You will be surprised at how many sites are accessible from the road. We went in 2002 when my youngest was 5. We didn't do a lot of long hikes, we mostly visited the sites that were accessible by road. I took lots of photos put them in an album. My son would look at the album for several...

Old Faithful is a must. Very touristy but great to see. Yellowstone has a road that circles through the park, follow that road and whenever you see a sign for something stop and explore. There are so many things to see there that you will never see it all. A good guidebook will help with...

I make a bug balm that works very well for me. I make a balm then add several types of EO's. Balm- 1 part beeswax 1 part butter ( i use cocoa butter) 1 part oil ( I use camellia seed oil) Essential oils-citronella, geranium, lemongrass, tea tree, eucalyptus, cedarwood...

Do you have a food mandolin. That may work. You could get a nice even slice. Delia

I started using shampoo bars about 8 months ago. They are what got me interested in soap making. The best advice I can give is start with one recipe and make a 1 lb batch. Use it for a couple weeks to a month and see how your hair reacts. Then change the recipe to suit the needs of your hair...

Camellia seed oil is good for your hair and skin. If you don't use it in your soap you can also in your hair after it dries. Place a few drops in your hands rub them together then run your hands lightly through your hair. Neem oil is also said to be good, but if you HP it smells like burnt...

I will try the citric acid rinse. I plan to do some HP soaping this weekend and just add that to my supply list. Thanks for the info.

I know this is probably late, I am new to the forum. Camellia seed oil is great for hair and skin. After I wash, dry and style my hair I rub 3-4 drops camellia seed oil on my hands then run my hands through my hair. It leaves my hair soft and it doesn't feel greasy afterwards. You will have to...

I use apple cider vinegar and water. I don't like the smell either, that is part of the reason why I only use it once a week. I only need the rinse when I use a high cleansing shampoo bar. Camelina oil is different from camellia seed oil. I don't know what properties the camelina oil has, and...

If you make the recipe please give me your opinions. I haven't compared it to other soaps, and I don't know anyone else that soaps, but so far I have been happy with this recipe. I do have another recipe that I use for a basic cleansing body bar that I am happy with also.

I switched from commercial shampoo to shampoo bars about 6 months ago. I was using higher cleansing bars but they were too harsh for everyday use. I work in a hospital so a daily shower is a must. My hair did go through a transition period. One day I washed my hair and it felt like I had...

I am new to the board and thought I would introduce myself. I am somewhat new to soaping (6 months approx). I have only made HP soap so far. Mainly because I am impatient and don't want to wait 4 weeks for it to cure. I started because I was unhappy with commercial shampoos and found...
