Hi there! Sorry to come back so long after last time... here's good news: I used the freezer tip to remove the mold and it worked perfectly. I notice the very smooth surface of the bar where it was in contact with the mold when still freezed vs the parts I tried to separate earlier. I guess I'll...

Wow... Thanks to all of you, I'm sorry Not to thank you individually, but each of you gave me plenty to think about or to try. I'll try to find seeds for the mentioned plants, including indigo, hoping I won't need too many of them as I only have a modest garden. Clays are a goo lead too, and I...

I don't know what heirloom carrots are, I'll have a look. I'll try to powderize carrots! :) I very doubt it for tomatoes, as I see how my gazpacho is very very light red... I can grow crocus and saffron (but hell, the quantity needed would make me a billionaire or something I guess ^^ ) Well...

Hi there! following the "dangers of micas" thread, and based on my personal wish to use as local ingredients as possible and/or of fair trade origin, I would like to know if you have experimented colorants that can grow in your countries. I can also extend my constraints to edible tropical...

OK, I'll keep it in mind for shampoo! :) OK. My very first soaps were on the verge of Hot Process, which means normally the saponification has finished when molding, and afterwards I still haven't have high pH even with CP. Do you know why it is so ? Can it depends on the recipe, or rather the...

Thank you! I hope they'll keep their scent when I use them (so far I guess I didn't use enough fragrance and my soaps don't really smell anything... Happy bubbles! Stéphanie

Owww, didn't know there were other herp enthousiasts here! I've got geckos, newts, frogs and a snake. Welcome to your beardy! Happy bubbles Stéphanie

Yes I use paper strips. I didn't know I had to shift up by two with this measuring. THANKS for the information! Okay, that's very weird because I thought (because I read it) the pH changed during the cure for CPed soaps, as the saponification process finishes... So you mean it's not the case...

I personaly also have ethical issues with a product that travels more than I do... I am using Indigo and curcuma for my most recent colours, but... I haven't check yet how the people who grow them are treated... :'( Stéphanie

I just stamped my latest soaps and cut their edges. pH is already pretty good, 7.5 to 8... Happy bubbles! Stéphanie

Hi There ! Here is my latest batch. It took it almost 2 weeks to harden, but I'm happy with it, with the colours and the scent which for once I managed to keep present in the finished soap... Happy Bubbles! Stéphanie

Must smell wonderfull. Is it a Stephanotis? Nice shot, too! Happy bubbles, Stéphanie What is it exactly? You design how food and tableware will be set up for a particular occasion? Happy bubbles, Stéphanie

Owww that's a great one. But... you don't know MY dog! :D :D :D Happy Bubbles! Stéphanie

YEEEEES! I guess it's easy to spot with such silly sentences! That's a funny one, too, even though it states a reality, unlike my Polish fish... :D (I get the fish wearing a jacket in Polish... ) Yes I'm on Duolingo (I'm "Stephanie-France"), not for Japanese that I began long ago, even though I...

Thanks again, KimW! Happy bubbles, Stéphanie
