Sunday was productive!

I had an awesome Sunday. I got piles done, getting up early to get straight in to my soap making which I had been planning on doing all week.

I needed to buy a few pieces of kit to make the soap including a digital scales and a thermometer. I had a regular old fashioned scales but after using the digital one I can honestly say it is invaluable.

Here's a pic of the utensils and also the ingredients.


The soap is now in the mould (a shoe box) and has to be left for 24 hours. After that I will cut it in to bars and then leave for about 4 weeks to fully cure and saponify. 

The next thing I did was drop 5(!) bags of clothes and kitchen items to the charity shop after a big Marie Kondo clear out. I'm sure charity shops are seeing lots of donations at this time due to the popularity of her show on Netflix.

The charity shop we went to was in Rathmines and across the road from The Pot Bellied Pig so went over there for brunch after the drop off.



I had the Eggs Benedict which was very good while Ciaran had The Hog which was essentially the full Irish.

After that, we had a browse in the Swan Centre stopping in at Tiger where we got some art supplies.

When we got home we watched two episodes of Schitts Creek on Netflix - it's sooo good!

Then we did laundry and then we started another Marie Kondo clean up!!

By 4.30pm we had another two bags so we quickly dropped back to Rathmines and got the bags dropped off just as the show was closing at 5pm.  There was some good stuff in these bags, including some brand new never worn clothes with tags on. Get to St Vincents shop in Rathmines, if you are interested!!

And then home again where we made Keto Pizza base and then chilled for the evening.

How was your Sunday?  What did you get up to?!
