Did the voting start for this? I never got a link if it has. Not that I'd have any idea who to vote for. There's way to many excellent soaps @Kiti Williams totaly wasn't planned to twin this but I'm really amused. Great minds think alike :cool:

I didn't do a precise measurement but I'd say about 1 tps ppo. This was only a one pound test batch and I split the batter roughly in half for each color and gave each 1/2 tsp of their respective colorants

So I decided to CPOP this batch because my furnace is on the fritz and my house has been getting cold at night (don't worry, we're fine. Just need extra blankets till it's fixed) and it's been doing weird things to my soap (soda ash, taking longer to get solid enough to get out of the mold...

Washed way to many dishes, made way to many more. Also made a big pot of chicken soup in the slow cooker and basically spent way to much time on my feet for a sunday lol

So a lot of people have been talking lately about suggestions for red micas for CP and of course, this new one from Nurture has come up quite a bit. Since I managed to get it in and many are curious about it I decided to do a test batch and post the results here for people to see. Look at...

Yeah I only make small batches at this point anyway so I probably wouldn't need too much? I have no idea really since I've never used EO's but I thought hey, free oils might be a good place to start! I'll have to ask her what size bottles she does have. Thank you!

I'm just going to start this off with yes, I used the search function first and most of what I found was the eternal debate about the company and its practices. I understand what a can of worms I could possibly be opening up with this so I just ask people to stay on the topic of my actual...

Speak for yourself. I'll be celebrating my 29th birthday next year for the 10th year in a row

@SoapySuds thank you! It looks like me and @bookreader451 were channeling each other this month. #twinning! :lol: All the entries look really good though. I think 3 or 4 colors is my max though, I don't think I could have the patience do to rainbows but damn they are pretty.

Yeah I'm going to do a test batch tonight. I've noticed a lot of people talking about reds in general and this specific mica being mentioned so I'll be sure to show off for everyone once I get to soaping with it later

Last month I lamented my photo skills as well and it was recommended to me to get a small photo lightbox or "mini photo studio" and I have to say it was the best $15 I have spent

*cackles*

This was from my first and so far only attempt at this challenge though honestly now that I got my Trial By Fire red mica from Nurture I'm really curious to see how this would look in that color. For now I'm really psyched about how this turned out from my little 6 bar slab mold. Colors used are...

Biscuits and sausage gravy. Made from scratch of course

I actually just ordered this color two days ago I'm looking forward to trying it out as soon as it arrives

I ordered some new FO's and mica's to round out my color pallet a little more. And I got in a simple wire soap cutter so hopefully, my bars won't look quite so mangled from now on lol. Gonna try and start on my challenge soap in the morning

That's really pretty. Another technique I have to add to my list of things to try. Thank you for sharing!!

I've never done HP but it would probably be great for that. That or I'd save it for a layered batch or something that acceleration would be a little more helpful for. It's a great scent I'd definitely recommend it. Finally got myself a smaller slab mold to try this out! I have to work tonight...

I have that FO and I love it out of the bottle but haven't found the courage to try it because it says it has "medium" acceleration. Which in my case probably means "almost immediate acceleration" lol. I'm sorry for your fail but thank you so much for proving my theory right. I appreciate your...

I love Kenny and Royalty Soaps. I use Katie's recipe for my soaps currently but I'm not a fan of soaps that have so much "icing" piled on top. It just looks like it'd be awkward to actually use the bar in that shape. Their videos are still so much fun to watch and they make some amazing looking...
