Just made my kaolin charcoal facial soap. Can't wait to cut it tomorrow with my new soap cutter. Have 8 batches of oils ready for my soaping marathon tomorrow
I'm never secretive. BB has Peach Bellini????? OMG I didn't see it! Now I have to buy it. Dang it! LOL. This one's Peach Fragrance Oil from BB. Comparing it to the fail of NG's, it's a lot better than that. It's not going to be as good as B&BW, but daughter and I will be happy with it for now.
And I was pretty tickled that the batter behaved so I could decorate. I WAS into cake decorating before the fibro hit hard so being able to do it with soap now..and NOT spend all that time making the icing (making soap batter takes about 1/4 the time).
Hog heaven, ladies, I tell you.
I froze buttermilk.
hehehe. Me too. Been awhile and getting back into soaping. I was going to make salt soap with 100% coconut milk. Got the milk in the freezer, the salt bought and measured out. Then appendicitis struck. Now I'm just chilling as i recover and longingly looking at my soap mold. I thought I'd give it a shot yesterday but it was a bit too soon. Maybe a few more days and I can move more comfortably again...So now I'm lurking here!
I got the cart from Amazon.com. It's called: Seville Classics 6-Drawer Organizer Cart, Frosted White. It was $39.99 with free shipping. In fact, I like it so much I ordered another one last night!
Dana, It's hard to tell from the picture... Did you use the hanger in the opposite direction of the layers?

I unmolded this tallow lard bar, made in my Kelsei slab mold. The FO was a bit of a racehorse, which surprised me, as I'd soaped with it before and it wasn't - gremlins? So the delicate swirl I envisioned turned into a wha-bam-plop-drop and a spoon swirl. The colors came out better than I'd hoped, though!!
Soooo That old saying 'soap on a stick'
I wanted to make a soap for fun today. No big deal. Used my lard recipe. Soaped around 90. I little hotter than I normally do, but not a big deal.
I wanted to do a test of the Blackberry Sage by Nurture Soap. I got them right as they were released so there was not much info on them....
Well... lets just say when I went to dump my green mica in after I got to trace... the color just sat on top of the hardening soap. It went into my nearby crockpot and got it to the point that I could stir it.... and shoved it into a mold. But I think it is going to look like it is MOLDING not molded. Arh!
Just went to Nurture's site. The FO is updated and suggested to not be used in CP. It does not stick well, is a heater and an accelerator.
Sigh.... Well it will be good in a lotion. Ha!
