Peppermint Soap! LOVE THIS!!!!!

This is my first time trying to grow anything - One thing I am trying is Mint :)
I have a planter box with Sweet Mint, Speariment, and Chocolate Mint (seriously - it smells like mint chocolate ice cream)

Monday I posted about making the easiest Soap Ever - And it really is :)

I have been thinking about all the different kinds of soap I could make, and my mind kept wandering back to my mint box, and the idea of a refreshing / invigorating soap, one that makes me happy and feel amazing - Mint Soap :) :) :)

I plucked 10 leaves of mint off my Sweet Mint Plant and use a micro plane to "grate up" the mint
I rolled the mint tight and grated it, it turned out to be the perfect size for what I was thinking :)

I melted 3 cubes from the soap block I got with my kit

I added 6 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil - I wanted it Strong :)
I added the Mint shavings and oil to the melted soap and stirred it up
Pour in Mold

Let it dry, unmold and Enjoy :)

Love this Soap - It is amazing and feels like no other soap I have ever used - It makes me so happy and smile when I use it!!! :) :)




** Side note this might be amazing if you used a clear glycerin base as well, it would be so cool to be able to see all the little mint pieces "floating" around and the whole leaf in the bar!!!
