Sometimes you try things and they go horribly wrong. Sometimes you try things and they go terribly right. Well I got both in one week.

Firstly I tried to use my new neon colours in a CP soap. The colours I chose were neon green and pink, exactly the right colours an 80's band had in the Netherlands (DoeMaar). I got flash backs of fingerless gloves and leg warmers, but then again that is how my sweet daughter dresses as well, so who is old fashioned now?
Anyway, I made the soap and at light trace I added the soap to the neon colours that I pre-mixed with some glycerine. I noticed a slight smell from the green as I mixed, but thought this would go away. I put in some apricot PO and it smelled even worse. Still thinking it was nothing I started pouring and it went really wrong. The green batch started to split and messed up my pink too. Now there was nothing left to do. I put it away hoping it would turn out not so bad as it looked. The smell of bad soap and sweet apricot was nausiating, so I did not make friends at home.
The next day it looked like neon rice pudding gone hard with a thick layer of oil on top. Still smelly, so I felt there was only one way of doing justice to this soap... of in the bin. I even forgot to take a pic for the record.

After recovering from my soapaster, I decided to try my newly tweaked bubble bar recipe. As the first one went well, I decided to see it I could make a success of the next ones as well, so I made 4 and they worked every time. I feel really happy I have figured it out.

My personal fav is the Spa Bar. The scent is much nicer than I thought out of the bottle.


My son has a new favourite. First it was the Blue Apple.

But today he tried the ChocoVanilia and loved it. Very bubbly and a nice warm scent. Could hardly get him out of the bath.


The one than makes my whole house smell is the 5 B's (BlueBerryBubbleBathBar).


Now I found that I can actually replicate the recipe I am going to develop the BubbleBathBar line for the shop. Hopefully I can develop some nice ones for the christmas markets as well.
