Caution, Caution, Caution
They say that accidents happen for a reason and I can't agree more. When it comes to making cold pressed soap, it is crucial to take care and weigh your ingredients carefully and be stringent in making and handling the lye solution in a safe manor. I am careful when using the lye solution but will put my hand up to say that I was very complacent when mixing my colourants when I prepared them. Why I thought a plastic cup could hold up a mini frother is anyones guess. Needles to say, the cup tipped over and colourant spilt over the floor, on the fridge and on me. My saving grace is that I hadn't added to colourant to the lye solution.
