REALLY???? That's just wrong! Insurance makes me mad. I am so sorry.

@Soaped & @A-Polly - thank you both so much! Yes, it does smell good (or what I am able to smell since Covid's got my sniffer off). I think I'll hang on to it until my sniffer is a-right. I like inspiration, and once I'm better I can have some fun with it. For now, I'm off quarantine but...

Thanks. I don’t use commercial products either and have mixed feelings about the gift. I absolutely appreciate the kindness and intention, but I think I’ll probably donate it. I started making body butters, scrubs, and now soap, because I have sensitive skin. Fragrances easily irritate and if I...

¡Hola! Finally rising from the dead. I’m still on quarantine but at least I’m vertical. I started emptying my suitcase and found the nice gift from the new in-laws. Turns out it’s from Lush. I haven’t ever been in that store, and I haven’t seen soap like this before. It’s pretty and smells...

Sure enough, it’s Covid. I’m down for the foreseeable future. On the plane home between JFK and SEATAC, the entire plane was sick. I could hear the couple seated behind us hacking away. Please don’t travel right now if you don’t have to. This is a bad one. WAH. 😷

Fight Club mold? What’s that? I loved that movie! Oh wait, nvm. I zoomed in on the photo you posted and I get it now. Very cool!

I received a gift of soap from a new relative in Spain. It looks similar to the pink Himalayan salt lick I buy for my horse, and it smells nice. Kind of incense spice? I’ll post a pic as soon as I am well enough to unpack. We got home late last night and apparently the other gift I received was...

I think some people will believe anything. Big yuck from me. I breastfed both my babies but would never make soap from it. I guess it’s not any more gross than using goat milk. Technically. Not for me, thanks.

I heard that's what they did to my horse's sire. What they do to horses is unreal and makes me so angry.

Hello and welcome!

I LOVE Sublime.

I saw Sweet play once! Late 80s. They were a delight! I have way too much fun on YouTube, and I'm still a huge 80s fan. Of course, I am not forced to listen to it so that makes a difference. And when I'm feeling .... feelings....it's this.

@not_ally Thank you! Since I had a large amount to rebatch, I’ve been breaking it into chunks and experimenting. I still have a bit left I’m debating what to do with. I’d like to practice a swirl technique and have been down that rabbit hole on YouTube. Just need a window of time to open up...

That link didn't work for me, but I found this one. Hope it is roughly the same information. I'm OK with ceasing palm oil use. I bought a tub and haven't even used it yet. I am strongly against deforestation in all areas of the world. Reuters

One of my fave artists passed away over the weekend. I’ve been an April Wine fan since I was a little girl and this song first came out. Rest in Peace Myles Goodwyn. Journey to the stars Rock and roll guitars For those of you bored of the same ole X-mas tunes, I offer the following.

Thanks, @Shelley D ! I feel like I redeemed myself a little bit. I've learned so much here and making soap is so therapeutic.

That's a great article, thanks for sharing.

Yeah! SNL knocked it out of the park with this one. They are (R-L) Horation Sanz, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, and Tracy Morgan. There's also a Muppet version which is equally hilarious.

I did it! I did it!!! Here is my November Challenge hanger swirl rebatch. Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaa!! Using @ScentimentallyYours recipe "Vegan Friendly Soap, Very White Base", which is what the original recipe was that I messed up the first time. She was kind enough to tell me what I did wrong the...
