It can be very overwhelming. Some recommended e/o blends are not popular , I ask my family members and friends. And the reverse applies too. Also some E/O scents do not stick very well in cp soap , and this can result in great expenses as most E/O are costly. And of course you will be...

Gosh you are so sweet. I laughed & cried in equal measure. So sorry for what's happened and so amused at your descriptive narrative. I hope it turns out well.

I bought mine from Nurture Soap and I'm really happy with it. They sent a spare wire. In terms of shipping they offered me 3 different shipping prices and I chose the cheapest which I felt was a good price for shipping to Australia, considering it's a bulky item. I also added some Micas , and...

I sympathise and feel for you. Nothing worse than having to deal with adult family members who don’t clean up after themselves. I hope you heal and recover from your depression. For me , that’s actually why I turned to soaping. It’s my ‘ME’ time when I just tune out. And dare I say, it’s now me...

Thank you so much.

Hi everyone, I'm in a panic and would greatly appreciate your kind and expert help. Finding some dark blue/ purple spots on some bars. I don't know if it's mould. The soaps smell fine. I made a soap with similar colour mica the same day so not sure if I used a utensil from that batch. ( Whisk...

Welcome to this obsessive addiction. Wishing you all the best.

I've been experimenting with essential oil blends. (Lavender; Clary sage; Ylang-ylang; Spearmint)And also made a cherry blossom, trying a hanger swirl for the second time. Learning so much on this forum, thank you all very much. Who knew learning could be so exciting and enjoyable.

A lovely question. Personally, as new and very inexperienced in soap making, I’d love to meet an experienced and successful soaper. I’m so curious what they’d say and what gems they have to impart. Whenever I read soaping books ; read through the answers on this forum, or watch YouTube, I’m...

I decided to clear out my baking cupboard as I don't bake as much any more. Got rid of some items. Discovered a silicone rose mould which I forgot I had, it's been zonks since I used it. So decided to make some rose soap.

Absolutely gorgeous, WOW

It's always interesting to read about all your days. I'm just sitting here head in hand and feeling sorry for myself. Received a large order today of oils; essential oils; fragrance oils etc. There's been alot of damage in transit:- oils have leaked ; tubs have split and I have a big clean up...

Thank you so much for your advice and encouragement. And for the kind words of all the other posters. Much appreciated.

Well, I gave it a try. Let's hope it turns out ok. There are some white specks in the white part.

Thank you so much for your encouragement & advice. I'm going to do this soon.

I tried to make some crisp apple soap and it just hardened in a matter of seconds. Silly me, used a new fragrance oil and for the first time, sodium lactate at the same time ( 1 Teaspoon for 500g of oil) . So I don't know which is the culprit. I was planning to make white and green, the green I...

Beautiful

I laughed till I cried!!

Hi and welcome from a former South African now living in Perth. I'm sure you have lots of experience and expertise to share with us, as do the other great members here.

Thank you so much for your helpful response. The coconut oil is the only one supplied by the two companies I buy from. It's the first time I used it, before that I just used coconut oil from the grocery store with no problem. But I thought I'd buy bulk therefore bought this one,not realising the...
