Yep, and it's dead sexy *Insert Fat Bastard voice*
7 pounds of coconut (I'll buy 35 next time, I think) 7 of Castor oil, and 1 pound of aloe vera (which isn't a fat, it's a gel, I'm going to play around with using it instead of water with my rebatching). I also got some lavender fragrance oil, some almond, and some oatmeal, milk and honey (which smells amazing. I'm using that one next). They also sent me a free sample of a scent called "Relaxing". I like it, but I'm not madly in love with it. I don't want to have it's little soap babies, but I'll bring it to knitting, and you know me, if I get one strong reaction I'll go for it. (And the sheep is for scale. He's pissy because it's January and he can't get that Santa hat off of his head.)
So, I wanted to celebrate and make soap, but I'm still waiting for those perfect soap molds. They're coming. So I did the next best thing: I bought more stuff for soap. Just fragrance oils, and two molds. I got some eucalyptus EO, and for the fragrance I got Creamsicle, a wine fragrance with berry undertones, spearmint, a light rose, and some smaller bottles that I can try out, some "clean scents" and one called "grass stain".
And when they get the sheep mold back in stock, I'm making another order. This one will be another fat order. I want cocoa butter, but the place I like to use sells it in 1 pound or 55 pound quantities, currently. I may have to look for another provider for my fat, but I love this place for my fragrance. And bags of fat. Solid fat belongs in bags. I can throw that in boiling water, pour out what I need, and put the cap back on. Innovative Fat! That, or Ostentatious Beige is going to be the name of my punk band, when I start it.
I haven't posted a drink for Gina's podcast in a bit, but I found one the other night that I have to share. A link to the drink, I give you the Peppermint Fluff Martini.
All right, I need to get some sleep. Early day tomorrow, as far as Saturdays go. Webs field trip, with a detour to bring us past Wild and Woolly in Lexington. I'm going more for the company than the chance to buy yarn, but I need 47" size 0 addis, and if a niddy noddy follows me home, well, I'll love it like a son.
Yay! I'm so glad you got fat. LOL! Poor sheepie, he does look a little pissed at that hat.
The scents you have planned sound good. Especially Creamsicle.
