    What made you pick your avatar/ username?!

    I feel you ~ mine has been popping up in new unexpected places ~ like an earlobe and next to my mouth (which really freaks out people), and other places I was not expecting 😒

    Hello from Texas, kinda

    No, I was over thinking the situation. As I remember RV life, the limited water lifestyle meant things didn't always get as clean as we were used to in our normal home so I was making assumptions. My bad.

    Hello from Texas, kinda

    My parents were RVers for 15 years ~ my question is, how much time do you spend in one place as you travel? The reason being is that making the soap isn't very time consuming, it's the curing & storing that will be an issue because the soap will need to be in a cool, dry, well ventilated area...

    Switch the "a" and the "u" sound and you get something resembling a substitute word for something stinky 🤣🤣🤣

    Aromatherapy rice jars? 🤔

    I was thinking it couldn't be much different than making bath salts ~ and I've opened bath salt jars that were years old and they still had scent. So it got me thinking maybe the rice would work too ~ or why not use salts? A bedside jar of calming scents or a jar of invigorating scents to keep...

    Best ratios for body butter?

    Technically, it doesn't matter how many ounces/grams until you decide your total batch weight ~ which is why we like stating recipes in percentages, so it's easy to adapt and scale up or down. Will you be making enough to fill an 8 oz jar for yourself or twenty 8 oz jars to sell, totalling 160...

    orange/brown specks in soap

    I'm not an expert but I have been making milk soaps almost exclusively for 2 years and for the most part I can keep a batch from scorching by freezing the milk, as you are doing. However, I did notice that when I recently tried an oat milk variation my batch got super hot super fast, like as...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I'm of no help ~ the only batch I made so far was the soap my hubby actually liked and it has not developed any spots 🤷🏼‍♀️ I did not vary from the recipe though

    Can you use 100% whole milk for the oil?

    I forgot to add, we have threads in the forum that discuss milk soaps specifically, plus our favorite YouTube soaper videos ~ just try key words in search bar and you should be able to find them 👍🏼 I prolly shouldn't try to type replies while I'm on the clock for my day job 🤣 I know on YouTube...

    Can you use 100% whole milk for the oil?

    Have you watched any videos on YouTube for making milk soaps? There are so many and they show & explain the process. I was mostly interested in milk soaps when started and I just replaced the water with milks, mostly goat's milk 100% replacement of the water and 3-5% super fat depending on what...

    Aromatherapy rice jars? 🤔

    I wasn't sure which category this question belonged in but I knew it wasn't soap so here we are 😁 Has anyone had any experience with using rice in glass jars and adding EOs to make aromatherapy jars? I came across the idea in a general post on Pinterest about uses for EOs and this one seemed...

    First opinion diagnosis ~ Lupus

    Good to know! Luckily, I do not have any known actual food allergies. Now, sensitivities may be a horse of a different color 🤣 as dairy, sugars and starches may be the devil's foods for me 😱😭 but I can tolerate them in moderation. My daughter blames her lactose intolerance on me ~ I said I don't...
