Humpday Tutorial | Handmade Soaps with 100 Layer Cake

I love the idea of having soaps made for special occations!  In fact, my mom makes handmade soaps and for my Bridal Shower last summer, she made a variety of natural soaps for all of my gals. They were a smash, because everyone loved the natural textures and scents!  So, when I found this tutorial, I instantly fell in love because it hit home for me.  I really wanted to share this from 100 Layer Cake (the giveaway has already passed, sorry) so you can make your own soaps at home!
