I made two batches for Christmas gifts! First is BB “balsam cedar”. Absolutely spot-on fragrance. Second is combined BB “warm vanilla sugar” and Formulators Sample “tonka bean”. I used a color stabilizer because of all the vanilla, which made my blue turn green and my white went yellow...

Oh, bummer. Well, that's a rabbit hole I can go down! Figuring out how to make jelly soap. It's something that would be fun to make for my (future, potential, not-yet-created) grandchildren. In a few years, no rush....lol.... ;)

@Nonnie oh that is so fun! I’d like to learn more.

Curious, following. Please post results @Servant4Christ ! Thank you.

What are jelly soaps?

Oh, I didn't know you could do that! Woo hoo, something new I want to try! TY for sharing @Servant4Christ !

@2lilboots This is so great, thanks for the informative posts. I've used the pink sugar and mine changes to brown also. It went from vibrant pink raspberry to brown with a pinkish tint. Question: When you use vibrant colors, like the blue in post #98, do you get blue bubbles when washing...

Oh he’s 23 😁 He’s a wonderful son and loves to come visit and cook with his momma. I’ll tuck that away for grandchildren someday. ❤️

There is a thread about that! Now I’m down the rabbit hole. Can’t help but think how much my Viking son would love this! Thanks @Phantomina !

We need an eye roll emoticon for these guys. 🙄 I found another soap on Neiman Marcus for $110. You can read more under the side bar, click “details”. Double 🙄🙄 My eyes rolled back so hard I could see my own brain. But hey, who am I to tell someone how to price their products? They’re...

Oh gosh, you’re reminding me of happy days on the farm! How we girls used to sit on the porch with those yellow wire egg baskets full of apples and peel them for hours. Pop batches of them in the freezer for the winter. Grandma would pull them out all winter long and make applesauce and apple...

@AliOop and @justsomeguy thank you! I appreciate the allergy info.

Oh, I did not know that! Good info!

I know, right?? I wanna sniff this fantasy brick for myself! 🤣 I’d have to get dressed and put on makeup so it may be at a future undisclosed date lol. Next time we go into Bellevue for a nice dinner out, I’ll swing by. Will report back when I know more!

I was curious, so I checked it out. They sell this at Neiman Marcus! There’s not a single solitary thing that any of us couldn’t do, so it better smell really really good! I did notice there wasn’t an ingredients list. They mentioned the red algae and shea butter and some mysterious...

I made a lovely batch of Pumpkin Spice anhydrous body butter! I'm gifting some of it to loved ones, but mostly I just made it for me. Fall is my favorite time of year! 🎃

@Tammyfarms awww poor lil fella! Yes, you’re doing all the right things. He will come around soon - a few trim cycles. He really is a lovely boy! Congratulations!

@Tammyfarms Let me know how it goes! The two ingredients that grab me are Pine Tar and Lanolin. I use commercial products for my horse's feet. She actually has great feet, but the turnout pastures get muddy in the winter. If I'm out of town for any length of time, she can develop mild...

Thanks to advice from @jeanemarie and @Relle , I rebatched the Pumpkin Spice soap from last week. I think it's cute, not quite what I wanted, but definitely feeling like I know where I am headed now! My daughter's idea was to make it look like a cauldron "witch's brew", with black sides and...
