Well, today I was in there again. Most of you know I make my own soap and I use the hot process of making it. But with winter here and NOT wanting to have to mix the lye indoors, I decided to try a new recipe; using goat's milk melt & pour base. Not only did I feel this was less of a health hazard right now, but it seems _so simple_. Last week when I was out, I headed _WAY OVER_ to the craft store and bought the goat milk melt & pour base, plus some shea and olive oil melt & pour base. I also picked up some _coloring_ (you'll see why on the second soap recipe). Plus I had set up some mustard seeds on Monday to make my own gourmet mustard. We are having corned beef sandwiches on grilled bread for dinner and I wanted to _dress up_ the sandwiches a little bit. https://steemitimages.com/DQmUio9anasL7NXTchZ4yL53YUaFkZm6EFXQV2GBksLQ1nA/7.gif _____ ## EASY Homemade DIY Melt & Pour Soap ## _____ ### First recipe is Oatmeal Honey Goat Milk ### ____ 1-lb Any melt & pour base soap (goat's milk, shea butter, olive oil) 3/4 cup oats 1/2 Tsp Tea Tree Oil 2 Tbls honey 10 drops Bergamot Essential oil ![22.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUzbLbkLGvcFQqFyG7bE5tRZgYveS5nExSYWC2YhWYCbS/22.jpg) _____ _____ ![1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeuKxYoFejpGSJZPNwvKZ7g7uLcupbiTaybtqn378oAag/1.jpg) _Gathering supplies_ _____ Melt the base according to manufacturer's directions (30 seconds to start in microwave, then in ten seconds intervals until completely liquified.
