    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Thank you so much for this. I hadn’t thought of the soap scum! Yikes! I’m so sorry about your husband’s health. It is very hard indeed – my friend was told that the next level of meds for her were as strong as chemo meds. This was what made her relook her diet. I hope that things get much...

    Insulating coconut oil soap

    Thank you! The first time we made it, it was winter and the kitchen was terribly chilly. It’s like a furnace now that it’s June – the last soap cracked at the top.

    Insulating coconut oil soap

    We love coconut oil in our soaps and one is 100% coconut oil with 25-% superfat. We used smaller, individual moulds once and they turned out a lovely milky white. Another time, we used a loaf mould and it was not as white/milky. A third time, we used a blue mica and it was cute, but there was...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I love coconut oil soaps too! We make a100% coconut one with 25% superfat. It doesn’t feel too drying. Don’t know if it’s just me. @AliOop and @Shelley D I have a friend who has psoriasis… some of her meds are no longer working and she has completely revamped her diet. She is better now...

    Hi, Sandra! Welcome! Lovely tradition and memories :) It’s wonderful that you’re working on shampoo and conditioner bars. The less plastic/packaging in this world, the better!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    @Vicki C I relate! We have to leave for Singapore to visit family in a few days’ time and all my son and I can think about is: Do we have enough time for just ONE more soap? We have cleared the table, lined up our EOs, bought some oil and recruited my sister-in-law to babysit our soap as it...

    Chinese M&P soap bases

    Hi! I’m new here … My son and I started out with Melt & Pours. It isn’t easy to get quality materials here (I’m based in Islamabad presently) sometimes. It can be hit and miss because there is no way to verify the quality of certain products. We bought M&P bases from a company that packaged...

    Does it matter? Olive Oil vs Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    Sorry if this is a silly question. Is regular olive oil the same as extra light olive oil? I've been to the markets here and they sell extra virgin, pomace and extra light.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write this even though you're going through a tough time. I do like the blue and love that ocean connection :) I was so sure it would look tacky but phew! Everyone's been so kind and encouraging here ... I can't help but be inspired to keep trying ❤️
