Just had a though and want to know what everyone thinks.. Is it possible that dehydrating soap could actually slow the curing process because it sucks out all of the water that is needed to help form the molecular structure of the soap? Or am I just way off? lol

Wish my dog was that apologetic when she chews my couch......

I completely agree. She may not have much either, but she'd have even less by the time I got through paying her share of the rent.. One time, ok. It's an inconvenience but you can pay me back later. Two times? Negative ghost rider.. your coughing up the cash one way or another..lol. You'll get...

Definitely soap abuse.. seems to be bordering cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me..lol

I experimented with a batch containing 10% cocoa and I could smell it in the cured bars. To be fair, I can't stand the scent of cocoa butter, so I may have just been picking up on it because I don't like it.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Looking at the inside, I definitely agree that this batch got a little hot. The only time I've had glycerin rivers is when my soaps got a little too warm while I CPOP'd

Also, they ship via USPS and she refunds any overages after she ships. last time I ordered, I was refunded $7

He looks beautiful! I hate that people are killing them put of fear..

I've had several people contact me saying they bought from me from shows and we're wanting to shop in person between shows. Thing is, I haven't had much luck with my products in the local consignment and wholesale shops because they usually have other bath and body products as well as mine and...

I picked up a stainless Mainstays bowl from Walmart for about $10. It's narrow enough at the bottom that I can use it for as little as 36 ounces of oil (and probably less than that), but my 60 ounces of oil batches still only fill it about half way. Plus, since it's SS, I can use it ad my double...

I wish we had a Humane Society or similar in my tiny podunk town.. literally, the police/sheriff are the ones who investigate and they cannot intervene so long as the animal has food, water, and shelter, no matter the shape of the animal. Even then, they can only give a fine, not confiscate the...

Good for you Cactuslily! I can't understand how anyone can mistreat living creatures :/ It breaks my heart..

You guys are awesome! I'm glad I'm not the only animal napper here lol. He's definitely going to have a better life away from the neighbors. I do feel bad for the little boy though, because he's going to be heartbroken about his missing puppy for a while :/

I wish i could hope that.. this is the second puppy that they've gotten.. the first was a similar story and my brother-in-law finally asked the neighbors if they could have the dog since he was always at my MIL's house anyway. I'm not positive, but I'm definitely thinking pit. Most likely a...

Confession.. I did a very, very bad thing and actually stole him from my mother-in-law's neighbor.. In all actuality, however, I rescued him from people who shouldn't have a dog in the first place. Poor little guy can't be more than 6 weeks old and the neighbors have had him for a few weeks now...

Not positive, but I'm guessing the new Twilight book that just came out. If so, Pryncess, you'll have to let me know if it's any good!

There was a calculation somewhere on the forim about how much citric acid is in an ounce of orange juice. I'll see if I can find it.. I remember o only had to drop my SF by 1% though, so instead of 5%, I calculated my recipe for 4% so it would have the regular 5% SF

Hot infusions or juice. Most of my hot infusions were done directly into my batch oils, so they didn't infuse more than an hour or two. I didnt strain it either. I have done a cucumber puree before. It turned almost instantly a tan - green and probably would have continued to fade over the...

In my experience, natural colors hold up so long as they are not exposed to sunlight. The moment they are, they start fading, usually to brown. Some are more sensitive and fade quickly, like spinach, and some take much longer like alkanet, but they all eventually fade. I have some pumpkin puree...

HA! Deer stomach is the absolute worst smell in the world.. lol
