That is wonderful news about Cheryl! sending prayers to you both!

I just sat stirring oils in my crockpot to try making a soap paste for an hour, I couldn’t figure out why the coconut oil wasn’t melting. It always helps if you plug it in! 😂 Maybe I shouldn’t soap while I’m at work!!!!!

Awww thanks!!! That really means a lot to me! Especially coming from someone as experienced as you

Ok here goes! One of my favorite rock bands is Godsmack, and my two favorite songs are VooDoo and Serenity. The first soap is Serenity, I scented with Lavender EO. I tried a Luna swirl using the icky micas I got off Amazon before I knew any better and Titanium Dioxide. The second one is...

I just used this on my phone and it was really easy one I figured out how to add the oils and adjust the lye and super fat. I printed out the recipe and I really liked the layout and the information. I was able to save the recipe as well

Oh how cute!!!!

@basti WOW those are stunning!!!!! I’m totally outclassed here lol. Someday I hope mine look that beautiful!!!!! I think you need to do a soap design class for us newbies!

What a beautiful soap!

I roll up the little shaving scraps into a little tiny ball and use that along with my end scraps.

I tried a pull thru design yesterday and cut it today. Had issues with 2 colors going gloopy, so I now know it’s the cheep micas not me. A few of them came out kinda cool, I see a horse head in one and a cartoon face in another one. I did have a lot of fun with this one. ETA: I do think these...

I made my soap yesterday, now on pins and needles until I can cut it 😁

Another piece of the puzzle added, thank you! I started getting ash and could not figure out why….because I am a stick blender abuser on the road to recovery I’ve been blending to emulsion, and I soap at 110.

What do you replace the castor oil with? I use olive oil and coconut oil for my liquid oils

I just cut 3 different batches this morning. The first one is my first attempt at a Luna swirl. The second one is my second attempt that went wrong, but it’s my favorite one so far. The third one is a coffee soap. Holy cow it smelled like a cheap cigar shop!!! I forgot to add the ground coffee...

I do it every single time…. One more little burst and I’ll stop. Oh, wait, I think it needs one more. Poop. I shouldn’t have done that!

I learned several important things today. I got it through my thick head to stick to one recipe. I don’t need 8+ ingredients to make a nice soap. I sure can’t tell the difference! Titanium dioxide accelerates trace and needs more water than I used. Even if the batter gets too thick during your...

I learned I am a chronic stick blender abuser. I watched this video that helped me understand the different stages and I’m on the road to recovery lol. I try to get to emulsion, mix in my scent and color and hand stir with a spoontula from there

So I got brave enough to try a hanger swirl. I only used 2 colors since I’m still figuring out emulsion and trace, I always think it’s not quite ther, give one more 2 second burst and OOPS I did it again lol. It was supposed to be a black and white swirl ( should have used activated charcoal)...

I’m so happy for you! You deserve every wonderful thing that is coming your way!!!!!!
