I had a similar thing happen a few months ago when it was Winter (and it gets very cold down here in Tassie) - and our wood heater was broken so we were relying on the heat pump. My soaps became crumbly on the bottom and sides like they weren't gelling properly or something. As soon as the wood...

I've just discovered Tangerine EO ... ohhhhhh so gorgeous ... I put it in hand cream and body cream.

I can't find where on the internet I originally found this recipe for hairspray, but I love it! Lasts for weeks in the fridge. HAIRSPRAY 2 teaspoons refined sugar 1/2 cup hot purified water 2 tablespoons vodka 3-5 drops essential oil for scent (optional) Heat water to just under the boiling...

Brine soap gone nuts - totally cracked!! Quick, straight-jacket and get it put away as quickly as possible!

Oh cool!! I have everything I need ... thanks for the link! :)

The two times I've rebatched using all different kinds of soap with various scents and colours, they ended up smelling awful even though I tried to mask the scent with something similar. I'd never do it again. Both soaps looked really pretty though. I vote confetti also.

Is my first candle alright? Relax ... I realise you're new to this but, yes, he's perfectly fine ... melting normally, skin nice and waxy ... now let's wrap him up and put him to bed. You'll be a pro by the time you have your next candle.

Very nice! I'm especially liking the "camo" one.

Well, there you go, I'm 50 years old and I never knew you shouldn't wash "down there" with soap. I missed something in my education somewhere ... :razz: I must say, though, that peppermint oil can give quite the zing ... not unpleasant though ... :o

I thought they were all awesome. Well done you three and thanks newbie, that was fun. :D

Oh dear, so sorry I didn't get an entry in - last weekend we were needed at my parents' massive garage sale, and this weekend we were needed to help them move house. No soaping possible. Awesome entries ... just about to vote ... but it's very hard, they all have different great qualitites!

@jules92207 ^^ What mzimm said! I'm loving these so-called "fails" - we're a clever lot really aren't we?? :-P

Why did I just get the urge to chomp into this soap?? :shock: It doesn't even look edible. But I want to lick it!

No, I'm not very good with colours ... yet?? ... I'm still experimenting with kinds of colourants and am usually not sure what to use to get what effect ... pigment dispersion, mica, oxide, clay, something out of the pantry ... ? Which is why I'm so impressed with your entry, you got the...
