8th International Soap Swap
Debbie Ellis's Morning Poppy Delight Soap Recipe
Morning Poppy Delight Soap by Debbie Ellis
The inspiration for this soap came from my love of orange poppy seed cake and a fine cup of coffee for morning tea. Also the idea of poppy seeds as a gentle exfoliator and fresh citrus smell first thing in the morning to invigorate and uplift!
This is the first time i have coloured soap with ground tumeric spice and I love the opaque earthy orange colour it has produced.
I hope you enjoy this little soap as much as we do...
It has been great to contribute to this swap...
Warm Regards,
Deb Ellis, Vic - Australia.
