    Yes, a box fan. I suppose it could be called overkill.

    Old Fragrance Oils

    An old nun told me once that growing old was a process of letting go. I'll be 67 this month and I am already beginning to see what she meant.

    What next?

    Probably going to make some soap today. I have five FOs making eyes at me. I can't make up my mind. Suggestions are welcome! 1) Love Spell - A mix of orange, peach, cherry blossom and white jasmine. For colors, I was thinking a white base with red and pink ITP swirls. 2) Bamboo - Bright...

    They ARE commercial dishwasher trays - the kind used for silverware, as I remember. (I was a dishwasher while in university.). Seems to me, I got them for less than $10 each.

    I was thinking that I should clean up my bars before the initial photo taking. I took these pics immediately after the cut. They reminded me of just born babies before they get cleaned up - not the most photogenic things in the world. ;)

    And a couple more... And the scent from Candora (Hibiscus & Ylang Ylang) is fantastic (so far).

    We made the cut this morning and... The slab pics were unimpressive and I was a little worried. I knew we had poured a lot of color and I wondered where it all went: Then, after the cut, it was, "Oh! That's where all the color went!"

    The soap is made - 5 color ITP. The soap recipe was my new standard. The FO was totally new to me. "Accelerates just a little" might be a kind way of saying "Beware the acceleration!".

    I think I'm going to use an FO from a Canadian source, Candora Soaps. The scent is Hibiscus Ylang Ylang. I looked up the colors for Hibiscus: orange, yellow, red, pink, purple and white. I'll do an ITP swirl and, since I have 5 long spout pitchers, I'll use the first 5 colors. This will be...

    Hi All! I hope to be going to the Good Ol' USA for American Thanksgiving. (I've been stranded in Canada for over 2 years! - long story, don't ask.) Anyway, I want to put in an order to Nurture Soaps for some Trial By Fire mica, but while I am doing an order, I might as well get other...

    Swirls - Opus 7

    They only smell it when they get up close to me and I am sweating (sorry, perspiring) a little. ;) I usually use 1 cup (250 mls) of scent for 40 hefty sized bars - 5129 gms of oils. My whole batch is over 11 pounds.
