I love the smell of both coffee and chocolate so how could this mixture possibly go wrong? I used the calculator over at Soapcalc in order to figure out exactly what percentages or weights I needed to use. This is an easy hot process soap. I do suggest you only use your essential oils or perfumes at the end. Otherwise the heat of the hot process will burn off your

Six more weeks till Winter. Or so the story goes told by Alaskan Natives and sourdoughs alike. When the fireweed has bloomed all the way to the top, we have six more weeks till the snow flies. So far this break up and then into summer, we’ve had some successes….and some failures. That’s pretty typical though. The garden is doing well but could be doing better thanks to the late
As usual come winter here in North Pole, Alaska we turn inwards and spend time relaxing; learning new skills; reading books; and just as of this past Autumn I started attending college for my certification in Herbal Retail Management with the American College of Healthcare Sciences in Portland, Oregon. So while we’re not working non stop outside, we still stay relatively busy, all within close proximity to the lit wood
