    keeping pipettes clean

    I wrap them in a 'tube' of paper towel, label the towel with black marker and attach them to the FO bottle in question with a rubber band so I can reuse (all my bottles are kept in boxes so it's clean enough). I used to throw them out after one use but I found that I would run out pretty...

    Rescue snake update

    Wow. He seems quite happy to be handled. What type is he? I'm wondering how you can tell a snake's gender?!

    color for solid perfume

    I think you've hit the nail on the head: nobody here makes colored solid perfume....;) But you could use any oil-soluble color - lip balm colors plus micas for shimmer.

    Would glitter on handmade soap be considered 'natural'?

    It is even less natural than other 'not truly natural' soaps! I try not to focus on how other people are describing and labeling their products because it makes me so mad and I have finally accepted that I can't do much about it :neutral:

    The most beautiful packaging/labels I've seen

    Hi Jenna! And congratulations on having soaps worthy of a discussion on the forum :) I love your packaging - the font and the paper are gorgeous. Not that you are asking for feedback but....I think it would be even better if you could get the images to correspond to the scent :)

    Shipping charges on EO/FO's can be ridiculous! Is this unique to my suppliers?

    Yes, I've really had to do the math living in Hawaii. I mostly get FOs and other heavy ingredients only from companies that will ship flat rate (like Lotion Crafter and Bramble Berry). The exception to this is Sweet Cakes, who have some FO's that I am willing to pay big bucks to ship!

    Who should I trust?

    Sounds weird but I'm glad it went well for you. Just imagining vendors surrounding the two organizers chanting 'Fight, fight, fight...' LOL

    Who should I trust?

    I would probably pay this time, just to make sure I got in, but still pursue the issue.... But let us know what happens?

    The Indian Food Thread

    That is the main thing I miss here in Hawaii! However, there is now one restaurant on Maui :)

    The Indian Food Thread

    I'm guessing you live in the US? I live in Hawaii but am from England, where there is at least one Indian restaurant in the smallest of towns. Indian food is so popular here that Chicken Tikka Masala is considered our 'national dish'. My family almost always goes to Indian restaurants for...

    Ylang Ylang - can anyone explain the smell?

    Coriander EO is distilled from the seeds and the smell is really quite different from the leaves, so I'm not surprised you like one and not the other....

    Ylang Ylang - can anyone explain the smell?

    I must be a Scent **** because I honestly cannot think of a fragrance type that I don't like! Same with food.... And I add cilantro to everything - eggs, salad, soup, stir fries. I even take extra cilantro with me if going to an Indian restaurant because however much I ask, they never give me...

    Ylang Ylang - can anyone explain the smell?

    Here's an interesting description from Fragrantica: "Rich, floral, banana-toned, jasmine nuances, sweet and narcotic". Never heard it described as banana-toned before! I like Ylang Ylang but really only use it in blends...

    Courtesy on the Forum

    Agree totally. But I haven't seen anything disrespectful recently....?

    Customer Asking for Info about Allergic Reaction

    I would think the most likely culprit would be the fragrance. But really, you don't know for sure that it was the soap. I could have been something he ate....

    5 Most Popular Scents?

    Gardenia essential oil does not exist. Tiny amounts of enfleurage and absolute have occasionally been produced at extreme cost but this is not something you would use in soap! You must be talking about fragrance oils....?

    Not Ready To Sell, However

    I was vaguely thinking of the Rocky Top Soap Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/RockyTopSoapShop He keeps it really simple, with kraft labels and a rustic look. And look at the sales...! That's a great idea :) You're welcome. This font is called CF Trash Zone and I got it from DaFont.com They...

    Not Ready To Sell, However

    Yes, it's definitely a process. I have made websites for my own businesses and when I look back at the first one I made 15 years ago (that I was SO proud of) I just cringe! :lolno:
