Yes, I did soap cool. I used my masterbatched lye so it was room temp and I just warmed the oils to the point they were clear liquid. So I will warm my oils more next time and blend longer. TOMH, I'm not quite understanding what you're saying. I pulled the TBS of oil from the 32 oz., not added...

I agree. I don't have just 1 supplier. I have ordered colorants from BB, Nurture, TKB, EBB, and WSP. FO's from EBB, NG, WSP, BB. You have to go to whomever has what you're looking for at the best price lol. I will admit I'm partial to EBB for my FO's. Especially when I was starting out. They...

I finally got a chance to make my first batch of lard soap last night. I'll post the recipe in the next post, the pic is on my phone, not my computer. Anyway, I had a heck of a time with it. I mixed my oils and lye, stick blended to what I thought was emulsion, and separated out batter for my...

Different people have different beliefs on the benefits of additives in soaps. Some will say there is no benefit to adding silk/jojoba/clays/EO's or anything else to any wash off product. Or that there is no benefit to using more expensive oils. Others will say there is a benefit and they...

EB&B Blue Sugar does the same. It gets super think in a ls

Yep. Still the rule. Guess i wont be looking at them :( The only email addy's I have are my free one and my work one. We have Hughes net for ips but didn't get email addresses with them.

Beautiful! I agree with snappy, it gives me the feel of ferns.

Simple, yet beautiful! I like them a lot!

Thank you Likable. I have 2 to work with now. But if they don't give me the results I want, I will give this one a shot. :)

Just had to give you some grief lol. I found it hilarious!

With my love of reading and 3 kids who all loved to be read to and later to read to me, I have read almost every Dr . Seuss book there is. And I'm pretty sure none of them had anything to do with sex in the shower! LMAO! Admit it, you snuck that one in there since you were ordering anyway :p

You go with your crazy peanut butter soap making self! I'm glad you went ahead and did it if it was something you really wanted to try. Sometimes, you have to buck convention and just go for it! That's how ingenuity is born!

Congrats to you all! There were a lot of beautiful soaps entered. And honestly, everyone who entered should be congratulated! It was a very tough challenge and the fact that so many not only tried it, but succeeded in it is awesome! LP, thank you for creating this for us. I had so much fun and...

I hear ya! Other than masterbatched my lard recipe to bring it to the campground I haven't soaped in a week. I'm going through withdrawls! But tomorrow I WILL soap!

Beautiful! I love your bright colors!

Yes. It's called eliminate all the stress/fatigue/rushing around from your life. Unfortunately, it's a darn near impossible prescription to follow lol

The oil may reabsorbed over time. I would leave it for a few days and see what happens. You will find there are many different ways to cpop. Some leave the oven on for an hour, some turn it off as soon as they put the soap in. I would think an hour 20 minutes at 170 would be too long tho. You're...

Oh I was joking when I said it. Not only the exhaust fumes and goodness knows what dump/thrown out of a vehicle, but also any runoff from farm fields. Yeck! I just found the idea of a grown woman pulled over along the highway picking dandelions humorous lol ETA: I agree it won't be long until...

I found the samples are great for making 1-2 single bars of soap. I made a cp batch then weighed out 6-8 oz of batter, scented it and made a couple bars of each fo. Some were a little stronger than they would be in a normal full batch but I was able to get a very good idea of how the fragrance...
