ice ice baby – soap soap baby

Last weekend was the christmas market in Bad Vöslau (Lower Austria) and about everything went wrong. On Saturday I had to work and couldn't help out so Simon and T had to do everything without me. The market was outdoor and it had super minus degrees. And additional to all that there were hardly any people. Great! On Sunday E and I could be there too and so there were 4 of us. Highlight of the day was when half of my family came to visit us and the times when we tried to warm our feet in a neat café.
We closed our stall early because it just had no sense to freeze but not sell anything.
What a fail.

The good sides were to spend time with close friends and we (T&N) bought an old baroque style bedside cabinet in the café (because you can buy the furniture). And also at the market we got to know a very nice woman who sold herbal salt and jams and liqueur … in spring and summer she offers herbal walks … where you wander through the woods and meadows and gather herbs. I'll definitely do that. I always wanted to do that but all alone I'd get lost and never find back home and die in the swamp or get killed by does and squirrels … however.

On Monday I invited two girls to make soap at my place. We made the soap with coconut oil and olive oil and then divided it into two parts. To the first part we added jasmine blossom and ylangylang oil and to the other part we added coconut milk and vanilla oil. Once again we used my molds with the ornamental flower design.
Yesterday I cut the soap and I already love it. The one with the ylangylang oil smells extremely extravagant and the one with coconut milk feels sooo creamy.
I'll post pictures as soon as possible!
