Soap Making Epic Fail

I was going to write today about making soap. At least that was the plan. Since I have never tried doing that, I thought that I would take pictures and blog about my first attempt and end the post with attractive pictures of home-made bars of soap lined up in a pretty row. Guess what happened” To say that it was a complete and total failure, would be the understatement of the century. The only thing I ended up making was a huge mess.

How could something as simple and every day, like soap, end up being such a total failure? I had a recipe for it. The recipe was guaranteed to “work every time.” I had watched so many videos on YouTube about soap making that I thought that I could do it in my sleep. I had all the right ingredients and tools for making it. I even had some high-tech stuff to make sure I did it correctly. Still it came out as a huge flop.

I guess the moral of this experience for me is this: Just because you think you can do something, have the correct tools, and watched others do it, doesn't mean that you will actually have the skill to able to do it. So practice, practice, practice now before you really need it.

Will I try making soap again? Yes! Will it be today? NO!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading. :-)
