I'm getting shipments of base oils and FO's this week. Can't wait to make beer, wine and scrubby soap with strawberry or blueberry seeds. I think I'm also going to try HP cause I'm too impatient!

BEER is next on my list, and pvc molds...

I just made a tomato & herb kitchen/garden soap today! It has tomato paste, rosemary EO, parsley, and ground luffa in it. I think it's gonna be good!

I did an aloe, cucumber and avocado. Scented naurally....looks pretty good.

I just tossed fudge brownie scented bunnies in the mold

And I did a blend of the margarita lime/banana coconut - and colored it neon green and hot pink ITP swirls. Poured that into little punch bug and 60's type flower molds for teen girls ( I hope they like it anyway )

Lotion yesterday, sugar scrub the day before and I think that's it

I did a lavender/peppermint scented with lavender vanilla. Not something I really like, but a fragrance that a friend loves, so made it for her. Also did my very first successful OMH! Yay. I'm OUT of FO's, EO's, & almost out of CO. Time to restock on everything. *sigh* Oh Darn! Guess I "need" to go shopping!

Thanks honor, I may be hitting you up about HP. Just need to talk my Mom out of one of her crock pots first!


For those of you adding food, tomato paste, cucumber, I think I read some others... do you put anything in there as a preservative? I have a book that I guess is a bit outdated, it mentioned using grapefruit seed extract. When I did research on it, everything I found said it didn't really work as a preservative. I've also found info that you don't need a preservative. Anyone know?

I made Limey Loofa in a PVC pipe. Parsley powder made a gorgeous green color and the loofa in the center is really cool looking.

God I hate it too. I just went on a little soap binge & didn't realize I was using everything up so fast! Such is life~
I don't mind shopping though. My b-day is coming up soon & I have placed my requests with various family members about what soap supply needs/wants I have I know totally spoiled brat here.
OK, enough...I *must* go shop LOL

This week I only made a new batch of Shea Butter Soap & a Rose Scented Soap which I'm thinking of calling Sushine Rose or Malaspina Peach Rose - not sure yet. Just cut them and I've been busy labelling soaps so I can head off to Comox tomorrow for a weekend Kiosk there.

Next week I'm hoping to get 6 more soaps done at least.

Cheers
