Soaps from last week

2015-02-17T06:20:00.000-05:00

Soap week in review: To the left is Hint of Gardenia. The scent is not that pleasing out of the bottle, but in the soap, it is very light. Reminds me of the Yardley Soap my Grandma gave us to use when we were younger.

At the top is Coral Sands. It you love Pink Grapefruit you will love this smell. Citrus and Sweet at the same time.

At the bottom right is Blue Hawaiian. Named after the scent used, but it takes fruity to the maximum. Smells like Starburst on steriods. LOL. You might get a cavity with this one. Just kidding.

We have a huge show in May and will making soap at least 3 times a week. This week scrubs will be in production.

Soaps Made this Week!

2014-05-10T13:25:00.000-04:00

I have been a busy bee this week making Peppermint Soap and an Energy Soap for my hubby. Here are the pictures below:

Peppermint Soap:
The picture on the bottom in the middle is an Arby's Andes Mint Peppermint shake. I have been looking at that image for at least 8 months dreaming of creating a peppermint soap that looked like it. I think I did a good job. I think I will pipe the white on the top of the soap next time.

Energy Soap:
I brought some "manly scents" from New Directions and one of the fragrance oils was called Energy. My hubby gravitated to it and wanted a soap using that scent. I wanted to add some kind of colors to the soap to symbolize that. So I ended up on pinterest and found the color combo on the top left. Next to it is what the soap looked like when it was wet. The other pictures are when it was cut. The colors look good on the top, but kind of morphed when I cut them on the inside. I love the color combos and I will probably try a different technique where we can see the individual colors. The fragrance oils smells great.

Well I hope you enjoyed what we have been doing in the lab. The Peppermint Soap will be available in six weeks.

Our next posts will feature a small business and what soaps we have available RIGHT NOW!

Have a great Day!

But we are still here grinding and hustling to with Shea Bath Products and mastering our craft to bring you great bath products and to educate you on what is great for your body.

The weekend is here and you know what that means. Time to make soap.

President Baraka Obama - 2nd Term

I know it has been some time since I last posted on this lonely blog. But I had to christen my page with a few pictures of our President who will be in office for a second term. I just appreciate the history that is developing in front of our eyes. Both good and bad. It will be something to talk about to the generations.

Back in the Lab - Part 2

2010-08-03T23:32:00.005-04:00

Although I have to bid my week long vacation farewell on Wednesday, it was not a total loss. I was able to make some fabulous soaps this week. One was my Tropical Breeze soap. There are no photos of this creation because we will need to change how this one turn out.

I also made Lavender Dreams soap that is displayed below:

Both soaps are made with the following:
Sweet Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil & Shea Butter. The Tropical Breeze soap has oatmeal for exfoliation. I am most proud of how the swirls are very prominent in the above soap. Both soaps smell divine. Sorry no smellovision here folks. You just have to line up to purchase your own. :)

Look out for the Lavender Dream soap, Whipped Shea Body Butter and Bath Salts as part of our new product line soon. :)

Back in the Lab

2010-07-29T20:05:00.004-04:00

Your girl is back in the lab again taking advantage of my week off. The goal today was to make body butter for the family. I also wanted to make some bath salts and sugar scrubs. The bath salts turned out scrumptious take a look:

The top one is Tropical Breeze and the bottom one is Lavendar Dreams. I look forward to adding these to the new product line.

There are no pretty pictures of my sugar scrub because my experiment was a bust. But I plan to try again either tonight or tomorrow.

But I am feeling pretty good about what I accomplished today. As we speak, I have the Tropical Breeze soap bars curing and should be ready in a month.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 25

2010-07-29T08:47:00.003-04:00

I am off for the rest of the week,so I decided to venture further than normal. I jogged 1 1/2 miles to the nearest park. I thought I would have been able to jog around the walking trail. But I only made it half way. Still a good accomplishment bearing in mind I laid off working out yesterday.

Tuesday evening I did DVD 1 of P90x. This consisted of a Chest/Back and Ab workout. Needless to say my chest is still tight.

Looking forward to the transformation. :)

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 24

2010-07-26T06:56:00.002-04:00

I guess I could have used the humidity outside as an excuse to not get moving today. Or the fact that I only got 5 hours of sleep last night. But I will not use any excuses and say that I did get out there this morning. After 4 days of not jogging, the legs told me that I need to be a little more consistent. I didn't do too bad today. Since I will have a staycation starting on Wednesday, I will use that opportunity to get back into some more consistent movement. Have a great Monday.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 23

2010-07-21T06:52:00.002-04:00

I have been off from exercising for 3 days after an eventful weekend. It is hard getting back in the swing of things but I did it today. I jogged my normal route today but didn't work too hard to avoid injury. The challenge is winding down...

30 Day Cardio Challenge Day 22

2010-07-16T09:23:00.003-04:00

2-1-1-1-1. No this is not a math test and it is not morse code. This is the interval length of time I ran today. It does not mean anything to you, but that #2 is impressive to me. I was able to run/jog consistent for 2 minutes. Typically it is jog 1 minute than walk 1 minute. This only shows me that I am getting closer to running for longer periods of time. Step by small step. :)

Happy Birthday 2 Me :)

2010-07-13T07:04:00.002-04:00

Three scores and eight years ago a miracle was born. That miracle was me. Ok enough of that. My family is known for parties. You name it we used to have a party for everything and they never ended. The above picture is one of my most memorable birthday parties. That was my 5th birthday party and it seems like everyone was there. Those were happy times. As are everyday I live this life I was left here to live. Thank you God for seeing and guiding me through another year.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 21

2010-07-13T06:44:00.003-04:00

It's been 2 days since I worked out last and my knees reminded me of that this morning. They did not want to cooperate with my warm-up squats. No matter, I fixed that problem w/the 1k jog this morning. LOL Last night was strength training because everywhere strength training is the way to go to burn the fat we have in our bodies. When we are in motion and more so when we are at rest. So I did shoulders, triceps and biceps routines. If I don't do anything else today, I treated my body right. :)

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 20

2010-07-10T13:28:00.002-04:00

Instead of running solo today, we took the kids to the park to shoot hoops and run drills. Well hubby ran basketball drills with the kids, while I ran/walked on the park trail. It was exceptionally cool this morning at 9am, but right around 11am you knew it was going to be a scorcher. So glad to get that out of the way today. As much as I would have rather stayed in bed this morning, the fresh did me good. Now to conquer the rest of the day. :) Three days till my born day.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 19

2010-07-08T06:47:00.002-04:00

One thing is for sure, exercise is a great stress reliever. I love that I can run my the stress of the day out of mind or begin my day with a clear mind after a run. I have been doing a few ab routines on runnersworld.com. Try these, but you will not be able to get past the ABC planks. Killer. Six-pack here I come. :)

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 18

2010-07-07T06:50:00.002-04:00

It's always hard to get back into a routine after a long weekend. I woke up late yesterday and did not workout. Got off to a late start today but made it out anyway just cut the jogging short. I am still sore from the basketball drills we ran on Monday morning. Trust me I have a stroke, but you won't find me in the WNBA no time soon. :)

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 17

2010-07-03T13:38:00.003-04:00

I love Saturday because it gives me the opportunity to walk/run for longer period of time. Today I was a 4 mile kind of day. I need to start working on the muffin top area. I started a new routine after my workout from runnersworld.com

I have been noticing that my workout clothes are loose. Could this be a sign? I will not get on the scale to see, because the number is never right.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 16

2010-07-02T06:27:00.002-04:00

Tuesday
Simply more of the same today. I performed by warmups from runners world and jogged a little bit longer. I think I need to get new running shoes for my birthday (7/13) I do want to encourage everyone to get your body moving doing something. Start with walking 10 to 20 minutes every other day until your body craves the movement. And it will. Our bodies were made for movement not stagnation.

Friday 7/2/2010
-Today is a scratch day because it is raining outside and I am not at a point where I run in the rain. I am sure that will change soon. LOL. I did perform my warmup/strength training routine this morning. Did I already say I love this website. Check out just a taste of the info you can use whether you are a runner, just beginning or need a boost in specific areas.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 14 & 15

2010-06-28T21:53:00.003-04:00

Saturday marked Day 14 of this cardio challenge. I did a little too much that day. I thought I would be able to extend my run time, but I had to go to the laundromat. So I walked/ran w/daughter number one for about 15 minutes. Just about the time she complained that she was hot and her feet hurt. Ugh.Then we were off to the laundromat. Since Walmart was nearby and my car needed an oil change, I decided to drop the car off, walk back to the laundromat, then walk back to Walmart to pick up my car. Brilliant idea considering it was 90 degrees outside by the this time. My right shin let me know I did too much because by the time I was through, it became uncomfortable but not painful. I got more of a workout day than I anticipated even though I had to sit out exercising on Sunday.

Monday marks Day 15 of this challenge. I can't believe I am at the halfway mark already. This morning I tried this 7 minute stretch warm up from my fav website runnersworld.com. I performed each routine as stated and left to run this morning. Talk about explosive. I ran longer and quicker than I normally do. I think I was a little to good because I lost steam in the end. LOL I ended up walking the last 15 minutes of my run. Nonetheless, I will definitely be using this every morning to wake up my sleepy muscles.

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 13

2010-06-25T06:59:00.003-04:00

If you are only interested in sitting on the couch and eating chips, these videos are not for you. If you are not interested in exercising and improving your health, these video are not for you. Last night I did the Biggest Winner strength training session for the back of the body. If you know Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser, you know that she is no joke. And this session did not disappoint. When I was done, the only thing I wanted was my bed. LOL

For today's cardio session, one of two of my daughters got up early to join me. She did not know what she was in for. She will thank me in the long run. :). My hips have been on fire the last two days, so instead of running, I basically walked for 30 minutes. I managed a mini sprint during the last leg of this session. Saturday will be a better day to really get more time in. Have a great weekend

30 Day Cardio Challenge - Day 12

2010-06-24T06:33:00.002-04:00

Last night I wanted to do some strength training for today's run. But for some reason I got distracted and never did that. I got caught up on runnersworld.com looking for weight lifting routines for my back and never found the information.

This morning as I am doing my walk/jog training, I realized I have Jillian Michaels strength training dvd in the house I could have used. Just had a DUH moment. LOL

We will try the whole strength training thing tonight. :)
