Paw Print Soap!

-
Hey Reader,

This is the last of my bath projects for a while. I really need to get back to the walls eventually! I wanted to make some hand soaps for my powder room, and why not have them be puppy prints!

You know I have been obsessed with my new scents from P&J. Every time I talk to them I imagine Peter and Janet (I don't know if that is right, but go with me) having a child named Brad and changing their name to PB and J. I have my own fun.


Anyway, I did one minor bit of experimenting on this one. See, I only had a small amount of the
opaque soap mix left from my orange creamsicle soap. It was definitely not enough for a whole batch of puppy print soap. However, I did have one bar of that soap left. I wondered if I could harvest it and use it again. I can't smell the orange anymore. It probably isn't an ideal situation, but it worked for this.

I was again reminded to microwave your soap in 10 second increments. I definitely boiled over and it is quite difficult getting soap off the microwave tray. A lesson I hoped I wouldn't have to learn twice, but here we are.

By chance, I melted enough for exactly half of the paw print molds. So when I made a second batch I did the other P&J scent.

I used soap colorant from the craft store. It doesn't feel like it is as strong as food coloring is in bath bombs, but I also don't know how food coloring would react in soaps. I will stick to what I know for now.

When it was all done, I laid it out on a cute dish celebrating New Jersey and I think it looks great in the bathroom.

Y'all best keep making cool stuff!
Until next time,
JoshPrime

Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Kit!

Hey reader! I know I promised you cotton candy making, but this post is time sensitive! This is kind of a unique post today. I am writing about my experience making the Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Ki t . What is Foodstirs? Foodstirs is the new box dessert delivery company owned by Sarah Michelle Gellar of Buffy fame. All of the ingredients in a Foodstirs box are ethically sources, non GMO, and organic. The recipes are also designed to be fun and easy to make with kids. JustLeah and I host the weekly Buffy podcast, J and L Watches , and when we saw that this product existed we thought it would be super awesome to give it a try. We are pretty much children ourselves, so this could be a great project! We were not paid or compensated in any way for this review, but if Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to send us more donuts, we are very cool with that. Anyway, even the packaging is adorable! It didn't come with quite everything we needed to make donuts. We needed to provide ...

Ecto Cooler Fail

Hey Reader, Not all projects can be successful. I remember this blog started with a failed attempt to make a pumpkin shaped puppet (that really I think I can do better this time, but thats a blog post for another day). Recently, I have been on a 90s kick. I can remember an employee I had once sharing feedback with me that it was hard to relate in conversations with me because I talked about the 80s so much. I told him he was a child and that I was, in fact, talking about the 90s. Suffice to say, this 90s obsession has been happening for a while now. I really wanted to make some Hi-C Ecto Cooler. If you are not as obsessed with "the eighties" as me: 1. What is wrong with you? and 2. Here is an explanation of Hi-C Ecto cooler . Ecto Cooler was a drink produced by Hi-C in a brand deal promoting the The Real Ghostbusters TV series from 1986. It was actually just a repurposing of their Citrus Cooler flavor, but this time dyed a funky green color like the character of Slimer fr...

New House Series - Media Room Pt 1 - Walls Pt 3

Ok Reader, I gave you a short break from my constant wall talk. Now we are back at it full force. Here is the situation: Wall smoothing has been an insane amount of work. All that talk of rue-ing aside, I have enjoyed it for the most part. However, the epic tale of wall smoothing is about to take a turn. It finally appeared as if the wall smoothing was done and I started thinking paint colors. Since this room is designed to look like its night, I wanted a dark blue. It isn't a huge room, so I had to think about not making it too cave-like. I happen to like caves myself, but that is a whole separate conversation. I settled on a pretty bright blue color. My thought was this: if the color is really bright, that will compensate for it being a room that rarely has the lights on (since its for movies of course). I bought a tester of paint. I have some questions for the painters among us. There are whole aisles in the home improvement stores of paint. I went wandering down their to ...
