^ and that is why I love the stuff. I have such a sweet tooth, but don't take sugar in tea etc! But don't put cakes, desserts near me, 6 minutes on the lips, 6 months (or more) on the hips!!!,

Gigi, this definitely has to be added to your 'Newbie soaping adventure list'. Love that thread you started.

Sorry to hear about your flooding Deedles. We have the opposite problem. Kariba dam is at an all time low, that is where they have the hydro electric scheme. Consequently most cities and towns are having 12 hour power cuts cos of lack of electricity. The presidents solution. ....... day of...

I know there are several reptile lovers on this forum so thought I would post a photo of a blueskop (bluehead), only managed to get his head as they are quite skittish. There used to be loads of these around when I was a kid but locals believe they are linked to witchcraft so they get stoned to...

Congratulations. Great looking soap. You never get blasé about cutting soap, you are never sure what you will find. Welcome to the addiction, there's no escape!!

While we are on the subject of stealing recipes Susie, I tried your lip balm one. It is wonderful, glides on to my lips but you don't feel like you are wearing balm, no sticky residue. Thank you x

Wow. That's stunning. I can only dream about recreating that! !!! But I do make great cupcakes that you can eat, does that count!!!!

I miss NA too, she has a way of making everyone feel capable and important. Bless her, we need her back here, even if she is not soaping.

So very sorry to hear this. I think you have the right mindset. Just make every day count, he will let you know when it's time and the hard decision will have to be made. We put our dog down a couple of months ago, I have to confess that I kept putting it off, purely selfish of course cos I did...

I have been trying to design some labels for my lip balm and was wondering if I can call it Vanilla and Shea Lip Butter, or is that another product altogether?

Yeah Pamielyn I think the same too that's why I was thinking what I could put there

I have been trying to make bubble bars for the first time and am curious about the texture of the mixture. It seems a lot of people roll theirs and cut it like Swiss roll. However mine was about the same consistency of bath bombs so could not imagine getting that into any kind of roll! On one...

Hoping it's good news, our fur babies mean so much to us

Thank you everyone for your support. I will be getting your opinions on table set up etc, so be prepared!

Well I finally booked a fair at the end of February. I am very nervous but I need to put myself out there and gauge the response to my products. I know we are our own worst critics so need to believe in myself and the products I make. I have had good feedback from everyone who has tested my...

I am trying to design business cards and would like to know what people put under their name, soap maker, owner, saponifier???!!

Wow kc, great looking soap

Strange you should say that Snappy llama. I tried to do the ios9 update yesterday and it failed as my Wi Fi is too slow. Will only be able to do update again when I go to the city in a month. Hopefully once it's updated it may fix it.

Thanks Saponista, already tried that but no luck.

My apologies to Commoncenz for stealing his title but I need to rant! I finally received my soap supplies from South Africa and as you can imagine excited to unpack them. When I opened up the first box the first sight was 50 lip balm tubes smashed. Loads of my oils and fragrances were...
