I’ve studied at CSUF as a double major for both Japanese and Mathematics. With this, I hope to teach either Mathematics or English as a second language depending on the specific needs of the school I’ll be teaching at. 

My biggest hobbie is soap making. I love creating homemade soaps, lotions, conditioners, and other bath products. I’ve spent a lot of my free-time in the past few years learning new techniques and recipes for CP soap. I collect a variety of extracts and essential oils, and awesome ingredients to better my products. Although I do sell the things I make, it’s only a hobby and not a business. ]]> 2019-01-27 05:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324636071 shi_dirschel https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324636649 Soap Queen TV was my first experience with making soap and the inspiration that led to half a decades worth of mistakes, trials, and great projects.


This is my favorite place to go for tips, tricks and new ideas.]]> 2019-01-27 05:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324636649 shi_dirschel https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324636812 Here’s an example of a soap made with a technique called the Clyde Slide. This particular soap was featured by Brambleberry and the tutorial can be found at

It’s actually a very challenging technique. It requires the soap batter to be extremely thin. The problem with that is that many fragrance oils and heat can cause soap batter to thicken up to a pudding like state that is unpourable. It also thickens with time, so this has to be done fast! ]]> 2019-01-27 05:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324636812 shi_dirschel https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324637190 When we were still dating, Cason and I took a trip to visit my mom in Minnesota.

This girl uses a PVC pipe to create a swirled moon at the center of a dark sky with stars and flowers at the top. I couldn’t imagine ever actually using this soap. It’s too pretty. ]]> 2019-01-27 05:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324637461 shi_dirschel https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324637977 2019-01-27 05:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324637977 shi_dirschel https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324638271 Not as photogenic as a professionals, but here’s a quick picture of soap I made for a charity event last summer. ]]> 2019-01-27 05:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324638271 shi_dirschel https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324638574 I had the opportunity to study abroad and spent 14 months living in Tokyo, Japan. While studying at Waseda University, I learned to squish into a packed train during rush hour, how to order food at a restaurant, where to find trashcans (surprisingly hard), and how to find niche shops for crafts and such. 

I couldn’t recommend studying abroad enough. It’s was an amazing experience. ]]> 2019-01-27 05:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324638574 shi_dirschel https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324638883 2019-01-27 06:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/shi_dirschel/z46049y972lh/wish/324638883
