Welcome to the forum!! This is a great resource for newbies and not-so-newbies. =)

I buy my cello bags online through a supplier called "My Girlfriend's House" or www.mygirlfriendshouse.com I learned of it through my district sales manager when I was doing Avon. One of my friends used to call it "my sister's kitchen" lol.. anyway they have some really cute printed cello bags...

Thanks! That's my favorite too!

Thanks! I used a lab color from Bramble Berry. It's called Azure Blue. Lab colors tend to bleed, but in this kind of soap, that's not a problem.

I have ash sometimes and I don't know how to prevent it, however I use a garment steamer to get it off afterwards.

I made these soaps for Father's Day Ezra (Abercrombie & Fitch dupe) Enchanted Forest

I use several different suppliers for my FO/EO but I love Essential Depot for their lye. I haven't gotten anything else there because I can usually find it cheaper with less shipping elsewhere. For my FO/EO I use: Bramble Berry - #1 Rustic Escentuals - #2 Pure Fragrance Oils - #3 Peak - #4...

How did you just describe MY daily life? My son is 10 and so he washes himself... sometimes not so well. He's getting to THAT age where he needs some sort of underarm treatment, blarg. So sometimes he needs a reminder to wash with soap instead of just sitting in the shower with the hot water...

I'm a stay-at-home mom to 3 kids, 4 cats, 1 dog, and 1 DH. He works and supports my addiction and I sell a little on the side. Mostly that just goes back into my soaping stuff. My DH said today that as long as my soaping supports itself or somewhat supports itself he'll be a happy guy lol. I...

That's probably what I will do lol.

Mmm I too am a hater of lotion but a lover of lotion bars. I experimented with my recipe and it didn't turn out so well lol. It's ok and feels great but they're a little bit softer than my previous recipe so even a slight rise in room temp and I think these babies would be too soft or almost melted.

Apparently I follow suit... lol

Well said! Yes, welcome to the forum, can't wait to see pics of your creations.

I will give you a tip I learned the hard way with MP. If you're going to mix two different bases (ie. clear and shea bases) it's best to work with two (or more) bases from the same manufacturer. The reason? I have found (and big duh to me after hearing Anne-Marie state the same in several of...

I've had the last two batches seize on me, and those were my firsts too (different ways). Kind of a bummer but still ok even with air pockets. Mine weren't big and I banged the heck out of it. If it was reasonably movable (as in not rock solid) you might have gotten all the big pockets out. I...

Thanks!!! I've been really busy the last few weeks so I haven't posted anything new. I like Bramble Berry's bulk MP base, but their other bases are of higher quality. They have a MP base sampler that's awesome by the way.

Best of luck and do please post pics of your work, we love pics around here lol

My mom's body couldn't process vitamin b-12 in pill or liquid form so she had to have the shot. She kept trying to give me a shot too, lol she was so strange sometimes. =) the shot did help her though. Glad the liquid is working for you!
