    Flavor oils?

    Does anyone have any favorite places to shop unsweetened flavor oils for lip butters? Seeking authentic and unusual. Would love to shop at Natures Flavors but they are very pricey, have an exceedingly bad online reputation, and seem to have two mysterious sister sites -- to much going on in...

    Maui Wildfires

    A few blankets arrive on Thursday, 8/17, and a few boxes of tampons & baby wipes arrive 8/28. It's not much, but its what I can do. Prayers for all.

    Cutting soap post-cure?

    I do this all the time. I experiment with creating guest-sized bars in sampler sets. I've cut bars that were a few months old, but my recipe is simple, not salt or anything unusually brittle, etc. I use a high-quality chef's knife for all of my cutting, and I experience exactly what @DeeAnna...

    Consignment best practices

    What @TheGecko mentions is entirely plausible too, sadly. It may be that this individual isn't trustworthy and it just took a while to see it. Consignment is a relationship that has a lot of opportunities to go wrong. You really need to have a clear plan in mind that makes consignment...

    Consignment best practices

    Wow. This relationship seems to have deteriorated rather quickly into something stressful for both of you. I agree with @Blufuz, and I think your spreadsheet, while nicely laid out for you, is a bit too much to ask a retailer to do. While she may have initially been ok with it, the hassles of...

    Alright chandlers, bring on the enabling...

    Casually browsing and considering my first wax melter. Nothing ginormous, 7-12 liters is MORE than enough. What is most important to me is ease of use, reliability and ease of cleaning. Eyeing the Makesy versions only because I know they go on sale from time to time and not sure if I can trust...

    Cedarwood EO--Yuck

    I don't use EOs but I do use a FO blend that is comprised mainly of cedarwood, eucalyptus, orange and basil leaf and it smells incredible, like sweet fresh water.

    Bubbles - effects of castor, sugar and other additives

    I'm pleased to report they have held up beautifully! And I'll be honest, I'm brutal on my equipment, and so were my horses. The lovely grain hide you use has remained supple and crack-free despite being worn in all manner of snowy conditions (and not receiving the best treatment from me...

    Bubbles - effects of castor, sugar and other additives

    Sorry to bust in with a complete non sequitur (though I am reading the topic with great interest, thank you @Mobjack Bay) — following the link reminded me that I've been itching to say to @DeeAnna: I am fairly certain I bought the most beautiful string of sleigh bells, hip strap bells, and...

    Fragrance Acquisition Syndrome

    When you are really really (really) happy when deliveries arrive and no one is there to witness it : )

    My other hobby

    I think I need some authentic Kiwi Hugh Jackman rocks..... Mr E: Why on earth are you bringing all these rocks to bed, dear? Me: They're pet rocks dahling, the new trend from the 60s is back, never you mind. ; )

    My other hobby

    HA! Thanks for the RR rabbit hole you led me down : ) (who am I kidding... its been a rough go lately, needed a little RR break from the daily drudgery). Right, best this digital maven could do: Wait for the NZ reference at :34 : ) Gosh durn it, he's adorable even with lizard skin and...

    My other hobby

    [swoon].... thud I can feel all my muscles relaxing and the stress draining out from between my ears, just imagining the meditative state you must reach to create these. They are AH-MAZING!

    @Saponificarian I actually haven't used it in soap yet, but I've been meaning too. It's been a very popular candle fragrance for me however.
