Home-made Liquid Soap

This is quick and easy to make, it turns into a kind of mousse. Its only pink 'cause Bec added a bit of pink food colouring! Just put some Lux flakes into a bowl, pour boiling water over and stir. Whizz up with a stick blender (these are one of the best small appliances to have in the kitchen - great for soups too, as there's no pouring hot liquids into a blender) Add colour and essential oil if you like, and leave to thicken. We had to thin it down a couple of times, so it ended up making heaps, which I kept in a spare jar and then use to top up bathroom/kitchen containers as required.
