Thank you! I've had a fantastic pregnancy thus far (exceptionally so) - so I mean, I'm due for some colic or screamy-baby aren't I? I mean, what good is the Karmic Balance if I don't get my due? LOL... We shall see... And soaping while sick is never a good idea... soaping while drinking is...

You can do it!

LOL.... That's a good one. Some people make BEAUTIFUL HP Soap...! And that is a lovely bar. Very smooth, creamy looking. Mine? Always the ugly step sister who never gets asked to prom.

I will DEFINITELY be getting he/she/it/spawn of satan/parasite on a schedule. I love my sleep. :) Schedules all the way. I'm cranky enough when I don't get enough sleep.. And its bad enough I've given up sleeping on my tummy....but giving up actual sleep? I might kill Josh if that has to...

I'm with you. And I kind of want to cry because I have two full unopened, 90count boxes of chocolate. ........................And I've had 8 kids tonight.

One would think, and I can hope. But I have this eerie feeing.... Payback for saying I'd never have kids. Payback for bugging my mommy-friends when I was young and single and drinking Vodka for breakfast.

Is your new tablecloth the same shade as this one? I wouldn't paint pink - only because too much continuity can be a bad thing (but this is only based on what I'm picturing with having your exact label colours in your display pieces).. I would paint...black. Honestly. Black is classy right...

I like what you've done with the bathbombs, and the clear jars with white lids (far left). This I find, adds texture to your table, by breaking up the heights. Woven baskets also work nice for things like bath bombs. But. I would change the colour of your lifted plates - because it's too...

This AM I cut soaps. Coffee Spice Cake Soap - but it smells JUST like the Pumpkin Patch FO I purchased to try...so.....? And it's a bit weak IMO. (Also, smelling my Oak Barrel Cider FO - smells like Leaves FO. This isn't bad because I happen to like appley cinnamon smells..just not what I...

I have been really impressed with NDA's, Spanish Lavender EO. At, 1TBS PPO, it really holds well in the soap - and it smells like a true lavender. Didn't like the 40/42 (too flowery - and not "real" smelling to me.)

Rules

What do you think of the Red Currant and Thyme?? I almost ordered it but went with an oak barrel cider... Today: salt soaps. Lavender and spearmint. Lemon. Cedarwood & fir needle. And.... Coffee spice cake soap ( totally new fragrance to me) I also have some sandalwood to deal...

Give it a try - google "thieves blend DIY" to get an idea about the proportions to use :)

Jstar, are you an Aussie at heart? :) (sorry for the derailment)

Absolutely. I should have mentioned that. :)

Fonts are like your Logo... They're important for branding, and for making your product stand out. If you spent 2 hours on your Logo, I urge you to spend at least that much time invested, in deciding on a font. Playing around with what looks good to you - and what sets your label apart. Comic...

Well. Etsy has its appeal for sure. But I feel, that it's too easy to get lost in the masses of all the soap. And as said already, "relying on a third party merchant" can be risky. Having your own webstore, you're in control. You are the one who makes it, or breaks its. and I understand that...

Technically I suppose if you're using stainless steel - then nothing should transfer. Scents, Lye, or otherwise... But I'm kind of noivious about that kind of thing. (Ever since the brownie fiasco...... this one time, late late at night, I made brownies in a 9x9 silicone dish and they tasted...

I do have a Soap Book that insists you can make translucent-ish soaps by adding different liquors. I haven't tried this because I like to drink my Vodka instead of soap with it. But there are those who do it... So...could be possible that it's not M&P and the reason for the price... ?

Thieves refers to a specific blend of essential oils: Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus & Rosemary. (Usually this is 4 or 5 oils - there are varying recipes for blending, varying degrees of opinions for which oils to use). Rough Jist of the History: Back in the day to keep from contracting...
