Target market is another issue I have been thinking about. I have been to the two festivals I listed above the apple one would probably be more my target market than the pig one, but there is a soaper already signed up for the pig one, which helps me to think that I might have some target...

Oh my goodness! I had thought about doing different scents and trying to figure out if there was a way to make something that isn't MP that looks like an apple pie that I could slice into pieces and getting apple shaped molds and buying the baskets that people put fruit they are picking and and...

Also, I am trying to find alcohol in a higher content because I have gotten ash on every batch I have made. I was really happy to find out it was ash. This batch had ash on it and the way the ash looked made me think I might have DOS. I am really happy that was not the case. Ash is a lot...

The Castile was the first batch that I made. I did that because I was nervous about working with lye and wanted it to be as easy, with as few worries and distractions as possible to give me a chance to see what working with lye was like. It was so easy, I did another batch, which my husband...

I am not selling yet. I am not sure if I will or won't. I live in an area which has lots of shows all year round. It is a touristy area, so there are lots of festivals and concerts. There is one particular festival that I think that I might like to eventually try to get into. I wouldn't try...

About three weeks ago I made my first batch of soap. Castile. I have not touched it since. I was disappointed with a partial gel and learned that the freezer is my friend. I was also having trouble finding palm oil and Hazel gave me a basic recipe that I could try to make that required no palm...

BBM For some reason I get this a lot, lol! I don't think you should be sorry either. This has been fun, at least for me. And look how much you learned...that you probably didn't want to and never thought you would. I am fascinated with people. Not only what our bodies do, but also all...

Thank you Neeners. I will be sure to check when I am ready. For now, I am just trying to come up with a good soap recipe. At this point, I am only 5 batches in and 3 are Castile...it's the hubs that is in such a rush. :crazy:

OMG!! That would be so much fun!!!!! :thumbup:

I have actually worked with the body farm before. Morbidly enough, I wanted to go there, but they don't really just let people in willy nilly. I was trying to get extra credit for school. But the lawyers that I work with have had to go Dr Vass to ask questions about two cases we worked on. I can...

My husband and I just had a baby and he doesn't want me to go back to work, so he dropped some money in a separate bank account for my soap and took the list of things I wanted to buy for a HOBBY I really wanted to TRY (without even asking or discussing it) and went out and bought enough oils to...

It might have been in Denmark. There is one that is really old that was found in Denmark that was a woman, but I don't know if they gave her a name. If so, it would probably be "The Bog Lady." They call them bog people or bog bodies. I think that she was like 10,000 years old. There are also...

I have known about the bee problem for years and have raised my kids to not kill any bees they see and to just leave them alone. They know all about the bee problems. I am a total tree hugger and it really broke my heart that there was no way to save them, but I certainly was not allowing my...

Which is yet another reason I never would have made it in the Project Mayhem/Paper Street Soap Company house. Not only could I not deal with making soap out of people, I just can't seem to keep my mouth shut. Another prime example below. Totally awesome that you knew this Neeners! Sadly, I...

Not only did the Nazi do it, (which, not to sound completely morbid, considering the photos I have seen of the people they killed, I can't imagine there was any fat let in them and it must have taken a lot of them to make anything) but an artist did it in recent years with his own fat from lipo...

The shipping label wasn't not cut off of the box and the item I was waiting on was in there (albeit, covered with citric acid). I just got off the phone with them again and they don't want pictures and they told me to keep what was left in the bag of citric acid with their apologies. They...

I wouldn't expect it to. I have that kind of luck. I can't even figure out how it happened. There is a hole punched in the front of the bag, but I didn't order anything that I can think of that would have punched a hole in it. Especially the way everything was packaged and there is no...

All I can do is laugh at this point. I just got my box and it was like Christmas morning when it finally arrived. I opened it up and pulled out the first bag...that was covered in citric acid...in fact, everything was covered in citric acid...except the inside of the bag, labeled "Citric Acid."...

Still super new, but this is my experience: I don't do anything for my Castile except put it in the lye calculator and superfat at 7% and I haven't had any problems like this. My water is the normal 38% that Soapcalc gives without changing it. I have made 3 batches in the last three weeks. I...

I just got off the phone with them and when I explained the situation, the lady that answered was completely stumped. She went and talked to someone and it turns out that the item was on backorder, but it came in before the order shipped, so it should be in my ox when it gets here this...
