During the Spring of 2021, I had this genius idea to have my second and third grade students make their mothers soap and bath bombs for Mother's Day. Of course they each wanted to make different scents and colors to match what their mom liked, which in turn caused me to do some pretty serious research on the topic. We started small with simple glycerin melt and pour soaps that we tested on the neighboring teachers and then went back to perfect the recipe. After spilling our second batch all over the lab, we finally got it right! The students went home with great gifts and I was already hooked!
I started researching and experimenting with different methods and really enjoy making cold process soaps. Overtime, I had so many samples that I began sharing them with family and friends in Florida.
I had an awesome opportunity to transfer from the hot, humid, muggy swamps of Florida to the unpredictable prairies and badlands of North Dakota. Here I have been inspired to incorporate the different flora and fauna and rich history into my soaps
