Oh honey......you have NO IDEA...... :nodding:

So I tried this today. I just converted the percentages to grams, and used mango butter and meadowfoam oil. Used Jazz Club FO from Scent Memory--a favorite of both hubby and me. Because of the small amount, I ended up with 2.5 bars, which is fine (these are just for me and anyone I might...

So I got these molds from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWMKXBY6 I think they are really cool, and much to my surprise, when I fill the mold with M&P, it comes out in one piece and is actually workable. Below is an M&P I made to try it out. And of course, I have questions. If I made...

Same. I have an attic full of yarn and an office (which I now affectionately call my "soap lab") full of FOs. I need to go through and purge my yarn, but some of it is over 30 years old...... And of course, I still have tons of FOs from when I first started with M&P 15+ years ago. When I...

I don't see why you couldn't. Look up "ghost swirl" and you'll see examples of soaps using different amounts of water, so it should be possible. I would think you would want both your batters to make soap with approximately the same hardness, though.

:nonono: :goodbye1:

That's one reason that I am not thinking about selling. I have never participated in any social media (I don't count this forum as social media, but if it is, this is the only social media in which I participate) and have never had any interest in doing so. Not even MySpace back in the day...

So am I understanding that Etsy's fees are 10% as MelissaG said PLUS 15% for an offsite ad sale PLUS the 6.5% PLUS 3% PLUS 20 cents? That's more than 1/3 (if it's both the 10 and 15 and not an either/or). How much would you have to sell to make it worth it? (not that I'm considering it, just...

Funny you should mention that. New York Times just had an article about that today. Talked about how it still reverberates after 50 years.

Same same

Scent Memory has a fragrance called Maple Cream. It smells like maple syrup with a hint of butter cream. I made wax tarts with it, so I can't tell you how it behaves in soap, though.

PAVLOVA!!!!

I finally did a spread sheet when I noticed I had two or three one ounce bottles of a couple different fragrances (looking at you, Fragrance Buddy). That being said, I LOVE my spreadsheet. I have a separate page for each vendor, and then columns for the fragrance, if it's a dupe of...

2.65" I was neither praising WSP nor castigating BB specifically, just citing examples I was familiar with. I buy from both of them, I'm just careful what I buy from both of them. And yes, I understand there are only several providers, both for supplies and fragrances, and many vendors use...

So glad you like them. Bob's Flower Shop is one of the very few fragrances I bought in an 8 oz bottle (hobby soaper---a bazillion 1 ounce bottles, maybe 4 8-oz bottles). What did you think of Citrus Tree? Most Dragon's Blood FOs discolor--it can work for you, if you are ready for it.

hard tack

If you read the ingredients, you'll be surprised at how many of the types of butter are basically the same thing--WSP is good with listing the ingredients, and in fact, will call out some, if not all, of their butters "blends." Their aloe butter blend is coconut oil and aloe leaf extract. And...
