54. Soaping withdrawals will always feel worse when the only reason you can't soap is lack on one or two ingredients. Ugh! LOL
45. When you end up with an entire shelf of FO's and get frozen trying to figure out what to use next.....so you unstick yourself and finally decide on two. After making the two and using up the last of your castor oil, your sgnificant other texts you and begs for more of a scent you hadn't even CONSIDERED making. Order of castor oil, here we come.
In a desperate situation, Walmart carries Castor oil in their pharmacy. Not that I know from experience or anything :shifty:
Vitamin Shoppe ( and others like them) have it for less Pesos.
I know how you feel. UPS and Fedex know me and the mail lady and I are on a first name basis.
I got into cp soap as a way to use up some of my oils and fragrances, which has led to buying even more oils (because one simply must have Palm oil) and even more fragrances, because soaping uses up a lot, and now you need the BIG bottles. Then there's gloves, and goggles, and colorants oh my.47. After spending 2 weeks reading reviews you frugally choose 5 fragrant oils all with 5 star rave reviews out of the 495 FOs available to buy.
Only one them turns out to be a keeper and after the third time using it in the shower even that one isn't anything special.
ho hum.
48. You watch the how to videos religiously and start out your soaping day with everything laid out professionally and neatly determined to be calm and collected like the video person.
After 1/2 hour wrestling with scales, heating, shea butter, colours, the SB, the mix, the FO and the mold you are grateful for the personal protection gear you wore but look around at the area and realise it looks like a bomb dropped and it is going to take a little more than a bit of kitchen paper (like the video person uses to wipe up her spills) to clean up before you DH comes home and asks why there is a fleck of blue batter on the cupboard, the floor and the ceiling...
Batch 21 and still learning. At least this time I remembered the salt and the FO.
You know you have found "the one" when you can constantly ramble on about soap, using terms they couldn't begin to understand, and they still look interested. And when you ask if they're sick of hearing about soap they say "No baby, I love hearing about what you do!" Yep, he's a keeper!
Can not use word "Soap" in house
I wish I had one who would talk about my adventure in soap business ..................well I talk to my soaps )
He builds all my molds and displays, so it somehow balanced itself, thank you :mrgreen:But you have us!
