    Wedding Song Suggestions

    Not a church ceremony and not religious. I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan so Star Wars would excite me. I’ll put it on my suggestion list. Thanks ☺️ This was already on the list 😉

    Wedding Song Suggestions

    Hi Everyone, My daughter is getting married in a few weeks. She needs a song to play when the celebrant introduces them as Mr and Mrs for the first time and everyone is congratulating them. They need something uplifting and she has asked me for some suggestions. I thought I would post here to...

    Tap Water vs Distilled Water Experiment

    Does anyone here test their own water or make their own distilled water? I have a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter that I use to test the water for topping up my marine aquarium. It measures the total dissolved minerals and salts within your water. The idea in the coral hobby is that the TDS...

    My new baby

    So I have a few suggestions that are normally given to my clients who adopt kittens into a house with an adult cat. I apologise if you are already aware of some of these, many people are so much more savvy these days with the interwebs and all. And these are suggestions only, you are the best...

    Calling me Hun

    If I am in a casual setting I basically call any women under the age of about 30 "lovey". It was what my mother did and I began doing it when my daughters were children. I would refer to their girl friends as lovey. Now my daughters are in their 30's I still tend to do it to women of their age...

    Kittens! 😻

    OMGosh! Truly adorable little guys! Brings back such fond memories. For over 10 years I taught animal science and our faculty had a MOU with a major shelter nearby. As such I hand reared and fostered over 200 orphaned kittens that came through the shelter. I don't miss making bottles, I don't...

    The hard bar

    Aren't they precious! I purchased a souvenir soap from MONA museum in Tasmania (you need to look that up, not appropriate for this forum) and just put that into the shower and said nothing. Neither did he....... for about a week he avoided using it. He finally asked what it was and is it meant...

    The hard bar

    Yes, that is exactly how mine looks after I plane it. Good to know this is normal. Thanks for that :) Yes, I looked at these before I actually made the soap. Lol I was delighted with how hard it was going to be. I was like "yippee" something I can use as a hockey puck if I got complaints...

    The hard bar

    Thanks AliOop! It doesn't matter if it is drying to the skin, he is a boilermaker and is usually black from grinding dust. In the past he has used Solvol as a soap(not sure if you have that in the US?). Re: the beeswax - I read somewhere here on this forum to use between 1-3% beeswax so going...

    The hard bar

    Hi Everyone, As my soap making has progressed over the past few months, my husband (although extremely supportive) always complains that my soaps are too soft and not like the store bought ones. So in my quest to find a bar of soap that can (if needed) cause a concussion I found a recipe on line...

    Weighing Ingredients the Kevin M Dunn Way

    This is true! I did an animal science degree. I also worked in a wet lab for most of my life and we just weighed things on an analytical balance.

    Weighing Ingredients the Kevin M Dunn Way

    Hi Everyone, I am a fairly new soaper and am currently reading Scientific Soapmaking by Kevin M Dunn. I just have a question about the way he wants his readers to weigh things. Now, I did chemistry 101 at Uni and I don't remember weighing out things like he describes. I sometimes get so confused...

    Kaleidoscope and swirl in a pot

    Newbie here. I hope to do one of these one day. I have watched some videos on the pull through method and was wondering how you pulled the filter through? If mine ever end up looking as great as yours I will be a very happy woman!! They look fabulous.

    Newbie Soaper

    Hello Everyone, I am very happy to be here. My daughter and I started sudsing after I received a soap making kit from my husband for Christmas. I don't think he realised what he was starting! I am now obsessed and have moved on to CP soaping. We have also started making other bath products which...
