Soap it up is a great online soap store filled with beautiful handmade soaps, the scents are so divine I can almost smell them wafting through my computer screen.  Check out their scented goats milk soaps too.

I think these crayon soaps are an all time favorite with mums and dads at bath time and are great for occupying little hands and getting them to use soap !!

Here is a free recipe on how to make your own crayon soaps.

You won’t need your leather whip for this one just a few materials and a whisk or beater.

Keep in mind the soap should be made from Fresh milk not just the powdered stuff, that is what makes it super baaaa–rific special

Herbal Garden sells it’s Fresh Goat Milk Soap blocks for $2.75 USD  or try Farnhamridge goats milk soap for an assortment of different scents for $4.75 the Udder Goat Soap sell it for $4.00 for a large block.

I know what your thinking why can’t I just make it myself?  Well guess what you Can make your own goats milk soap !!

OK one last observation… Why are all these people using the exact same shaped mold with a goat on it ? some originality would be nice. Perhaps a goat in a different pose? like this cute head shot mold :)

If I make some of this soap (which I intend to do) I am going to use a dog shaped mold, just to be awkward.

Whats better than getting beautiful handmade soap delivered to your door…. how about a 4 oz scented block of soap each month for 6 months!!

How exciting it would be to open the mail box at the begining of each month knowing there is a little special something in there just for you.

Order in creme brulee, Sugar cookies or pumpkin spice cake from KreatedbyKaren’s Etsy Store it’s just $34.00 (which includes shipping)

Mmm Strawberries and cream or better still strawberries and Chocolate… This post is dedicated to my little red friend the “Strawberry”

You can literally eat, live and bath with strawberries.  Here is a quick Strawberry Bubble Bath recipe to tempt the kids into the bath with or how about some strawberry bath dust recipe.

Is your face a little icky? then try this yummy Strawberry Detox Facial Recipe, just try not to eat it.

On to the soaps !! try this basic Strawberry soap bar recipe or for a little more fun try this Strawberry and lime loaf soap recipe.

or try this Strawberry embed mold for adding little strawberry shapes into your clear soaps.

Now with all the strawberry stuff you are going to need a good strawberry scented fragrant oil or some strawberry perfume oil for lotions and other such potions.
