When I clicked on the icons, the pictures showed up. They look good!

Here we go - this was attempt #1 of three. I do like the colors! I used a mixture of FOs - approximately one part Hemp from CS to four parts OMH from BB. Since the OMH discolors to brown, I left 1/3 of my batter without any extra coloring. To 1/3 I added a little titanium dioxide, and to 1/3 I...

Is that where @Zing is at these days? We miss you, Mr. Zing!

That’s exciting!

I know I love a guy in camo! In fact, I married him! 😂😂

Wait, what…..I see shades of green, brown, and tan. Is this about to be one of those blue/black dress vs.gold/white dress moments? 😂

Sometimes a dip in a bowl of tepid water will help. Rub the ash off, then set it to dry. You have to be careful that you don’t leave any bubbles on the soap, though, because you’ll see them when the soap is dry.

Here’s what happens when some of your batter accelerates and some doesn’t, lol. It looks more like marble than wood!

This is so cool, @dibbles!

I use Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen on my face on days I’m not wearing makeup and know I’ll be outside (my normal makeup is Tarte BB tinted moisturizer that’s SPF 20). I like it because it’s not greasy and doesn’t clog my pores, but it does have a silicone-ish feel that’s kind of slippery and...

Your soap looks so creamy and lovely!

I hope you feel better soon!

Those colors are fantastic!

Thanks!

Has anyone used a smaller, square-shaped mold like this? It’s about a 1-lb (440g oil) capacity. I’m thinking of using it for my challenge attempt, but I don’t know if it’ll affect my ability to pour in nice straight lines. Any thoughts?

I’ve been following this thread and am just fascinated at how different things work for different people! I love that we’re not all the same!

Today I had a real life conversation with someone who knew a little something about skincare! We’re visiting some of hubs’ family for the 4th of July and someone in the family used to work for GM Collin. I told him I made my own lotions (he already knew I made soap) and he sampled my body and...
