A Nice Mix - Lily of the Valley & Clove Bud


Thursday September 24, 2015 (made the soap)

Wednesday October 28, 2015 (posted this blog)

Wow, we just realized that we made this soap a whole month ago. How can a month go by so fast??? Ok, we know at this point it seems like a whole year can speed by that fast, but we digress.  This is supposed to be about making soap not whining about time passing!

One of my (Kathy's) all time favorite scents and flowers is Lily of the Valley. There is probably some deep seated psychological reason why - maybe my mom grew it, maybe it reminds me of a perfume I liked, who knows? Today Lily of the Valley was the scent du jour!

We knew from previous forays with LOV that it isn't a strong scent, in fact we found that it faded easily. So today we decided to mix a smidge of Clove Bud EO with the LOV and see where that takes us and if it will help to make the scent stronger.  I got all artistic and decided to use colorants that would resemble the Lily of the Valley plant and flower.

Please enjoy the following video we put together showing the creation of the Lily of the Valley and Clove Bud soap.  The Lily of the Valley FO came from +Lebermuth Co and the Clove Bud EO is from +Natures Garden.
