FEATURED VIDEO

5 lb Soap Loaf Unmolding & Cutting

Instagram post 2215042797773678080_490518577

My first YT vid of 2020 over in my biolink ! - For my soap and ASMR lovers 💜

Happy New Year IG fam!! I closed out last year with a great deal of reflection and intention setting for this new year. My personal year number for this year is 3, and for me that means a year filled with expansion, creativity, compassion and connection!

With that being said, I'm looking forward to sharing more of my creative side this year and I'd like to start by sharing this unmolding and cutting video I recorded of a 5 lb all-natural soap loaf I made. I started learning how to make soap 2 years ago when I was in a place of rediscovery and it ended up being an amazing therapeutic practice for me. Plus the scientist side of me couldn't help but get into the details of saponification 😄 (the chemical reaction to make soap). P.S. If you're interested in learning how to make soap, I included links to all the books, materials and tools I've used so far in my soap making journey in the YT vid description!

Are there any creative projects you're immersing yourself in this year? I'd love to hear all about it!

No matter what you have on your plate, try to take the time to create for YOU! Try something new that you've been putting off for the longest. You owe it to yourself to do something that makes your heart smile. 💜

I've recently moved to Mexico (you can check out my travel page @nativewander for updates!) and I was so happy to come across a beautiful crystal and jewelry making shop here! I've had these rose quartz crystals for a while from a broken bracelet and picked up some supplies here to turn it into a necklace. Thanks to some lovely folks on YouTube for sharing some wire wrapping tutorials @wiredandstoned !

So I kind of fell in love with the color of this Tombow dual brush pen today while practicing my brush lettering 😊 .

Took advantage of the beautiful weather today and painted some watercolor washes outside. I also recorded a quick video clip showing you how I did this one! I used Peerless Watercolor sheets for this one because I just love how pigmented their colors are and how smoothly they blend together! Video coming right up in the next post 😄

You can't let the fear of making mistakes or failing prevent you from starting (insert that idea/dream you have but just haven't acted on yet). Just go for it and trust me, you will learn what you need to learn along the way! .

Creating watercolor wash backgrounds for some upcoming lettering pieces. I love how unpredictable yet beautiful watercolor blending can be! .

You can't let fear hold you back from shining your light!

I am currently obsessed with watercolors! Used my @silhouette.inc cameo to make a triangle stencil that I then used to create the pattern for this fun notecard I painted .

Experimenting with distress inks from @ranger_ink and added an embossed sentiment in white embossing powder for a cute and simple thank you card
