It amazes me that there is an actual fragrance that smells like dirt. I, mean, actual, potting soil dirt. Call me weird, but I love it! And so do a few other kooks who can&#39;t seem to get enough of it. 
I&#39;ll admit that I&#39;m not brave enough to shower with this one, and I love using it as a kitchen soap.

SURPRISE!!!!



Guess who&#39;s back?! Sorta... I&#39;ve abandoned this blog, and it used to be such a source of joy for me. Storytime:

 

I started this blog and making soap and stuff as a form of self-medication. I was at the lowest point in my life and needed a hobby, a diversion. And it worked! For five or so years, I immersed myself into soaping and blogging and even selling a few things.

It&#39;s soft with a hint of lemon and flowery essence with a buttery-like finish. I never design this soap the same. Come to think of it, I almost never design any of my soap scents the same...This soap is part of a holiday gift set I&#39;m planning. It will be a variety of lemon scents. Pics to come...

&amp;nbsp;I&#39;ve always been curious about African Black Soap. I read on all kinds of forums how wonderful it is for the skin, specifically, problem skin which I was born with it seems, so I decided that I wanted to make some. But when I read how the soap is actually made, I was like &quot;How in the hell am I supposed to do that???&quot; So I gave up....

And decided to make some soap-WOW! This is my first batch in, like, forever...seriously. I&#39;ve decided to make a soap version of my Wake That Ass Up Salt Scrub. I call it Wake That Ass Up Salt Bar. Real original right? Umm, yeah...

The main soap I used is dentritic salt. I really like dendritic because it&#39;s very fine, and it absorbs scent like friggin crazy.

I think that little pity post I gave myself the other day has sparked a fire in my arse! Over the MLK weekend, I cranked out 7, count em, 7 batches of&amp;nbsp; CPOP soap! Three were re-makes and four are new additions. First, I&#39;ll just post pics of the re-makes, then I&#39;ll break the new ones down into their own posts (I need something to talk about...ha ha...)
