Make your own soap?

[Nebulous]

Here's something peeps might have been doing in the 80s

Have you ever made your own soap? Would you?

The basic process of making soap is:

1. Mix water and lye, set aside to cool
2. Melt oils, set aside to cool
3. Blend lye water and oils to form a soap “batter”
4. Pour into mold and let harden for a day
5. Turn out of the mold, cut into bars and let cure for 2-3 weeks.

I definitely wasn’t making soap. I was too busy being a kid and creating mischief.

Wth? Why would we be making soap? I know we didnt have all this modern technology but we found ways to entertain ourselves and it wasnt by making soap. Did you take that from Martha Stewart??? Lol
