Very cool! It's refreshing to see a nice insect pic on this site! Please post pics of the nymphs, would love to see them.

Susie - Just curious, what does Canola oil smell like to you? I love it and use it in soap and it just smells like oil to me, not strong in any way. It's high oleic, not sure if that makes a difference. I hate high OO soap. Too slippery and slimy. Don't like soy either.

Ginger Essence from Sweetcakes is the only ginger I have ever liked. I mix it with two other fragrances, but the blend is mostly Ginger Essence. I don't buy much from SC due to their high prices and high shipping, but this one I will buy. I love ginger and have sampled many, but I'm done...

DeeAnna - Thanks for the info. I will keep all my EO's in the fridge from now on. I only like a handful of them for soaping, lavender being my favorite.

AustinStraight - If you are interested, I have several different sandalwoods if you would like to try them. I can send you some samples so you don't have to go and purchase them all for testing. I have OT's Mysore and the Gemlite sandalwood that NotAlly liked, plus several others. PM me if...

Has anyone noticed their fragrances/EO's morph if kept in the metal containers you get them in? I have noticed a few that seem to have changed a bit and now I'm wondering if I should have put them in glass as soon as I received them. One was a fragrance from Lebermuth and one was an EO from...

Thank you both for the suggestions for the lemongrass. I have an old small sample that I don't like, so I hope this one smells better. That's exactly what I was thinking Carolyn!!!:razz:

Thanks Carolyn! I did not even think of it, plus it gave me an excuse to place an order. I also tried their Lavender 40/42, Lavandin and lemongrass. :think: Thanks Jules92207!

Thanks Dr. J and galaxyMLP for responding and giving me so much information. I ordered some eucalyptus E. globulus from New Directions, but have not received it yet. From what both of you said, I'm not sure I'm going to like it. I will try blending it with maybe 10X orange or lavender EO...

I have been using Eucalyptus Lemon from China purchased from New Directions. Carolyn Z. shared a small piece of soap with me made with this type of oil and I have been in love ever since. It sticks well and I find it refreshing. Although I think it smells great, I have read many think it...

Dorymae - Yes, I know some people make their own M&P base. I'm not upset, I know you were just trying to educate me. Seawolfe and cmzaha have both shared their lovely base with me and it's great stuff, but I know most do not make it. I know that if this soap company made it, they would be...

Thank you everyone for the encouragement and compliments. Even if the store does not decide they want them, it's the push I needed. My husband is really pushing me and is so supportive, so I gotta do it. That's an outrageous amount of money for moisturizing cream. The packaging doesn't...

I'm so irritated with these soapers that blatantly lie to customers to get them to buy their products. Thursday evening my husband and went into a very cute gardening new age store near where we live. I have always loved the store and they give classes and sell many pretty things…including...

Soapmaker145 - Always happy to help! Everyone on this site has been so generous and helpful to me through the years and I want to reciprocate whenever possible. I will have to try the Green Tea from MMS. I keep meaning to, but stop since the shipping is so high. Please let me know how...

Sorry for the delay in responding Soapmaker145. We are trying to buy a house and have been bogged down in paperwork. Crossing my fingers it all works out and I will have a big soaping room in the near future! My favorites from Lebermuth are: Velvet Tuberose - Super strong and long...

I'm happy you liked them!

It seems like not many people order from Lebermuth so I wanted to share their sample policy with anyone who may be interested in getting samples from them. I use a few of their fragrances and really like them. I requested one today and was sent the info below: Re: Lebermuth Sample...

I wanted to try it since everyone seems to like Brambleberry's Orange 10X so much, which I have never tried. I like the idea that Leb's is decolorized, but was not sure that by removing the color, the sticking power would be altered. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I love Praying Mantis! That is so cool your daughter is selling them now. I wish her much luck. We have an ant farm going right now and last summer we hatched a bunch monarch butterflies. If I had a garden, I would def. get some lovely Manti (Mantids?) to keep the bad bugs at bay. My...

My trick to making TD with no specks, the only thing that has worked for me: Put 2 cups oil soluble TD into a fine mesh strainer over a container of 3 cups warm oil, push through with a spoon. This takes about 10 minutes or so. Stick blend for 3 minutes, scraping it often. Put mixture...
