Lin19687 do you mind me asking where you are at, the only reason I ask is because our sales tax here is 9.98% it is ridiculous. And they just issued another bond that is going to raise it above 10% next year.

Soap Fail! I wanted to make soap tonight. I used up all of my master batches oils, so I carefully measured out my lye and water mixed those. Measured out all my oils, mixed those and heated them to 115°. Measured out my FO. Mixed my colors to perfection with oil out of my main batch. Checked my...

Hello, welcome to not lurking. Lol I lurked for quite a while before I posted too. I have only driven through GA and if I remember correctly it was at 2am. Anyway I am from OK, and welcome again.

Extinct

Update. The swelling in my hand has gone down, and doesn't hurt anymore. But I have sat with my leg up, icing on and off at about 15 - 20 minutes. It still hurts quite a bit and I can't walk without a pretty severe limp. It is starting to turn pretty light purples and blues. I can't stop...

It is nice outside today, about 73F and we decided to cook outside, on the grill. As I am carting the food out I stepped wrong on our steps, twisted my ankle, bruised my knee really bad, and also hurt my hand. So now my hubby is cooking and I am sitting in a chair with ice packs. My hand is...

Upgrade

I soaped with Bramble berry energy FO a couple of days ago and did three colors as well I am in love with that scent and my first drop swirl (I think that is the name for how I poured). I cut them today.

I didn't gel, I was very upset/angry with some things going on in my personal life. So I didn't even take notes. I make soap to calm me down, but that day I was just to upset. I almost always double check in a soap cal. I am worried because I really don't know for sure what I did or didn't do...

Aww love it, I didn't post last night when I watched it but had to post to today to tell you I had a dream with your cute kittens in it after I watched them.

Absolutely love it.

So I have been searching the old posts, and can't find any posts on this. I made a double batch of my normal recipe with Lemon Verbena FO from BB and I think I forgot to double the lye water. It is still pudding soft after a week. I have not rebatched before. Is there a way to tell if there is...

Made a double batch of my normal recipe with Lemon Verbena FO from BB. Unfortunately I think I forgot to double the lye and water. So the picture is of the soap one week after being made. It is still so soft it is like pudding.

I will keep that in mind. Thanks. I like my base recipe for the most part, I added VitE to it, when I added the FO, I had never used it before but read on many sites about it helping DOS, after looking it up on the forum..... I see I have wasted money there, luckily not too much. But I won't be...

Ok, so this might be a silly question. For those who sell soap, and have been, when testing a new FO. Do you wait a year to see how it holds up, or do you know how your base recipe holds up and sell it? I have been reading a huge ton of old posts on here, and it is very often repeated that you...

SaltedFig, I hope you and yours are safe. I am a catastrophic insurance adjuster for multiple insurance companies, and I never get use to the how total the disasters can be. But yes the claims will get handled faster. When I get deployed for a catastrophe our team works 7 days a week 12 hours a...
