Hello everyone,
I have been a creeper of these forums for quite a long time
. I absolutely love the advice and discussions in these forums, so I decided to finally sign up.
I am a full time pre-med student and I do autopsies for a living. I also enjoy making homemade soaps, and have been doing it for a year. I had to make soap for a chemistry assignment, and I was hooked. Now I am constantly filling my cupboards with random supplies and writing down new ideas. My friends and family love my soaps, and I have been offered to sell at local farmers markets, but I am not quite ready to take that step yet.
My latest batches were goats milk pumpkin puree with pumpkin spice and two dots of activated charcoal because I wanted to experiment with it, and a goats milk/oatmeal/honey soap with honey drizzle. I fell in love with my pumpkin puree soap, I do not think I could ever make a batch to match it, though I will try. Now I am addicted to fruit puree soaps and I am planning a strawberry one for this weekend.
My least favorite bars were salt bars. They weeped so bad from the Arizona monsoon (go figure, I make a salt soap, and the rain comes that week out of a year, bad humidity) and they were a pain to work with. I may need to refine the recipe and try it again when I feel like wasting coconut oil lol.
I only do crockpot HP. Im far too impatient for CP, though when I need a soap to stay beautiful with goats milk, I might have to suck it up.
I look forward to getting to know everyone, and every now and then I may pick some brains, if that's ok.
