Hello my name is David, I am a dad of 1 and I live in Hampshire.

In December 2004 I was suddenly struck down with Meningitis, which left me totally blind, since then my life has changed to say the least.

I now turn my own hands to making some fantastic soap loaves to keep me busy.

I currently have a number of tried and tested soaps, but I am always finding more and more combinations that get me excited.

From Koco cola, to raspberry and black pepper, and there are still many more out there...

How do I do it?

Of coarse due to my disability, I use a ready made soap base, as trying to measure it all out would be a task in it’s self..

Step one:

First I melt the base via the Microwave.

For this I cut the pre mixed mixture into chunks, and then place in a suitable jug.

Microwave on low power for 1min intervals until soap is liquid, being careful not to reheat.

Step two:

Add ingredients. You can try anything you like but in moderation. If using pure essential oils you need to add only 5ml-10ml.

Why not add Lavender seeds or orange peel. You may add food colouring if required.
