Calling out for help here....   Ingido - Can anyone help me find a supplier for this natural indigo?  Here is a photo of the little package that was given to me as a gift.  The person who gave it to me has not been able to provide the supplier either and I need to order more!   Blogger - I used to be able to simply "follow" a new blog by clicking on the "follow" button at the top of the screen.  But for some reason, I haven't been able to for months now.  I can't seem to post the screen shot in here to give you an example...  but instead of follow at the top, it gives me the option to "share".  Hopefully one of the tech whizzs out there will be able to help!!   Thank you!!!! xo  Jen

What the /&$/%&·(“?!???? happened to my rose hip soap?   My usually smooth pretty pink rose hip soap?   This speckled effect was completely unintentional… (love the natural light in this photo, the following 3 were with artificial light...) I can’t think of anything I did differently other than make larger quantities (a full 48-bar mould) and maybe add a little more rose geranium essential oil than previously. Right at the end as I was adding the trace ingredients, it started to set up on me in globs, actually one big glob, like a rock!!   Oh no… this is an expensive soap to make and I was determined to save it so I pleaded, attacked, sliced, blended, mixed, begged, coerced, chopped, bludgeoned, and blended and blended some more. Then I manipulated it into the mould.   Phew! Note the irregular size logs.. hmm.. hmm.. the guitar string on my log splitter broke on me while cutting... another surprise!!   I have some ideas on how to do thing slightly dif...

So, the busy summer season has come to an end and I have begun making making making soap again!! And experimenting!!   Oh how I love making soap and experimenting! Soaps I did for a wedding recently… Some laundry soap I made… A wonderful beach afternoon getaway in the Cabo de Gata natural park nearby…   And a reminder that my Website is up live and running!   www.naturalmentemediterraneo.com Wow… I can really get lost in all this computer time… I have to limit myself in order to get other stuff done! About blogging… for personal blog browsing other people’s blogs, I love big colourful photos with new things to learn.   I don’t have time to read through wordy blog posts so I skim…   and I get annoyed when I realize that a blog is a business plug.   So with this blog, I try to do those things I like – big colourful photos… keep the words down… and not try to push my business… just offer and connect with other people with similar interests.   That...

As the hot busy summer draws to a close, I know I will miss the colourful evening market I have been fortunate to be a part of this summer. It ends next Saturday. Some photos for you:     My Stand Morrocan Artisan Stand    The wonderful Siberian Painter's stand Some of her work...   To be continued... (seems I have run out of photo space?)   xoxoxo Happy Soaping.... Happy Summer!! Jen
