HOMEMADE SOAP
Hi, I have started to make my own soap,after doing research into what ingredients go into the soap we buy off the supermarket shelf. My soap isnt perfect to look at, this is the first time I have ever tried to sell anything that I have made, but I Im very proud of it, it has cleansing and nourishing oils and fats, and lather well, and smell lovely, some with Essential Oils, some with Fragrance Oils. This soap has Cocoa, which has many skin benefits, also for a natural colour, Coconut and Olive oils, Ylang Ylang & Patchouli EO, size varies 80-100g.I found it hard to take good photos, the light showed up all the small imperfections.

I was spiralling out of control
I don't have many memories from my childhood, but the memories I do have relate to food - picnics with bacon and egg pie, my mother’s home cooking, Sunday bread. I was never much of a sweet tooth, but instead I preferred savouries, pastries, breads and the like. I grew up on a farm and food was plentiful and was never restricted and I lived a pretty healthy, active lifestyle.
Once I hit my teenage years, however, I remember starting to get worried about my weight. (I'll just mention here that I don't think I have ever been overweight and I certainly wasn't overweight as a teenager).
