Getting over the fear of blogging...

Hmm! Where do I start? Well, lets start from the beginning. Back in January when I first set up this blogspot I just wasn't sure where to start or even how to start. I kept asking myself, what am I suppose to write, how am I suppose to do a blog.  To be honest, I still don't know but what I do know, is that I want to talk about soap.  I enjoy talking about soapmaking.  I think that I enjoy talking about soap just as much as I enjoy making soap.  Soapmaking is awesome, its soothing and relaxing.  To me anyway! Well enough with the small talk.  I think that I might be getting the hang of this. LOL!

What are the methods that I use when making soap? Actually I use various methods, Cold Process (CP), Hot Process (HP), Cold Process Oven Process (CPOP), and Crockpot.  My favorite is the Cold Process method. I love the finish look of CP soap.  You get that smooth clean look.  With CP soap you have to let the soap cure for 4-6 weeks.  The longer you allow the soap to cure the milder and the harder the bar will be.  Then there's also the water discount, but we will talk about that some other time.

I've just figured out what I plan on blogging about.  I'm going to blog about the process in making soap, soaps that I make, and just about anything else involving natural handmade soap.  Are you ready?  I hope so because I'm going to take you on a sweet escape into my world of soapmaking:)
