I am waiting on supplies too... Found a new supplier for cold-pressed coconut oil and was all excited, but they are slow and unresponsive. After much pestering they finally responded that the CO has been dispatched. Like pulling teeth, I tell you. The boy and I are excited to try some new...

Hi, Cecile! You've definitely landed in the right place! I am new at soapmaking and this place has been such a blessing. What sparked your interest?

I am so sorry... praying for Cheryl. May she be blessed with healing and comfort.

OMG!!! I have those bee moulds... they are SO CUTE!!! I can't wait to get started now!!! Thank you! I now need to exercise some restraint. I have a tendency to go all in LOL.

I did the following: strained several times through a sieve and cheese cloth poured in a layer of flour to push down the impurities and then pouring again through a cheese cloth, leaving behind the flour and gritty bits heat with ginger and lemon grass to remove the smell I am still...

Hi everyone! I am trying to make some lotion bars for winter ... I'm a tropical girl and the cold weather does not agree with me! This will be my first time doing this, so I was wondering how much you make at a time and how they keep. Also, what size is each bar you make? What's the best mould...
