    Long overdue Intro

    Welcome. I know how you feel. I didn't lurk for long. I read everything and was so grateful for the help, both silent and verbal.

    Soap saver or dish recommendations

    I bought these in the Dollar Store yesterday. They were in the Health and Beauty section hanging on a wall.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I used one of my salt bars yesterday. The lather was smooth and bubbly (not what I expected, never having used one in the past). It made my face feel tight, an unexpected, but pleasant feeling. I read some articles that say salt bars makes you skin golden and glow. I hope that's true, but not...

    Churros!

    Thank you again. I cook and this does not sound difficult. I checked the link on the bottom with the photos and I've made Churros before. They didn't last long at my house and first they're sweet and second my kids loved them. Thank you very much.

    How quickly did you start

    I researched first. I did a lot of reading and even more watching videos. The reason why is the lye. It scared me at first. I have no children in the house, but I have a special needs child who is very high level and will follow directions when told to. I wanted to have a clear knowledge of what...

    Zany's no slime castile

    Thank you. I've only used distilled water for the few batches I've made so far.

    Zany's no slime castile

    In this recipe for Zany's NS Soap, a lot of discussion is on the water. I have a water softener, so my tap water is soft. I thought we would be using distilled water in the recipes. Is that a true statement or can ANY water be used?

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I love churros. This isn't the place, but is there someplace you can share the recipe?

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I get those calls. They are spam. On the phone display, it says the city and state where I know no one. Or they come up with a business name, like I'm getting Apple, Inc. calls now. I don't answer. However, if you are in business for your soap, you might have to check it out.

    Soap Display Case

    Always be on the lookout and if you find a sale, ask about the fixtures.

    Soap Display Case

    My local Pier 1 is going out of business. I went there today and asked about the fixtures. I bought a rack for $75 to put the curing soap on. I had to take it apart to get it in my small car, but putting it back together was a snap (no tools) and the soap is curing on it now.

    My Creamy Cocoa/Shea GLS Tutorial

    Thank you. I just read through the Creamy Cocoa one and the rest of this thread. The liquid looks creamy and soft. I'd love to try it. I've never made a liquid. I'm still in the beginning stages of CP. But finding something I can use right away will satisfy my impatient need to wait. I'm going...

    My Creamy Cocoa/Shea GLS Tutorial

    Thank you and WOW! I read all 8 segments and then the questions and answers. You guys are great! I am so lucky I found this forum, especially since newbies are welcome.

    My Creamy Cocoa/Shea GLS Tutorial

    I've been searching for the LS recipe that members are raving over. I searched under your name @IrishLass and variations of that. I find information, but no tutorials. You have so many messages, I couldn't go through them all, even the most recent ones. How do I search for your tutorials and...

    Post your Gripe

    I truly understand. I have a special needs daughter and she is a handful. I get by telling myself it could be so much worse.

    Beer Soap?

    That's all I noticed. I don't go there often and I'm rarely looking for wine. I have my favorites and they don't sell them there.

    Beer Soap?

    Good idea. As an FYI, beer, wine and alcohol are not sold in our supermarkets. A few have them, but you have to go to a special cash register or through a dedicated door to buy them. I'm seen wine at Trader Joe's, and I don't know how that works. There is no separate door or signs leading to a...

    Beer Soap?

    I might try this. The more I read about beer soap, the more I want to try it. I love a lot of lather.

    Cylinder PVC Molds

    One of the boxes that came with a long wooden mold inside is perfect for putting the PVC pipe in. I can stand it up behind a chair that's against the wall in my dining room where it will be secure and not able to tip over.

    Beer Soap?

    I have no beer in my house and no beer drinkers. No, we're not tea-tollers, just not beer. Picnic weather is coming up. Maybe I'll grab a beer at one of the cookouts and try it in the future.
