    Whiskey Soap? How to?

    No. I threw it out. The lather stank too. I didn't use any fragrance in it though. I wanted to see how it would do and what it would smell like. I love that story! So creepy. D*mn waste of some good alcohol, too!

    Whiskey Soap? How to?

    I made soap with some Amontillado Sherry. Boiled down to a syrup, then added to water to make the lye solution. Smelled horrible, even in the finished product. Kind of like a rotten nut. It didn't seize though. But, it did heat up quite a bit.

    Frozen fragrance oil

    Has anyone had this happen? One of my fragrance oils from a company in the great white north arrived with some precipitate on the bottom in the form of some waxy chunks. I thought it was a bad batch of F/O and was contemplating calling the company, but then tonight, I read BB's post on...

    Frustrated! Pet products for dogs marketed for cats

    He does! lol! It's like leg feathers and ends about half way down his legs. They are cute, but total catch-alls, if you get my drift. He's also got that ruff that gets into the food, water bowl and caught in his mouth when he tries to lick it. It's funny. It's taken a while for them to get...

    Frustrated! Pet products for dogs marketed for cats

    No, no fleas. Just when he first came to me 4 years ago. Flea collars are especially noxious. I would never use them. The best is to keep your cat indoors and treat your home with baking soda and vacuum regularly to kill the eggs if you have a prob. But, we have no yard, so we never do. My...

    Frustrated! Pet products for dogs marketed for cats

    So, tonight, I get the weekly Fab.com Thursday email all about pet products. In it is a new pet shampoo/conditioner/flea-tick spray for pets. Sure, it has a dogs head on it, but on the company website it states dogs and cats. So, some of you saw a picture of my boy in the post Soap Guard...

    Not Cut yet but...

    Did you put it in the freezer to get it out of the mold? I do that with my pvc molds and the soap is always soft and slimy until it stops condensing and dries off. Looks good tho! What did you use for the brown that went pink?

    laptops

    Find out what it will take to run your school's online class interfaces. Most schools post their requirements on their distance learning site/portal. Then find one in your budget that hits all or most of the points that you require in a laptop. Though, I would get at least 500 gig hard drive...

    Uh oh - Olive Oil Shortage!

    What scared me was the mention of people selling adulterated olive oil and claiming that it is pure! Not cool! What if you have an allergy? Let alone the whole soap making issue....

    Photo Photo Camera!? Which best camera?

    Hi there! Honestly, as a former professional aviation photographer and sometimes working product photographer, any camera can give you good web quality photos as long as you understand what your camera can do and how to use it in the best light for your product. Though, if you are looking...
