7-up type scent?!?!?!?

Round 1

Round 2

see where the top split off :(

I am introducing new scents to my line to go along with my Cherry Cola soap. First one up is 7-up type: As sweet and bubbly as a new can of lemon-lime soda.

This scent is amazing and it smells just like 7-up! Everyone at my office was blown away by how good this smells!

I am still in testing on this one cause I want it to be super cool and it just isn't there yet but I thought I would show you how it is coming along so far and see what you all thought about them.

First round I wanted to try some dots in it similar to the 7-up cans(diet more so) and I wanted to create bubbles. Well I have to say it looks ok but still not good enough. Couldn't decide if I should do more dots, less, bigger or smaller ones.

In the end I ended up expanding on the bubble look and I thought it looked great in the mold. But I ran into a small problem as it separated some when I took it out of the mold. I am going to attempt this one again to see if I can get the layers to stick together better or not. If they don't stick better then it will be round 3 of figuring out another idea to try.

Once I master this scent I have another one for my cola/soda type line that I need to work on so stay tuned for the next scent.....

The Story of Cherry Cola soap

Thought I would talk some about my Cherry Cola soap today. I went to the Bitter Creek convention 1 year ago and they had up a table with every scent they carry. I spent a good deal of time there smelling all of them and the minute I hit the Cherry Cola I was blown away by how great it was. As soon as I got home from the convention I placed an order because I had to have that scent.

I decided to make it into some soap see top picture, well I couldn't seem to sell any in that scent which was odd since it is so good. Well turns out that it was just because the picture was so bad most people didn't even pay attention to it the top picture is one of the early ones of the soap and still a better picture then what I had up for a long time. I also noticed that over time the soap changed colors and the lines got softer as the second picture is still the same soap as the first picture. When I posted the updated picture(pic 2) all of a sudden people were taking notice of this great scent and by picture 3 update it is fast becoming a top seller.

Well I am down to my last 2 bars so it was time to make a fresh batch again. 4th picture is the batch I made this weekend, I used the same colors as the first batch and once again it is similar to the coloring of the first picture. So maybe this soap is like wine and it gets better and better colors with time?!?! Will be interesting to see if this one changes to a more purple color with soft lines.

PS I learned that it really pays to have good pictures!
