Fall and winter are my favorite seasons for drinking espresso blends. Coffee shops always come out with seasonal blend like peppermint mocha, eggnog latte, or pumpkin spiced chai... total yum! When I found out that Majestic Mountain Sage came out with essential oil blend of Chai I just have to get a bottle of that! Unfortunately all that yummy sweet vanilla got lost in the making of cold process soap and all it's left is the spice and mostly anise. It would be totally fine if I wasn't expecting chai, but I am! I want my chai! All I really need is a straight up vanilla fragrance oil to sweeten it up but I don't have any. If you still don't know me yet, let me tell you one more time, I hate vanilla anything, don't even offer me vanilla ice-cream because I'll just give you a face! I know, I'm weird, can't help it. I'm fine with vanilla as an accent, but if I can tell it's vanilla, I don't want it. The point is, I do not have vanilla fragrance oil in my territory, so what to do to sweeten up this chai essential oil blend, I did buy a big bottle? I took out the box (yes, all my fragrance oils are in boxes cuz I ran out of cabinet space for all of them, I'm a fragrance oil junky) that contains all my foodie scents and I found Sweet Pumpkin Spice! Yes, this will do! I also used can pumpkin puree as an additive.
Now, I'm in season!
ha ha ha I am a FO junky too! Pumpkin Chai sounds yummy, and it is very fall/winter! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely and original soap! Do you still want to participate in the different olive oil soap experiment? Or maybe you already send me an email but under a different name? Drop me an email if you wish to participate, remind me you are Shieh designs... xoxo Jen

Pumpkin chai sounds awesome, it's pretty too. My FOs are all in a box too because I ran out of room for them! haha.
ReplyDeleteAren't we all FO junkies?! Gosh I just keep on wanting more. It's like a woman's closet, there's never enough pieces, can't find things to wear even though my closet is already full! :P
