This is one of my favorite holidays. A day where a person can be as creative as they want.
Here is a website that has a directory of Haunted Places. You can check your area for a fun place to go on the 31st.
Also, here is an interesting article about the case that inspired "The Exorcist".

I wonder how police on bikes arrest people.
"Alright, get in the basket."

Homemade Glycerin Soap

10/24/2013

 
Picture

You know me, all-about-the-homemade.

This one is kind-of fun, especially around the holidays, and so easy!

Ingredients

Glycerin
Petroleum jelly
A mold




Liquid food coloring
Scented oils *optional*

Textures *optional*
–sold in large blocks at crafts stores  
–large jar
–A clean milk or juice carton can work. I will be using this mold as my example. (The carton should be made of cardboard, so you can tear it from the solid soap)
–Or ice cube tray
–Or a candy mold
                                                                                                  
–Like vanilla, cocoa butter, evergreen, lilac, sage. But not all together :)
–fine glitter, fine sand, crushed oatmeal, potpourri  

Directions

-Cut the top of the milk carton off, wash it thoroughly, and coat the inside of the carton with petroleum jelly. Be sure to coat the corners.
-To melt glycerin, cut them into smaller cubes to fit in a microwave safe bowl. Heat glycerin on high in the microwave, stirring at intervals every 15 seconds until it is completely melted.
-Start with one or two drops of food coloring, and stir thoroughly. Use something like a coffee stirrer. Gradually add the drops until you get the desired color.
-Pour the melted glycerin into the milk carton. Tap gently to make sure there are no bubbles trapped in the carton. Let it cool completely for about 2 hours. Tear the cardboard away when soap is set and using a bench scrapper, slice the block into individual bars.

If you want layers like the bars above; cut the carton long ways. Make your 2 types of soaps and let them set in stages in the carton so they stay separated when the soap solidifies. For example, the soap above probably took a total of 6 hours to solidify, 2 hours for each layer.

Optional Stuff*

Picture
-After you add the food coloring, you could then add, ¼ tsp at a time scented oils. Stir thoroughly. You could also use lemon or orange zest to add a scent. Or small amounts of heavy cream.
-If you add a heavy substance like oatmeal or sand, let the soap set a bit, so the added ingredients do not sink to the bottom of the mold. And gently stir the ingredients through the soap.


Picture
-Also, you could add small amounts of fine glitter. Stir thoroughly.
The way they made this flame effect was to let both yellow and red soaps cool quite a bit before pouring the red onto the yellow in the mold. And then carefully dipping a knife through the red into the yellow, to make "flames" into the yellow soap.

-You can choose also sorts of items for this  next option.
Picture
You could take fine sand, or oatmeal, or sesame seeds, or stripped fresh evergreen leaves, or even powder cinnamon, black lava sand; 
*Either mix it through the soap or
*Heavily coat the petroleum jelly on the inside of the carton with it. Then, pour the glycerin into the carton and let it dry. When you peel away the carton the soap will be coated with a cool scrubbing agent.

Ancestry in the USA

10/21/2013

 

This is interesting, for those of you interested in ancestry...

Like many Americans, I'm a mutt. I'm a hodge-podge of many ethnicities and religions,
and I don't really prescribe to any. But it is interesting to study how these many different backgrounds have now melted into the average-joe-American.
Plus, living all over the country like I have, can be fascinating to see how each township atmosphere can differ. From New England to the South to the West, each has it's own vibe all rooted in it's ancestry.

The Daily Mail Online out of UK, put out an article about the ethnicities in counties with in the US, according to the 2000 census. It's an nice read.
