Experiments!

Look how pretty that candle is! I'm trying a new natural way to color my candles. The ones I made with dye chips are beautiful too, but I'm sure they're synthetic dyes. The photo does not do this candle justice. It looks more peachy than this photo shows. I'm doing a burn test right now and it's burning just fine!

I just poured another experimental candle and I can't wait for it to harden so I can burn it! There's two experiments I did on it at the same time. One was color and the other was fragrance. The color came out the opposite of what I was expecting, but that's okay :) It's still pretty :) I don't know how the fragrance will be. We'll see in about 24 hours!

I also placed ANOTHER order today. Various butters and essential oils :)


I'm also thinking of making another batch of goat's milk soap in a little bit. Freezing the goat's milk definitely helps when adding the lye. The last batch I made, I didn't freeze it, and sure enough! it turned that gross orange color and smelled awful.

Gotta go check on my candle!
