OMG, I can smell this through my monitor!!!!!

I recall yeaaarss ago I used to hang out at Long Hair Care Forum where ladies were discussing hair growth; long hair for women of color. That's where I learned of co-washing. Believe it or not I used to use Suave. Usually on the bottom of the shelf for .80 to maybe $1.00. I was co-washing...

What a beautiful, kind, well thought out response to whatever you all were discussing. This touched my heart this Sunday morning. Talking to AliOop said:

If I return to soapmaking I believe it would be of the liquid variety. Thanks for sharing this resource.

Making a batch after several years absence. Thank you for sharing this. I trust the expertise here and want my cream/lotion to be stable, safe, and useful.

Darn Swift Crafty Monkey site is different or for pay now.

I totally agree about the look of CP soaps. I enjoy them much better than any batch of HP I have made. My first batch of neem soap was made last year and boy did it stink, LOL. I made and sold it for/to an acquaintance who wanted it for her daughter. Wonder did she ever use it?

Shaking my head! Essential Depot, eh. The one in FL?? Hmm.

I, for one, am grateful. Thank you.

Re: I believe that (above). Oh, and, people seemed to love, love my Stress Relief bar :wink: .

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU and to Alchemy too. :thumbup:

yah, man. When I flew in from Ohio a couple weeks back I HAD to go there. Finally got to share it with dh. He liked his piece OF COURSE. That cake is so scrumpdeliiiiiishous I would drive the hour or so from here to there just for a piece. Oh yeah. :lol: :mrgreen: :wink:

Oohhh okay, ladies . . . . ss, slotted, eh. Who knew??? Um, well, yaw'll knew, LOL. Ya don't realize how much you rely on a thing, for instance electricity, until you must do without it. If I had a dime for everytime I have said to myself lately, "Well, how did they do it back in the day?"...

Noooooo, SHUT UP, GIRL! Wait 'til I tell dh. I've been wanting one of those things for a couple of years now. Have my eye over at eBay on one. Go 'head with your bad self, S. This was some good news! :mrgreen: :D P.S. See, Tampa Bay area is tres cool. I need to hop on over there...

I enjoy the chemistry, the mixing of oils and lye to get the end result of whatever I am aiming at versus having that done for me in the form of a pre-made M&P concoction. Thus, I find CP, HP, etc. to be more creative. I am thinking I am into the utilitarian of soaping. It's soap, to get one...

Having destroyed my thermometer (and lately being off grid) I've been doing RT soaping for a bit. Since my last two batches seperated I have been thinking of going back to the pain in the of taking temps. I'm glad the OP wrote this. Nothing wrong with going back to basics or revisiting...

Lindy, thanks for stepping up and responding. It is really encouraging when someone does. :D

Hi Alchemy: I am absolutely in love with silicone molds. I have a three pound log but want more; perhaps square, maybe round, a slab (for swirling). Where do you suggest I get some? TIA. L

We are working toward living somewhat like the Amish [the simplistic stuff] (oh how I wish I could hang with a family of them for one week); anywho . . . I stir soap, done retired my stick blender, KitchenAid, and Vitamix :mrgreen: here is what I would like to know . . . have you ever heard...

It's been years but I experienced lye pockets in a 100% lard batch the other day. I consulted my troubleshooting info. and found out a couple of things including the batch could have lost too much heat during my stirring. The recipe is sound as I made a couple of batches a couple weeks ago. I...
