    Samples

    Just that LOL-My normal label with the scent name as "Sampler pack" and a freestanding sign that says "Try several great scents at once with our sampler pack! Also great for traveling and guest rooms". . I now use the boxes with windows so I'll put the colorful ones in the middle to be the most...

    Vegetable Growing

    I'm in Florida, my growing season is in weeks due to the heat and bugs. So far the only thing that survived this far is...broccoli! I was suprised. The bok choy greens types do the best until the bugs move in. My "guest" cherry tomatoes (darn squirrels) went about 100 tomoatoes each before...

    Samples

    I actually ended up changing my sale bin up because too many sales came out of it...originally I was using full sized bars that just didn't work right. Now that I went through most of my backstock, newer sale bin offerings are smaller bars. Some customers were complaining but I explained that is...

    Subbing sugar for salt in scrub recipe changes recipe?

    Thanks! I mean I expected a bit of difference but it keeps getting mushier and mushier. I'm looking for something I can make without buying someone else's "secret" (foaming whip) ingredient anyway, this was just a test. I do have some emulsifiers around. Currently poking through the book to see...

    Whipped Soap Help

    Hrm maybe think of it as a paste that takes two months to saponify? LOL... this is when multiple projects at the same time comes in handy, just making sure you label your "in wait" stuff well. Now hrm is this a balm base or something else....

    Subbing sugar for salt in scrub recipe changes recipe?

    Okay, well, that changes things. I have Barclay's book for Anhydrous products, I think I'll go through that and see what recipes she has in it. Save the whip for something...whipped? (Waiting for my mixer to come in). *grumble*.....Well, at least I halved the recipe to test and I can use up what...

    I always notice a huge uptick right before Christmas (ooo I'm going to make gifts in two weeks!) or after one of those startup shows features a soapmaker.

    Subbing sugar for salt in scrub recipe changes recipe?

    I've been wanting to play with scrubs and did a bunch of research...I thought. I followed a recipe on WSP's site http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/handmade101/how-to-make-recipes/salt-scrub-scoops-melon.aspx for a salt scrub but subbed in sugar, thinking it couldn't be *that* different. The...

    Whipped Soap Help

    "A couple of recipes I saw also stated you have to wait 2 months to work with it. That's what has really turned me off. While has 2 months to figure out whether your recipe works?!?! Are you waiting that much time between too?" Errrrr I'm not sure how you meant that, but since you need to wait...

    Can you use tube silicone to add details to existing silicone mold?

    I tried the white version that claimed to be 100% silicone on a cheapo walmart ice cube mold, that's a no go as it peeled right off :(. earlene, I was reading with interest the DIY molds, did you use the clear stuff? I don't care about vinegar smells LOL. They don't make what I have in mind...

    I couldn't find this on a search...I have a silicone mold thats the right shape and size for a project but I need to add some detailing to it. Trying to figure out if the silicone in a tube would work? Has anyone tried this? I'm reluctant to toally mess up a mold...although I may have too :).
