...a bubbly song.

lsg, Not sure exactly how much I have - maybe do it in small increments. Took a hiatus from 2014 to present...

I've never had this issue before - old lye. How should I dispose of it? Thanks in advance.

Sometimes I sing to my soap batch when I am stirring. It seems to like opera best, but I don't know any foreign languages except Spanish so I make up words. Soothes the lye...

Ordered lye from Mile High and will pick up tomorrow. I want to measure out a small (3 batch) master batch tomorrow. Today - no soaping - have company, but he leaves tomorrow.

earlene, you humble me. I made one simple batch yesterday. I had to get it done because we are expecting house guests today through the weekend, and I guess it would be rude to excuse myself to go make soap. I will, however, have to go cut it later on today so I have that to look forward to.

Mobjack, the resin that I used from Eden Botanicals is not like the myrrh resin at all. Myrrh, frankincense, benzoin, etc resins are harvested from the trees. They are hard. The resin that I mentioned are perfume resins created in India, are soft, and look like...

Just popping in here to say your soap is captivating. Sorry I can't help with naming. I can never think of good names - I don't mind cleaning up my after soaping mess, I don't mind wrapping my bars, but I hate naming my soap. I sometimes thing I should call them No. 1, etc. (I kinda like Wild...

MGM, when I first started reading this thread I had the exact same thought - money laundering. urboogyman, really sorry for what you are going through. Keep your head held high, continue to do your outstanding work and take pride in your ethics. I don't believe you are going to change this...

If you're an "old timer" like me you might remember Eden Botanicals use to sell Amber Resin. They also sold rose, vetiver, jasmine and desert balsam resins. I had a bit of rose resin so I infused an oil.

This morning I cleaned up the garden after yesterday's hailstorm. It could have been worse. Had lunch and heading downstairs to check on the infusions I started yesterday. I might throw a spontaneous batch together this afternoon. Sharing a couple of pics from the May soaping series. infused...

Disclaimer: I am not recommending this. I'm late to this thread but I did want to chime in re expired oils. We moved in 2014 and I stopped making soap at that time. We had a lot on our plate so no time, no energy and no place to create. Fortunately I had enough soap to carry us through for a...

Maaki, This is such an interesting thread and I applaud you for being patriotic and using products from Mexico. I have a question - would coconut milk be something that is available in Mexico? I love using coconut cream or milk in my soap, and perhaps it can contribute something to your already...

Your first batch came out looking like beautiful antique marbled paper. Definitely thumbs up. Your second batch leaves me breathless. Amazing.

Looks like a gemstone - gorgeous.

Additional thoughts -ATMs charge fees and a lot of places take credit cards but you should check with your CC about the international rates they charge. Some companies charge a higher fee, others charge a fee but will reimburse your account. Get some peso before you go. We found a bank in...

Guanajuato is one of my favorite places. It has grown immensely and the streets are really narrow and crowded and noisy but fun. The people are great and Guanajuato is especially lively because of the university. Be prepared to take lots of pictures - the houses/buildings are colorful and...
