Soap bubbles...

[rheasilvia]

So, after a year of slacking off, I have recently started making soap again. Yin and yang, rose, lavender, coffee, pomegranate stars, neon stars, tea tree, an absolute luxury soap in two versions, one with sea-buckthorn oil...

And wow, I have never ever heard the word sea-buckthorn in English before. But why? It's awesome! Yummy and healthy and pretty. I'm a fan.

Hmm. Maybe I should write fanfic. But who would be most likely to be sea-buckthorn? I'm thinking Erik... tough, stubborn, headstrong, thorny and frequently found in difficult circumstances. Sour when caught at a bad time, but potentially sweet, healthy and delicious, and definitely well-worth the trouble. Also, very low-maintenance, despite appearances. *g*

Anyway! With one exception, I have yet to take pics of my new soaps, and I am too late to supply soap as xmas presents. However, if any of you have unfulfilled soap longings, please let me know. I have a couple of soaps left in me before my spree ends again!

I need a soap icon. Also, maybe an "I am rather odd and not ashamed of it at all" icon. ;-)

I have never heard of sea-buckthorn either, but maybe it's because it doesn't grow here!

That's a shame! You can make delicious juice that's awesome with buttermilk, for example, or in cocktails. And you can make jam! And cake! And liquors! And ice cream, and candy, and tea, and...

It's extremely tasty, and vitamin-intensive like nothing else. Not to mention it's good for the skin, so great in cosmetics. Plus, anti-tumor, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, yadda yadda.

I kinda love it. :-)
