Hippie Heaven

Made a batch of my Hippie Heaven soap with Patchouli, Sweet Orange and Clove essential oil and a pinch of Patchouli herb. Patchouli has had it ups and downs this past year and it continues to stay up more than down (in price that is). Many love it and many dislike it mainly due to the aromatherapy flashbacks to hippie days past. Amazing oil for skin disorders, it is misunderstood.
Take care,

New Soap!

Here is it. I finally tried it and got it right the first time. It pays to study, research and prepare. The dead sea salt bar has fine dead sea salt in the french green clay first layer. The dead sea mud top has course dead sea salt on it plus a cubed up bar of goat's milk soap. I blended Euchalyptus, Rosemary, Tea Tree and a little squirt of Green Tea fragrance since I added Green tea herbs. Another week to wait for it to cure, patience.

Broome Community College Class is Full

Wow! Must be the cold, dry winter here that has everyone wanting moisturizing soap. A special person is traveling in one hour to learn to make soap for her special son, Michael, currently serving in Irag. So excited to get the school classes started that I'm already packed up! Remember if you need supplies or kits, give me an email at classes@angelicglow.com.

See you soon!
