My daughter is the one who touch me Rowan. She said it's kind of like opening a Christmas present. The box can be thrown away. The good stuff is inside. She's 7. I was floored. Her words were a little muddled, but the thought came through loud and clear!

Those are gorgeous! They look edible! Like something a fancy restaurant would roll around on a cart after dinner!

Oh yeah. Those are soaps. Have to be. No way they could be fudge lol

So wait, she wants to formulate a recipe that basically rips off the consumer?? That would tick me off too! Oh well, let her do it! Her customers know how long the soap should last. When it starts dissolving in a week they'll stop buying. But they already know it shouldn't do that, so they'll...

Some fo's will turn batter yellow even without vanilla. I've had some that do that and I think someone posted about a fo that gave their soap a pinkish tint. It could also be the oils you used. Yellow/golden oils will make a yellowish soap. Because of the oils I use, I have never gotten a bright...

I think they look great for a second batch. You may have a knack for this ;)

I probably shouldn't say this out loud on here, but after hearing/reading the wonders of Lard soap I think I'm going to have to break down and make some. Let the lardies rejoice! Lol

Honestly, when I started I followed ALL the rules. When I read something that someone said I should be doing, I did it. Which got kind of tough when I got conflicting "advice". Now the only rule I consistently follow (besides gloves and goggles) is to add the lye to the water and not the other...

What an awesome looking soap! Great job!

I did too. In the same order where I ordered the Bamboo mint lol. It must be their current standard sample

Thank you all. She had liver and kidney failure and it was starting to wear on her. We held off as long as we could but it was time. Lenarenee, the are actually doing really, really well. We've always taught them death is only sad for those left behind. It's a joyous event to go Home. Yes, there...

We took this precious part of our family on one last ride tonight, ending with helping her cross the Rainbow Bridge. I'm gonna miss my sweet Shawnee Rose.

Thanks ladies, but I can't take credit. Where do you think I learned it ;)

Thank you DeeAnna. That makes a lot of sense. If I was thinking fully as I typed that I would have realized I said the heat dissolved the crystals so there's no way the heat from sapifecation would cause them to form. Oops. I'm gonna blame it on thinking about too many things at once and none of...

You can't cook soap until neutral. Soap has to be alkaline to be soap. I have the same book and it was my bible when I started out. But that's one part that drove me nuts! Also, don't pay much attention to the time. Every crock is different. Cook till it doesn't zap and is a thick, Vaseline...

You know you have found "the one" when you can constantly ramble on about soap, using terms they couldn't begin to understand, and they still look interested. And when you ask if they're sick of hearing about soap they say "No baby, I love hearing about what you do!" Yep, he's a keeper!

When I moved in with bf, I found a jar of honey he had shoved in the back of a cabinet and forgot about. For years from the look of it. It was almost black, but the bottom was full of white/light tan crystals where the natural sugars had separated out. Just for grins I warmed the honey up and...

I have a major allergy/sinus issues right now so I can't smell much, and what I do smell seems to be off kilter so I personally can't say how it smells. I can say my kids were raving about the smell last night. Of course, one of them is a 17 year old who can't seem to smell that he needs a...

Yes, I sometimes get the bubbles on the side when I cpop in silicone. But not always. I have yet to figure out why sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Is the fo you used a heater? I have found I'm just asking g for weird things (alien brains, ash, oil puddles) if I cpop a heating fo or...

I keep picturing your boys beating on their friends' doors "Hey! You gotta come to my house! Mom said we can pee outside!" I'm rolling over here!
