My musings today on the perfect vacation reminded me that we needed to finalize our Pearls of Sand collection.

We have the cream and sugar scrub done but I have admittedly been putting off the soap. Monoi is expensive and not always in stock and I was fearful of not only ruining a batch of soap but wasting this most magnificient smelling oil as well.

Our Pearls of Sand collection is naturally scented with Monoi de Tahiti Tiare. It works very well in cream and scrubs but is notorious for being hard to work with in soap as it wants to seize immediately upon introduction into the heated oils/water/sodium hydroxide mix.

After a bit of pondering we came up with a game plan and kept our fingers crossed as we commenced the soaping procedure.

It Worked!!!! We had to work quickly but we were able to introduce the Monoi into the mix without ruining the batch…..

And I am in heaven!!! This has got to be my most favorite of all scents..it is a true Polynesian Tiare fragrance.

The soap is heating and will be unmolded in 24 hours. It will be cut then set out to cure for 3-4 weeks. We will keep you updated on the progress of our Monoi soap. I am curious to see if the Monoi scent is as strong at the end of the curing process as it is now!

My husband and I are not big vacation takers….

oh…we take the occasional day or weekend Harley trip but we have never taken an exotic cruise or flown to some tropical destination. It just was never high on our ‘to do’ list.

I was sort of day dreaming this morning….as I look outside at the beautiful blue (vs. gray) sky…trying to think of the ultimate vacation spot.

If I had a choice (and two weeks!) I would LOVE to go to Tahiti. My idea of the ultimate vacation would be to spend two weeks in one of those huts out over the most beautiful water you have ever seen and not leave!!!! I can just picture myself sun tanning (with lots of sunscreen!) and every once in a while taking a dip to cool off!

Let us know what YOUR ultimate vacation spot would be.
