Soaping time

Yesterday,I finally got some soap done.  I only make soap for us and to give as gifts.  I made one batch of cold-processed Pure Soap.  This is made of only coconut oil.  It's the soap I use for cleaners and laundry soap.  I also made one batch of hot-processed soap-coffee soap.  Coffee is supposed to get rid of odors like onion, so I'm hoping the soap is going to work as a deoderant soap.



The white is the Pure Soap and the brown is Coffee Soap.  The hot processed soap is ready to use in about three days the other will have to age for about three weeks.


I've still got barn chores to do.  I know, I know its almost 9:00, but the windchill is still -45 out there.  I have help today-the two olders don't have school because of the weather, so we should get twice as much done today.


Have a blessed day.

The soaps look and sound very nice. I would have never thought of coffee though!!! I hope it works!


If it is that cold outside, I don't blame you for wanting to stay in where it is warm and cozy!! LOL

I would love to have your pure soap recipe if you wouldn't mind. I am just starting to collect all of my supplies and getting ready to make soap for the first time.
