hey guys
cabbie here and my first day back making
soap from our vacation and so I thought
I would do and I've been wanting to do
it so I had a suggestion from somebody
local I asked you know what kind of
stuff they would like to see it an
upcoming show or and something for dogs
was suggested so I've had these molds
for like a really long time and I've
never used them but just kind of sat on
my shelf I think they're probably one of
the only molds I haven't used but
they're I can't tell you where I got I
think I got them like a really long time
ago from Brambleberry
they're the hard clear plastic molds in
there they have the little puppy dog
prints so that's what I'm gonna use
today I have two of them and I'm gonna
use those to make my dog soap now I did
some research and found that pretty much
any cold process soap can be used on
your dog it was suggested to add shea
butter to make it a little more
conditioning so I do have shea butter in
my recipe and I figured with spring and
summer coming there's gonna be a lot of
insects around trying to get at your
pets so I through my research I also
found that you can use essential oils do
your research though to see which ones I
am using lavender and lemongrass now
those are proven to help deter bugs and
mosquitoes and the such so I'm not using
a lot and my recipe probably got like
point eight ounces of each blended so
not a lot but
would not use fragrance oil on a pet so
just keep that in mind when you do your
research or when you make your own soap
bars up just to research how your
essential oils react with your pet they
say they're not good if applying
essential oils directly to your pet or
if they ingest them can be dangerous but
since they're in soap it's perfectly
fine so watch your usage levels and
which ones you use is my only advice
there do your research
ok I'm not your research go to I'm just
giving you what I found and you can take
it there on your own self so I'm gonna
get started I'll tell you what I've got
in here for these these two trays and I
had like I said I don't use these yet so
we'll see how far my recipe goes and
filling these but I've got in this
recipe I'm super fatty at a 5% I'm using
twelve point one six ounces of water
four point four eight ounces of lye so
I've got that there and it's cooled down
for my oils I'm using one point six
ounces or five percent castor oil eight
ounces or 25% coconut oil fourteen point
four ounces or 45% olive oil four point
eight ounces or 15% of palm oil and
three point two ounces or 10% of shea
butter so that's my recipe and then like
I said I blended about 0.8 ounces each
lavender oil and lemongrass essential
oils so so that's what we've got there
I'm gonna pour my my in now and get to
get ready to mix this all up it's a very
simple recipe there's no colors why do
you need one for a pet product anyway
right so we're just leaving it natural
and going with it like that
so we'll get these blended up to a light
tres and pour into my molds
[Music]
[Applause]
I've got a hand stirrer my fragrances in
look at that creamy color from the shea
butter it's wonderful
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
now these are as you can tell these are
in little squares rows of three that's
how I'm going to sell them is a row of
three that way if you have a small dog
you could cut off one bar one little
square if you have a medium dog - and a
large dog you could hang on to all three
while you wash them depending on how big
your dog is so I figured that's a good
way to go and I will be making more of
these I just have two shows coming up
here in Cornwall in May one the
beginning of May right before Mother's
Day so I'll be selling those Mother's
Day sets with the lavender soaps which I
need to make more of those and lavender
heart-shaped bath bombs so we will
actually I'm gonna get a bigger spatula
so I'll be selling those I'll be selling
my watermelon rose and blossoms and
blueberries so I have those packaged
together in a cute cute package anyway
I'm gonna pour in my fragrance and then
we'll pour this into the molds it smells
wonderful I love lavender and lemongrass
so if you didn't see any of my pictures
on Instagram or my little videos when I
was on vacation we were so excited we
got to see plenty of our Turtles on the
beach we were staying at they come up
every day pretty much like clockwork and
they would lay on the beach for hours on
end so we got to see those and swim with
the turtles we went on a whale watching
tour which was fantastic we could see
the whales from our condo but we went
out on a big catamaran and we got to see
them up close it was
fantastic and then we had seen posts on
the condo website before we left to go
on vacation about the seal who had been
visiting so my husband is like I hope I
get to see the seal on the last day of
our vacation the seal finally came and
hopped up on the beach you saw him in
the waves he was playing with this I
think it was a puffer fish that he was
eating but he was playing with it first
anyway he was out there so we watched
him forever we're like how is he gonna
come and he's he gonna come in and
finally he rode the waves on up to the
shore and laid on the beach I'm telling
you he came in early afternoon I think
mid afternoon and the sunset he was
still sleeping on the beach so sometime
during the night he left but it was
fantastic my husband was so happy okay
so anyway we're gonna fill this one a
bit and go over to the next so I'm not
sure how full I can get these sorry if
I'm in your way here okay so I think
that's good and then I'll top this one
off perfect and then we'll just kind of
tap him down anyway just love the fact
like I said that we got to see our seal
there on the last day coming home was
brutal the jet lag even though we spent
the night in LA on the way back but it
was still it was so hard to get back in
the swing of things my husband's still
with the time change isn't back to his
full swing yet so we'll get there anyway
so oh I do desperately need to make more
soap my shelves are getting empty I'm
getting ready to do those two shows so
so let's see shimmy those down and make
sure everything's like so and I'm gonna
use these on my dogs in between groomer
visits this summer and we'll see we'll
see how they do I think they're gonna be
really awesome
so for pets so you try it I'll put the
recipe again in the box below and let me
know how you like it use your molds
I don't think Brambleberry like I said I
think that's where I got these and I
don't I didn't see them on their website
anymore
mmm excuse me so I don't think they
carry these anymore you still might be
able to find different paw soap molds I
know they have them in silicone which is
is easier anyway I'm gonna let these sit
till tomorrow and then to help get them
out of the molds I'm gonna pop them into
the freezer for maybe an hour or two and
and that makes it easier to pop them out
of these molds so anyway we'll come back
and we'll pop them out and cut them into
rows and they'll be ready to go I am
gonna make more of these before our
first show so anyway this is just a
small batch for now and we'll be back to
cut them and or pop them out of the mold
and cut them so we'll be right back hey
guys were back and I just took these out
of the freezer they've been in for a
couple hours and I flipped the molds
over and they pretty much released right
on their own so oh my gosh those are so
cute they're so cute
yeah see if I can flip this over your
way look at how adorable these soaps are
I just love this mold they're so cute
I'm going to see
see I'm trying to think of how I'm gonna
package these whether I'm gonna go this
way I think I will let me see I'm gonna
use my wire cutter and go right down the
center not the straightest but I figure
it's easier than using my chopper my
hand chopper not chopper chopper anyway
here we go
aren't they cute they're so cute then
we'll do this one enough I'll trim them
up here with the with my what am I
trying to say my peeler so that the
edges will be nice and smooth cuz
they're a little roughed so there's that
one they smell wonderful so I said just
tidying these up a bit
they're very cold let me just pop them
out but
anyway kind of get this evened out here
like so there's the other one
and this is how I'm going to package
them so they show just adorable just
trying to smooth this out so aren't they
cute I just love these little paws so
anyway I'll do that one in a second here
you need to see me do all of them but
anyway I do appreciate you hanging out
watching the video there goes my dogs
it's garbage day so must be another
truck anyway if the recipe a try let me
know how you like it
these are gonna sit and cure for four
weeks before I sell them at my first
show so and I can't wait to use them on
my dogs this summer so thanks again for
