I personally don't notice a difference between superfatting and a lye discount. I throw all my oils in at once and just do a 6% discount and get the same results as if I had superfatted.

Tis the season for colds and I remember a few years back, Bath and Body works did these bath salts (whatever they were) for those of us with colds. You could use some of the menthol crystals, some peppermint, and other goodies to make a tub soak ... I loved those things .. swore by them .. but...

Jen .. I hold it in about the middle as far as depth .. then you get these kind of ripples that really mix the soap well (well with my SB anyway). Just make sure that before you start blending, you kind of tilt the SB to the side to let out the air that gets underneath the shield thing.

I used a lot, but that's because I wanted a sparkle effect .. and it worked. My honey l'occitane is gorgeous!! I used about 1 tablespoon .. maybe more .. held up beautifully and when you look at the bars they just glimmer !! love it

I have to label what seems like a million bars of soap sometime before the 15th. Finished up my homework today and got the girls costumes. Mallory's going to be a witch and of course Vannah's going to be a princess. We had a soccer game this morning (last one of the season). Done making...

I tried Santa's Cookies and Pumpkin Spice Cake (x2) and had them separate on both occassions. I love their other stuff .. their butters are good ... I just don't trust their FO's.

I LOVE the hand .. very unique .. how cool!!

No, don't order the FO's .. they made my soap separate. I've ordered other things that are completely fine .. it's just their FO's that I've had difficulty with.

I see what you're saying with the mint .. (sad thing is that's my favorite bar .. creamy and simple). I really appreciate all the feedback .. you guys are awesome.

You just have to keep at it .. it's just going to take some time .. good things come to those who wait. Keep you head up and keep on fighting.

Cinnamon can be a skin irritant.

BTW everyone (sorry it's been a long week) .. thanx so much for your honest feedback ... I appreciate all of your time and consideration. You're all wonderful :D

Great sites everyone .. thanx so much for your help .. sorry this posting is late .. the past few weeks have been hell .. the heat pump pooped the bed .. along with the dishwasher ... and my van won't go into park (thank goodness that's under warranty) and to top it off my alcoholic aunt came to...

It took me awhile to understand and here's how I think of it: My soap cleans your stinky behind ... doesn't fall under FDA guidelines, but is instead regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and you do not need to list your ingredients except in cases like stated above. My soap...

:lol: My grammy used to yell at me for getting the soap wet ... now I know why.

It's good you can take a little weight off your shoulders.

Bubble .. first one is apple jack & peel, second one is cinnamon buns (but it just smells like cinnamon), the third is pom/peach, and the last is rosemary mint ... thanx for the photo tips ... i'm so horrible at taking pictures but my friend has been helping me ... this part is more difficult...

I'm going to be doing a North Carolina theme with a focus on the Crystal Coast.

I'm gonna get 2 batches of GM/yogurt soap done scented with pink sugar and fall harvest. I have one loaf to rebatch ... it was really fugly .. we'll see how it works out.
