Amber will give you a powdery fragrance.

@VikingChick Yeah, but still gorgeous! I had a spin swirl fail today; it turned into a chopstick figure-8 instead. We shall see tomorrow what it is. What was the naughty fragrance?

I'm now feeling confident enough to try fresh fruit and vegetable puree in cold process soap making! I just noticed I have a bunch of apples that need using up. Any suggestions from the more experienced soapers out there? I did a little reading and of course the YT videos. My understanding...

Yes, yesssssssssss good tip, thank you! @Firefly24 @hanesha I saw a YT video similar to that also. I think I'll strain and try to get most of the seeds out, but *some* seeds ok for mild exfoliation? My daughter says she can't make it now, so since it's just lil ole me, I'm not sure how...

I was looking at cucumber purée recipes on YouTube yesterday. I think I found one that inspires me. I told my daughter she can come over tomorrow. She wants to make strawberry purée spin swirl soap, so that will be our project! I haven’t done a fresh fruit soap yet, so fingers crossed! ETA. I...

I do that too! It's too thick, so my swirls aren't swirly enough. One time I made a recipe and thought it was at a thin trace, but then it wasn't emulsified and I had to toss the batch. Wasted, expensive...ouchie. I wish I had more time to play around with recipes.

It was really hard to go back there, and honestly I'm not thrilled with the corporate-appropriate "We really missed the mark on this one" and "I have sisters, a mother, a wife, daughters..." but whatever. What I would have preferred is more like ...not a prepackaged apology... and a plan as to...

I wanted to do the hanger swirls challenge in May, but it was a busy month and I didn't have time. I finally had time to soap on Thursday! I did a hanger swirl, which I'm still not great at, but at least if I keep trying I'll get there. Still, I'm happy with it! Also, the Green Tea and...

Oooooo aaaaahhhh oooohhhhhh the clouds part and angels appear

I have two scales, one regular food scale and another, smaller scale. I do use the small one for measuring fragrances (amber or Tonka bean for instance). Moreso for making body butters or perfumes than for soap. I’ve had my food scale I’m sure ten years. I have to remember to change the...

Owner was very nice, apologized profusely, explained how they plan to go about the remodel, and assured me this would never happen again. I'm letting it go.

Thank you, everyone. I'm not sure that it is illegal here in Washington State. My hubby went down there and spoke to the owner yesterday. It makes me angry that I have to have someone speak up for me in order to get any response. Front desk guy who checks me in every time knows me and spoke...

100% Thank you @paradisi !

I think the “manager” is about the same age as my kids - 25-ish. Probably this is her first management position. So for her I’d like to offer a learning experience she could grow from and be actual management material one day. I think she may have been put on the spot in the moment and didn’t...

I don’t need it, but would appreciate the gesture.

@Tammyfarms i sure hope so. I just want to get back to having fun at the gym.

Thanks, All, for your kind support. I looked up the owner and wrote the following letter, which I put in the mail today. June 1, 2024 (Owner name and address of club withheld) Dear {name}: On Friday, May 31, I was in the shower in the ladies locker room. When I stepped out, there was a...

@justsomeguy Thank you, I may do something like that. They auto-deduct my monthly dues, so I may as well just ask for the manager next time I'm in. My hubby is buddies with the owner of the gym. We are waiting for a response. I just need to hear that this was a terrible mistake and that it...

Yesterday at the gym, as I was getting out of the shower, there was a group of four construction workers waiting for me. The employee (female) stood between us with her arms spread and shouted back at me, "They're just taking measurements; they'll only be a minute!" I was so angry and...
