A few months ago I had a beautiful, ginormous bruise blossom on the inside of my thigh just above my knee. It started with a small painful knot under my skin and over the course of a couple of days, spread to an impressive size. I could not cover it completely with my hand. I have no idea...

Agreed with SoapTrey. I got a lye bead stuck in the material of my sock once and didn't realize it. At least, not until I sat down at the counter and pressed the top of my foot to the back of the cabinet, and thus, the lye bead on through my sock and up against my slightly sweaty sock covered...

Wholesale Supplies Plus

I'm not even sure which section of the forum this belongs in, so as I would be using one to decorate soap, I'll go with this one (and not be upset if it is moved). Has anyone gotten one or three of those mica sprayer things that all the suppliers seem to be offering now and tried them out for...

Which Sam's? I don't remember how close you are to Marion. I don't need any right now (I just bought a 50lb block from Soaper's Choice and more than half of that is in the freezer right now) but in the future...

LOL, careful about asking someone with genuine synesthesia there. The color might be totally off the wall. ;)

I don't think WSP tests any of their fragrances in any capacity from what I can tell. I tend to read reviews before I buy anything that I haven't used before.

Geez, if my first batch had gone like that I probably would have never tried again! It's a great (funny) story to look back on, but wow!

Mine was a Soap Queen recipe too. 30/30/30 Palm, Olive and coconut I think. There might still be a scrap of a bar around the house someplace. I didn't like it much after I started making my own recipes. I'm one of those for whom too much CO can be an issue. I didn't color it, but I did use their...

Where did you get the directions you followed for this mix? Did you google EO usage rages in cold process soap? Here's a decent usage rate calculator: http://www.eocalc.com/enter-your-own-blend/ I don't tend to use much EO in my soap as I prefer fragrance oils, but I used this site to determine...

It's been so weird for me the past few days seeing Carbondale talked about online in so many places where it seemed most folks kind of ignored that southern IL existed for the longest time (if I had a buck for every time I told someone I was from IL and they went 'oh, Chicago?' I'd be rich)...

I was across the river at the other regional university. We didn't get quite so long as the Dale, but our skies were totally clear and totality was both eerie and BEAUTIFUL.

So, I was recently gifted a bunch of things from a friend who decided she didn't want to soap anymore, and among those things was several 2lb buckets of NaOH from Camden Gray. I went to feel of them yesterday and seems the beads had clumped, but broke up fairly easily when I squeezed the tubs...

I'll try to remember to let you know how the suds look. I kind of expect them to just be gray from the AC that makes the black.

So, those of y'all that sell, how many different soap recipes do you use, do you price them all the same if you do use a variety or do you try to clearly market each bar as different so customers aren't confused as to why the bars are priced different and don't just go for the cheapest one all...

She's laying on my feet right now. She's still 'Midnight' as far as 'Midnight' goes. She was up on my pillow IN MY FACE this morning at waytoofreakingearlyforSaturday screaming at me because I wasn't up. So, she's fine, will be fine for a little bit yet, I expect. The antibiotics have helped her...

The vets (more than one) at this clinic and I have discussed it, and it's really a catch 22. Her kidneys are bad, were bad when we first discussed her teeth, which means she won't process the anesthesia drugs very well, may even exacerbate kidney issues (i.e. we clean her teeth and her mouth is...

is that the 'old' part eventually winds down to an end and you're never quite prepared. My little 19 year old cat had one side of her face swollen this morning so I got her in to the vet and left with antibiotics and the echo of what's been on my mind for the last couple of years having been...

I recently used WSP's Witches Brew in a soap. It is patchouli, cedarwood and cinnamon - woodsy, earthy and spicy. I never would have thought of adding cinnamon to patch and cedar, but it really works.

No. The black is activated charcoal I got from Brambleberry and the neons are from Micas n More. Obviously, being a child of the 80s as I am, I must get more so that I can continue with my loud soap. ;)
