It's lotion that I'm trying to find this scent for. ;) Yeah, I have tried eocalc, but they don't have a browse by fragrance notes option, so it wasn't very helpful.

I'm currently trying to formulate a lavender lemonade scent using essential oils for a lotion I'm planning on making and I'm trying to find something to add to it to give a note of sweetness. I was hoping to maybe get vanilla absolute, but where I'm looking to purchase from (stillpoint...

Thanks! ❤️ I hope you get good prices at the sale barn! 👍

Aww what a funny story. 😄 Some babies really get attatched to certain people. I don't have too much trouble with escape artists actually. The breed I have tends to be easier to contain. That "male" is actually one of my does, Prim. She is very bossy and doesn't really tolerate any kids...

About two weeks ago my spring kidding season wrapped. We ended up with five bucklings and two doelings this year. We had both our largest and smallest kid born here in the same litter and we also had our first single born this year. Here's the single kid, named Asher. This is Peter, a more...

On Saturday I made a batch of my go-to lard soap, and finally I had runny batter for as long as I needed it to be! This was my first time using 100% natural colorants and EOs (unless you don't count TD as natural). The bottom darkest color is straight up indigo and subsequent layers have...

You don't happen to have comfrey, do you? It's like 1# in herbal healing ability. So much so that you don't want to use it on deep wounds because it will heals things too quickly, but it sounds like your not dealing with a deep wound. Sorry you fell!

What if you just switched it around and changed it a little. Buttercup Rebellion? I think it rolls of the tongue better. I love the concept. I think there's a real potential for fun marketing. I'm not really one to help with sound business advice, so I know my suggestion doesn't really...

I'm glad you've enjoyed it! And thank you for all the nice comments. ☺️ I have a little extra free time right now, so I'm hoping to make some more batches in the coming weeks.

Well that's fortunate! 😃

Oh bummer! Was it a lot of oil you had to throw away? I think my trouble is I'm trying to do intricate designs with goat tallow as my main oil, and that's just not in the card for this stuff. I probably should just keep to a maximum of two colors when using it.

I think I'll be calling these Rainbow Sherbet. The FO Apple Honey Champagne from WSP smell A-MAZE-ING. Design didn't go exactly as planned due to several factors. I've got some uncolored batter in places due to panicked get-it-in-the-mold syndrome. I've really been having a string of...

In the first place I try to reduce my liquid oils as best can (not including castor). I like to keep them at about 15-20% and I prefer Sweet Almond oil over olive. I enjoy the results of even less than 15% liquid oils, but lower than that and the batch becomes hard to make intricate designs with.

Thank you! 😊

Hi there! I do most of my soaps with goat tallow and goat milk. I'm really glad to hear your experience, because I have experienced the same thing with massive acceleration/false trace. I'm currently trying to perfect my tallow recipe so it's not perfect, but if you'd like me to share what I...

How long did you let your bars cure before using them? I live in a very humid environment and I don't really enjoy a high olive oil bar because they are much better after a significantly long cure time. My high olive oil bars are much longer lasting at about the three month+ mark. If it were...

Thanks! Embedding a cane was my original plan, but I only had the tome for one soaping session. Good to know that I could have centered the bottom too. I was concerned about leaking. Thank you!

Your lines are so straight! Fantastic work!

I finally found some time to jam in a soaping session yesterday. This is a design I've had on my mind for a while now. Thanks to everyone who helped me pick a scent and talked to me about coconut milk vs coconut water. I ended up just going with coconut milk. If I had had more time, I would...

Is smell still linked to taste in this conundrum? Because if it's not, I'd way rather lose my sense of smell, but if this is reality we're talking about, some of my taste will go too if I pick smell. Probably wouldn't change my choice though, so I guess smell it is. Would you rather have...
