I FINALLY got my new Sony Vaio Laptop :) It's so brilliant and SO pink! I love it to pieces, despite the fact that I am having a little trouble navigating it. (I'm used to the macs)I also finally got around to making my second ever batch of cold process soap! I'm not quite sure how it is going to come out, as it obviously still has a few weeks of curing to go, but as of now, it looks alright. It's scented in "pink grapefruit". Again, I went overboard with the essential oil, adding a whole ounce of oil to a one pound batch instead of a half ounce. Yeah...I'm still learning, but I'm having a lot of fun in the process.
Obviously, I'm still experimenting with the whole swirling technique, as well. Honestly, when I first did this batch, the colour came out orange instead of pink, as I didn't anticipate that the grapefruit EO would be yellow. So, when I mixed in the red dye, it turned orange...but it's toned down quite a bit as far, and looking more like a pink grapefruit than a creamsicle!
As you can see, I cut the bars way to early, they were still soft and broke apart as I was cutting them. I can't help it, though! I just get excited about my soap and want to see how my swirling came out! I'm sure they'll be fine. I can't wait to use them! They smell amazing, as you can imagine.
I'm off to bop around on the web, and maybe make up some more bath bombs.

I like the way your soap turned out. I wouldn't worry about the essential oil. I've always noticed that the scent of EO is initially really strong but can tend to fade over time so having a bit more than usual in your recipe isn't always a bad thing. I like the pink. I bet it smells wonderful!
I like the way your soap looks - it looks organic and natural, the way I like my bath products to look. Also, I love that you used a citrus scent. I suppose it's time to put away the spiced scents and pull out the cleaner, summery ones.
