Notes:
Inspiration - love! A few years ago my marriage failed and the break-up was quite acrimonious. I thought that "love" was for story books!
Recently a wonderful man has entered my life and we are very much in "storybook love".
Some things we love the same and some we love differently. I prefer citrus scents, he prefers lavender. I use animal products, he is a vegetarian.
This soap is a product of our love. It is a vegetarian version of my favourite base oils recipe and the scent blend is an eau de cologne which combines citrus and lavender.
Making this soap was a very positive experience for me and my love! I made 24 large bars of soap and the leftover from the swap will be special for both of us.
Regards
Mel.
