MSM Lotion can now be ordered on angelicglow.com. If you really like to slather it on, just email me for a gallon size. Small or large comes in a nice pump bottle allowing you to drop essential oil into your palm, then a squirt of lotion for a nice healing application.

Norwich Advanced Soapmaking Class Coming Up!

This coming Saturday same time, same place at the Norwich Chenango BOCES campus as we were for yesterday's beginner class. It was a great day with 17 students going home with their unique creations of a successful batch of 30 bars. Remember a little later today to make your lotion from your large pot scrapings and cut your soaps. Have a great week and see you for the Advanced class.

Everything You Need to Know You Learned in Soapmaking Class

We share nicely! My advanced classes are set up to split your 30 bar batch into 3 molds. You keep one of 10 bars and get to pick two other students' soap. This allows each student to go home with 3 different kinds of 10 bars each. During my Sunday home advanced class, we all split our batch in two then enriched and scented about 15 bars of each kind. When you attend with a friend, you can each enjoy four or more kinds. Whew hew! Never enough kinds of healthy soap. Have a great Easter! xo Ri

Coming Up Roses

Think I'll join my class today and split a batch of goat's milk soap of Rose Petals and Rosewood essential oil. The Rosewood half will be enriched with Shea butter, avocado oil, kelp and red clay. The Rose Petals half will be natural with ground oatmeal. Both excellent facial bars full of glycerin and nutrients for soft and smooth skin. I'm so addicted. Have a soapy day!

Lilac and Indian Paintbrush

Think purple for Spring! These two custom handmade soaps will be at the Abby's Enchanted Cottage, Vestal, NY. Really gets one in the mood for some sunny warm weather.

This coming Saturday, March 15, is the Advanced Soapmaking class at BCC and we are full! Will report back on the creativity of this group. Can't wait!

Remember if you can't make it to a BCC or BOCES scheduled class, join me in my kitchen. Usually held Sunday afternoons, this week we are a group of 5.

Cortland Advanced Soapmaking Class Scheduled

Cortland OCMBOCES has agreed to schedule an Advanced Soapmaking Class for July 19, Saturday, 9-noon. It is a while away but you'll probably just be finishing up your batch of 30 bars from the Beginner Class. The Advanced Class offers 3 base recipe options including a vegetarian, a goat's milk option, plus tons of herbs, colors and essential oil/fragrance options. Norwich Beginner Soapmaking at the DCMOBOCES is this Saturday from 9-noon. Remember, keep on soaping on!

Where Does the Time Go?

Wow, this week flew by. Cortland Beginner Soapmaking was a great time with very creative students. Students had options in making their traditional soap by adding oatmeal, cinnamon, lemon balm or purple or pink color. They could scent it with Lemongrass, Cinnamon or Lavender essential oils plus a fragrance called Firewood. It is always fun watching their expressions when I do the soap to lotion demo. If you are interested in an Advanced and Master Soapmaking class at the Cortland OCMBOCES facility, just contact them asap. The class is plugging via evaluation forms for a weeknight class from 6-9 pm. Don't forget the Accupressure FaceLift Class today! Hope to see you. xo Ria
