Yeah, I've been participating in the challenges for the last three months, and every subsequent month I've been making my soap closer and closer to the deadline :(
The end of the school year is always super busy when you have 4 school aged kids in very different grades, with all their end of the year activities, curricular and not. But this year has been even worse for me because I've been a "de facto" single mum 24/7 for the last 2 months with my husband having gone abroad to work. The last soap I made was actually for the last Amy Warden's challenge so, this time, more than trying a new technique, the aim (and challenge! for me) was to actually MAKE SOME SOAP!!
And I did. Really, the results of it are not what they would have been had I planned it better, made it with more time, etc... but I just wanted to be forced to find some time do what I love: making soap. And I did it!!!
At least I did that much. And the design is not what I dreamt of initially, but the formula is. It turned out the perfect texture, even visually (not properly appreciated in the picture). Also super sudsy and yet very mild. I can forsee that even before it's cure time is over. So... I love my soap. I loved making it, even though I did it in a haste, I loved cutting it, smelling it, taking a picture of it.... it's my soap <3
And so this month I have to be thankful because the challenge pushed me to.... make soap ;)
Oils of olive, coconut (*bio), palm (*bio), shea butter (* bio), first pressed argan oil, palm kernel, sunflower and a tiny bit of beeswax.

Thank you all for sharing your beautiful soaps!!! And see you again next month :) !!!
