I'm not really a coffee drinker and neither is my husband but my brother-in-law has a reserved seat in a local coffee shop. Since my BIL has everything and his birthday is coming up, I decided to make him some coffee soap from his hangout. I went to his shop and picked up a cup of grounds and...

I am a special education teacher for high school students with learning disabilities and behavior disorders (very intense at times). After some encouragement from family and friends, I have decided to sell soap at a few local farmers markets this summer instead of teaching summer school.

I managed a farmer's market for two years. I only admitted hand made products, farmers, and nursery plants. I was surprised by the number of people that would approach me to sell Avon, Princess House, Tupperware, As Seen on TV products, etc... Our regular customers often thanked me for keeping...

Since most of my soaps are vegan (I'm not anymore but several friends and family members are), I started to think about what FOs are made of and I realized I had no clue. I prefer EOs but there are a few FOs I am fond of. Are FOs vegan? Thanks for the help. I'd hate to give soap to a vegan with...

This month's issue seemed to be a little light on soaping info. There is a lot of info. on lotions and moisture though.

I will give it a try in my 2 lb. mold. I will keep you posted on how it goes.

I picked up some mustard oil at the supermercado today. It is approved for cooking. Does (has) anyone used mustard oil in their soap? I Googled it but didn't really find out too much one way or another about if it is safe. For every article I found that said it was good in soap for acne, I found...

So as I was perusing the local Goodwill, something wonderful caught my eye, vintage soap dishes!! It seems like a logical new collection and something to fun to hunt for while thrifting. Does anyone else collect vintage or fun soap dishes?

Hi Ancel, prom night was OK. I posted about it on the prom thread, thanks for asking.

Prom was a little crazy, definitely not for the faint of heart. The kids get really nasty on the dance floor. It was fun to see all of the kids dressed up though. I took a lot of pictures with my students and no one fought so overall it was a pretty good night. I teach students with learning...

Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins, or Jack's Mannequin.

Thanks for the well wishes. I did it a few years back and it was crazy. However, prom counts for 2 adjunct duties so I guess it is worth it.

I'm chaperoning the prom tonight. This should be interesting. Anyways, it is always fun to get dressed up and get your hair done. Wish me luck...

I didn't know :( I love her videos, she has taught me a lot.

Nobellius, it is pretty easy. Very much like this video: http://youtu.be/AJ5gDKiuLVQ - you might want to mute it if you don't care for the musical styling of Linkin Park . Except I used 2 colors, so you would alternate pouring colors. Think of it like a clock, you would pour your 1st color...

I wanted to make a Peppermint Anise soap so I colored half of my oils with French green clay and the other half with activated charcoal. I did a ITP swirl and this was the result.

I didn't eat them very often, I prefer the cupcakes with the curly q. But I'm still glad they are coming back. http://search.yahoo.com/search?cs=bz&p=Twinkies%20return&fr=fp-tts-900&fr2=ps

I wouldn't call it brown. It is more of a gray color.

Looks great! I love the swirlies.
