Spaghetti

Surfing the soap forum while sipping an Irish coffee (sorry, no pics)....

I lived in Hawaii for a year and just recently came back to my native NW. The climates are very different, but I still found the elements harsh enough in both that I used a conditioning soap with Shea butter and almond oil in both places. Cheers! Anna Marie

I think they have a pretty, rustic look to them! I don't like perfect soap :-) Cheers! Anna Marie

DeeAnna, I second Soap Rat's comments about all you do: you are awesome-truly! I actually feel pretty honored to be a part of a great group lab experiment like this, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Truthfully, it also gives my mind something to chew on which has been lacking in my life. I...

I won't argue with the hypocrisy point- we are all guilty. The truth is I have to NOT think about the meat I am eating, or I would be a vegetarian today- not because of a moral standpoint, but because of the idea of WHAT I am eating. Years ago I tried lamb for the first time. I chewed, and...

I have done this recipe with the extra water and "proper" lye amount- it didn't work. I have experimented with different levels of water and "proper" lye- it didn't work. I am currently working backwards on sf and have recently done a 32.5% sf that looks the same, but I have not done the "goo"...

I'm guessing you're using unrefined Shea butter? I don't like the smell or the look either. I now get naturally refined Shea butter from Brambleberry that I really love because it's white, doesn't stink, and works wonderfully in soaps and lotion bars- but it's not organic. I have used mango...

Love those fluffy tops!

Those are too cool- especially the top one! Did you reverse pour on the opposite side a couple times to get that look? Still working on colors for mine... Cheers! Anna Marie

These sound so fresh and summer-y!

I am all over this one!

I love making bread and have collected and tried many recipes over 20 years. I will have to dig out my microwaved (yes, microwaved) English muffin bread for you that actually tastes good. I got it out of a New England cookbook that I really like and is still buried somewhere among my possessions...

This is the recipe I think I'll be trying for St. Patty's Day, but I will be starting with an already cured cut of meat so I'll ignore the curing portion. Looking forward to this meal! http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/homemade-irish-corned-beef-and-vegetables

I think your answer takes the prize here :clap::clap:

....when you've joined a soap forum :crazy:

This is a DeeAnna question. See if you can lure her out....:-) Cheers! Anna Marie

I am interested in reading this book. I have another book, "Advanced Aromatherapy" that is excellent and informative. I do occasionally consume eo's, but only oils that are GRAS. I do think there is a lot of value in eo's, but it needs to be approached with caution and respect. It would be nice...

I was interested in your statement, so I googled it. Apparently, it was Young Living who brought these allegations and had the "independent" lab work done???? I'll have to keep searching for a more solid story on it. I'm not saying it is or isn't true, but given who's involved I'm going to...

I swapped out the soy bean for sunflower in this recipe. I've been using it for a week now, and I can't believe how soft my hair is. The last shampoo bar I tried made my hair yucky! Cheers! Anna Marie
