Hi Everyone! I've been reading snippets here for a wee while, and have just finished my second batch of CP soap - so I decided to join. I can see this soap making thing could get a bit addictive

Thanks for the friendly welcome all - keen to get your feedback on my question in the beginners thread about the 'Gel Phase'.
I know Aussies are lovely - my grandfather was one!

Hi Redtigersun,
I'm a bit fickle in that I open up about three websites and check out the prices/quality across all three while I fill up my shopping carts accordingly. Most recently I used: Zen Designs, NZ Soap and Candle, Candle Creations (for colours) and Pure Nature. The essential oils form Pure Nature seems to be a lovely quality - therapeutic grade. I'm now going to go and check out Go Native

Ah wow, what travels!! That's pretty amazing
My partner's family is from Te Aroha and Whangamata originally. I was very fortunate to go there last year to meet them. They've also spread out to Wellington, Hamilton, Auckland, Tauranga and a few on the South Island but I didn't make it down there just yet. But I got a fairly comprehensive tour of North Island haha. I absolutely love the area around Whangarei. Cant wait to go back.
I'm from rural NSW originally but live in Perth WA now. NZ is the only overseas travel I've done.

Primrose. I have a good friend over your way. She moved there about 4 or 5 years ago now.

These guys got me into soaping
I've had dairy goats for almost forever. Last year I thought I need to start trying to make some money back towards their feed so thought maybe I could make and sell soap, as its easier to get licensed to do that, compared with selling milk or cheese etc. Well a year and a half later I'm only just starting to sell now but I'm a total soapmaking addict now. I didn't even really care about soapmaking to start with, had zero interest in it. That changed pretty quickly!
