Goat Head Soap

I realized that I have quite a few soap fragrances that I have never used or some that a bit is left in the bottle, but there is not enough for a full batch.  What better way to use those up than making small batches of soap with them?  So, I decided on the goat head soap molds for this project since they are well..goats.  The current batch is made with red velvet cake fragrance.  Next batch, who knows?  This is so much fun for me because it is a chance to make a small batch of soap and use something new, different, or just know that I am putting my supplies into my product and they are not just sitting unused on a shelf! 

I have a number of soap molds from my early days of soap making, but the goat head is probably the most appropriate one I own.  My kids love the shaped soap - it is not so boring to them as just a rectangular shaped soap.  Grownups do not have to be so amused hopefully, but for kids the shaped soap is great fun.  Kids also like colored soap, but I do not like to put too much color in my soap unless it is natural. 

And I guess the point I am making here is have some fun in whatever you are doing.  Make your own fun, if need be.  It is very healthy and leads to other ideas as well.  The goat head soap may become a best seller and it may not.  If I have to, I’ll just give it away (that is fun too!).  I sometimes forget to have fun and everything becomes such a serious matter.  I am taking small steps and learning to have a bit of fun again.  It’s ok to do that, and everyone profits, especially those around you!
