Today's bath and body thing was christening my new(ish) craft room - by knocking over a 2000g container of freshly made, hot lotion. 😭 It went everywhere - all four directions off the sides of my work table, all over and into the cleaned and prepped containers (and their flip-cap lids), all over the shelf below the table top (which holds my soap cutters, mixing bowls, and towels - all sprayed with lotion), all over the floor, inside the hot water kettle, into every crevice of my KD-8000 scale, all over the utensil holder (full of clean utensils), and even into the surge protector.

It probably didn't dethrone @KiwiMoose's Great Red Mica Spill as the worst soap room clean-up ever, but it may take the prize in the Most Expensive Loss of Ingredients category. What's worse is that after all the clean-up, I still had to make another batch since this is an order for my friend who makes gift baskets. While I was pouring that batch, I managed to knock over one lotion container, but thankfully caught it before more than a teaspoon escaped.

Then while making dinner, I managed to send a spoon with curry paste flying across the kitchen floor. Seriously? Suffice it to say, I won't be driving anywhere tonight, nor handling firearms, matches, etc.
So sorry! That really is awful.
 
I hear ya... I would have taken pictures for y'all's entertainment value but the lotion puddles just kept spreading so I was afraid to stop wiping it up. Cleaning the containers and equipment took a bit, but it's done and in the books. But I draw the line at labels - those will have to get done another day.
See, I win! I took pictures of mine! 😀

Oh, Ali! What a literal hot mess! So sorry that happened to you….
 
Apparently I'm not in the klutz-free zone just yet... I was putting something in the oven, and one of my AirPods fell out of my ear and rolled to the back corner of the 450ºF preheated oven. I managed to fish it out with a long spatula before it melted, and it appears to be working for now. But, seriously??

🤭 sorry @AliOop but if you don’t laugh you will cry 😉
 
I’ve just ordered some Natrasorb and SCI to make some foaming bath salts. A small batch initially ofc, but I’m hoping it comes out nice enough to make a larger batch to give out for Christmas. Hopefully no clumping once it’s packaged!!
