Newish to soap making - I'm a kid that wants to make soap like mom

[CelestialLizzie]

My mom was a soaping expert and had a small business making soap, it mostly fell through because of personal issues but I still hear from family members about how her soap was the nicest soap they've ever used. She passed when I was 13, I'm 23 now. I made soap before and after she died, and I never got the hang of CP but I got pretty used to M&P, and I always really loved doing it. For obvious reasons it means a lot more to me than just a hobby, and I lost interest in it for a few years and stopped doing it but I want to learn it again and get better at it.
I'm not great at checking in on my social medias, but I think it'd be nice to introduce myself nonetheless.

Lots of friendly folks here will be glad to help you along your soapmaking journey, whether you choose to do M&P, CP, HP, LS, -- or even CS (cream soap) or SS (shave soap).

Welcome to this group and that was a real nice introduction. What a great way to connect with your mom! I did melt and pour for many years. And then 3 years ago I ventured into cold process -- just one toke and I'm hooked for life.

Welcome Lizzie. I'm glad you've found something that will help you remember and feel close to your mom! You'll find lots of people here who will love to help. You described your mom as an expert; keep in mind that she was once a beginner too, and had to muddle through all of the details and possibilities in order to find her best recipes. You'll find yours too!

Aww, thanks! I have to admit I just like to edit photos for fun to make phone and desktop backgrounds (often in wallpaper engine), so I have a lot of random pictures I've edited for the fun laying around.
