@Dawni I've now used it in soap and lip balm.. I make a hand salve for my FIL who has psoriasis, and use other oils for that, but I'm seriously considering trying it out in a lotion bar!

Oh my goodness- that is simply to die for!! Lucky you!!!

@KiwiMoose So funny that you posted this, as I was just feeling the same way!! I've made/sold cleaning products for about 2 years now (selling since last year).. always said I had no interest in body care.. and then I moved to hard water land.. and wanted to make soap for myself, and gifts...

Stuck

Avocado oil is soooo good for the skin!! I've recently started using it in a number of recipes, and love it!

Oooh, looking forward to seeing your castile!! I have not got the patience for that!

Lost

Lol!! I started reading that thread, and got a little confused. Maybe now that I have a few batches of CP soap under my belt, I will look again. Cheers! I think it was @Misschief who suggested the cocoa powder... which I found after I made the soap. I'm still pretty pleased with how it turned...

Hungry, lol!

I have sm3, but honestly find it so time consuming! I like being able to see little details though.. maybe I should be more patient- and I definitely wish I had it when I first started out!

Oh, nooo!!! I've done things like print out recipes, then lose them before I can write down what they are.. but never accidentally erased anything. Of course, I also save everything to a folder in my Google Drive (because I've lost so much when a computer dies, haha!)

White background are tough, especially with dslr cameras - I always found that my background looked grey... now, I do a quick shoot on my kitchen counter, with a prop lately, and use the app snapseed if I need to adjust anything... and the frameurlife app to make my photos Instagram friendly...

Thank you!! I'm surprised that it wasn't a darker colour, given that I used Guiness.. I'll have to look at some natural additives next time, maybe.. As for the smell, it's pretty awesome, and "man" approved! (Had hubby smell the EO blend, without telling him what I was up to,haha!)

That looks so fabulous!! I really want to make a shave soap for the guys, but I can't find a recipe to start from that I like.. can I ask where you drew inspiration from?

@SoapAddict415 That's a sweet little package! And your labels took awesome!

I made a batch of Guinness soap the other day, and cut it today.. fragranced with sandalwood, for needle, and black pepper essential oils. Will be gifting it to the men in my life for Christmas, either a little note to say wait until the new year to use, as time got away from me, and my core...

It looks amazing!!!

Thanks, @Misschief - now I need to make more shelf space, for another ingredient, lol!!!

I have a big wooden table that was left in the house we bought this year - I brought a glass table top from our old home, and placed it over the wood - it's heat resistant, and sooo easy to clean!!

@msunnerstood , I love that photo!! I've only made 3 batches of soap, so am intimidated by the idea of mixing colours.. yours reminds me of cotton candy, yum! I'm in the throes of holiday making - yesterday I made some paw wax for the four footers in various homes, and today, I will be making...
