    What did you eat today?

    I bought a new Instant Vortex Air Fryer last month. I love it! It has shelves and a window with lighted interior. This is ALDI Naan bread that I made into a pizza. So good.

    Deodorized Cocoa Butter

    I’m still relatively new. Of course I have developed a quick addiction to making CP soap! I just bought some deodorized cocoa butter. When I opened the package, it smelled like a chocolate factory! Is this typical of “deodorized” cocoa butter? I used it anyway and added a modest amount of...

    Yankee Candle’s Sun & Sand

    I love the Sun & Sand Candle at Yankee - my all-time favorite. I have been making candles for three years and have been looking for a suitable FO. I finally found it today. Bulk Apothecary sells the FO and they nailed it. I recommend.

    Thanks so much Gecko! I’m laughing because I realized a couple bits of your good advice over the weekend. I walked into the room where I have about 15 bars of soap curing and I thought, “what am I going to do with all this?” 😂 I’m glad I have a big family and friends to help me evaluate.

    New Guy from Ohio

    Hello. I’m Ed and I’m new here. I’ve been here a few days. Looks like a great place to learn and share experiences in soap making. After three failed back surgeries left me disabled, I needed to find something that I could do since golf and bicycling are over for me. I can stand and walk for...

    Cannabis / Marijuana fragrance oils?

    🤓 I made cannabis and hemp candles and soap. I took a shower, lit the candle, and couldn’t stop listening to Dark Side of the Moon.
