A Soapy adventure

I made two kinds of loofah soap today. :) The first kind is a red/orange and yellow mango soap. The second kind is a caramel colored-mint tea infused soap. I made the mango for me and the mint for the hubby. He has a slight obsession with mint soap.

Anyway, For the mold, I used my metal muffin pan. I had a natural oil (it was part of a sea-salt scrub I had) and I greased the pan with that, so the soap was easier to pop out. The yellow ones were prettier, but the mint ones turned out okay too. For the loofah, I just cut it into pieces and fit them into the muffin pan. I used Melt and Pour (M&P) glycerin soap, melted it in a pan, and added the scent/color/tea. Then I poured the light colored soap over the loofah first. I gave it a few seconds, and poured the darker color on top of it and let it mix in.

Here's how they turned out. :)
