when making lavender soap, less is MORE...and cuter..
here is the secret..I usually charge for this info...add the lavender buds at the very end before pouring into your mold..then stir it around while in the mold..just before you add the buds..run a rolling pin over them to crush them..this releases the oils faster, so you need less of it!
