Saponifier
Hello all and thank you, Angie, for inviting me to join this group. I'm delighted to be here! I see a few familiar names and I'm especially happy to see a few fellow lardos and tallowers! HUG HUG
My name is Cee Moorhead, I live in Colorado, I'm married with a blended family of 7 grown children / 10 grandkids and I am an unrepentant soap-making addict. My forum handle is “Zany in CO”. I hang out mostly at soaping groups where I find there is always something new to learn.
I started soaping in 2004 when I happened across a book on soapmaking in the bargain bin at B & N -- just about the same time my favorite $5 DHC Mild Face Soap went up in price! Again! It's now going at $14 for a 3.5 ounce bar! YIKES!
I read the book and I said to myself, "Self, you can do this!" And boy am I glad I did. Whenever I think about all the money I saved over the past 13 years, I can justify all the money I spend on soap & lotion making. Almost! LOL I make CP, HP, LS, Glycerin LS, transparent soap; lotions & potions; green cleaning & laundry supplies. Altho I’m no expert, I’m drawn to the therapeutic use of herbs and essential oils.
I’m a hobbyist. I don’t do markets -- as they say, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the markets! LOL And I don’t have a website -- cuz I'm basically ‘puter-challenged. I do have a wholesale customer that keeps me busy making GM soap, GM lotion, lip balms, and a few other things as needed. The products I'm most proud of are formulated for pain relief: Achy Breaky Balm (for minor joint & muscle pain); MSM Emu Oil Cream (for arthritis); GM Lotion with 6 essential oils (for arthritis & fibro).
There are so many smart, wise, and experienced members here that I'll try to contribute where I can, but mostly I look forward to just hanging out and having a good time.
Okaybye
