Anytime I use green tea powder, I love how it turn varying shades of brown with specks throughout. Maybe I don’t use enough for it to stay green? Beautiful soap!

That looks SO crazy cool! Love it.
Oh come on now, it's not THAT evil!Oh my...
On my phone it looks like broccoli.
Thanks! I'm totally itching to cut it now but I don't want to rush things and make a mess of it at the last minute so I'm being very strong and ignoring it until the morning!
Same!!
Here is the cut of the Strawberry Peach Champagne.

Omgosh love it.
That is so beautiful! Was it HP??
Thanks! Not this time no. I switch off between HP and CP these days.
I love broccoli!!! Seriously, it looks cool.Oh come on now, it's not THAT evil!
This morning we went into town and did some errands, I dropped off a sample of soap for the ladies at the pharmacy and they were delighted with it, they've been helping answer all my weird questions so I figured they'd be interested to see the output ☺
I also swung by the butcher's and scored some unprocessed tallow... Never thought I'd be so happy to get 1.3kg of fat in a bag
So I guess my Friday evening plans involve rendering tallow from scratch!
Just now finished another pull through attempt - well, it smells amazing! I very nearly forgot that the yellow stuff wasn't actually custard... Probably far from perfect, and I only did the two colours, but definitely an improvement. For a start, the pull through tool pulled through more or less ok. Although I may have gone too fast since it brought a chunk of batter out with it... In any case we'll see tomorrow, I guess!
Edit: apparently I'll be shopping for a new stick blender also...

Here is a good place for Skin Care' Soaping' Cosmetics. Educational Tools' Free Recipes W/ instructions. tons of product. I'd like to make Skin Care Products starting w/ a good moisturizer for mature aging skin. I found this site over a year ago & re-visited it again today the name is ( MakingCosmetics.com ) thought I'd share again.
Today I made CP Pineapple / Coconut Scented Soap' both FO behaved well' but the Coconut FO probably will darken some' I did use a 3/4 tea of cocoa powder in half of the batter along w/most of the FO, it did start to get a little hot the top started to split' but that happens hopefully it will reseal when it cools down.
I' don't think i'll ever get tired of watching Lye & Fats Magically Turn To Soap' Its just hits the "Wow Amazing Factor Button W/ Me"
.
I'm waiting for my PineTar to come in' really excited to make my first PineTar Soap. I ordered it from Tractor Supply when its delivered to store I'll pick it up.
. I had to laugh when I read your post " only a fellow soaper truly understands your excitement when getting a bag of fat!. ( It's a soap thing' they don't understand ) lol

It’s been two years since I made my first batch of soap, which was of the crock pot variety. The pieces I still have are DOS-free 
, perhaps due to all of the coconut oil I used 
. After a lot of reading here, I finally worked up the nerve to try a batch of cp soap a week or two later. Learning how to mix lye turned out to be a lot easier than memorizing the alphabet soup of acronyms we use.
