My First Soap!
Hey Reader! This week I am talking about a brand new thing I decided to try learning! Soap making! I am not going to be doing it totally from scratch - mostly because of the blindness issue. See, soap made from scratch uses lye, and lye can cause blindness if not used correctly. I wanted to make it totally from scratch, but when I went to Lowes, the 100% lye drain cleaner was out of stock. The fact that the product used to make soap is also used dissolve hair should give you a clue how dangerous this stuff is. I read a bunch of blogs and articles about soap making. Soap Queen has one of the best tutorials I could find on making soap from scratch and I do want to try it someday. However, I also like my eyes and flesh right where they are, not to mention there are hundreds of cool soap making tutorials and plans on Pinterest that use soap base. I did yoga the other day, and I will be honest with you - but just you and don't go telling other people. I'll be honest with you ...
