It feels like forever since I’ve just ‘kicked back’ on a weekend. There’s either been a market, preparation for a market, busy plans, kids parties, adult parties, big nights out partying. Always something. For the past two to almost three months, I just have not stopped. Until this weekend!!

This weekend was ALL about ME!! I dropped the kids off Friday night with their dad, picked up a couple of recent ebay wins, and stopped in to see my best friend. Then it was homeward bound and two days of pumping loud music, soap making, lotion making, house cleaning and general “me” time. It was almost a mini holiday that was LONG overdue. No having to worry about anything but what I wanted to do.

So what does two days of P!NK, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna and ear-drum-bursting volume bring?

LOTS!!!! Xmas Soaps, manly men soaps, and banana (lollie kind) fun soaps. My house smells like a sexy man, eating banana lollies, wrapped under my Xmas tree. It’s a delightfully wicked smell.

The Banana Bugs and Bananasauruses. Sadly, despite having an equal amount of vanilla stabiliser to banana fragrance, they still didn’t stay yellow. Phooey.

The remainder of the banana mixture, including my first log/round soap. It was going to be an embed into a larger round mold that I was going to colour brown, but now I’m not so sure… it didn’t really stay yellow as it was meant to.

My super yummy smelling men’s soap!! This is a custom blend of sandalwood, musks, vanilla and other yummy goodies. The spots on the top is soap ash already, grrr… cosmetic issue only, sort of like men’s stubble.

My Christmas soaps!! MUCH better result with these ones. I soaped cooler as it was the same fragrance blend as the one that accelerated on me last time. This time I chilled my lye mixture after it was done mixing and won! Take that Xmas soaps!! ,,l,

In amongst all the soap making was some lotion making. Unscented and Lavender!! These have come out thinner and are more a body milk consistency than a ‘cream’. Spreads fantastically though, so happy with them.

Overall, it was a fantastic weekend. I probably annoyed the crap out of my neighbours with my music, and off-key singing *blush*, but given I only have it up every second fortnight at most, they can just live with it. A clean house, lots of soap, and relaxing. Can’t really get much better at the moment!!

Now I’m off to cut approximately 70 bars of soap!! Geez I wish I had my tank cutter right now!!
