hutcar92, you mentioned adding your lye to your oils when you lye goes clear. Mine goes clear relatively quickly. What is your temp? Are you gelling or avoiding gel?

Did you dilute your GM out of curiosity? I too have a terrible time with ash. I'm going to start using a water discount to see if it helps not only my ash, but my mottling. It's a steep learning curve, right? However, if we could definitively come up with a cure for ash, we'd be rich...well, not...

I did look at the fragrance finder, but didn't see any lush dupes listed. However, it was 3:00am. Shunt2011, I didn't know they used olive branch in this as well. TY! I'll check it out! I truly appreciate your investigative skills :-)

I haven't HP'd yet either. I should probably do this at least once to familiarize myself with this technique. However, it's good to know leaving in the bowl could also be an option when the time comes. Now that I've said that, and am trying some new FO's it'll probably happen :-( Thanks D!

Recently, I've noticed my soaps haven't been gelling. Perhaps it's a combination of soaping cooler, using silicone, and living in the desert. It's getting pretty warm, and I prefer to live in an igloo, which got me thinking the other day. I was at a store an noticed the large igloo coolers on...

Hi christina! Welcome! I think we all can relate to loving the art and creativity that soap brings in all its forms. Happy you signed on!

The more I look at the ingredient list of oils, I think the other ingredients are adding to it, because I was really surprised to see that they were citruses. There is also gardenia extract, but when I looked that up, it states it's used for coloring, which surprised me. The product is called...

I'm in love with a scent that I got as a bubble bar. It's from that big chain that sells "natural & organic" for an arm and a leg. It lists the ingredients. Can I try and replicate the fragrance? Is the first listed EO the one with highest concentration! I've never done this before, but I'm so...

Sorry ally, I can't claim responsibility for the soap you're remembering. I'm going to try this for the first time using a T&S mold. Holds 60 oz of liquid. I was estimating to use 6 oz of MP as one of the colors. Is this enough?

This may be a slight deviation,(read hijack), but I'm going to try the CP with a MP drop swirl. Is there a good ratio to do?

I've seen people spray their micas with alcohol. They mix immediately and you can then add to M P

Predators are just that, predators. As such they will see something that looks like technology and remove it if visible. That's what I liked about the cuff product. It comes with options of necklaces etc.. Hopefully, that will not be obvious. You can never be too careful. While I haven't...

I'm so grateful to people that do that. Perhaps I've been spoiled, but my last order of FO's from a vendor I've never purchased from before didn't include anything. I kept searching the box thinking sure.y it was in there somewhere. Samples not only make loyal customers if the product is good...

I would love some of your EO's Lemongrass Niaouli Lemon eucalyptus Lit sea cubea Please? pM me how to pay

Welcome Zelichan! You're in a great place to get any assistance you may need from an amazing group of people! I can't tell you how much they have all helped me.

Just wanted to add, I love Amy's healthy baking blog. She has great tasting recipes, and is great about replying to questions. Your recipe looks so good! I also use unsweetened applesauce in lieu of most sugar. I have an almost fat free chocolate cake that my kids like better than full fat.

MorpheusPA, now you're just showing off :-) You are amazing, and such an asset to my learning. Thank you! Please write a book, or booklet...I'd buy it!

Toot toot! They're lovely!

Welcome to the forum, and the addiction!

This creed dupe was the first of many fo's I ordered from SC. There's not much descriptive info regarding behavior, but so far OOB, all but one smells fantastic. I was a bit surprised they didn't send a sample of anything with my order. Perhaps I've been spoiled by other vendors I e used, but...
