also there is another post on here somewhere about the kd7000 and 8000. I have the 7000 because of that post! i LOVE it. Although it does one thing that i dont particularly care for, instead of it measuring by ones' meaning .10-.11-.12-.13 etc. etc, it only measures by fives- .10-.15-.20 and so...

Nurse Emily- you crack me up. Too funny. If i hadnt had a 500 gram weight to check my scale, i would have done the same thing- my husband re-loads and knows by heart the weight of everything!!!

the standard for mixing essential oils is 3% of your total weight of your oils. But, i dont know about the use of them on dogs. Maybe talk to your local vet about that? good luck!

I am not sure about the specs in the soap, as i am still learning. But based on what i have read with other's posts, it looks like the batches were lye heavy. As far as the dark circle in the center, i have had that happen a time or two. The only thing that i can think of is it happens when...

I would do the same CaraBou- sniff away! and being in your shoes with things that are hard to obtain, i would buy some too. enjoy your trip!

welcome! and dont you just love being proven wrong at times? :) there are lots of medicinal uses for soaps, especially when combined with essential oils. But shhhh, we arent allowed to advertise that :)

Well it is now two days later and the dead shrimp smell has gone away. The juniper and cypress have come out, although it does smell a bit bitter. I am sure it will continue to settle smell wise. Other wise the soap looks great!

That would be too fun. But i do have to say that i have purchased many essential oils from them, and i wont do it again. When compared to other companies essential oils, they just dont compare. Their scent does stay in the soap, but the quality just isnt the same. But i do buy their lye...

Dont give up! God is bigger than your problems! :) keep pushing! :)

to me the pictures were fine, but too small. I also would appreciate seeing more info about each item, without having to click to another page. And i agree with obsidian about the 6$ lotion sticks?

Oh you have no idea. :) ha ha. We competed with the lab in hunt tests, and the jack russel is the side show. Now add a hound....... oh my :) No wonder the cat is in such a bad mood..... :)

Ha ha, no he did not run the deer. That is illegal here in colorado, and besides we have him specifically for rabbits. My husband does falconry, and needs a rabbit dog. So we got him. This is my first hound, he is 4 months old, and i have fallen in love with the breed. They are so calm!!! even...

So i made a 5lb batch of oatmeal soap, i used .5 ounces of cypress eo and .5 oz of juniper eo, they smelled great together when i placed them side by side and smelled them. Last i cut the soap, and my 4 month old walker hound was at my feet at the time. I smelled a horrible smell, and was...

i personally would hesitate to reuse the oils, i dont know if this is possible, but could there be any lye left in said oil?

ok, i think i will see what this one does, and will most likely reduce the percentage. This one reached trace really fast, and then with essential oils and oatmeal in the mix i knew it was going to be a hot loaf. So i let it sit in the kitchen window. It didn't crack from heat, (I think the...

I just made a batch of oatmeal soap with beeswax, and used beeswax at 5%. that got me to wondering what percent you all normally use in cold process. thanks!

im glad you started this thread, i am looking for one too. I think i am settling on what Pepsi girl has, mod2 of course :)

I couldnt have said it better Pepsi Girl. I am so grateful for my husband, the blessed life that the Lord has provided through him. My family, and to find that there are so many God loving people on this website!!!! Pepsi Girl- i will keep you in my prayers! Ruthie- i used to battle the same...

It is suggested that you use no more than 3% of your total weight of your oils. For example, my recipe calls for 56 oz of oils. I only do my essential oils up to 2% of weight, so that puts me at 1.10 oz of essential oils. You add the EO's when you have reached a light trace, unless you are using...

Sorry to mislead- i have a tendency to think that people know what i am talking about! :)
