Soap Scents.

Wow, you all had some good ideals.

I have heard and read about male goats. I don't plan on keeping any. They are the reason that a lot of people don't like goat milk. When males are around, the females tend to give "bucky" milk. Well that's what a few books said. When my girls need a boyfriend I will send them out on a long date.

In all my looking around on the net about essential oils I have yet to see any recipes about blending them. I was thinking of some blends. I thought of lemon grass/ basil and Oregon Sunshine gave the ideal of Lime/Coconut, that sound good. But how do you know how much of each scent? I made some bath salts one time and it was trial and error trying to mix the scents.
I would hate to waste a batch of soap. I will keep on searching, there's got to be recipes out there.


This is what I like about blogging. I didn't even think about etsy.com but my blog friend K brought it up. That's a good ideal. And that got me thinking that I probably should also set up a web site.

Some of you mentioned Tea Tree Oil. I'm not sure what that smells like. If I'm thinking about the same thing, I think it has a medicinal smell.? I don't think that I liked it. Isn't that the stuff that got it's start over in Australia and became real popular as a wonder product? But then I guess it's not about what scents that I like! I need to think about what other people like.


For now I think that my floral scents will be Rose, Lavender and Sweet pea.
I like that ideal of some fruit scents so I think that I will go with Sweet Orange, something and something. I will have to think of two more.
The spice scents will be Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and Patchouli. ( I think Ylang Ylang is a warm scent? Not sure )
That will be nine scents. Once I get confidant with making soap I think then I will branch out and try others and blending scents. I need to realizes that I don't have to make 100 different types right now. I need to see what sells and also what people ask for.

On the peppermint scent. I bought a bar of that and lets just say that it was way, waaaay to refreshing in places that you don't want that kind of refreshment! I'm afraid of that one.

Now the big question. Do I name the scents or just call them what they are? I see names like "Sunshine blast" and it's a citrus scent. Or "Fisherman's friend" and it's an Anise scent ( Which I like). I'm leaning towards just calling them what they are.

I need to come up with garlic and rosemary scented soap and call it "Lamb dinner" Am I sick or what?
