I am so taken with your idea of Operation Empty Cupboards, that I’m giving it a bit of a go. Not sure how to use all this couscous I’ve accumulated. Or the rice bran oil! I ordered a jug of it to try it out, only to find I already had a jug of it. It’s making me have to be creative with soap...

It’s a pretty close contender. It’s those lovely swirls that disqualify it. 🤣 Wanted to make something simple and soothing after all the holiday dust settled. This is my first aloe gel soap. It’s uncolored and I was going to do unscented too, but in the end I added lavender EO and a yuzu FO. I...

The colors are stunning! I can’t wait to see the cut.

How was the Steelers soap received? Did you make meadowfoam lotion bars? 😋

I really wish it had been made in a round mold! I love it!

The pepper crust is perfection!

OMG! Those are nuts. I can’t even see them as soap. Amazing.

I’m ready to join in on the @Zing group hug! Can’t think of a more positive, encouraging member of the forum. Pretty sure we were talking about donating soaps to shelters (women’s and homeless) for the holidays at the time of the post. It was a very natural association to make. Let’s get back to...

Oh no! I used that mica too.

Amazing! Those are the meatiest meat soaps! Thanks for sharing. 🤣 Yeah, I am a bit careful now. Mine had glycerin rivers, which looked like fat marbling in meat. 😭 I don’t know....it’s pretty good! I was actually going to approach a butcher to make soap in exchange for the fat to render, but I...

I just realized that someone else just recently posted this same video. The algorithm on YouTube is sending soaping videos!

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts recently about soaps that have turned out looking like meat. I thought it might be fun to share them in a meat thread. @Dawni You made a ham soap recently. This one was from the first (and only) time I rendered tallow. The whole house smelled like meat, the color...

@TashaBird I really love your solstice tradition. What a great way to celebrate the passing of the seasons. I’ve been thinking of trying to make a salt bar, so you will be my inspiration. Glad the expensive EO was the one that stuck around.

What do you make of this video? They say they use baking soda. Is that a mistranslation? Also, I think the way they stack the soap to cure is beautiful. Wonder how that would play out in my home. 😁

Wait 4-6 weeks before taking all those showers

Am I the only one having a hard time figuring out their site? I don’t understand their categories. Where did you find thedahlia soap? I just see a really cool octopus tentacles one.

Thanks. Yes, the lotion bars are the pink and green/blue squares with the leaf pattern. You are actually my lotion bar inspiration. The pink one has meadowfoam oil. 😀 It’s mostly a 1/3 split of hard/soft oils and beeswax. I tone the beeswax down a bit to make it less waxy. I think I used jojoba...

Finished my holiday gift soaps. Here they are. There are 2 lotion bars too. I’m spoiling everyone. Now just packaging everything up. Don’t know why I’m ahead of the game this year. Think I was so worried about the mail slowdown.g

Thanks. I used mica to color the soap. The fragrance oil is cucumber by BB.

Started labeling the soap to get ready to send to friends and family. I feel like I'm actually more organized this year getting the soap made and ready. How could that be?? I had a computer crash and lost basically all of my files from the last 2 years (no, I didn't back up and know better!)...
