Make your own 'Flowering Scrunchie Loofah Soap' (scrunchie type)

I came across a recipe for a loofah soap, I have been making these for a long time, however I was using the tradtional 'loofah' this is slightly different and looks fab, using a nylon scrunchie and so practical too! You will need to buy a nylon scrunchie and a mould, I would use my silicone muffin moulds (bought from Poundland store for yes a £1.00) but any soap mould will do. You will need Melt and Pour Soap Base Colour (Optional) Fragrance or essential oil (must be a Cosmetic Approved one) Scrunchie Soap Mould Instructions

• Chop your melt and pour soap base into peieces and melt in the microwave, using short bursts of 10 seconds only until melted
• Add your chosen colour
• Add your fragrance/essential oils remember to keep within recommended guidlines of the manufacturer (too much and your soap will be sticky and horrible)
• Pour your melted soap base into the muffin cups / or mould until approx ½ full
• Place the loofa into the mould & compress with your fingers or if too hot use a spoon, ensure that the part of the scrunchie has absorbed some of the base.
• Pour the remaining soap base over the scrunchie and leave to set for approx 2 hours (or longer)
• When hardened, simply pop out of your mould and you have a fab 'Flowering Loofa Soap!

You can leave the soap base a neutral and use a brightly coloured Scrunchie!

Luxurious Handmade Natural Soap - Just gorgeous!

So my fabulously luxurious handmade soaps are now ready! I am so excited and delighted!

If you have never actually used 'real traditional soaps' then you are really missing out on a blissful experience. I would love everybody to use these, they are truely fabulous on your skin.

Firstly I love to use these because they leave your skin feeling so silky smooth, unlike commercial mass produced soaps that leave your skin feeling dry and a little tight.

Traditional soaps, such as these are made without chemicals, full of skin loving natural oils - rich Olive oil, gentle Avocado oil & luxurious Cocoa and Shea Butters, just perfect to drench your skin with moisture.

These soaps are not only fabulous but with out any harsh SLS or SLES, which are generally contained in the glcyerine soaps, but also look wonderful as well as smelling devine.

The top photo is of my Pomegranate Soap, a beautiful off white with a rich deep fushia pink & hint of purple swishing design.

This 2nd photo is a fab ginger soap, such sweet fragrance with a hint of ginger, and a beautiful creamy buttermilk colour with toffeee coloured swirls. Both soaps contain the skin nourishing Cocoa Butter, moisturising Avocado and Oilive Oils, and of course a hint of scent. Apart from leaving your skin soft and oh so silky, why not pop a bar in your drawer and you will love the aroma every time you open it! I will be putting these on my website this weekend, but I am sure these will not be around for too long! Each bar of soap is cut individually from the block, therefore the shape and appearance varies slightly, but all adds to the character and charm of a handmade soap! TIP Handmade soaps are much softer than the commercial mass produced soaps, it is always best to use a soap holder with good drainage, this allows the soap to dry out, and will ensure the life and therefore pleasure of your bar is much longer! Lastly I shall be wrapping these in beautiful pieces of Cath Kidston fabrics, beautiful to look at and fabulous to use!
