In America, the HIPAA laws are in place so that something like that does not happen. If it does, it's a violation. Doctor's offices aren't even allowed to let the sign-in chart have other patient's names visible. (This is one of the most common violations though, BTW). If anyone goes through...

I thought I had pretty normal skin, but I've been using my own soap for a little over a year now. Dawn hates my skin, work soap hates my skin, sanitizers hate my skin! I thought maybe it was just me. I know using a hand sanitizer after is important, too, but man, they make my hands feel...

We got busy here with school, moving, understaffing at work, and life. Soap did not get made in time. Family gets what's on the racks already or bath bombs. But personally, I do not trust others to 'Do Not Open Until XXXXXX" because we can be like cats---curious and it can get us. (At least I...

Was so seriously hooked for ages then life caught up and I got behind. I am a marathon catcherupper though and the fella and I will watch all the seasons of a show in two weekends (or however long it takes, kind of like reading books I guess) and we haven't gotten around to catching up on WD...

Thanks for the heads up, Krista! I personally like strong scents that stay. My best testers right now are my co-workers and they seem to be the same, all but one. She liked the current peach I have, and an cherry almond I gave her to try, but her fella doesn't like the scents on the body...like...

And with all that water, if she is coloring with TD, will it come out with glycerin rivers? Sometimes that's a really cool look on purpose, sometimes notsomuch. Then there is the addition of glycerin, which I would have no idea what it would do in terms of glycerin rivers, because my chemistry...

OMG I love this. I use a notebook, I'm not that creative, but this looks handy. I put my notes in the computer later under One Note, and flesh them out, telling myself what I liked and didn't, noting mishaps, etc. Cause I usually always have something really good or really bad I want to...

Oh yeah, it was gorgeous OOB, and I couldn't wait to soap it-- visions of a lovely peach bar danced in my head. Instead, I got...armpit. I forgot what I wrote on the review. I think i was still searching for a comparison at that time. One time when I re-smelled, hoping it had cured out, it hit...

These are quite lovely! Thank you so much for sharing! Love the explanation of the Tarot Soaps!

If it is the same Peach FO I used from NG, please don't. Please huck that stuff right into the garbage. This advice comes from probably the un-pickiest nose on the board, too. It was awful. It smelled like armpit. It never got better. I finally gave it to my son, although I always keep a bar of...

'Saponifier' among some other things/descriptions might make for interesting conversation, at any rate?

I've read somewhere here haven't I, that some butchers will not sell/give the fat so that we can render it? I may be going off faulty memory here.

a good lye calculator for beginners is at Brambleberry. I used that one when I began. It's accurate and no fuss. There are plenty of tutorials right here to search out to help you learn to use SoapCalc, which is more intense. Start reading now about the acids in oils and the properties they...

I didn't get time to get this one, either, I am still playing gypsy, running back and forth between houses, car still in the shop. It's almost finished but now the man is home sick. Maybe next month, but I still plan on trying to learn the technique! Everyone's posting some awesome feathers!!

Hello and welcome! Sounds like the lumps are a trace thing, which you will learn to manipulate through trial and error. Actually seeing your batches trace helps, after you have been reading for ages. You will eventually learn how and why to work with thin and thick traces, and even welcome...

Dern I missed the whole thing! Now why do people like that got to act like they are Queen Elizabeth just because they've made some soap? Ugh. My hillbilly is coming out. Thank you Deanna for all of your posts and info, and your grace. Now I have masses to catch up on, so much for the new...

Is it possible for her to sign up for Obamacare? The options for adult dental care here are ..not many, but there are a couple. I was working full time and had insurance when I had something similar done, so I cannot help much as far as what she might do to pay for it, other than it sounds...

Interesting to hear that some people are concerned that Cetaphil may contain long term carcinogens. I really do not doubt it. Big companies seem to be able to get away with everything, while we can't even say our handmade stuff is good for acne or eczema, when we we know it is. (Thank you, snake...

I wonder, what do florists do to preserve dried flowers? Is there some sort of clear glue, spray, protectant we could be spraying on them, letting it dry, before we subject them to the wet soap/lye? Or whatever it is that make them turn when we set them on top? I mean, we knock them off before...

Not sure if I will get to this or not, now. At least on time. The car fell down, boyfriend/hubby mechanic figure currently has the engine completely out of it and is performing several surgeries, so Solomon and I are displaced to his house for about a week and a half while parts get ordered and...
