I love Tea tree and Lavender ... also Tea Tree and Peppermint is lovely too. I do recall that when I made a shampoo bar with Tea tree it got thick very fast - so fast that I had to force it into the mould and it was quite an ugly bar. I honestly can't remember about regular soap though, it's...

Thanks, that's an old photo dills :D Since reading on this site that I should be covering them I have covered all my trays with paper towel before putting the soap on :)

This is what I use but I don't know where else you buy it as it's packed for Aussie soap supplies. I like the red anyway. It's non-bleeding. (Just realised my photo looks a bit pink - in real life it is quite red. http://www.aussiesoapsupplies.com.au/liquid-pigment-dispersion-carmine-red.html

I might have to start doing that with some recipes. Some, though, I add after I split the batter because I might want a discolouring fragrance in only part of the soap and a non-discolouring in a light colour that I don't want to discolour, if that makes sense. Or stick a sign on all my...

Still, after the above ^ episode, I got on a roll and made a Bastille Buttermilk, a pretty "Pink Champagne", a beer one using Oatmeal Stout FO, and a zigzag freehand swirled eucalyptus which I am afraid I may have left an oil out of!! Grrrr, I hope not. I guess I'll find out when I lick it...

I am so over myself! :evil: I did it again ... found my fragrance sitting untouched AFTER having executed a lovely swirl, this time a sea-inspired ITP ... I nearly cried. I ended up adding it (my favourite EO blend no less) to the pot and stirring through, completely destroying my swirl. I did...

^^^ THIS! ^^^ :D Thank you so much topofmurrayhill - now I finally (really) get it :razz:

I believe it's the same here in Aus. There is a certain laundry detergent on our supermarket shelves which boasts of being all natural and gentle for baby's clothes, and their ingredients list states only: "soap, perfume". This kind of labelling irritates me because it tells me nothing about...

On the other hand, there are those of us who spend time doing a lot of research first before we even attempt the first batch, and then jump right in with everything. Just sayin' - we're all different. For my first CP soap I couldn't wait and went all out with fragrance, colour and a swirl, and I...

Very cute, well done Lisajudy :) I have yet to try MP embeds.

I've ruined a little piece of the kitchen bench top where I spilt some EOs ... shhhhhh ... :shh:

Hello Smellynewbie and welcome! I hope you have lots of fun! :)

Good Luck! :thumbup:

Just wondering if you blend the F&M with anything songwind? I'd like to try some blends with mine but not sure where to start? My faves: baby rose cinnamon sugar - smells terribly edible pure honey - this one does smell just like honey jasmine dreams lavender fragrance lilac - very...

Hey Guspuppy, I'm glad you're here too. I would love to have a dog but we can't be home enough for one, and I hate the thought of leaving a dog alone by itself too long. Your Guspuppy looks adorable.

Shivers! Not nice Teresa, please keep us updated. I hope you sort out exactly what it is. Good lesson, anyway, that we need to always be safe and keep our wits about us.

Thankfully my husband enjoys all the different bars in the shower ... he sneaks new ones in there himself! :D

Star Anise and Orange combined ... ooooohhhh ... smells luscious and juicy ... I want to lick it! It makes me want to eat/drink something but I don't know what :razz: Oops you asked about FOs not EOs ... BBs Pumpkin Souffle ... when I smelt that I just wanted pumpkin pie and cream ... mmmmm

Yes this sounds familiar. Hubby loves that soap, also with 10% cocoa butter added to it. He also loves my salt soap, and he doesn't go much for textured tops or "bits", and he tells me I should keep men's soaps simple as he doesn't think other men would like the "bits" either. He could be right...

Be Radically Earnestly Daring! HOWL
