Irishlass is the word. Many people have different preferences with oils. Do some research on what each oil brings to a soap bar and experiment with quantities to decide what you like best. Unlike Irishlass, I hate lard but I know others swear by it. I like 20-30% of coconut oil in every...

I hear that. Hence why I prefer to work graveyards. It allows me to spent my nights off on the same schedule. (BTW I will get you that tutorial. My camera died and went to a very bright place. I'm getting a new one tomorrow. Today, later, after I am off work and have visited the soap store XD)

XL for me, no shame in it. Great idea Ian!

Schedule

Maybe, all I know is death and such fascinates, has since I was a kid and not in a "I'm going to go out and be a serial killer way." Most Evil Men and Women of History is my favorite series. Spent a whole day in a dungeon in Switzerland years ago, now that I wouldn't want to have in my basement...

I would have loved to live in a house like that growing up, I still would. I'm planning a trip to Japan in November and one of the Ryokan's I want to stay at was once a geisha house :D I was also gitty to go to Victoria (BC) for a couple of days in the winter and I went for a walk in a park full...

I'm in Canada but I bought a couple of molds off this guy, cheaper than it would be to buy a silicone mold of the style here. The cathedral bunt mold was to awesome to pass up.

I don't have one favorite. I like mixing a couple no matter what I am soaping. There are many that I think work and smell great together. Just got a bunch from a couple of forum members so I'm looking forward to blending so new fos. I think I have 40 different scents now.

I had to work through the opening ceremonies at a call center but I am so excited to make my way into Vancouver to look at the torch and pavillions. (Also looking at scooping up a cheap ticket to one of the expedition matches for anything, frankly.) For the small bit I got to see I do...

Excellent. This pay check is an oils check so by the time you've played with the new fragrances it'll be fragrance time.

Dim sum! Haven't had it yet, heading to my favorite restaurant before work.

I made Rosemary and Tea Tree, 100% coconut for my roommate and Lemongrass and Marjaoram, castile for my grandmother. Almond coconut sounds so nice. Hemp scents scare me, allergic, I wonder if they actually contain hemp. Cause if they don't... Could be safe. Cannabis rose sounds interesting.

Blend it in a blender, add water and nuke it! Worked perfectly. I do believe the adding water and grinding the soap into dust is the key.

Lucky me, I do have an American address I can ship, so Peak isn't even bad. It's just a matter of waiting for the roomie's mom to come up. Nature's Garden is next on my list to try. I just hate waiting, ha.

I just received my Peak oils and I have to say I love them. However for sake of shipping, I do like Voyageur (Canadian here) since it is in my town. Since the FOs and EOs at Voyageur are as good as Peak, WSP and SOS scents that I have purchased, I'll probably do most of my FOs my shopping there...

Writing is my biggest passion of all. I'm working on a novel that I would like to have completed before this time next year, but we shall see. Next is sewing. I've been doing it most of my life so I can pretty much figure out how to sew just about anything if I stare at it long enough. Now...

I have overcooked my soap. It gets crumbly and solid with ever leaving your pot. On the brightside, you can rebatch overcooked soap.

So far mine is two plastic molds and I don't plan on using them. Oh silicone, how could I ever use them when I have you? What I'm seeing is that it is smart that I soap on a smallish budget it means I'm careful about what I but. Do have unused salts but I'm waiting on containers.

I'm grateful that she lived so long. She did some much good!

Thanks. Soaping makes everything better. Why can't I dream about soap? I know a kid that was attacked by squirrels. He'd been throwing nuts at them earlier. Thirty minutes later they returned the favour.
