My printer is starting to sell her goat milk (for the first time), and asked if I wanted to buy it for my soaps. I've been using powdered since I sold my herd several years ago. So I'd love to have fresh again. However, I don't know what is a fair price anymore and doesn't either. She said that...

I remember reading quite some time ago, something about using lecithin in soapmaking. So, of course I bought a pound of lecithin powder. Now, I have no idea whatsoever what to do with it, lol. Any ideas? I tried melting it down with oils, but it doesn't melts so well :? Thanks!

Holy Smokes! :shock: Those are gorgeous!! Absolutely stunning!

I started using about a 1/2 teaspoon ppo of bentonite clay in all my essential oil and citrus scented soaps a few months ago. So far I've had excellent results with the fragrance sticking using this method. And the clay adds to the lather, plus it a bit cheaper than some of the other clays.

Wow :shock: That is a seriously gorgeous series of soaps! Your colors are beautiful. and I too love your purple mountain :-)

Thanks agriffin :-) I just ordered a pumpkin pie sample from Natures Garden. Will test it as soon as it get here and pass on the info. Look forward to hear your results :)

I desperately need a good pumpkin FO. One that doesn't fade in CP. Or morph in B&B products. I've tried WSP and was not impressed.

Pumpkin Lavender? Seriously? *insert puking smiley* LOL

I had not thought to check the weight. You could be right.

IDK, it almost looks like a whipped soap (nizzy style). But even my whipped soaps come out shapped rectangular like my mold. Hum? Not sure....but it sure is gorgeous :)

I gave this method a try this afternoon. It was unbelievably easy! I used shreds from my mixed shreds bucket so it was a combo of different soaps (milk, silk & various oils/butters). The result was very similar to MDL's first batch with the milk and/or silk particulates floating on top. So I...

I'm so thrilled that many of you are trying these. And your results are fabulous! Beautiful & festive looking! I just think that these are such a fun, easy project to make and great sellers. A great filler product for your table when you have a show too. Glad everyone is enjoying them :)

I'm a MAC user/lover. But I ended up getting a basic laptop for travel and such. I didn't have my laptop but a few hours before I downloaded SM3! I absolutely LOVE that program. You don't need to have and internet connection except for the initial download and for occasional updates :)

Finally finished cleaning/reorganizing the shop and was so looking forward to doing "something/anything". So I decided to do a batch of Pumpkin hazelnut bath bombs. Darn if they didn't turn into Bath Blobs instead :shock: I'm so disappointed :( Oh well, I think tomorrow I'll work on some...

Oh My! they are absolutely gorgeous :shock: Kudos and pats on the back to you :D Might I ask what kind of colorants you used?

Wow, some people really do suck! I'm so sorry. I've always been very paranoid about this happening to me. So I went to a restaurant supply store and got one of those small waist aprons with the pockets. I think it only cost me $3. I just put my sales book, pen and all my cash in the...

Really? Everyone at our house loved them. And my son in law took a jar to work and all his co-workers that took them home had rave reviews about them. They certainly are not for a deep/heavy kind of exfoliating that you would get with most jar scrubs. But they are nice for a quick, light...

Woohoo! Congrats & Blessing to you and the new family :)

Thanks everyone. I'm overwhelmed by all your kind comments. My daughter and I had so much fun making these and loved the end results in the shower. We might even be addicted to them now, LOL. Even her husband loved them in his shower and took a jar to work to use next to the sink for his...

That would be a perfect pan for doing the cubes in Holly. Please come back and post pics if you do these so we can see how pretty yours are. You will have so much fun doing them :) Blessed Be, Donna
