Have you ever thought of making hand made soap for personal use, or perhaps even for special gifts to friends or loved ones? The possibility is endless when creating your own soaps, not only the personalized shape or scents, but the process is rewarding and fun!  The process is simply by  melting and pouring the ingredients. I tried out some recipes from Rosevita Warda, the scents are sweet and relaxing.   If you have a nice shape for to mold the soap, you can create a beautiful hand made soap. But if you don’t have one, you can make a simple square shaped soap easily.   Check out one recipes I like and I would like to share it with you :) . Peppermint Orange Volcano, The ultimate combination to get you feeling fresh instantly by mixing peppermint and orange. The materials are easy to get, you can buy them for cheap from your loca grocery store…so here we go: 6 ounces clear glycerin soap base, 3 drops blue colorant, 3 drops green colorant, 10 drops peppermint essential oils or fragrance oil, 15 drops sweet orange essential oils/fragrance oil2,  clamshell molds or any molds shape you have, 3 ounce each with embossed starfish. Mixing in:  Place the soap base into the heat resistant glass measuring cup and microwave for 10 to 20 minutes. You can also manually stir the soap base on a stove, but keep in mind that you need to adjust the heat to keep the soap at a constant liquid point. Do not let the soap heat for more than 10 minutes. I personally use microwave to melt the soap for 10 minutes. The glycerin soaps have a melting point between 135F – 145F. Mix in the rest and place the mixture onto the molds and let it harden. That’s it and Enjoy!
