I made a batch of goat milk soap using my new mold from Bramble Berry with goats on it. It's hot process so not as clean as melt & pour or cold process. I'm happy with how they came out though. They are scented with Moonflower from WSP.

It's best to add it last so it has less time to interact with the wet/liquid ingredients and then it doesn't "activate" too soon and start fizzing.

I have recently decided to try bath bombs too but I'm in Texas where it's very humid and I'm afraid they just aren't going to hold together so instead I'm making fizzy bath soak (also sometimes called bath bomb dust). It still fizzes but you sprinkle it in the bath like bath salts instead of in...

I redid some pics for my Etsy shop. I found this cute plant stand in Hobby Lobby.

That sounds awesome! I live with my parents too. I'm single and don't want to live alone. Also we pooled our income and were able to buy a big house and I basically have the upstairs to myself. It was also really helpful when my grandmother who had Dementia lived her last three years with us. It...

What do y'all think of this recipe for a hot, humid climate? 25% beeswax 20% hemp seed oil 20% jojoba oil 19% coconut oil (76 degree) 15% cocoa butter 1% vitamin E

Thanks everybody! I'm in Texas where it's hot and humid so I may play around with the recipe then until I get it just right.

Thanks! I'll try a small batch first and do an even substitution and see how that works.

I'm going to try making lotion bars and I found this recipe at WSP. I want to substitute the hemp seed butter for cocoa butter. I haven't worked with either butter (and haven't made any lotion bars before) and was wondering if I can do an even substitution? Thanks! • 8 oz. Beeswax - Yellow...

I used an M&P honey soap base to make some milk and honey soaps (added a little goat's milk). That's my goat Miss Fiona :D.

I'll give some to family and hang on to the rest as well. I have them on my Etsy shop and for the Reindeer poop (scented with a chocolate FO - not specifically Christmas scented), I'm going to repackage and market as just gag gift soap (in non-Christmas packaging).

I took a lot of small soaps that would be great for stocking stuffers (lump of coal soap and reindeer poop soaps). I got a lot of compliments on how cute/funny they were but only sold a handful.

We just started doing craft shows at the end of 2019 (we've had an Etsy shop since 2016) and were planning on doing a full schedule for 2020 and obviously that didn't happen. We were able to do three between Oct-Dec, all single day outdoor shows. We made a good profit at each one but not as much...

I'm in Texas and I would consider 65 degrees "cool" and would be wearing a jacket for sure! 🥶

Dr. Fauci has flip-flopped on this multiple times telling people not to wear masks and then saying to wear them. I'm neither ignorant nor misinformed and I don't think they do much good really. Face shields probably work better as some people have reported the size of the virus particles are...

That's a terrifying thought that any level of government would make it mandatory that you take something. What happened to my body, my choice?

I don't have any comorbidities and am not taking a vaccine that has not had a proper testing time for a virus with a 99% survival rate. I haven't taken many prescription meds in my life (I'm 43 and healthy) but I have taken two that I and many others had bad side effects from and have since been...

As far as stick blenders go, more expensive isn't always better. I was using a Hamilton Beach that I got at WalMart and then I saw an All Clad blender in Marshall's and decided to splurge and get it. Well it broke after a couple of months (apparently it's a design flaw in the plastic part that...

I make people look at my craft show booth set up (I have my tables set up in what we call our Etsy room - has our shop products and things) :D
