    It’s officially spooky season, y’all — and the Dirty Heifers are showing up in full costume! 🐮🎃

    Along the way, they tackle everything from recipe-sharing etiquette to melt and pour magic, talk about what makes a soap ostentatious (yep, that’s the Word of the Week), and swap stories about the wins — and fails — of creative soap making.

    The episode wraps up with the first-ever Heifers’ Choice Awards, where the ladies crown their favorite fall soap creations and celebrate the wild talent in the handmade soap community.
