****To clarify, I didn't mean the Monthly Challenge soaps are ugly 🙈🙈🙈 I meant there could be a thread for our own personal soap disasters. I hope I didn't upset anyone! **** I've had an idea...inspired by the monthly challenges, how about a "Ugliest Soap Imaginable" (aka USI soap)? Full...

Thank you so much. I'll give your suggestion a try

Those of you who keep a logbook, which one do you like? I'm just a hobby soaper...I wondered about Jan Berry's but it wouldn't be possible to ship it to the UK. I know there's also a download version but I prefer something that feels more special ☺️

Snot is indeed the accurate word,🤢

I used some hot processed soap I made about 4 weeks ago and it's got gross slimely strings coming off it when I use it. 😔 It's coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil and water. I didn't enjoy making it at the time either. Oh well. I hope the other batches (all cold processed and much more pleasant...

Thank you. I used eBay in the end

Great ideas, thank you

Thank you 😊

How do you store your mica powders so they're easy to use? Mine came in little ziplock bags but the powder clings to the plastic and sprays out a bit each time I open it. I'm wondering if little pots would be better? I'd love to hear any suggestions Thank you

I only want a few powders and one scent but I'm so stunned by the horrific postal charges! Three 5g mica powders and one 30ml fragrance oil = £5 delivery charge :oops: It seems most UK sites have similar charges. One has free p&p but the products are almost twice the price of the sites that...

Thank you. So do you put these in with the clothes?

I'm pretty astonished. DH walked past and joked that we'll never run out of soap bc I make some every day at the moment. I replied that I'd just finished all the lye I had so yeah, maybe I have made rather a lot. He comes back from picking up our daughter from her dance class and cheerfully...

Very interesting! What's a scrubbie? I haven't heard of scrubbies before here in the UK. I just read something about the possibility of mixing FO with vinegar and adding that to the conditioner drawer... apparently the clothes come out soft and scented.

ah, that's a shame thanks anyway

Would there ne a fragrance oil suitable for homemade laundry detergents? I know scent isn't necessary but I like it! thanks

Gosh, that's awful. I thought they were a good place to get things. I'll look at the Soap Kitchen

Thank you! I'm slowly getting better

I'm super happy bc I made a perfect-sized (and free!) mould and matching reusable liner! Naturally, I had to make some soap to test it out and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's worked :)

I can't spend to much on colours so was thinking of getting the three primary colours, cyan, yellow and magenta and then some white and blend colours from there. Does anyone know which colours from micamoma correspond to the three primary colours? Thanks

I really need to stop fiddling with swirls and thought this goat milk soap would be ugly bc I just kept retouching the swirls 🙄. It's not too bad actually! I'm definitely still a beginner!
