The Lather Project: Soap Updates

I wanted to do an update on a few of The Lather Project Soaps, since they’ve had some time to ‘sit’ now for a few weeks.

If you recall, there were a few soaps that used fragrance oils that I knew would ‘morph’ a bit - change the color of the soap. Many fragrance oils with a vanilla scent base will do this - and I used several of them during The Project. There are color stabilizers and non-discoloring fragrance oils, but I prefer to use some ingenuity in combating this issue. I used layering, blind swirls and a few other techniques to actually take advantage of the discoloring and try to create a pretty bar of soap.

Amber Vanilla Shampoo Bar (Soap #15) is one that I knew would discolor over time, and I tried some layering that wouldn’t be visible for a week or so, so I didn’t post photos then - but here they are now! This is one of the prettiest bars - although not the best layering job - with the cream and browns. And I love that the coloring is all completely natural!


Another one was Soap #10 - Lemon Poppyseed. With this one, I had split the raw soap into two batches, coloring one with a little yellow oxide and adding the poppy seeds - but no fragrance oil - therefore no discoloring. I then added the fragrance oil only to the second half of the soap base, after removing about 2 tablespoons of raw soap. Then I swirled in the leftover 2 tablespoons - since this soap has no fragrance oil either and won’t darken. I had hoped I’d get a beautiful brown & cream swirled bottom half with a yellow-poppy seed top half - but it didn‘t quite darken as ‘brown‘ as I‘d expected.

And the last one with a big change is my Botanical-Infused Lavender Vanilla (Soap #6)! The Vanilla half turned a beautiful deep brown and created a really interesting-looking bar! And it smells soooo delicious…

Overall, I’m quite pleased with all The Lather Project soaps - even the ones that didn’t turn out exactly as I’d anticipated! But that’s all part of the fun!

Things I Learned During The Lather Project

I learned so much during The Lather Project: 30 Soaps in 30 Days - mostly things about myself that I had never really thought about before, but a few other things as well. So I figured that - in a moment of self-revelation - I’d post a few here:

1. I have the most understanding, supportive and loving husband in the world.
2. Necessity breeds creativity - requiring a new soap every 24 hours for a month sparked tons of ideas that I might never have come up with otherwise
3. I love writing - almost as much as creating
4. I really can take a decent product photo!
5. Forcing myself to be creative and produce something new every single day allowed me to discover that I can be a resourceful, inventive and imaginative person
6. Inspiration comes from everyone and everything - I’ve opened my eyes and gained new insight into just about all that exists
7. Experimentation is the mother of invention - not necessity (see #2)
8. I can be a success at time management - I don’t have to let it overpower me and surrender to it
9. I am surprisingly much more organized than I’ve ever given myself credit for
10. Procrastination is the devil’s handiwork - and will lead you down the wrong path every time
11. Murphy’s Law applies to everything - especially when it comes to scalding hot oils and caustic lye
12. Some stuff that smells incredibly awesome just plain stinks when added to soap
13. Apparently, I will never get tired of or bored with making soap - ever
14. Perfect strangers are wonderfully willing to encourage, support, cheer on and wish luck on a project that you truly believe in
15. I have a lot more stamina, resilience and determination than I ever thought I had - my own stick-to-it-iveness and never-give-up attitude sincerely astounded me
16. I genuinely love a challenge! And I honestly enjoy pushing myself to do more - and do it better
17. I get a sense of pride and much more satisfaction out of my little indie business than I’ve ever gotten from working for someone else
18. Failure builds character and success builds self-esteem - it’s a win-win situation
19. Did I already mention that I have the most appreciative, accepting, encouraging and devoted husband in the whole-wide-world?
20. I would do it all over again - any day!

I looked forward to each and every new batch as if it were my very first time making soap. And my own wide-eyed wonder at sniffing, slicing and testing each new soap came as a total and complete surprise.

I want to keep this incredible child-like fascination and amazement when it comes to my craft throughout my entire life. And I sincerely believe the secret to it is to keep creating, designing and inventing, continue experimenting and testing and trying new things and definitely keep challenging myself on a daily basis.

I’m now completely & fully stocked with all my regular soaps and have dozens of new soaps to offer to my customers and in my shops!

The Lather Project: 30 Soaps in 30 Days - Giveaway Winners!

Day 30 - the last Day of The Lather Project. And I am a bit sad…

I’ll be posting Soap #30 a bit later on, but I thought I’d go ahead and announce the Winners of The Lather Project Giveaway first.

I received almost 300 entries in the Giveaway (293, to be exact!) - and thank you to everyone who was kind enough to post a comment, blog about The Lather Project, follow me on Twitter, rate my Squidoo lenses, request Bellissima mineral makeup samples and Twitter about the Giveaway!

For anyone curious as to how I kept track of all the entries - I admit I had some help!

Did you know that TweetLater provides a great Twitter Service, alerting me with an email anytime I have a new follower, receive a direct message and especially useful for my Giveaway - provide me with a list of keyword alerts. I set up alerts so that any time a keyword is used on Twitter - such as ‘Bellissima’ and ‘Lather Project’, I’m notified.

This keyword alert is very similar to another service I use - Google Alerts. But Google will notify me of the use of any of my keywords across the entire web - blog posts, website references, online newspaper articles, and more.

These services helped me track all the entries, but I don’t trust that they catch absolutely everything, so I’m thrilled that most were kind enough to post links to their Tweets and blog entries!

Oh - and each comment, tweet, blog entry, etc. was assigned a number, and I used a true random number generator to choose the Winners! The numbers were: 211, 280, 92, 52, 259, 167

This is such an exhilarating soap!

Peppermint tea provides wonderful antioxidants, crushed dried mint allows for gentle exfoliation and peppermint essential oil offers a scent to awaken the senses! This is a super soap for those who are definitely not morning-people! Better than a 2nd cuppa coffee!

Peppermint oil contains numerous minerals and nutrients including manganese, iron, magnesium, calcium, folate, potassium, and copper. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Peppermint is believed to help relieve symptoms of allergies and asthma, aid in relieving nausea, headache and stress, as well as reduce muscle spasms. And it may nourish dull skin and improve oily skin.

So, here’s the description for Soap #28:

Today’s soap is another inventory replenishment - well, restocking was one of the basic reasons I started The Lather Project, after all!

And it’s Blackberry & Hibiscus Blossom!

Hibiscus flowers and seeds have always been an important ingredient in Chinese herbal medicine and recently has been popularized by Ayurvedic

practices in India. One common belief is that the flowers and leaves contain many properties that benefit hair and scalp and help in the treatment of dandruff and hair loss. It is also believed to help restore the normal acid-alkaline balance of the skin and scalp and help in the elimination of toxins.

Hibiscus blossoms have been used in cosmetic formulations for years due to it’s high content of alpha-hydroxy and amino acids. And its anti-oxidant and exfoliating properties are ideal for soap!

So here’s the description for Soap #27:

Bellissima Handmade Botanical-Infused Blackberry & Hibiscus Soap

Our line of Botanical Infused Bath Bars are a special treat for your skin - infusing teas, flowers, plants and herbs in oils or water and adding it to soap not only imparts the amazing benefits to the soap, but also allows for the most nutrients and enrichment possible from the botanicals!

Our amazing Blackberry & Hibiscus Botanical Infused Bath Bar is enriched with luxurious oils to nurture your skin and real Hibiscus flowers to gently exfoliate and leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. Bathe in fruity scent of blackberries and the sweet tropical florals for a fabulous, spa-quality experience!

The Lather Project: 30 Soaps in 30 Days - Day 26, Soap 26

Day #26!

I wanted to try something creatively different and totally cool!

Don’t forget to enter our Lather Project Soap Giveaway! 3 fabulous Soapy Prizes and lots of easy ways to enter and WIN! http://bellissimasblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/lather-project-soap-giveaway.html

Hot-process soap can be a real bear to work with when it comes to design. The consistency of the raw soap is… well, ‘gloppy‘.

Remember the kid’s gimmicky toy (if you could call it that) ‘Slime’ from back in the ‘70‘s & ‘80‘s? It came in a little garbage bucket and it was basically green goop - it was gross, smelled funny and had virtually no purpose whatsoever. I was trying to explain it last night to my 10 year old step-daughter after a trip to Cracker Barrel Restaurant. My husband and I were reminiscing about all the retro toys and candy they had for sale and Slime just came up.

Well, anyway, raw soap is kind of the consistency of Slime - but really hot!

So it’s pretty difficult to work with, and once it starts to cool off and you add fragrance and colorants, it begins to harden into more of a play-dough texture. So you can imagine how tricky it is to try and get it into a mold and then have it come out looking gorgeous!

Well, I wanted to try to represent sort of a floral bouquet - pinks, yellows, purples and greens - since the fragrance I blended is Flowers & Ferns. It kind of ended up looking more like scooped sherbet, but I’m okay with that! It was fun!

Here’s the description for Soap #26:

Bellissima Handmade Triple Milk Blend Bath Soap in Flowers & Ferns

Our amazing Triple Milk Blend Soap in Flowers & Ferns is incredibly creamy and full of lather with our triple blend of protein-rich milk (goat, cow & organic coconut) and luxurious all-veggie oils like olive, high-oleic sunflower seed and rice bran to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated.

Flowers & Ferns delivers a bouquet of sweet, bright flowers and earthy, herbal greens. Morning Lily, Jasmine, Geranium, Hyacinth and Violet blend beautifully with green mosses, clover, rosemary, patchouli and cedar. A touch of zesty lemon adds an element of surprise to this clean, floral, ultimately fresh scent!

Soap #25 is another cut and dry case of inventory replenishment.

And calendula is one of the very best botanicals, in my opinion, in soap. Did you know that calendula is better known by it’s more common name: Marigold?

Calendula flowers have been used on injuries to reduce inflammation and as an antiseptic against infection. It has also been used as a remedy for a variety of skin problems ranging from skin ulcerations to eczema. It provides one of its greatest benefits in relieving eruptive skin disorders such as shingles, a viral infection. It’s considered by many to be an effective detoxifying herb that can help with the toxicity associated many severe fevers and infections.

Calendula may also be helpful in healing minor skin wounds and sunburns.

Research continues as I write, but I don’t need a scientist to tell me how good it feels on the skin!

So here’s the description for Soap #25:

Bellissima Handmade Botanical-Infused Cucumber & Calendula Bath Soap

Our line of Botanical Infused Bath Bars are a special treat for your skin - infusing teas, flowers, plants and herbs in oils or water and adding it to soap not only imparts the amazing benefits to the soap, but also allows for the most nutrients and enrichment possible from the botanicals!

Growing up, we had lots of fruit trees in our backyard - peaches, apples, even red grapes!

This was amazing to us, since our house sat right on the water - a little inlet off Narragansett Bay named Warwick Cove (and my Mom‘s still there). We always thought our land would be too highly saturated with salt water to sustain much growth, but we had lots of trees, bushes, flowers, plenty of weeds and our gardens usually did pretty well.

The biggest and the best fruit tree we had, though, was a huge wild blackberry bush! We‘d be so excited as we would check and check to see if they were ripe yet! And when they finally were, it somehow always caught us by surprise, so we’d stretch the bottom of our t-shirts out, making a cotton ‘bowl’ out of it and fill it with as many juicy berries as we could possibly fit!

Of course, the problem with this method of berry-picking was the big purple stains that inevitably covered our fingers - and the front our T-Shirts! We didn’t care, but my Mom would give a big groan and then an even bigger sigh when she saw us coming in the house with the first blackberries of the season!

And it was worth the scolding - they smelled and tasted delicious! So I’ve chosen Blackberry Grapefruit for the scent for Soap #24.

And here’s the description:

Bellissima Triple Milk Blend Soap in Blackberry Grapefruit

Our amazing Triple Milk Blend Soap in Blackberry Grapefruit is incredibly creamy and full of lather with our triple blend of protein-rich milk (goat, cow & coconut) and luxurious all-veggie oils like olive, high-oleic sunflower seed and rice bran to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated.

Blackberry Grapefruit delivers the aroma of tart wild blackberries and tangy grapefruit - and that’s just the beginning of this wonderfully complex fragrance! Sweet mint, herbal sage, citrus-y lemon, fresh greens, spicy vanilla and tropical floral notes elevate this to a most sophisticated, fruity fragrance!
