Of Summer and Essential Oils Here in BC, we have been enjoying a heat wave. Most people are not having any fun, but us? We love it!! My soaping room is nice and cool, because it is in the basement. The house cools down nicely because we are 100 steps from the sea and we have 4 magnificent trees in the front yard. They keeps us cool in the summer and warm in the winter.![]()

My friends and customers, (same persons), have been asking me questions over time. Since it is interesting to them, I will answer some of them here.![]()

How do I decide the ingredients of my soaps?![]()

That is an easy one.![]()

My sisters once told me: We like Lemongrass and hemp seed oil in our soaps. Thus was born the Four Sisters soap. I have 4 sisters. I taught one to make soap and together, we developed the recipe. It has been a best seller ever since.![]()

Of spring and new beginnings. Because of the times we are now living, I have been contemplating a few things. Friends are following the site and I thought it was about time to share a few things.![]()

The year 2020 started for me in September 2018. That is when life played a trick on me that lead to major surgery in 2019. From October 2018 to March 14 2019, I thought I had a few months to live and life became magical. And precious. The tumor was benign, so all is well but the experience left me so mixed up it is only now that I can share a bit.![]()
![]()
The month I got sick, I had quit the market I belonged for 10 years. In November that year I took on a Christmas Fair to support a school music program. Making the soaps needed, I was wondering if that would be the last time. It got me to really examine the reason soaping was such a Joy for me.![]()

It was my journey is why. Nobody helped, I did it by myself. All the research, the trials and failures to the best soap in the #uncategorized
Of friends, sore body and CBD oil. As the country slowly comes out of pandemic mode, our Tai Chi sessions resumed last week. Yesterday was the first real lesson and I realized that I did not practice as much as I thought!!! My body is sore all over today and I am walking only because I used Shea-Mu on my legs. What a relief!!!![]()
![]()
We started the week end by having an overnight guess. It doesn't seem like much hey? But it is the first not in our circle friend to overnight in two years. It feels so lovely to open our house again!!![]()
![]()
The Tai Chi session was the best. But wow!! I really need to get with the program!! Practicing alone is not my favorite but I guess I will have to now. The body degrades too fast if neglected.![]()
![]()
As my readers, you all know I make a muscle rub. Shea-Mu. The first version only had Lavender Essencial oil and performed wonders for my customers. It never worked much for me. A few years back, I was gifted some Wintergreen Essencial oil. I researched #uncategorized

Welcome to Blue Libellule Welcome to Sheaqueen blog. We encourage our visitors to post comments to our blog, let us know how the products are working for you, and we also consider any suggestions you might have for new products. Thank you for visiting our blog and posting comments. Come back often for new posts. It’s celebration time!!! Our site is up!!!! We are still fixing all the bugs in it, but it is up!! And this is our first blog. We are so exited, it took us a while to decide the subject of our blog, but finally, we did. The first blog is all about the ingredients of our soaps. Or what we mean when we say our soaps and creams are natural. If you have surfed the net in search of natural products, you know that the meaning of “natural” depends on who is talking. At Blue Libellule, when we say “natural” it means this: If we cannot eat it, we do not use it. We are even in the process of switching to food grade essential oils.

You must all have seen the new fashion, the new "Green" way. Shampoo bars and Conditioner bars!! These are a new marketing plot. Smart marketing because it makes people feel the products are better for the planet since there is no plastic bottle. It is not quite true, but we all know marketers like to paint everything green.![]()

But because some of my customers really want no plastic bottles, I started to look into what we call syndet bars. Syndet is an acronim for #uncategorized

Today I made the Face Stone test batch and a hair conditioner bar test batch. I could not help myself and scented the hair conditioner with Lotus Essential oil. Have you ever heard of it? It is a new one on me and I have been testing it in CP soap. It does survives the lye!!! Alleluia, this Essential Oil smells like heaven people!!!! Seriously!!! I am in love with it. It is floral but not sweet. It is fresh and subtle. I could just wear it as perfume it is so lovely.![]()

I am testing these recipes for a private label client that wants to jump on the no packaging wagon. It will be a good product I think but will chime back as to what I think when I try them. There is some adventages in making test batches see?![]()

Getting ready to make the Blue Lotus soap. Swirling three colours. Natural, blue and copper mica.
Here the pictures. The EO does accelarate trace. From the cup to the mould was just a quick stir, like seconds and the soap is very thick.
Today was test day. I researched Blue Lotus EO but could not find any soaping tips. So I needed to restock my Four Sisters Soap and made a bit more to test the Blue Lotus.![]()
The scent is seriously DIVINE!!! And this test is to see if the lye eats it. I kept about 600g of traced soap and added my usual % and now we have to wait and see. Oh I hope it is not eaten by the lye!!! Fingers and toes crossed here!!! LOL!!!
I am exited now!!! Look what arrived today!!!! One kg of Blue Lotus Essential oil!!! Boy I hope it can be used in cp soap!!!!

Laundry soap making day!!![]()
Every year, I make a five gallon pail of liquid soap paste. I use free canola oil coming from a vegan restaurant now that we no longer have a kitchen at Tai Chi. ![]()
After the paste is saponified, I dilute enough as I need. Today is the day!!
Almost ready to cut!! The 100% coconut soap has to be cut before it gets hard. When the soap is hard, it will not cut, it will shatter like glass. So it is a game of wait long enough so you can cut but not too long so it will just break.
