    Tattoos

    Awe thanks Not_Ally... My wrist is a forever reminder of him so I think of him daily. He would have been 6 in April. But without him coming early we would have never had our 5th and a beautifully spirited child. She's amazing. He left so she could come to us. It's a bittersweet though we hold...

    Un-gelled soap doesn't last as long?

    Interesting.. I love un-gelled soap but might think about changing it up a bit and gel more. The look of un-gelled does make it seem as if it would be softer and creamier like the pastel type colors often given and thus would be more soluble if it acted like it looked. lol

    Guess who's master batching today!?

    Happy Birthday! I was just telling a friend how fabulous my 30's were and how much I enjoyed them. Being done with college and starting a family, career, etc.. it's a wonderful time. Here's to a great next 10 years for you! End of the month I celebrate the end of my 30's and am so sad!! As for...

    Raw shea butter

    I have raw Shea and the smell is blech. It's a darker beige/yellow so maybe mine is truely raw due to those things. It would likely lighten if whipped but not sure how white without a lighter item in there like some refined also. My similar color cocoa butter with refined shea gets pretty light.

    Un-gelled soap doesn't last as long?

    It's in the comments in her glycerin rivers post. I was looking for any new comments because she had retested. Here is a screen shot.

    Un-gelled soap doesn't last as long?

    Yeah that's why I was surprised to hear her say it.. It was on Auntielclaras. Id never in the last few years heard something like this or thought to question it so it surprised me.

    Un-gelled soap doesn't last as long?

    I love when I decide to peruse the crazenet late at night and find a bit of info by accident that makes me stop and say what??! I've never heard of this and in my experience once fully cured, gel vs non gel have no difference in their lasting affect that I've noticed. Why would they? Now I've...

    A little peeved with the booth I saw today

    Sorry Jen if you feel defensive of your stance.. I think we (or maybe just I) aren't so much defending her as saying here is another way to look at it through our eyes since they differ from yours. :) Not saying either is bad though or you are wrong for your thoughts on it. If you don't like...

    Regarding the use of Sport Card Boxes for Long Term Storage

    Navigator I was just curious about that possibility. I know some use boxes to hold the fragrance better or use a cotton ball with scent in there and claim it works.. but others have said it doesn't work well. Since we were on the subject of boxes I thought anyone who checked in here might be...

    Post you ugly soap pics here - Troubleshooting thread

    Not sure if those replies were for mine but if so.. Up close it's yuk. Ha. The peacock swirl turned out nice with 2-3 colors I look to have used, but the brown is just blah over it. Looks like dirt. Haha

    Packaging Hoarding

    I do but only to a certain point and once it's designated spot is full.. The rest goes to garbage. :)

    A little peeved with the booth I saw today

    I've bought unwrapped and markets and IMO I just considered it more homemade and 'earthy' I guess. Like anything it's a personal preference it seems and sounds like it would just be more work for her to keep it clean. And id want an ingredients list somewhere. One I recall I went to had them...

    Post you ugly soap pics here - Troubleshooting thread

    This ones from around 2 years ago and no idea why I still have it. This is after being steamed an the whole bar being shaved.. It weeped dark brown all over. It's still insane ugly but smells ok.. Blueberry crumble..but holy heck it has a lot of vanilla in it with all the brown I got. Used a...

    CP soap without palm oil

    That's how we feel about the drought.. Know several moving and people talking about it. Maybe I can finally get beach property at an affordable price! And right when they move the rains will come as they always have.

    Regarding the use of Sport Card Boxes for Long Term Storage

    Why the boxes again? I remember long ago reading about using them for holding in fragrance but that the conclusion as to if it worked was debateable? Mine have been in wire pull out racks last few years for air flow and quicker dry out but curious again with the boxes for fleeting fragrance...

    Soooo... microwave soap anyone?

    I've seen it on here but never tried it.. This one was different than another.. I don't understand the value in this? Actually didn't seem to be hp her way. I skipped through a little but saw each stage.
