<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the moment, layering makes my heart sing. I am enjoying working with four balanced colours, layering them in random order for a delicious and decadent look. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apricot & Buttermilk, being one of The Body Bar's favourite, enchants everyone and I am constantly making more of it. This sweet, fruity and tangy fragrance is wholesome and soooooooooo decadent. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to redesign it and layer it as a "trifle." Here it is:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last 3 weeks of my life have been "out of the box," exhilarating and terrifying. Within the chaos, I experienced a creativity expansion and a desire to explore some new soap making techniques. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Somehow, when I grow as a person, I tend to celebrate that growth by physically doing things to anchor that expansion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A delicious blend of punchy Orange and decadent Vanilla in a dancing pattern. It smells gorgeous and looks inviting. It is my first time experimenting with this technique and I am so pleased with the results. Here are some pictures:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who doesn't love a massage? I just love them. It is so relaxing and pampering. Whether it be a back, shoulder and neck massage, a foot massage or a full body massage, I love it all. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To enhance this experience, The Body Bar presents a range of "Melting Moments Massage Candles." A candle made using Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Beeswax and some lavish vegetable oils. So delicious!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They come in 4 enticing fragrances:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. The Body Bar's Favourite- <b>Apricot Biscotti: </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An irresistible touch of delicious, tangy, ripe Apricot and creamy Buttermilk immersed in sweet and decadent vanilla pod.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. <b>Mandarine & Yuzu: </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This fragrance opens with a refreshing burst of sweet mandarin and exotic yuzu, intermingled with touches of unripened grapefruit, lemon and orange peel. All this is enhanced by a light floral blend of lily, rose, orange flower and gardenia, while in the background, notes of woody amber, sandal and blackberry leaf emerge.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. <b>Ginger & Lime: </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A refreshing blend of dynamic and punchy Lime harmonised by a slither of comforting warm Ginger.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This hypnotic scent has a sweet and dynamic "Bergamot" top note. Then, this develops into a fresher middle note of "Neroli", citrussy and sweet yet rounded and "Jasmine" like. Finally, the base note is deep and rich "Vanilla" with a hint of musky and spicy "Sandalwood".</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Light the candle for about 20 minutes, blow it out and pour the melted oils on your body (it won't burn) and start you sensual massage. Leave the oils on your body overnight for the ultimate skin pamper. It will soften, nourish and moisturise your skin deeply. So delicious!!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are some timeless colour combinations that are so harmonious and well balanced. Black and White is one of them. I just love the sophisticated look... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to make a unisex soap last week. Most of my range is designed for women but I like to have a couple of soaps that are unisex. It is surprising how many men secretly care about their skin. They deserve beautiful soap to. This one is scented with "Mandarine & Yuzu." Two wonderful citrus scents to lighten up, freshen up and add some punch to the morning routine. Perfect to translate into this glorious Spring. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a soap maker, there is one thing that I absolutely love. It is cutting each and every bar the day after I made the soap. As you can see, each bar of soap ends up looking different even though they come from the same soap log. There is something magical about seeing each and every bar revealed as a piece of art. The beauty in these soaps is that as you use them, they keep on changing and revealing new patterns. How awesome is that?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This has to be one of my favourite soaps. I've been wanting to top one of my soaps with curls for ages and just didn't have the right tool to make them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just LOOOOOOOOOVE the way the curls finish off the look and give the most exciting texture to the soap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This soap is scented with a sweet and decadent "Chocolate and Vanilla." To add a hint of luxury, I introduced a drop of "Orange" to it. Who doesn't like Orange Chocolate? It is clean, flavoursome and more-ish!!! Mmmmmmmmm... </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think it is about time I introduce you to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">LITTLE</span> love in my life.<span> </span>My loyal “dog being”.<span> </span>I know this blog focuses on my natural
gourmet cosmetics journey but it seems absolutely absurd that she hasn’t
featured here yet since she is the little one that keeps me growing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year, after 5 looooooooooooong years of waiting, I got “Missy.”<span> </span>A black and tan Miniature Dachshund.<span> </span>I just wanted a little dog to share loads of
love with.<span> </span>One that would cuddle on my
lap and be cute.<span> </span>Little did I know that this
little puppy was so brilliant.<span> </span>It is my
first dog and I didn’t even know how to teach her to sit.<span> </span>So curious and excited, “Google” became my
best friend on the journey to train my little snoopy the manners I deemed
necessary.<span> </span>It started as a fun in the
sun process and I spent hours in the garden taking pictures, running, chasing
and training.<span> </span>I understood the principle
of reward (It works!!!) and armed with food, I began to teach my little black
dog some obedience.<span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8 weeks down the line, Missy sits, lies down, high fives and
gives the paw.<span> </span>Faced with so much
potential, I look to take it further and I am introduced to the “<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Canine</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>:”
A dog training school in my area.<span> </span>So,
off I go and I register at the academy.<span>
</span>Training at home had got us up on the right foot/paw, but something was
missing.<span> </span>She needed to be socialized and
make friends.<span> </span>I can’t believe the
complexity of “dog culture.”<span> </span>I thought I
was taking my dog to training.<span> </span>Turned
out, I was the one who needed to learn…<span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Academy is so much fun.<span>
</span>With various breeds of dogs, socializing there is a full and wholesome
experience for the pups but also for the owners.<span> </span>I have learned so much about other breeds and
their personalities.<span> </span>From German
shepherds to Jack Russells and everything in between, the training is rich and
diverse.<span> </span>Lots of children accompany
their parents as well, making the training interesting and versatile.<span> </span>They teach children how to approach dogs safely;
encourage interactions between dogs and children and show how to do it all safely.<span> </span>They make a point of teaching all the “rules”
that make great dog owners and pack leaders.<span>
</span>With a team of exceptional trainers, each session is unique, fun and
successful.<span> </span>Some make small steps whilst
others make big ones and at the end of the session everyone is a step closer to
success.<span> </span>What I love about the “<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Canine</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype></st1:place>”
is that it is driven with passion and that everyone is part of one big family.<span> </span><span> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Week after week, progress after progress, I am ecstatic to
see that Missy and I make a fantastic pair…<span>
</span>6 months in Puppy Obedience training and my “Child” earns her very first
ribbon for being the most improved dog of the year in the puppy section
(Mommy’s so proud!!!)<span> </span>She then moves
into the next level and let me tell you, she absolutely adores going
there.<span> </span>I can’t believe how much she
understands.<span> </span>She knows when it is
Saturday and when we are going to school.<span>
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The meaning of “dog” has been redefined in my life.<span> </span>Missy is not just the cuddly, cute little dog
I got her for in the first place.<span> </span>There
is a “dog culture" that is different to ours and bridging the gap between
our languages harmonises our relationship.<span>
</span>It’s like men and women, we speak the same language but we somehow
manage to communicate differently.<span> </span>It is
all about bridging the gap.<span> </span>If you have
a little “devil” at home perhaps you just don’t speak the same language, and if
you can’t communicate, how can you enrich your relationship?<span> </span>Some say, the breed is the problem, some say,
the owner is the problem.<span> </span>I think that
it all boils down to a communication issue and we as human beings are equipped
with the ability to understand and act in accordance in order to create the
result we want.<span> </span>It is therefore our
responsibility to bridge the gap if we decide to own a dog.<span> </span>And why not have fun whilst we’re at it?<span> </span>I say, come and join us at the <st1:placename w:st="on">Canine</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype>
every Saturday from 1:30pm-2:30pm at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Pinetown</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Junior</st1:placename>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This week, I set myself a little challenge. I’ve been wanting to make my own lip balm for
some time now and I just haven’t made the time for it. So I decided, no more procrastination and
more pro-activeness. In order to
manifest the best lip balm, I needed to sit down and think about what I wanted
it to feel like and also what I didn’t want it to feel like. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Summary:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. It want it to be natural.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. I didn’t want a thick, hard lip balm that takes ages to
melt and apply. That said, it mustn’t
melt too fast either.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Then, I wanted a balm, not a gloss or anything in
between. A gloss somehow comes off too
fast and isn’t pampering enough.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. It also needs to last long on the lips (no point in a lip
balm that has to be applied every half an hour.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Last but not least, the lip balm must not leave white
patches on the lips as you apply it over and over again throughout the day (Of
course you never see the white ghosty lips until you walk past the mirror and
think “Who the f*** is that?” It’s
me!!!!!!!!!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. Oh! And I also wanted it to taste nice</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In any case, I formulated a recipe with various oils,
butters and waxes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recipe number 1. First
test results: too oily and glossy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back to the drawing board. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recipe number 2. Test
results, my lips had white patches, CRISIS!!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do like failed tests as I then know what not to do. If I get it rightish first time, I don’t
learn and I am bound to making the mistake later anyway… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back to the drawing board.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recipe number 3. Test
results, BINGO!!! It is easy to apply,
isn’t glossy, lasts hours on the lips and just to double check, I applied it
every half hour for the past 5 hours and I have not a single white
speckle. YAY!!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, the overachiever in me kicks in. I now have the lip balm, but what’s the
purpose of it if I don’t have a lip scrub, seriously? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I must say, the first time I saw a lip scrub, I thought “why
on earth would one need to scrub lips?”
I am very curious by nature, so off I went and checked for myself before
eradicating lip scrubs from my vocabulary and BAM!!! It is the best thing since sliced bread… Oh my!!! My lips never felt like that before,
so worth it!!! I was hooked, so now I
had to make one of them to match my dream lip balm… Off I went, listed all the important things I
wanted my scrub to be (this time I focused on all I wanted, not what I didn’t
want as I seemed to manifest all the NOTs in the lip balm tests.) Positive and excited recipe 1 was a major
success. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, I needed to find packaging… I am NOT a fan of lip balm tubs. In fact, I hate them… It starts off a love story and as the tub
gets emptier and emptier, lip balm finds its way under my nails and the once
smooth and beautiful lip balm is full of uneven nail marks and my fingers are
dirty. It is clearly not for me. I opted for a bottom twist tube. I also chose the same tube for the lip scrub
as it is neat, easy to use and carry around.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that I have taken care of my sexy pout, my lips are
soft, smooth and moisturized. In fact
picture perfect without photoshop!!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here they are:</span></div>

I've been wanting to add some more colour and shape to these body delicacies... I am not a chef on the best of days so this whole piping bag, nozzles and decorations thing is new to me (You should have seen me the first time trying to get the first cupcake topping in place, hilarious!!!) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In any case, I now balance the bag, pressure and movement to a T and of course, when that happens, it is time to deepen and experiment. With the star nozzle, it is easy to manage as it will always look good-ish but I wanted the round nozzle, which leaves little room for error. It is smooth and shows all the bits and pieces. So , I bought a round nozzle (took me ages to choose, I wasn't too sure which size was adequate for the cupcakes.) I also bought cute little flowers and shimmering balls to match the concepts I had in mind.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course, then the nozzle has to match the story of the cupcake, a star nozzle works wonders with florals (in my mind, that is) and the round nozzle matches sweet, decadent fragrances... I just can't conceive in my head a delicate Neroli fragrance using the round nozzle... To cut a long story short, I decided to do Neroli Cupcakes with a star nozzle, glitter, cute little orange flowers and a couple of shimmering balls and Apricot Biscotti Cupcakes with a round nozzle, glitter and shimmering balls. The round nozzle turned out soooooooooooo gorgeous, I kept some without the balls. Here they are:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I am so excited to share this soap with you. One, that I did last week and fell in love with the moment I even thought about it. Using a whole new technique, I imagined this soap and designed it and all went out the window when I actually did it because of my last minute ability to second guess myself. All for the better, I must say. Things happen for a reason and this time, I chose to go with the flow. I am overjoyed with the results. This is definitely one technique I will explore further and immerse myself in its endless possibilities. It was one of the soaps I had the most fun making. So beautiful!!! Every time I walked past it, I had to look again and again. Oh! and smell again and again..</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Scented with The Body Bar's magical and memorable "Dates and Exotic Woods."

Isn't that just so romantic?</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It truly is a magical fragrance and I wanted to interpret it with perfection. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A burst of colour here and there and here it is:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Lightning up the scents and bringing in a burst of colour. There is a scent that I LOOOOOOOOVE and it is Neroli. So delicate, yet so captivating. A lovely combination of citrus and floral, which layers so well. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not a huge fan of florals or citrus but I have to recognise that Neroli falls in a box of its own. I really battle with herbal types of smell and most floral lean on the herbal end of my nose chart, which generally leave me flat and unappreciative but not Neroli. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In any case, I am in a layered mood at the moment and layering a Neroli soap felt like the thing to do and for some obscure reason, Neroli works with orange in my mind, so Orange it is:</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The smell is just Wow. I had a customer the other day that bought a slice of Neroli soap. Two hours later, she came back and bought the rest of the Neroli Soaps I had available at the time. She was so excited that the scent had stayed on her hand for this entire time, that she had to have them all.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I must say, I am now a fan of Neroli and I haven't had the opportunity to shower with one of the Neroli soaps I have made, they just walk off the table.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just love the Orange of this soap as it encapsulates the scent of Neroli exactly as I see it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I always try to keep a lemongrass range in my soap collections because it truly is one of the favourites. The moment I add it to my table at markets, it goes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I must say, even I, who love very sweet blends, love lemongrass.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Useless to say (but I will anyway), I had to redesign this soap. I just got some new colours and I've always wanted to add some green to the lemongrass soaps as it fits perfectly with the look, smell and obviously honors the colour of this beautiful and delicate plant.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lemongrass in itself, has a layered combination of scents that blend into each other to deliver a fresh, citrussy and wholesome blend. Therefore, I wanted this soap layered and patterned to mirror the smell of the essential oil. Using the green colour, cocoa powder, Rhassoul Clay and titanium dioxide, the colours are soooooooo smooth and clean. Here it is: </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With lots of Olive Oil, this soap is moisturising and nourishing for the skin. Also with Coconut and Palm Oil, it delivers abundant lather and cleans deeply. The scent is enhanced in hot water and will disperse in your bathroom to keep it smelling fresh and clean. It is also the perfect unisex soap...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This has to be one of my favourites.

The first soap I made was a cinnamon and orange soap. This blend of citrus and sweet spice is a favourite and deserves to be. So simple and straight forward, yet soooooooooooo delicious and enticing. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using a technique I used before, I decided to experiment with perspective and use the technique differently (I have this thing about doing the same thing again-I just cannot do it!!!) I have to change something along the line and with soap, one small change, delivers a very different outcome which makes the process so exciting. Imagining all my soaps looking the same is tedious, boring and unnecessary since it is possible to be creative and unpredictable... I even surprise myself which is what growth is all about...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This soap is just gorgeous. Not only a pretty face, it will also moisturise and nourish your skin wth its high Olive Oil content.

I made it last week as I LOOOOOOOOVE the fragrance and my last batch was sold out before I could use one and enjoy this warm and enticing scent in my own shower... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a limited edition fragrance I purchased last year and I know that it will run out one day with no hope of finding it again, so I cherish every drop and make the best I can with it... It feels kind of like having silver cutlery and crystal glasses one will use only for fancy diner parties. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In any case, this fragrance causes me to design my soap carefully (no mistakes allowed with such a unique, limited and precious liquid). I love the layered look for this fragrance as it is such a blast of layered scents. Warm and fruity at first, then sweet and spicy and finally fresh and clean. Tropical and enticing, it covers it all and this is why everyone has loved it so far. Those that don't like sweet fragrances have loved it and those that don't like fresh fragrances to. Floral lovers as well have loved it... Anyway, it is just AMAZING... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I layered it using Rhassoul Clay and Cocoa Powder and of course sprinkled some sparklies on top (it is special, remember!!!) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here it is:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Some days, I experiment with complex techniques and other days, simplicity rocks my boat. I love, when I look at my curing soaps, to see a variety of looks and feels. If all of them are complex and colourful, it actually looks disgraceful. I like to keep a balance between the look and feel of the overall range I have at any given time. Having made primarily complex soaps for the last couple of months, I craved simplicity. Not only in look, but in the soap making itself. In doing that, I created a complex blend of fragrances for the soap in order to match its story. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is no secret by now that Nougat is one of my favourite things on earth after chocolate, of course, which is why I created the Nougat Mosaic... See, all my nougat bars before, looked like nougat but the smell didn't really. My challenge here, was to blend a couple of fragrances I have to match the smell of delicious honey and nuts. It had to be sweet and nutty with a fruity note, so I blended our decadent caramel with vanilla and hazelnut to create the sweet and nutty aspect of the smell and I added some orange essential oil to the sweet and tangy apricot and buttermilk for the fruity note. It is simply divine !!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Nice one!!! Anyway, today is about Mineral Spa Soaps. Being a soapmaker, I have made all sorts of soaps but mineral spa soaps remain one of my personal favourites. I think that my fascination with them lies in the reality that they are more than just a soap. Let me explain! Mineral Spa Soaps are made with sea salts which are high in minerals. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I lived on an island for 19 years and my skin always had benefits I didn't even know about until I moved further from the sea. Sea salt, being high in minerals, naturally nourishes the skin, leaving a sense of well being and comfort. High in minerals such as magnesium, zinc, calcium, potassium and iodine, among others, salts offer therapeutic properties that are essential for the health of the skin. Adding sea salts to soap is a way of transferring these properties onto the skin as the skin absorbs what it comes in contact with. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sea salt tones, cleanses and detoxes by drawing toxins out of the skin, leaving it feeling rejuvenated, healthy and clean. This is why mineral spa soaps are more than just soaps, they deliver cleanliness but also nourish and detox the skin. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made 3 batches of these gorgeous soaps on Monday. The first one is scented with our fruity and enticing "Cranberry" in which I added some glitter (which of course you cannot see in the pictures). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next one is scented with our fresh and dynamic "Lemongrass" essential oil. I also added some green clay to this soap as it enhances the detoxing effect of the soap. Clay, when wet, naturally draws toxins from the pores, leaving the skin soft, clean and detoxed.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, the third soap is scented with our punchy and citrussy "Mandarine & Yuzu." Also with red and yellow clay for an enhanced detox. Here they are:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Keeping up with the blog is becoming a luxury and I miss it soooooo much. So much is happening so fast, I don't even have time to take pictures and spill my heart out. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In any case, I am not giving up and here is my latest batch of delicious fizzy cupcakes. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I designed a new formula using Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter in the cream. Deeply moisturising and nourishing for the skin, these cupcakes will cleanse, detox and feed the skin to keep it soft, smooth and healthy. Scented with our precious Apricot and Buttermilk with a hint of tangy Cranberry, these are decadently yummy. I also enhanced the packaging to facilitate their travel ability. Little polka dot space ships for the gourmet cupcakes and they are ready to fly !!!</span></div><br />

No pretty pictures, and stories about products, just thank you!!! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you know, I've been at the House and Garden show for the past 10 days. It was my very first show and I was soooooooooooo excited to be part of it. Preparing months in advance and carefully planning "The Body Bar" Launch with blinkers the size of an elephant stuck on the sides my head. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10 days later, my elephants are in the park and I can see... Woooooooooooooow, what an experience. I met such amazing artists there. I was going to say people, but they are not just people in my eyes now, they're friends. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.stainedglasssouthafrica.co.za/">Glasshoppers </a>with a phenomenal passion for glass were my fabulous neighbours at the show. Do yourself a favour and visit their <a href="http://www.stainedglasssouthafrica.co.za/">website</a>. Jen and Wally are so creative and form the perfect team. Full of life and humour, they made the 10 days unpredictable, fun and friendly. Thank you Jen and Wally for this funtabulous week.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sam from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Whats-Cutting/111046972318016">What's Cutting</a> was our neighbour to. With her incredible laser cut birds, words and trees, she does it all with grace. It amazed me to meet all these crafters, all passionate about their art. Sam is fun, dynamic and full of life. Check her <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Whats-Cutting/111046972318016">facebook page</a> to see the treasures she makes.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next to us was also Shireen from <a href="http://www.mendhi4u.blogspot.com/">Mendhi 4 U</a>. The most amazing mendhi art I've seen before. As a family, they support each other and are loads of fun and laughter. Check their <a href="http://www.mendhi4u.blogspot.com/">blog </a>to see the beautiful detailed work they do with mendhi. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gosh, there were sooooooooo many more fantastic treasures at the show, I cannot describe them all. All I know, is that I feel blessed to have met them all and shared this wonderful 10 days with them. Each individual has something unique and special to share which made the experience diverse, exciting and homely. Each personality added humongous value and formed part of the richness there is to find in Durban. So thank you all for enriching my experience of the show and I hope to see you all soon. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for The Body Bar, I am at a loss for words. A glorious launch, an amazing response, endless compliments and a deep sense of gratitude and satisfaction. I am filled with inspiration, creativity and passion. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you all again for this enriching and delightful experience.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ox Sarah xo </span></div>The Body Barhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17277976795492080762noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012932941744264078.post-68192678750539021192011-06-23T00:46:00.000-07:002011-06-23T00:46:49.184-07:00Finally set up and ready to Rock @ The House and Garden Show<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good Morning Everyone,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First I would like to apologise for the lack of posts last week.

We want you to learn the "Behind the scenes" of our range. Of course, you will not see the actual product being made as this is already done and logistically requires a lot more but you still get to design your own final product. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I mean, they are cute, precious and are used as artistic media. I love them deeply and I've always wanted to make some. You have to know that I am no cook. I burn, over salt and the only thing you can expect when I cook is chaos, so I am not going to bake cupcakes. Soap cupcakes? Such a novel idea but a bit impractical, I find. They are shaped to be short lasting and savoured and soap lasts long and melts slowly. What was once a delightful cupcake is now a distorted soap, NOT!!!! So I decided to create a bath DUO in the shape of a cupcake. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We all know that fizzy bath butter bombs are fun and pamper the skin by detoxing, cleansing and moisturising it. So why not a cupcake detox??? Sounds good to me... So I created the base of my cupcakes using my fizzy bath butter bombs formula and yes, the cupcake fizzes, Yum!!! Then the icing (the most important part of the cupcake if you want my opinion.) The cupcake is built to carry the icing around, one can't just eat the icing. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So the icing is the perfect bath melt. A bath melt is a product designed to add extra moisture in a bath. It does so by mixing with the water and creating a gentle milk that in turn, moisturises the skin and leaves it feeling soft, smooth and silky. The 2 products together are the ultimate winter pamper for the skin as they will detox the skin and replenish its natural moisture. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course I had to add some glitter to it as well as some sugar flowers and beads to make them irresistible. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Scented with our rich, creamy, sweet and exotic Vanilla, these cupcakes are decadently deliciously fabulous. Here they are:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I am planning to do some more cupcakes for the show to add some variety to the range. I am not yet sure what I will make, maybe chocolate praline, red berry nougat, strawberry, will see... What is your favourite cupcake??

I receive catalogues, full of sensational fragrances but no samples, so I have to choose from the description I am given and this one was special. This is the catalogue's description:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> "This fragrance opens with a refreshing burst of sweet mandarin and exotic yuzu, intermingled with touches of unripened grapefruit, lemon and orange peel. All this is enhanced by a light floral blend of lily, rose, orange flower and gardenia, while in the background, notes of woody amber, sandal and blackberry leaf emerge." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, so all my senses say "Yes" and gosh, it is divine... It is very fresh and fruity with a citrus punch that translate into a fun and vibrant scent. That said, I wanted to represent it as such, so off to the drawing board and here are the results: </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
