I just made it. Seems ok, smells nice. Used boiled water, some aloe vera gel, a few drops of orange, lemongrass and tiny bit of rosemary EO, witch hazel and preservative. I've never been much of a toner person I always want to rinse them off. I liked the idea of having a mister though.

I found some nice bottles at my local health food store, and one of them was a decent spray bottle. So I thought I'd like to make a toner to put in in, I hate messing around with cotton pads and stuff but I would use a spray. I just am having trouble finding something nice and simple. I have...

Oh yeah, way more hard oils than normal. Wanted to experiment with my new palm oil :) I normally have 40% olive, this had 40% palm. Next experiment will be an artists' soap. Eucalyptus oil is amazing for removing paint, but I only have a tiny bit left so that will also be a small experimental...

So many cups and pots. What where you making? I ended up with 8 acceptable bars even if the sides weren't exactly smooth. No matter. Hubby likes the starfish.

No I wasn't trying to make salt bars or swirl. I wanted to make a layered blue ombre bar. I don't have an ocean scent so I was just trying a little salt for scent. I was hoping the amount I added wouldn't affect it too much. I was wrong. I will try to find an ocean fragrance from one of my...

Gues I shouldn't have left it overnight... It was soft last night though. There are actually waves in it! I am going to buy more mixing bowls and try again.., really needed to push the limits a bit. All my recipes were turning out too good and I wasn't learning much. I think if I had cut this...

I only added a small amount to try and get some ocean-like scent. But it went thicker than I expected. I added 166g to 2lbs. Nowhere near what I did for my proper salt bars. I shoulda mixed the colours then stirred in some salt to the bottom colour. Really though I need two more mixing...

:) I have been worse! I am not neat at all when it comes to this stuff. I did pile it all together for the pic. And cleaned up the batter off the cooktop cos hubby will be using it tonight. Yes post all your messy pics! I want to see! PS there was blue powder everywhere but I cleaned it up...

They look amazing!

Yummy

So I didn't need more soaps but I have all that palm oil in the cupboard... And ultramarine. And I have been ogling a blue ombré soap I saw somewhere. And I really haven't had any big disasters. That's no way to learn! So because getting an ocean scent wasn't gonna happen I put salt in and...

Nope. My husband will not wash my soap stuff. Dang. Girl here. Trying not to soap at the moment cos there is no room to store it :(

I put a dash into everything :) very scientific huh! Everything else I weigh out carefully... Of course I don't necessary recommended my haphazard vit e approach! I've been at it six months what do I know?

My stick bender only cost $10 at Walmart.

Love them!

So far I have only used the label sheets that Bulk Apothecary sell. They dudded me one sheet and refused to send it, so I am out of labels. I would love to know what brand they are because they work great.

Really? Everything I have priced out and compared has had NDA cheaper. It's not like Canada has a whole lot of choices... The nearest soap place to me is Soaps and More in Calgary and their prices are insane! So I compare Voyageur, NDA and Saffire Blue usually, and sometimes others. Voyageur...

Voyageur is actually the fastest for me... But I don't like their lip balm flavours at all, and they aren't the cheapest for oils. I do like their micas though. And they have packaging that NDA doesn't have. I actually have to use three different suppliers to get all my stuff. Which sucks...

WTF??? They are my main supplier because they seem to be cheaper for the stuff I get. I've tried Voyageur and I don't really like their products, and they are more expensive. This sucks- I hope they get a lot of complaints and change their mind. Shipping is $20 minimum so if I order $90 of stuff...

Yes I do spray the tops but it doesn't prevent it. I think it minimises it but I still get some.
