Preparation and the Slow Grind Towards the End

Today I am planning a new soap. 

The process is slow, requiring thought, research, and reflection, but eventually I will get there.

Creativity is something that I struggle with, whether it's in making soap, writing, or coming up with art projects for the children I work with to enjoy.  It's about learning and experimentation - that's the part I especially enjoy. 

What herbs and spices to combine and how will they effect one another, react with the skin, feed it the way food nourishes from within; to cleanse and purify without destroying the natural environment of the skin. 

That is where I am at today, tweezing out the delicate threads of planning to find The Recipe, something apparently new with roots in the ancient world.

Have a great weekend!
