I Started Making Organic Soaps
 

I love to make the designs and all the scents that I can put together for different molds. I found it to be one of my favorite invigorating hobby!Any pointers are always a plus:D

Great to find a hobby
 

Soap making is something one of my dauther's friends likes to do. It's great to have a hobby. I like to knit and crochet and write, but writing is harder these days.

Good luck with your soaps!!

Good for Cognitive
 

I did the soap making in the winter month's (depression is high).I love it is so relaxing and helps me with my cognitive impairments such as problem solving, Complex attention, and memory. I would not suggest doing it till after 9months of PCS.At first my hands would get a little tore up from doing stuff like working with a knife or hot stuff. No bad accidents just little cuts or burns.

Now it's spring and I started planting flowers and bulbs and moving on to my organic garden for veggies.

I learned the things you loved before to just put them in a box for awhile and one day you will be able to bring that box back out when that time comes.It will take time, but you will be able to return in the future to your hobby.:hug:

Gardening
 

In recent years I took to planting flower seeds. I have two small indoor greenhouse gardens for my impatiens (annual flowers). I found that planting seeds and watering the seedlings was something I could do while my brain is healing. All the lovely green and some blooms now is pure poetry to my eyes. The green is against the gray, cold, unspringlike weather we are experiencing here in Minnesota. (More snow coming)

Yes, I can put away other hobbies and must learn to be more patient in waiting for the right time to take them out again.

I am knitting though and that is a great sense of satisfaction.
Yes, it really is.

Blessings to you

soap?
 

I also make soaps along with a lot of other body and beauty producks,I have a question for you are you using essential oils or fragrense oils? fragrense oils are more iratating to the skin and take more to get the sent that you want,were as essential oils only take a few drops and are far less iratating for skin

I use 100% essential oils:D I mostly use the brand Now 100% essential oils
