Hello, LexieLoom! Our family would so much love to visit Scotland...don't know that it will ever happen, though =). Do you, by any chance, play the bagpipes? :D

Hello, tucshygirl! I have a daughter currently living in Arizona.

I bought my last commercial bar circa 1996. From the start my husband and I both preferred my soap, so there was no looking back. I always pack my own soap when traveling. A fun activity for me is to occasionally mentally list the homemade products I use during and after a shower. I use more...

Hi, Pam. Welcome!

I've not sold bubble scoops, so take that into consideration with my reply ;). How about some sort of a clear solid plastic tube (not flexible like cellophane) . . . think the shape of a toilet paper roll, although larger and plastic, with either caps to go on each end, or else one end already...

Hi, Ryan! You'll show us pictures of your soap, yes?

Hi, Becki! Soaping is great. One way I ensure lye safety is by mixing my lye solution in a stainless steel measuring cup (not glass), and then putting that inside a larger, non-tippable mixing bowl, and pushing the whole thing to the very back corner of my counter while it cools. This way it...

Zany, I made the Skin Firming Gel, sent some to my daughter, and kept some to try (of course!). She likes the lightweight texture and its effectiveness at keeping dry skin under control. I like the texture, as well, and how very non-greasy it is. It can work as a lightweight hand lotion, too. I...

My reply is in the next post =)

I've not made many, but when I did I used a silicone muffin pan. They did not warp and the mold peeled right off of the bars.

Hi, Jessie!

Thank you, everybody! Such nice things to look forward to trying. My daughter tried the Avalon Organics product that I'd linked to and found it to work reasonably well, until the other day. She's been experimenting by putting it on only half of her face. One morning she woke up with a red and...

Thank you so much for your reply! After poking around a bit she found something that looked like a possibility: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Avalon-Organics-Vitamin-C-Renewal-Facial-Cream-2-oz/990052811. So, we shall see how it works for her.

Hello, Akiko. It's great to have you here!

After being gone from home for nearly two months this summer, I'm having trouble getting started on that first batch of soap again. Once I do, the door will be open, and I'll easily make plenty of batches.

Hi, Donna! The closest I can make a claim to Australia is that I've met a few Aussies over the past two summers.

Hello from the currently sunny state of Indiana/US!

My daughter has grown up in humid Indiana, but is currently in very dry Arizona. She asked me for a recommendation for a non-oily facial moisturizer. I was away from home (and thus away from my stash of ingredients) and didn't really have the time to research anyway. Does anyone have a...

Welcome, Patrice, from a fellow Indiana resident! Soap! Isn't it wonderful?

Jasmine soap . . . yum!
