So I have every sympathy for any part of the country, topping 40C, or more. <br /><br />As always, lovely soap making Chel. I'm sure your son will enjoy his, especially at his new digs. It's a little piece of home.

It's cooler here today....not cool, just a few degrees cooler, which does make a difference between the fan making a cool breeze, or just stirring the hot air. <br /><br />Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-683910789712234152019-01-20T07:33:02.994+10:002019-01-20T07:33:02.994+10:00Beautiful soaps Chel.

It must be the combo of oils that agree with your skin. It is nice to be able to make a hard soap too so I might experiment with the salt soap one of these days too.

Oh my goodness they are lovely. I have psoriasis and have only used coal tar shampoos for a very long time. If I ever used normal shampoo I ended up with the itchiest head and scabs forming on my scalp. Nice!!! I had tried to use my plain coconut and olive oil soap and had the same thing happen. I've been using the soap sticks for two weeks. I had my hair cut today and my hairdresser commented on how good my scalp was. I am hooked on this soap. Lilies salt soap is still drying off but it is one hard soap. Will be interesting to see how it goes once we start using it towards the end of Feb. I love the colour mix you have going on in your soaps. It looks so pretty.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-2356727573755069662019-01-18T19:16:56.461+10:002019-01-18T19:16:56.461+10:00Joan, 41C is just too hot to handle I must say.

Thankfully here on top of the Toowoomba Range it doesn't usually get as hot as in the valleys nearby but anything over 30C was rare when I first came here in the early seventies.

I had the air-conditioner on for the first time this month on Wednesday. However I had to turn it off for a while as the power dropped. I have noticed the power dropping several times over the last couple of weeks. The fans slow down and the lights dim.
