Oh aaarrgghhhhh!!!!! Funny how nothing good ever follows, "I was so excited. ..."

Good luck with that soap. I've never believed in it after my first week here and reading 100 times how SF just goes down the drain. I'll be very curious to hear how your skin tolerates 100% CO. I doubt mine would.

When I joined here, I read this whole thread within the first day or two, and want to give a #ShoutOut to @HowieRoll for this: "One thing that really resonates with me (now) is what toxikon wrote, to start with small batch sizes. My first batch involved 39.5oz of oils and 63 total oz of soap...

Sounds scary to me! A high percentage of soaping oils are also food oils. The remainder are used in other body products, including lip balms (shea, cocoa, etc.) I would say that since Tung and/or China wood oils are not used in any body products or comestibles, using it for soap would not be...

I would dearly love to see some of them, (Carolyn?). I had a faery house calendar last year -- I'll have to find it to get the artist's name -- but she made them in the outdoors to be left there in the environment that she incorporated them in. They were so clever and sweet. Anyway, back to...

Stuff's gotta be done. That behind the scenes stuff is a killer. I used to have a website for the jewelry I made and some other stuff, and the photos and listing write-ups and paypal linking and yadda yadda, aaarrghhh! It was a second full-time job. I'm sure You are Not boring! Ever make...

Just finished watching this, and had to share because I kept saying "that's amazing" over and over! Talk about a relaxing and very Zen activity. The Japanese are in a league of their own. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media...

I LOVE them!!!!!!!! Yay, Cosmos. So beautiful, Midnight!!

Jeez, no one to play with here at night, by the time I can come on the forum during the week. :( :smallshrug:

How about something humorous, like Bug Out Bars? Not that, but just to turn the wheels in that direction. :)

Ha! Funny, I wanted to make soap today, too, but that will never happen on a work night. Not ready for masterbatching. Your plan sounds really pretty, can't wait to see!! I'll soap vicariously through you. :D

Those are super pretty! I don't see the fail. They look beachy :) Lots of water/ocean/beach soaps here lately. Those just look So refreshing, Kiwi!!

Fabulous! I love the colors and pattern of your goldfish soap!

Aw darn it, i was gonna say that!!!! :D

I definitely will share, Paisano! :) My skin got much drier in my 50s, but then seemed to come back toward the middle, as if rebalancing itself, so I hope that you will have the same occurrence. My C-0 is based on Zany's castille, but only 48% olive since so many here say they don't like...

It's a multi tasker alright. It was the organic go to because it was the pioneer and all we had competing with Lever Bros. et alia. ;) I would have bought it forever if I didn't start making my own. I always diluted it, which is or was the directions. It would be more cleansing if undiluted .

It's past my bedtime, lol! Ah, the lands "down under"!! Hope your day is as productive as you'd wish.

I came way too late to this party. Looks like they've all gone home, Donee'. :) It's great camping soap. That was pretty much its start, the liquid stuff pitched as a good environmental choice for campers. I'd never wash my face with it, and it's pretty cleansing, but I've always kept some...

@Hendejm's description most closely fits how I think about all this. Here's why. I had been washing my face with the same soap for about 7 years, but last year my lower face started pulling into weird 'folds' after washing, which I would then get rid of with my moisturizer -- hopefully before...

That's not too far-fetched. ;)
