I didn’t see it mentioned in the list but Shay and Company in Clackamas, OR is worth looking at for some items, especially if you are on the west coast, order in bulk, need kosher Or halal ingredients. Some EOs but no fragrances. I’m not experienced enough to rate their quality on things like...

That’s really cool Janelle. I bet it smells super.

If you are a dermatologist, you might not want to read what I’m going to say. Hubby went to the dermatologist for an all over rash that he’s had for nearly 6 months. His primary prescribed him an antidepressant, Benadryl, Claritin, and Zantac for this rash. Those helped but he’s still got it and...

Janelle it sounds wonderful. If your swirls worked will you post a picture?

I’ve had a big hunk of beeswax for a few months now. Don’t know what I was thinking when I ordered it. Anyway thought I would try some lotion bars for my heels and elbows. But the cleanup Ha ha. I hate cleaning up. Guess you don’t know until you try something. And now my kitchen smells like...

Wow Terri that rose soap is stunning! I woke with a migraine today so I just played around on soap calc and finally printed out 2 recipes to weigh out tomorrow and hopefully actually soap on Tuesday. I also read up on kaolin clay and found some really good info on old threads. Kids are off...

Interesting! I have an older Cricut which I rarely use. What model do you have? I’ve had to buy way to many cutting pads and blades. Maybe the newer models are better.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I started soaping a few months ago. I’m a SAHM and full time caregiver to my parents. We own a house with a mother in law unit on almost 1/2 acre in town. I wanted to add a cottage biz to my many hats. Hoping to supplement hubbies income to pay for braces for the...
