    Excellent homemade gifts for family and friends. Or as gifts for the mail man, your hairdresser, etc. I know my big thing is to give holiday cookies to my mail man, my hair stylist, the girl who does my nails, etc. However, this is a good replacement for cookies! I would rather make homestyle gifts for family and friends. It is much more thoughtful and can be easier on your wallet with the price of everything going up! Jill Gross

    Hi there, thank you! You can use botanicals in mp soap. The issue with this can be not all of them work great in mp soap. Some of them just turn brown or black. Like lavender, it turns black in mp and cp soap. The flowers used here will change color a little bit but not to a brown color.

    Hi A.B. you can use lemongrass essential oil, I would use that on on the calendula one. You can also use lemon essential oil. If you use orange essential oil on the orange slice one, it will give your soap and orange hue. Lavender is always a nice one in soap as well.

    I'm mostly a cp soaper and I do dabble in m&p molding. I'm really not a lover of botanicals in soap. I don't mind a few maybe but not slices of oranges or big pieces of chamomile etc only those that may serve for exfoliation. Yes they are look great and these ones are very pretty but for function, I'm not a fan. I'd rather have m&p embeds that don't have to be picked out of my soap in order to use it. That's me though, I'm sure lots of people like them. 🤷‍♀️
