I am on the left of the left photo 😊 with my best friend. The one on the right is my daughter and her husband. I'm like you and would love to see our fellow soapmakers. That's just where I put the beautiful flowers. Perfect spot 🙂
On Saturday my friend came over to learn how to make soap. We did the Trinity and scented it with lavender and yuzu. She picked out orange mica to color it. She cut it this morning, did the zap test last night and got zapped. Didn't get zapped this morning. We have a new Soapmaker lol. She loves...
I always accept advice. I might forget something lol. I don't make soap all the time so advice is always welcome. I appreciate you. I usually soap cool, let everything cool or do heat transfer if I don't have a high amt of hard oils then add my OO, etc.

A couple of friends want me to teach them to make soap! We are going to do CO, OO Pomace and Castor Oil. I'm excited. Since I don't sell, I thought why not. Then they can get rid of their store bought soap lol.
