Lavender Soap DIY Recipe

Lavender Soap DIY Recipe – Easy Homemade Soap Recipe.

Are you a fancy soap person?

Because, honestly, I’m not.

I didn’t grow up in a fancy soap household. And when I did visit a fancy soap household, I didn’t really know if you could/should use the fancy soap.

Are you supposed to use the fancy soap?

And don’t even get me started on the fancy towels. ๐Ÿ˜‰

So why am I making fancy soap today?

Good question. I’m not really sure …

Perhaps I aspire to become a fancy soap person?

Or perhaps I came across some homemade soap projects on Pinterest and thought, “oh, that looks fun. And easy. And great smelling!”

So here I am. Making some fancy-fun-and-easy-great-smelling homemade soap!

    I use MY fancy soaps but don’t know if I could use other people’s! These’d also be luscious in a lingerie drawer or linen closet shelf!

    I am having a problem with the goat’s milk hardening before I can get the oil and lavender into it and poured into the molds.

    The lavender buds will discolor the soap and look like mice poop soon

      Sadly this is true. I’ll have to find another option that won’t turn brown.
