Kermit said It's not easy being green, and I would add, It's not easy being a forum mod. You ladies rock!

So very tempting. I haven't tried spinning, but I love MW.

Curious how you use a lye calculator when you don't know what oil(s) you're using? o_O

They kept my office closed today!!! We didn't get much snow in my area, maybe about 4.5", if that. I was in disbelief when my boss texted me at 7:30, and wrote back, "Really?? Why?" He just said "Roads." Okay. I'm curious and feel like driving around just to see. ;) I was gonna get up...

When I hit my "right recipe" I'm working towards, I'm going to celebrate it with my first-ever large batch so I can try this Dancing Funnel. Honestly, it looks pretty easy-peasy -- is it not? Does Holly just make it look easy??? @Zing I KNOW you can do this!! Maybe you went past emulsion...

Gosh, those are lovely! Your stamp is super cute!! Is that a hedgehog? Love it to death! :) I want a stamp some day -- need to shop the possibilities now because I'm so inspired by your little critter!! :D

Your soaps are beautiful -- well done!

So pretty! Yum!

I ran out of Organic Sustainable Palm (all I will buy) from mid-Jan to mid-Feb, so tried some substitutes in my last 2 batches in that period. I said above #5, that cocoa butter was unpleasant to work with, basically, and gives some kind of slip to the skin that makes it squeak... or I think...

Thank you so much! :)

I was a hold-out, too. Got my 1st smartphone in April 2015, a Samsung Galaxy 5 which I am still using. It took me almost 2 years to remember that I was effectively carrying around a computer. I'd be somewhere saying I didn't know, or couldn't do, this or that, and the person would look at me...

Yay, snow day!!! We got let out at 1.oo. I took a coworker home, then powered on through with my KO2 tires to the market, stopped by the PO, and spent 20 minutes in my carport cleaning off the van completely, mirrors, wheel wells, struts, and all. :D I actually like driving in snow...

What is the advantage to beer? I can't suss out what it brings to soap.

Oh Owwieeee, that looks like, "keep me wacked out with something, that's an order." Poor babyyyy, but will be so much better when the leg gets put right. Dang. How are things now? I'm on my phone and have fat fingered the like/quote button twice tonight, so if quotes with nothing else show up...

I like HO sunflower, tallow, palm, olive, avocado, a very low % of coconut, and always castor oil. I'm thinking of saving my mango butter for a whipped body butter, but it soaps well. I just used shea for the first time, but haven't tested the soap yet. Cocoa butter seems to make my skin...

So sorry! Weird coincidence with an opposite feature to it: My mother, who also never smoked, also got lung cancer. She also was given 6 months to live, but lasted for a year and a half. It was no blessing at all, she suffered so much, and was used for experimental cancer drugs without our...

I got mine from Mile High Soap in Denver. They ship.

deleted I think the post I was replying to was not talking about me, after all. ;)

I should have read further into that patent, instead of stopping at the quote I posted last night. The patent for using this with vegetable oil soap further stated: "The emulsion of raw tung oil in an aqueous solution of vegetable oil soap product is useful as a cleansing, dry skin preventing...

Took out my jar of LS paste last night, mixed 14 ounces of it with equal part distilled water, and it's almost all dissolved tonight. I didn't put any borax or anything this time, except some Bergamot EO (one of my favorites), and did not get any foam head this time. Hmmm, I thought that...
