy dry skin. You can see my soap at www.9thstreet.etsy.com and also at www.9thstreet.ecrater.com I am definately hooked on making it and using it, my favorites are the shampoo bars. My hair loves them and no more welts! I am as passionate about telling people about it as I am making it and using it....try it! Tomorrow I am making cinnamon apple bars and I'm going to try a new shaving soap recipe, with white clay . I'll let you know how it turns out!
