Mud and Rain

Have dried out and removed the mud from the weekend at Singleton.  All the soap very kindly went tacky as it was so so wet.  However proves they are not dried out with no moisture left in them. If that was the case they would not pick up the mositure.  Been today looking at Soapqueen.com and other web links from their web page.  Found some wonderful people with wonderful information.  I found when I was looking to start in this country there was just no info. 

Today been struggling with but found a good receipe for liquid soap for hair shampoo.  Made it with coconut oil, jojob and castor oil and it looks really good.  It calls for the hot soap method and uses potassium hydroxide not sodium hydroxide.  First time I used it frightened me as the sodium hydroxide mixes but the potassium actually sounds like mini fireworks going off as it crackles.  So left the soap paste to go cold and will on Friday add some water and leave it to turn into liquid from the paste.

The handcream receipe has turned out brilliant.   First outing on Saturday and have added Neem for extra healing.  One lady tried it as she has dreadful dry hands due to excema and sensitivities and told me she found neem wonderful.  She came back half an hour later and bought a jar, the next day she came back and bought another jar as her Mum had said her hands had lost ten years off them in an hour.  So will keep this one going, anything to help those with those problems.  My Husband when I met him had hands full of plasters over his splits and my son suffers, but his is linked to stress with his exams, but the hand cream is working for both of them.
