I used up all of my master batched oils and lye today. I finally have a closing date and I am moving to my new house in a month. I didn't want to move oils and lye . So I made five batches of soap. All solid colors for simplicity. I used fragrances I'd never tried before. They ALL got really...

I am so tired of sticky sweet fragrances (my sister adores them and I've been giving her a lot of soap) ... but I SO want to try these! A fellow soaper on the Arizona Soap Supply FB page posted these recently. I can hardly believe they aren't actual cookies.

They look fantastic! The scent description goes perfect with the colors and design.

Don't overdo it!

I think this is such a beautiful, elegant looking bar. I've got Baja Cactus Blossom in transit to me at the moment, and I'm really hoping it connects with me - I do love floral fragrances but anything that is too sweet gets on my nerves. I am not a fan of sweet, bakery type scents but my sister...

Wow - that's a gorgeous soap. My red was pale, similar to yours. I think I will try using a bit more next time until I reach a richer red. I also didn't want to overdo it on such a powerful color. It was amazing to watch those three colors blend into red in the cup. I was doubtful at first lol.

I'm in the Phoenix area. When it is only in the 90's during the day I start venturing outside again. When it drops into the 80's I will actually *do* stuff outside. When it gets into the 70's I'll have to start carrying a jacket with me.:p OMG ... I hope you manage to keep the water out. :eek:

Reading this was like trying to catch a greased pig. Just as I think I've got it - it slips away. I will wait for someone to summarize LOL.

I cut a soap that I made last night using NS new true red mica trio. It came out a pinkish red. I am pretty sure I just need to use more in the batter (which was fairly white). When I mixed it up in olive oil to pre-disperse - it definitely looked red. I weighed out each of the parts to the...

I live in Arizona so I'm looking for a good cactus type fragrance to have around - just because I love cactus lol. Thanks for the info though. I am glad I didn't order a large bottle. I'll have to wait and see.. just got the shipping info. Good to know about the acceleration. My main recipe...

:( Such a bummer of a day - I'm sorry so much went wrong all at once. Hopefully, things will be better after a day off. Hang in there!

I just ordered Baja Cactus Blossom. I have had it in my cart at WSP forever, but they charge way too much for shipping so I never actually ordered from them. The reviews were very good for this scent so i have high expectations. I'm going to be keeping an eye on the reviews for this company...

You don't *have* to ever sell your soaps. I don't, and I don't plan to. I've been there, done that (not soap - haircare products - completely created and manufactured by me). It took the joy out of it .. for me. It's a very individual thing. You have to be willing to take on the business aspect...

I made a lot of recipes in 1-lb batches side by side so I could compare them. So I would have like 4 different recipes in the shower with me at the same time LOL. All very similar, because I tried to keep the adjustments simple and in the same "realm". For example, I would keep all the oils the...

I can do simple swirls and such with my favorite. But for anything that requires a little time, and a more fluid batter I'm just going to work with my #2 recipe. It's pretty darn good too, but still has room for improvement. Gorgeous!! I am very excited about finally having a "go-to" recipe...

Today I master batched oils. I measured out a ginormous batch, melted and blended everything together and measured out into batch weights in sealable containers that are large enough to mix the recipe in later. Yay! I'm ready to commit to a base recipe because I have finally found "The One."...

Do you like florals? You could do any floral, add a deeper base note and call it "black" or "midnight". For example: "Black Rose" or "Midnight Rose". I was not extremely creative - I used "black" raspberry vanilla :lol: .

Adorable!

GORGEOUS

Oh my goodness. I hope you have been able to manage your pain today. I'm so sorry to hear this.
