Going way back to my first soap & candles!

Pomegranate my first ever soap that I made


First Candles


The one on the right was coffee soap and yes I put in way too much ground coffee they were way too rough!

Few batches under my belt I started figuring out the swirling some.
This one is Black Raspberry Vanilla



This post is inspired by Patrice from The Soap Seductions trip down memory lane post.

I had to dig deep in the images to find these. So I started making candles about 2-3 years before I started making soap. These are my first real candles that I made. Well tech all the chunks were the ones that I made first but they were so bad I chunked them up and made these.

My first candles were so bad I got sticks stuck in them trying to make holes for wicks. Another one I didn't get the wick in there good and like an idiot I poured it with the mold sitting in the sink and the wax poured straight down the drain and clogged it! I managed to fix the clog but then the sink wouldn't go back together cause the parts were so old so the apartment manager had to call a plumber. Shhh I never told them I had poured wax down the drain, lol.

Now onto the soap. First one I ever made was scented with Pomegranate see picture above. I sure have come a long way from these! My bars are now much bigger and these were made before they started making the addictive that keeps the soaps from turning that brown/tan.

We all had to start some where right?
