NDA used to carry the resinoid, was nicely affordable. Hope they bring it back one day.

@Tourmaline Thanks for the tip! I'm looking for the cheap stuff for soaps but if I start making perfumes I would definitely shell out the cash for that scent. And glad to know I'm not the only one who has trouble smelling CB.

I owe DeeAnna a few dozen thanks too. So thank you DeeAnna for walking me through my first weird batch of soap and patiently explaining and re-explaining so many different things til everything clicked. And of course for advancing the art and science of this craft!!

Gutsy gal! Ask her what she means. She's probably thinking of old lady soap, the intricate molded stuff that sits in a bowl collecting dust because everyone knows its FOR DISPLAY only :rolleyes:

Yuck. I can see your point. Nothing like receiving a lovely jar of handmade mold :eek:

I like glycerin rivers too. Pretty soap!

The scent will probably come back. One of soap's mysterious ways.

I can't smell Copaiba Balsam at all, even full strength, straight from the bottle. So mad at my nose for this! It sounds wonderful the way people describe it.

I don't know how.... magic? I only kept the batch that long because it was problematic from the start, but the batch cured out well. I thought it was about to go dossy early on too, but never did. Ended up being kind of great. I think it's interesting too that KiwiMoose had Ylang ylang fade. Do...

Most of mine are palm so acceleration is very noticeable. How do you like the orange wax? I did try that some time ago, I wonder how the scent is holding up. And thanks, I'll sleep as much as the baby lets me.... about 2 hrs at a time these days :(

I have only used it in a couple blends, and acceleration did happen. So likely but not definitely :) I'm very sleep deprived so my memory isn't great. So with a grain of salt: the only ones from my list that don't accelerate for me are patchouli, cedar, lavender, anise, spearmint and...

Two years or more for these on your list! Cedar Lavender (40/42) Litsea cubeba (the original soap was lightly scented, and remains lightly lemony) Palmarosa Patchouli Ylang Ylang #1 (only tried it in a big blend but it dominates in a 3yr soap!) Also making the 2yr + mark Spearmint Labdanum...

Coffee, hot and freshly brewed, splash of milk. The first cup is the very best.

That sounds heavenly! Yes!!

Happy birthday John!

I don't know but I do love a foot bath... and a nice soak would fit :) Oh and a face mask. I would definitely expect one of those. A clay sampler would be nice. Ahem and maybe a little relaxing scent, possibly a lavender spray or roll on. A tea light at least. Oh dear I am dreaming of a nice...

@Mobjack Bay I have soap top envy. Those textured tops are absolute perfection.

Well done!!

Wow that is terrifying! I hope those wonderful friends of yours are keeping you laughing through the hard times and being a good support system for you. Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope things get better and easier. Hugs ♡
