Awesome Avocado Soap

What was your inspiration?

Avocado is one of my favorite foods. It is a "superfood" bursting with vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are not only incredible for the inside of our bodies, they are outstanding for our skin as well. Honestly, one of the best things you can do is open up an avocado, smash up the pulp and put it on your face or hair. It sounds gross, but it makes you soft as butter.

What are you most proud of?

I love how the colors are perfectly even on each side of the bars of soap. I also love how I matched the green and yellow colors of the inside of an avocado.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take the Sensuous Self-Made Soap workshop and learn how to make awesome, nourishing, hand-made soap!!! It feels like heaven on your skin!
