But then I discovered something called 'Melt and Pour Soap Base' which is amazing and … [Read more...]

I never got around to making the candles so the rose petals have just been sat in my cupboard gathering dust until Miss Frugal came across them the other day.Naturally, the first thing she … [Read more...]
