That sounds really cool! Good luck! Wish I could help but I'm not tech-savvy either..

Woots! Thanks IrishLass! I was worried that the vitamins might react badly but now I'll definitely try it. How much do you usually use?

I was just curious if I could add baby oatmeal to soap. It's a nice fine texture but does contain some added vitamins and minerals. Has anyone tried it before?

Woah, that's cool! Where can I read about pharmacists making "soap pills?" Wonder if that is worth revival for an herbal medic sort of situation.. Also, I'm really very tempted to try felting soap with cat hair. No shortage of that around here. Might try goat hair too though they aren't a...

Yeah, but I wasn't sure what the hazard difference was with semi-fresh diy soap versus what most people are likely to be more familiar with. Couldn't tell how much the poison control operative knew. Very glad to have such quick and supportive replies from the lovely people here! When I was...

Carolyn, that's hilarious! DeeAnna, felted soap sounds neat. Does the felt stay intact like a sack as the soap gets used up or does it wear away? Do you have to use wool?

Couldn't tell if the soap zapped or not. I tasted a crumb like what he got. It sure tastes terrible. Not tingly exactly... I've never tasted a battery.

Poison control also says he'll be fine. He's calmed down and I'm breathing again. Whew. He's 10 months and almost walking. Way too fast and curious for his own good! I turned the soap and left some crumbs on the counter. He reached up when I wasn't looking... Bubbles and tears. Did give him...

Ok.. Thanks. I hope so! He's been crying ever since.

Made just a couple days ago. :cry:

I've just started soaping but have designated an old flannel dress to function as a smock. It is long-sleeved but has snaps to pin them up if desired. It also snaps all the way down the front for easy removal.

Right there with you on the animal fat neuroses and nasty bacon goo. I'll eat bacon when it's hidden on sandwiches but otherwise it's almost as bad as chicken wings. There isn't really a point to even sniffing a chicken wing considering the mandatory dissection for so little of what qualifies as...

I used to make both sourdough and regular bread A LOT. Too much of a good thing though... When homemade bread is around that is all I eat and it started giving me bad crampy pains. Had to cut back too much to keep the sourdough going. I let it get funky and threw it out. Still have a tiny bit...

Smelling myself again... Might try blending Narcissist with a little bit of orange. It has a hint of orange to it. I also bought NG's Giggles so I'll try that. This is what the site says: "Narcissist fragrance oil is a seductive blend of warm, woodsy Egyptian musk and enchanting patchouli...

For my first time buying FOs I went with a bunch of sample sizes from Nature's Garden. Most I have high hopes for and a couple I just don't know. The one I'm disappointed with OOB is Narcissist, their Narisco Rodriguez dupe. I'd never smelled the original but it got good reviews and I was...

Yeah, you're right. Thanks :)

Thanks for the tips! :) When people unmold their soap, is it very common to freeze or heat it first? I see such beautiful pictures and videos of freshly unmolded soap and I don't know if that's from a special treatment or the recipe or from being extra super careful. I'm guessing that mine has...

Well, I hope it isn't a total botch because it smells awesome. Air freshener? Lol. I can't tell if there is an unsaponified middle layer or not. The half that was deeper in the mold is still soft. Definitely will be more careful about measuring liquids next time. Probably won't use full liquid...

I'm very new to making soap and was wondering about laundry/cleaning soap. Is it a lot better and/or cheaper than store-bought? Or is it just that there are fewer chemicals in it?

I'm trying to put a picture up from my phone. Not sure if it's worked.. The soap is a little bit squishy and stuck to the mold slightly. Seems to be setting though. Do I have to cut into it to see if it separated? It worked! The photo did anyways. That was the only cube I removed yet...
