    I Don't Even Know Where to Start or how to react

    It hardly seems generous to give you land that is going to be worthless when the world ends in five years. I'm just saying. It probably should be sad and he clearly needs some mental help, but I bet he is the most interesting person you get in the shop all week! It takes all types to make...

    Coronavirus

    What an awful thing. Its one thing to hear the facts and figures, its another when you realize its an individual human being, and even when cases and hospitalizations drop, each number STILL represents a human being in pain. And now two. I thought there was a drug that helped to counter the...

    Nurture doesn't carry SAO now??

    I buy from Amazon. I am unsure if the price is good. I dont track my usage well so I normally NEED asap! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07WD5K4SN?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    Vanilla Stabilizer affecting scent?

    I used a VCS with my Ylang Ylang and Amber f/o from nurture soap and I noticed a slight difference in the scent. I think it made it a little more complex, but there was something a little different to it, but I liked it. But it was pretty slight and overall I still got what I wanted. I also...

    I sincerely hope someone reported her.

    Handmade Soap and Health Claims

    I'd be so scared making any claim about any of my soap. I probably go the other way and over-explain things. I only promise that my soap will smell good and while its not the best soap, its the best soap I could make. In modern medicine I think GPs and now more than ever NP and PAs are...

    Holy Guacamole

    pfffft, I could do that in my sleep. LOL, just kidding, I can't even do her easiest designs. I secretly think she is a soap wizard

    Handmade Soap and Health Claims

    Its a little frustrating that your primary care doctor was such a gatekeeper for the dermatologist. I totally understand trying to keep costs down, but like second or third time I think they should have relented. My mother had a cough for like a year and no one would refer her to a...

    Hello I made a mistake in preparing my oils

    OP, that's like 89 oz of oil. Just make sure you have a mold big enough for the batch. I think that's nearly 6lbs of oil so you're gonna have an amazing batch

    Is this Greed or Business?

    This reminds me of those malt o meal bagged cereals. I know I'm a sucker but I need original frosted mini wheats even if they are all made in the same place! Having to pay more in light of FO dupes is a good point. It stinks because I know that, for some, the cost of f/o is prohibitive. And...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I'm so sorry for your night, but I really enjoy reading these stories. And just LOL at panic mode, isnt it so weird what things you'll do when you get flustered! I'm really curious as to how your soap will turn out. You think it might be skin to like a spoon swirl design?

    Hello I made a mistake in preparing my oils

    I don't remember math, but if you used the percentage amounts, wouldn't you just have 100 oz of oils? Can you work backwards from there to put the oz into soap calc and then figure out how much lye and water you need. I didn't go to math school though and its 1115 pm, so if there is...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I prefer to laugh, the cries are all out of me over the debacle! I think thats the sweetest line "all soap is beautiful" I never thought about it that way. And yes, I think you bring up an excellent point and one of the things I love about soaping. Yeah, I screwed the pooch, but its still...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    LOL, I'm so glad you asked, because I asked myself where it all went wrong all night. HA It all begins with my love of trashy reality TV. 90 Day Fiance was on, and I thought to myself "don't be such a dork, the oils and lye water are at like 170 right now, you TOTALLY have time to sit down...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Bit off more than I could chew. Again. I figured I could make a simple batch of loofah soap. My plan was to divide the batter into thirds color it, fragrance it and pour it at a pretty high temp (120'ish) since i wasn't doing any swirls. I figured I'd take it just to emulsion so it would...

    One oil for the rest of your life...

    I think extra light olive oil for both.

    What do you all do with the burlap (?) bags from Nurture Soap

    What do you all do with the burlap (?) bags from Nurture Soap

    @Catscankim i swear to you and am not lying when I say id be happy to send them to you.. they weigh almost nothing and id be so freaking tickled for them not to go to waste. Your bath teas are such a great idea. No baths for me and I have so many soaping projects both actual and hypothetical...

    What do you all do with the burlap (?) bags from Nurture Soap

    Oh thats a cute idea. I'm not a super crafter so I might not have such a flower handy. And then do you think I'd be sticking them with a superfluous bag? But it's a cute idea and maybe someone could use it if they just wanted to use the soap to scent a drawer. LOL, youre welcome to like my...

    What do you all do with the burlap (?) bags from Nurture Soap

    I was today years old when I first learned about a bath tea! I'll have to see more about what it involves, I don't know too many people who take baths, but if I could find friends and family who don't care about the logo, do you think the bag would work?
