Beautiful!!! I love that purple color. Would you share with me what you used to get such a pretty purple?

I found that same mold at the Dollar Store last week...they also had a pumpkin one too!

I've used Evaporated Milk several times. I discounted the amount of milk from the water. I always get the milk slushy frozen and add it after I mix the lye/water and oils together. It makes a nice soap--I use it when I make oatmeal soap.

I don't either. I only adjust the liquid if I'm planning on gelling or swirling.

I use publisher too!

Great Job! They are beautiful!!!!

Beautiful!!!

I mail soap in flat rate postal boxes (free!). I know shipping for a small one is $5.20 regardless of the weight, the med box is a little over ten dollars. I use anything from bubble wrap to crinkled up freezer paper to pack the box (great use for those little odd shaped pieces left over from...

Someone much smarter than me will have to chime in. I do add borax (20 mule team stuff) to my washer with my regular detergent and it's a great additive for my laundry. I've also sprinkled borax and baking soda to scrub my bathtub--it gets it sparkling clean.

Amazing!!!! I can't imagine not likeing it!!??

I've used Peaks Coconut milk last month in a soap, and yes, mine smelled pretty awful too. The good smell did return as the soap cured, but it faded some. I'm not fond of it, but people who smell it seem to like it. I think it smells sort of plastic. It really did smell great oob.

Your soaps look great!!!

My local Walmart pulled a fast one on me with the freezer paper. There was none to be found in the foil/wax paper area (it's always there!). I kept looking, and found it in the camping-fishing-hunting supply area. :o

I think your soap looks really pretty!

Wow!!!! How cool!!! Congrats!!!

Wow, you have been busy!! Beautiful job!!!!

I have one wooden mold, the rest are silicone or plastic type stuff. I bought some fairly thick clear vinyl, cut it to fit my wooden mold to use as a liner. When I unmold, I just wash it, dry it, fit it back in for the next time.

I normally use a little less than 5% but I've went as high as 8%--no problems what so ever.

Welcome to the addiction!!!!

Ive used Aloe Juice several times in my soap. I freeze it and use it 100% to mix my lye. I'm not sure about any properties, I would assume the lye would consume most anything in it, but it does make a nice liquid to use in soap. I honestly can't tell the difference between any of my soaps...
