getting high - soap porn-ing!

salam..

guess what i've been doing for the past weeks

since i couldnt make time to do soaps, i view them.

YES!
YES!
YES!

entertaining myself with the much needed soap porn..
from the web and the FB group, Soaper's Retreat!

what else could i do?

I am in the office, mixing work with the tiniest bit of pleasure..

If I were at home, I'd probably make time to do a little bit of soaping.
Coz my nephew is at the nanny's..

But I'm at work and soap porn-ing is the best I could do to satisfy my urges.

...

it is a relief..

...

for now..

Shampoo bar Rebatched (15Nov12)

hi

seems that i cant upload pics anymore!
I've used all my 1GB space (that I didnt know was limited)

sad.

this might be the last blog with pics, unless i upgrade, i think..

I've made the shampoo bar.

tried to do the hearts swirl but soap was to thick!
(heart colours was cocoa powder and turmeric)

hasilnya - kek batik! hehehe

lye pockets showed!!!!
water+aloe vera - less water, maybe thats why..

so had to rebatch!

fyi, this soap is soft

i could mash it with my hands, with the consistency of mashed potato.
(now colour is light orange)

Shampoo Bar

i wanna make a shampoo bar(s) tomorrow, using Soap Queen recipe.

maybe i could ask my mom to take care of Nawfal in the morning...

hehehe

Otherwise i cant do anything.. really.. 

right now, his naps are really really short.maybe an hour or less.
and if that happens, i really cant do anything but just sit beside him and watch him play, when he wakes up. and watch a bit of TV when he sleeps.

he's in the stage where he will crawl, yes. and CLIMB. just so he could stand.
he's started climbing the stairs, which is a definite no-no.
he has been watching us going up and down the stairs so he wants to do the same.
but he could only managed to climb the first step so far..

i'm really excited about the shampoo bar thing.
i want to cure my dandruff woes.

if it works, i can have my daughter use it too coz her dandruff problem is slightly worse than mine.

i've only used my soap bars as an All-in-One, Top-to-Toe kind-of wash. I use it for my hair and body. 

I have many soaps for use now but i want to have a specific one for my hair, 
specifically to cure my dandruff! 

hopefully this works!

XOXO

apa apa sahaja

m ingat m kena fikir secara serius apa yang min nak dalam kehidupan m.
terutamanya berkenaan sabun min. 

sama ada min nak jual atau tak. 

dan kalau min nak jual, min nak jual apa sebenarnya...

m rasa m dah pernah post something like this before...


hmm..


but seriously, memang m kena fikirkan pasal ni.


m dah buat pendaftaran perniagaan sebelum ni tapi itu pun sebab nak dapatkan NaOH.

dan akhirnya, pendaftaran tu tinggal nama jerr..

sebab tak jual apa-apa pun dan tak war-warkan nama perniagaan tu pun pada sesiapa.


banyak sangat benda yang perlu m fikir, m buat.


m tak boleh nak jual sabun-sabun yang berlainan setiap kali.

m kena pastikan m ada beberapa sabun asas.

dan kemudian, baru hasilkan sabun baru.


tapi bosanlah buat sabun yang sama sampai bila-bila.. kan..


kan..?

Latest ITP Swirl soap (26Oct12)

Salam,

I've managed to make at least 8 bars of soap last Friday!!

In The Pot Swirl Cold Processed Soap

Yea!!

It's been awhile, really!!

i was so so so hoping for it ..

and alhamdulillah, I managed to make some!!

The only available colours i have was 
the carbon (black-grey colour) and turmeric (yellow-orange).

no time to blend the pandan leaves that day for the colour green.

made do with whatever i have in hand!

tore off some dried roselle leaves.
if only i had immerse them in the distilled water earlier, 
i would have had a reddish purplish water. 

but i doubt that colour would stay after i've mixed lye into it 
(thats another adventure-haha)

feel free to feast your eyes!!

it was a last minute decision to do the ITP swirl

here's the soap, wet

Look at the picture above and tell me what you see  =)

i like the effect the flash made to the soap pic, all shiny!!

chao chao!!


p.s I've decided, for this post, that i put the date next to the post title
 so that I know when i made the soap.

i know, i should take notes but it is derived from the same recipe as before.

except for the EO's!

this time I managed to actually put almost the correct amount. 
i did say almost!

Patchouli, lavender, and lime..

i think!

oops!
