Handmade Vegan Soap

Many people find that commercially created soaps make their hands dry. This is often due to the naturally produced glycerine being extracted. This is then sold to other companies to make moisturiser…which you then go and buy as your hands are dry!!

I have a large range of soaps, shampoo bars and other soapy delights over at www.soapandpamper.co.uk. They are made with natural, palm oil free and cruelty free ingredients and full of the naturally produced glycerine… go take a look, you might like what you see!

All my products are vegan – please message me if you have any questions.

Vegan Solid Shampoo Bars

Have you tried solid shampoo bars yet? NO?!?!?! Why not?! They are great. They sometimes take a little getting used to but once you find one that suits your hair stick to it…even if it is not mine lol!! I took 3 weeks to get used to it but now I wouldn’t use anything else.

My shampoo is designed for those with normal to dry hair

With lots of different scents to choose from you should find something you fancy 🙂 Go to http://bit.ly/Shampoobars

Wooden Soap Dish

How stylish does this wooden soap dish look! The dish is made with bamboo and stained a dark brown. Of course you can buy these on their own or with just one piece of soap, but beware…. 3 pieces of my soap do fit on!!

I also have a light coloured soap dish that is shaped as a ladder. It is less ‘solid’ in look but the choice will depend on the style of your bathroom.

These items are perfect if you are trying to reduce the plastic waste in your bathroom, or know someone who is trying.

Both dishes available at http://bit.ly/Pamperaccessories

Bars Of Uncut Soap

Bars Of Uncut Soap.

Um – an interesting photo. ..bird’s eye view of some freshly un-moulded soap! I love everything about making soap, from getting prepared and getting all the ingredients out to the finished product. I find it quite therapeutic as it is very methodical. Everything has to be completed in a certain way and the exact recipe has to be followed. This is to ensure that it is safe and, it is the law!! lol

All my ingredients are for the soaps and shampoos are plant based and include Olive Oil, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Castor Oil and Coconut Oil. No nasty chemicals, no animal derivatives and no synthetics at all. To get your all natural soap or shampoo go to www.soapandpamper.co.uk or follow one of the links!

How to Make A Natural Hand Sanitizer – Help Keep The Corona Virus Contained

How to Make a Natural Hand Sanitizer.

We are currently facing a bit of a worry with the corona virus. Now you might think it is all a big hype and it is just another strain of the flu, or you might be very worried. Either way, as a nation we ought to be washing our hands much more. I always do it after the loo….who doesn’t?! But, have a think about all the things you and others touch during your day, sharing your germs as you go. Money, escalator rails, key boards of a public computer, shaking someone’s hand, opening a door…And, if they sneeze into their hands; because they haven’t a tissue, as we are encouraged to do, have they then washed their hands or did they simply wipe them down their jeans?!!!!

I hadn’t really given it much thought until recently. Now I have become increasingly conscious of germs. The best thing to do of course is to wash our hands in hot water, using soap, for 20 seconds. This is the latest advice to help keep the corona virus contained. If you haven’t access to a soap and water then hand sanitizer is the next best thing.

If you don’t want to buy some, or can’t as there isn’t any left on the shelf don’t panic as making some is easy as 1,2,3,4!

Ingredients –

Plain vodka (a cheap brand is fine, you’re not gonna drink it!)
Aloe Vera gel
Lavender essential oil
Ti Tree essential oil. If you find Ti Tree too strong then you could use Lavender & Peppermint instead.
Small 1-2 oz bottle. This can be a plastic squeeze bottles or plastic or glass spray bottles work well. These can also be bought from Wilko’s or some where similar in the travel section.

Step 1

Fill your bottle to 1/3 of the way full with cheap vodka (you’re not gonna drink it so buy cheap!!)

Step 2

Add 10-15 drops each of Ti Tree and Lavender essential oils. These both have natural anti – bacterial properties so will help kill off germs. In addition this combination smells lovely.

Step 3

Fill up your bottle with aloe vera gel. Leave some room at the top of the bottle as the next stage is to shake it all up together!

Step 4

Once all the ingredients are fully combined use as needed!

Apart from the vodka, the other ingredients can usually be bought from a local pharmacy

Flowers, Essential Oils & The Season of Love!!

For many centuries the red rose has been associated with love and romance. In the flower world, the shade of red conveys different meanings with bright red roses symbolizing romance and burgundy and crimson red roses meaning undying love.

Whilst the rose has traditionally been called the ‘queen of flowers’ rose essential oil is known as the queen of essential oils. Many essential oils have a therapeutic link to a particular organ. Rose, with its feminine qualities, is linked to the uterus and problems surrounding the menstrual cycle, sexuality and reproduction. This oil can work wonders on the body and on the state of mind. A few drops in a bath when feeling ‘down in the dumps’ due to PMT or the menopause is so calming and acts as a gentle antidepressant. If you think you might benefit from this oil check it out or seek the advice of a qualified aromatherapist.

Rose essential oil is also a great oil to use in skincare, especially if you have dry, sensitive or aging skin. It takes huge amounts of rose petals to extract a tiny amount of rose essential oil. This results in the oil being expensive and out of reach of many a person’s pocket, including mine!! I don’t use it in my soaps for this reason. Plus you wouldn’t get the same therapeutic benefits from soap like you would in a bath or a massage.

If you think your body or skin would benefit buy a 2ml bottle of pure rose essential oil to try. It will cost you anything between £15 – £20. If you find a cheap bottle it is not pure rose oil. If you find a cheap product with ‘rose’ in, it may be synthetic. Or, a tiny bit of rose has been added so they can say rose has been added on the label!! If you are buying it simply for the smell that is fine. But, if you are buying it for the many therapeutic qualities then it will not have any!! Once it arrives pop a few drops in a bath. Or, if you have a fragrance free lotion you like, add some to that lotion, mix well and use it on your body. Or, as it is valentine’s day and very soon Mother’s day, put some drops in a base oil and ask someone you love to massage it in your body….Enjoy!!
