Eh I had to search what I originally wrote here lol. Nothing fancy with my avatar it's just me haha. Name is also mine, the additional "i" came about in high school - when someone calls me this now, most definitely they'll be using (trying at least) a cutesy voice like how they'd talk to babies...

I didn't like rice bran wax in mine. Was also looking for vegan alternatives. In reverse, carnauba and candelila are expensive here (but I haven't checked in a while). I don't mind the vegans looking for vegan lotion bars but the carnivores who want vegan products make me roll my eyes lol Like...

That's what I do! Still tricky.. Small hands aren't good with big things and this is huge lol

My son, a teenager, once thought I made brownies with pistachios lol and I almost didn't get to him in time to stop him from taking a bite

Oh definitely haha I did read those same things and I already know she's pointing at me when she cautions those who live in really humid climates lol Thank you for those who responded. It might seem I'm trying to be stubborn about this but I have something in mind that I wanted to do, and I'd...

How bad is the smell when used? And what kind of smell? I noticed some of my soaps have "a smell" that isn't rancidity, and isn't the EOs or FOs, it's just a weird kind of soap smell. I know what rancid soap smells like, I've had a few and they all have different rancid smells lol but I am...

Are you looking to make a Bastille for it's high olive oil content? I ask because technically, you can make soap without coconut oil or a substitute at all. It will still clean, it will still lather, though a bit differently than a soap with coconut oil in it. A proper castille takes long to...

I agree with this too. I've used ginger EO with turmeric colored soap too hehe. I can even say that mine smells kinda "sweet." Definitely no smell from the infused turmeric in the soap though I'm actually happy about that lol Which reminds me.. I have to go check on that soap to see if the...

My current struggle is looking for something the 4yr old could do away from me, or something that will distract him thoroughly, so I can soap during the day and not only when he's asleep (which is less now than when I started soaping lol). I need sleep too y'know **eyes the kid**

I wanna see the meat soap! lol There's several of us here who ended up with meat soap. One of mine looked like Corned beef... And I sold the latest one in Christmas gift sets along with lotion bar "cheese" and I even called it hamon (ham) lol Did you use micas or natural colorants? Sometimes...

Hallo! I am from the Philippines so fortunately for me they are bought locally. I do know however that we have several companies who export so if you do a search for "sinamay bags" or "abaca bags" just maybe you'll find someone who can ship to you from close to where you are 😊 I'll see if I...

This is probably the best way to go, and is what literally EVERYONE is doing lol I was thinking if it was possible I'd wanna do something different. It's still an option though, if all else fails haha

Neither am I actually, hence the question. I've been given the impression that anything that comes in contact with water (except soap lol) needs a preservative but this made me wonder since essentially it's not even water based. So do you think, if I were to come up with a formula, and sell...

Oh yeah I've seen these before. I read there that there's no sure fire way of preserving clay. Something about the particles? So I guess they're more for personal use. I will have a look again in cased I missed something. Thank you.

It's really handy! I imagine it'll look awesome with printed paper as well just have to figure out the spacing coz you can't really see what you're cutting (I write on mine so that's moot lol).

I try to help in what little way I can. Those guys need all the help they can get. They're constantly battered by storms - speaking of which, check out the one currently over us now Can't even see the land mass below it O_o So once again I'm asking for prayers for my countrymen. Already were...

What's FDNY? Haha I'll take pics on Monday I'm sure they'll be glad to pose lol Here they have no uniforms, the trucks are just ugly old dump trucks, I've never seen them wear gloves or any other safety gear, and some don't even wear shoes, just slippers. I'm sure they "look" better (not that...

Right? They're made of sinamay, from the abaca plant. Comes in so many sizes n colors, and not expensive either especially in bulk. Left is woven, right is what they call scrunch Best thing? Made locally. I had them shipped from down south, and were made by small time weavers. No middle men.

Ok this was technically my last night lol Sent out a big-ish order of gift sets and lotion bars Pardon the messy counter lol

Oh yes I just remembered. I gave a bunch to the trash collector guys when they came by the other day - here they're nothing like what you guys probably have over there (at least from what I've seen online lol) and they were very grateful. My mom also gave em a bunch of fruits (that's her...
