Fireworks!

According to Six Flags, it is officially Summer.  Personally, my calendar is a wee bit different but what do I know?  I’m just the one watching the fireworks! πŸ˜‰

Soap a l‘Orange

I think this will be the final batch I’m going to make for our friend to take downstate to the farmer’s market, unless I decided to do an unscented/uncolored batch.  There are other soaps I want to put together, for family, friends, and me.  There are so many recipes I want to try!  And I got some new colors, too!  But for now, I have 2 dozen soaps for him to try to sell, and I think that’s a good start.  If they sell, you can believe I will be a busy soaping bee, lol. 

For this batch I decided to use the all natural essential oil, instead of using fragrance oils like I used in the other batches.  Options, you know.  I used a bright orange matte color, and some white French clay to make a slurry.

Yeah, that’s bright!

Fortunately, the color that resulted reminded me of a creamy orange Creamsicle.

Yum!  They smelled so good!

Maybe I should have called them Dreamsicle bars, but I think that name is copyrighted.  Not sure. 

Anyway, which do you think is better – the top shot without flash …

Or the bottom shot with flash?

I can’t decide.

What Kind of Happy Are You?

Well huh.  I do feel half asleep half the time, but I also feel engaged, busy, the garden stuff, all that.  Also, never bored.  Honestly, I’m not sure I even know what bored is.

You Are Engaged

You feel completely absorbed and intrigued right now. You’re cheerfully busy.
You’re alert and completely involved with everything you do. You don’t walk through life half-asleep.

If you’re interested and engrossed, then you feel incredibly happy.
You are constantly curious and never bored. There’s too much to be fascinated with!
