Welcome VOA listeners!

I got a call the other day from a representative at 'Voice of America'. For those of you not familiar with this organization, here's a quote from their website:

The Voice of America, which first went on the air in 1942, is a multimedia international broadcasting service funded by the U.S. Government through the Broadcasting Board of Governors. VOA broadcasts approximately 1,500 hours of news, information, educational, and cultural programming every week to an estimated worldwide audience of 134 million people.

Their representative wanted to talk to me about soap. To me, that was exciting, I'm always happy to talk to anyone about soap! It turns out VOA wanted to do a quick broadcast to listeners worldwide on how soap is made. My blog was mentioned (mostly because of my "Why Lye" post, see link below).

Anyway, welcome VOA listeners! I hope you visit my blog on occasion. After the first of the year, I want to post some more educational information about soap. But in the mean time, check out some of my older posts:

• Our TV spot - See a soap making demo I did for NCTV

• Why Lye? - An article on the use of lye (sodium hydroxide) in soap

I have other articles that I posted in another venue and I need to add them to my blog. One of the articles is called 'Scent Sense: Essential Oils versus Fragrance Oils'. In it, I write about the difference between the two and why I prefer one over the other.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Feel free to comment if you have any questions and I'll get back to you.
