First New Fragrance Used this Year!!


Hello, Rose Garden. It is good to be back. I have decided to keep this blog for the behind the scenes discussions about fragrances and products made with them.

The Hawaiian Ruby Guava smells like a bubbly juicy fruit. Doesn't discolor or accelerate trace nor does it superheated. The fragrance doesn't morph once in the soap. Smells just as good the next day.

Not sure if I am going to blend this one with anything or not.

More Pirate's Cove Soaps; Ready on 06/15

 Hello, Rose Garden.

 

How have you been? I am doing well. So, I made soap embeds for this month's soaping adventures and they did NOT come out well at all. So, I invested in MP base and remade most of them. So, below are my pictures of some of the embeds and the soap a few of them went into.


As you all may remember my Pirate's Cove line is inspired by Pirates Of the Caribbean. The soap below was originally named Barbosa's Apple but I didn't want to tangle with "The Ears" so I changed it to Spanish Apple. 



I made apple scented jewels of different colors and apples as embeds and then dusted the top of the soap loaf with 24 karat gold mica since he was more interested in gold than actually being a pirate. Well, aren't most pirates concerned mainly with gold and treasure? Anyhoo, I thought it was a nice touch.



The soap itself smells fresh, airy, and has a tinge of tartness from the Granny Smith. I balanced all of this with the soft powdery floral notes of Spanish Rosemary essential oil. This one did fight me a bit. The red and green portions of the soap batter accelerated on me but the blue (read: ocean) portion was smooth sailing. Eh? Eh? *eye waggle* Get it? Heee!!! If you cannot tell, I am happy about bringing this one back after a long hiatus.


I also made another batch of High Seas. I only have one bar of this one left so I went ahead and popped this in the soapy cauldron. Always a pleasant blend to make into a soap. I really have to pat myself on the back for this one.


I don't make embeds for this one because I don't believe that it needs any. The same can be said for Caribbean Wedding, Mermaid's Tears, Parley, and Rum Runner. In the future if I can find some cute oak barrel molds, I may add them to the tops of the Rum Runner bars. That is all that I have for now. More soaps will be made this weekend so I will update later. As always leave a comment or question below.

May's "Summer Sippin'" Box is Here!!

 Good evening, Rose Garden.


How are you? I am so pleased to bring you our Summer Sippin' box which was released yesterday.  We have Spritzer: Strawberry Moscato which is available in dry body oil, bath salts and perfume. It smells like a sweet strawberry and chilled white wine.

Spritzer: Peach Bellini smells great as a perfume. A soft peach with notes of sugar and clean rose. This one will only be available in a perfume. If I made it into a bath salt y'all won't get out of the tub. LOL


Spritzer: Blueberry Chiller is a wonderful blend of sweet blueberries, citrus, and soft notes of mangosteen. This one will be available in fizzy bath salts and dry body oils.



Pirate's Cove: Rum Runner has been a part of my Pirate's Cove line up since its inception. I have added it to this month's box because I felt the Rum, Apple Cider, and aged oak barrel. This will be offered in a bath salt and in a dry body oil.

Be sure to not miss out on this month's box. The fragrances will not be repeated in future boxes. Get them while you can.
