To those who fear unknown long-term side effects, the Dutch professor and immunologist Marjolein van Egmond often emphazises that in the history of vaccine development, there have never been any long term side effects years after vaccination. She's often cited in the Dutch news (NOS), but...

I only glossed over the article, but some things stood out to me. First of all, most of the studies included are pre-print, in other words not yet peer-reviewed. Obviously preprints are important during a pandemic, when you want to know results quickly, but it's something to keep in mind...

@KiwiMoose I'm in awe with how well New Zealand has learned from outbreaks in other countries. Keep on giving a good example!

I often feel like "anchoring" a scent with another eo just leaves the other eo that didn't fade. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just something to keep in mind. I noticed that the freshness of citrussy eo's survives better if they're added after hp cook compared to cpop (but not sure if...

I haven't used that particular blend, but I have used all of these EO's at some point without tingling. I'm curious to try that blend now 😉 However, sensitivity ty can be very personal...

That's probably the best you can do for her now, making sure she knows she's loved. I know it's hard.. I have a friend who doesn't want to get vaccinated because she's pregnant (even though that's a huge risk factor if she would get covid). She's afraid of possible long term side effects, even...

Poor thing! I'm so sorry that she's living in so much fear. There are some anti-coronavax articles out there that sound pretty scary if you haven't taken university level cell biology. My mom has some anti-coronavax friends and sometimes sends me articles or videos that scare her. I can...

@paradisi could you provide a link to the blog you quoted? I'm not really participating in this discussion, because I get easily frustrated with the subject, but I feel like I want to share my experience. I got assigned the AstraZeneca vaccine. The reports of people (mainly young women, which...

I'm so sorry to hear about your car accident ! I hope you're doing ok... Hang in there! @Mobjack Bay actually started the idea of using alcohol infusions in soap for color. (Do you want color or scent?) She makes a half water half alcohol infusion and then evaporates off the alcohol, so it...

Woops, didn't see @The_Phoenix's post and posted the same.. 😉

First of all, congrats to everyone who participated. I was seriously impressed with all the artistry this month. But since this is a competition, let's look at who you all voted for: 1. @Tara_H 2. @dibbles 3. @KimW It was a tight race!

@AttackedByCoconutOil did you eventually make an all butter soap? I'm sorry I didn't see this thread in February, I've made soap with almost 80% shea butter (the rest being coconut) and it was quite nice soap! I think you can go all the way up to 100% shea butter if you're willing to accept...

@gardengeek that's a stunning soap you made!

I'm glad your soap is not 'wasted', because it sounds like you put a lot of effort into it already! I'm still very curious to see the final result!

Those are wonderful @Nona'sFarm !

Your non-entry is lovely! It looks like an adventurous journey through your garden, kind of like a scavenger hunt😊 I definitely know the frustration of trying to make an entry while also working with experimental (natural) colorants. I've had plenty of not-what-I-envisioned entries in...

I know you're trying and I'm sure your soap will come out wonderfully! If you have discoloration from using eggs, you could try only using egg whites? I'm sorry it didn't work out as planned, but I'm loving your dedication and enthusiasm! Can't wait to see it!
