A tower of shampoo bar just out of the mold -
those are my finger prints on the very cold tower o' soap
the surface is actually very pristine and beautiful... Woot!
So, my first try at shampoo bars about a month back was a complete bust. I used a microbrew craft beer and for some reason it resulted in a phunky lye heavyish outcome. I have used this particular beer in regular soap many times without incident, so I am not really sure what happened, but it was just wrong(believe me when I tell you this..)I finally decided to give the ol shampoo bar another try and this time-the results seem to be spot on.(oh! btw no beer in this one.)To be continued....

What a beautiful soap, Michele. It looks so smooth and creamy.
Looks amazing!!!!! xo Jen
your shampoo bar looks really smooth, i love it!!
Thanks so much! I was without palm and thought I wouldn't be able to make any until I got my hands on some-but Amy reminded me that-well I didn't need palm. doh!So this is my first palm free batch of soap in a very long time and I have to say it poured up like a dream -and it smells like sunshine!!
Yippee!! It looks fabulous! And I believe it must smell fabulous too! By the way, I tried your kale recipe the other night. It was overdone after 10 minutes, but I thought it still tasted pretty good. I'm going to try it again, and I'm also going to post the link to your recipe in my newsletter!
Hi Amy,thanks so much for the reminder that I could do a recipe without palm -I've been using palm so long it's sort of second nature. It was nice to whip up something different and the texture/consistency was so yummy!
Aren't the kale chips good?Yep, it doesn't take long for them to start getting too done on the edges. We love them and usually have to buy a couple of bunches to make a decent sized amount for the 3 of us. Thanks, for the mention in your newsletter.
