    Ok, this is an odd question…..

    …but has anyone ever tried using cologne as a fragrance oil for lotion? My daughter is here and we’re wanting to make some lotion for her husband. He loves Polo cologne and we plan to get some for him…and then I thought, could we make Polo-scented lotion for him? I’ve honestly never considered...

    Fargo bound!

    I did have to stop for my cup of Caribou…..next time I’ll see if we can make it work to have one together! It’s been raining here in Fargo too, but it’s cold enough to remind me of why I’m glad I moved south. 😁 Thank you! It was a very nice ceremony, and the family - the grad, my daughter...

    Fargo bound!

    We’re on our way to Fargo, North Dakota (aka “up nort”) for my son’s college graduation. Today as we passed through the Twin Cities, in my mind I waved hello to @dibbles and @Zing! :goodbye1:Stay warm, guys! 🥶

    Soaping in the cold

    Is your garage insulated? If so, a space heater might help.

    I LOVE that song. Mama Cass and Karen Carpenter had two of the most beautiful voices ever.

    How much super fat, how do you decide?

    When I was in Germany earlier this year, I bought some soaps to try out of curiosity. I got them at little boutique-y/tourist-y type shops so have really no idea what the super fats are, or even what oils are in them (apparently their labeling laws are different than in the US….). So far I’ve...

    Zany's Murphys Oil Soap (Type)

    I love this! Thank you for sharing, @Zany_in_CO! One question, in the recipe you state “alcohol;” I’m assuming it’s isopropy? Does the strength matter (70%, 91%; 99%)?

    What Bath & Body Thing Have You Done Today?

    Yesterday I made lotion for VikingDude - uncolored and unscented, which is so boring to me but it’s all about making the customer happy, right? LOL And he was. I split the batch so had the 1% that went toward FO in the other half to add something else to his. I decided to cut an aloe leaf and...

    It’s so hard! My natural tendency is more toward junk food so I totally know how hard it is. ❤️

    Hacks and shortcuts!

    I’m not sure I have any good hacks. But I guess one of my favorite tools are single-use pipettes that I got from Amazon. They’re fantastic for measuring out things for which you only need a tiny or very precise amount, or that are difficult to pour (like EOs/FOs). I’m not crazy about using...

    First opinion diagnosis ~ Lupus

    First of all……I’m really sorry for this horrible health journey you’ve been on. My husband also suffers from an autoimmune disorder - in his case, multiple sclerosis. He spent 22 years in the military, where they jack you full of all kinds of vaccines prior to deployment. We’re not unconvinced...

    liquid soap-essential oil setting

    Maybe you could try lemongrass instead of (or in addition to) the lemon EO?
