    How do you clean up after soap is made?

    Yes, I have a dishwasher. I rent and there is no hookup for a washer nor a dryer. I won't go into all the details but I have been waiting for 5 years for hookups.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Mango butter just hates me. I have tried it twice and both times it has wanted to volcano on me. At least I know that mango butter is definitely out of the running.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    So I am doing something I should have done a long time ago, testing which butters I like best. It basically ended up being a plop in and hope for something nice looking. I was pleasantly surprised at the design, disappointed at the fact that the yellow was too pale and the purple didn't show up...

    How Do You "test" Your Soap?

    I have 3 main people that test my soap. Me, my mom and one of my daughters that has skin issues. 3 different skin types and 3 different stages in life. The hubby and son use it but to them as long as it cleans and isn't too girly of a smell they are happy.

    Depends on which kind of glitter you use. It seems most use the plant based glitters, so they dissolve.

    Overshooting cleansing range

    I don't know how well it works but the Amish where my mom lives makes soap with Lavender, Sage, Oregano and Rosemary essential oils specifically for deodorizing the manly smell. I do know that my mom bought my son-in-law a bar of it and she said it seemed to work for him.

    How do you clean up after soap is made?

    I don't have the luxury of having room to keep soap dishes laying about nor the luxury of having a washing machine to constantly wash what few rags I do have, so I use the workshop style paper towels (the blue ones) and wipe my dishes after I am done then throw them in the dishwasher. I use way...

    How can you avoid inhaling Lye fumes?

    I have asthma so I wear a mask while I am mixing it.

    Rant about soaping "trends" and myths

    I have found people like to say what everyone else says on Facebook (one reason I found here to be able to get help). Sometimes you have to test for yourself and see what works for you.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Sounds like my everyday internet. It gets too hot or rains and I am likely not to have internet. Hope you have a great vacation.

    Coloring (and using) Melt and Pour

    I use mica. Unless I am in a rush I also premix the mica in a little bit of isopropyl alcohol. No need to let it harden, chop it up and melt again. Just use separate cups for the different colors you are using.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Life has been a bit busy lately so I haven't done much soaping. A month ago I tried infusing oil, one with turmeric and and the other with dill weed. I was going to do the grocery store soap challenge but I didn't use my head and added shea butter since I was making it for my mom. I also...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    While grocery shopping I decided to pick up a 3rd oil so I can do the grocery store soap challenge. Now I just have to look through all my stuff to find something from the store to use as a mold. I also made more elephant embeds because I was impatient and broke the trunk off of a few of them. 😢...

    Post your Gripe

    Wow um and I thought I have been waiting a long time for one of mine to arrive. From what I have been seeing I guess they take turns? However I don't have a problem with UPS and USPS. The only time I have a problem with USPS is when I send a package to my parents without tracking and insurance...
