    Really?

    Glad I'm not the only one to be annoyed at WSP. I don't get free shipping being in Hawaii and the last order I received used really heavy compacted foam to package a dozen 4 oz FO bottles, making the shipping $41 because the packaging alone weighed more than a pound! And the worst thing is that...

    Coconut red curry with chick peas, red lentils, bnut squash and spinach

    I was gearing up to make a lentil stew so I made this with what I had: kabocha squash, leek, celery, green bell pepper, and red onion. I didn't have very much red curry paste left so I used a combination of red & green curry and roasted red pepper paste and added a big tablespoon of brown sugar...

    Wholesale Supplies Plus Sale - what time does it start?

    I ordered at about 3.30 am eastern time and luckily got all 4 FOs I wanted. Only thing was I was seduced by the prices and ordered too much Heavenly (VS type). Will probably try to sell some.... Good to know about the sale starting early though....

    Wholesale Supplies Plus Sale - what time does it start?

    I contacted them and it is EST. I'm in Hawaii and wanted to order at midnight but I will be out till 10.30 pm (which is 3.30 am EST) so I am hoping I won't miss out. It's not fair.....!

    Wholesale Supplies Plus Sale - what time does it start?

    I'm guessing it will start at midnight but does anyone know what time zone that is based on? I know that they are in Ohio but I don't want to presume anything...

    British Christmas Traditions

    Reading that makes me feel quite homesick! (being English and living in Hawaii). My family does all those things (but they watch Shaun the Sheep reruns not East Enders!). For a split second I thought that was my family with the paper hats on (they come out of the crackers btw).

    Wholesale Supplies Plus Sale - What to Expect?

    Thanks all! Probably worth the wait if it is 30% off. I know the June one was 25% so it could be...

    Wholesale Supplies Plus Sale - What to Expect?

    I remember hearing about a massive sale last year but I can't find out how much they discount their FOs? (even looked at their FB announcement for last year but there was no info). I need a few FOs and am wondering if it is worth waiting (especially as they will probably take a while to ship...

    Has anyone else read this article?

    Agree that the author doesn't have huge credibility but I would not be at all surprised if ED sells/sold adulterated oils. There are unfortunately quite a few companies, big and small, who lack integrity and mislead their customers. Look at Bulk Apothecary and their "synthetic Tuberose essential...

    Lard in lotion bars

    Wouldn't lard go rancid over time?

    Help ID supplier from label info...Nature's Garden?

    You are right that the companies are distributors - they don't manufacture their own FO's. But there are a few big companies supplying them, located mostly on the East Coast. I can't remember the exact number but I think it is 3 or 4.

    Save on Scents

    I have purchased a lot from SOS. They were the first FO company I discovered. If you order anything other than Extreme you will be using oil diluted with a carrier (most likely IPM) and I do wonder if even their Extreme Oils are somewhat diluted as they claim you can use them at a concentration...

    Are there any FO group buy places? OR is this not done?

    You didn't give the name of the group? :eh:

    Sweet Cakes Aria by Culti - Totally Degraded :(

    Hi Jen, Just saw your post! Just heard back from Sweet Cakes and am totally disappointed. In a nutshell: they told me I can be confident ordering from them because they don't send out old oils. And then gave me some storage tips for extending their shelf life! This is my response (not sent...

    Exactly. I have used Photshop LE but could not afford the full version. The Gimp learning curve is def worthwhile....

    Label Tutorial

    Great tutorial :) I have been using Gimp for several years and love it but it's definitely not as intuitive as Photoshop. Is 2.8.14 an update to 2.8 ? I have 2.8 so I'm not sure if I need to update....?

    Thanks for your feedback. I was wondering if I have no right to complain....

    Sweet Cakes Aria by Culti - Totally Degraded :(

    It will be interesting to see how they respond. Even if I had used it within the year, the fragrance needs to last longer than that in the hands of the consumer...

    Sweet Cakes Aria by Culti - Totally Degraded :(

    I absolutely adore this scent but have recently discovered that the first 4 oz I purchased in August 2014 has totally degraded to the point of smelling quite unpleasant. Unfortunately I purchased a pound of it in November 2014 and this has started to lose it's beautiful scent too. I'm SO...

    When did WSP FO's get so expensive?

    I am becoming a fan of FB. Apart from the prices and some great scents I love being able to buy just a pound of FO without being charged an arm and a leg for shipping! BB for would charge me $17.95 shipping for 1 lb of FO compared to $6.75 from Fragrance Buddy.... WSP is not free shipping to...
