What soapy thing have you done today?

[Sagebrush]

I cut three batches of soap, researched blueprints for making a wire cutter, tried to talk my husband into making a wire cutter

 

[jenfrat]

Figured out what EO blend I'm going to use in the batch I'm making tomorrow.
Also helped a friend get ready to make her first batch! She's doing it as we speak!

 

[Lindy]

50 shower gels & 50 hair conditioners. Exhausted. labeling them tonight...

Mixed an EO blend I have been toying with. I will probably soap it tomorrow.

Got my new mold from BB thanks to the post about the sale this week, also got a nice sample of tabacco and bay leaf - yum!

Made a pretty extensive excel spreadsheet on all the FO and EO's I want so I can narrow it down. Getting a hefty commission check next month so I will be stocking up.

Just made soap with makgeolli (Korean rice wine) earlier today. I add activated carbon and green natural tea polyphenols tablet as colorants. There's peppermint EO in it too. It traced so quickly, hopefully the swirls was okay. The smell of the makgeolli was still strong, I wonder if it will dissipate as it cured.

Will post pic if it turn out okay.

I made ANOTHER mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also packaged up my laundry soap, master batched some oils and some lye (that was the disasterous caustic mess). Rather than tempt fate after that hell fire insanity I just shut it down!

May two batches of shaving soap and 15 sets of 4 bath tub paints. Also made aftershave gel and toner gel. This was all yesterday. Today, 4 batches soap after work. Getting stocked and ready for the show and market season.

Made my first purchase of EO's. I ordered from New Directions as they seem to be a popular and reputable supplier. My next batch will be my first ever scented soap. Very excited to make a scented loaf of goat milk soap!

Due to arrive;
Lavender 40/42
Rosemary (Spanish)
Peppermint (Japan)
Lemongrass
Sweet Orange
Cedarwood (Atlas)
Litsea Cubeba

I've been reading all the blending threads and the EO's listed above fit the profiles I like and will offer many blending opportunities. I hope!

Playing with my new soap stamp!

Snagged this little beauty from the local thrift store. It's 10x10x3 deep. $2.
Lining will be a challenge but I'm up for it.

I made a few new soap fo's yesterday along with 2 more batches of Dragon's Blood. Today I made 2 batches of Lavender and still debating on what else I am going to do today. My new fo's are Lettuce, Black Amber Lavender, Tobacco & Bay Leaf (from B&B) and Summer Sorbet from Soapsupplies.net. Now I am debating if I am going to make another batch of Summer Sorbet or another new one from Soap Supplies.net called Fruitopia and I just might pour another Dragon's Blood. Really need to get me a 25lb mold so I can just pour 1 batch of DB at a time...

Well im in the testing phase of my self tanning spray and I woke up this morning with my leg the color of a carrot so I did some readjusting of my formula today and added blueberry to my carrot mixture to tone the orange down into a more brown color lol. Hopefully my other leg turns out better because im running out of non visible body parts! May the tanning gods bless my poor legs haha. Oh and I also stressed out over my stupid bubble bath recipe because it wont do what I want it to. Had to put it away so I could come back to it when im less mad at it.

 

[jules92207]

Well I was all ready to make a soap with one of my eo blends I mixed over the weekend but after my attempts to make dinner ended in a series of unfortunate events I decided not to tempt fate. Maybe tomorrow will be better and the kitchen gremlins will be gone.

 

[Sagebrush]

Made a batch with fresh ginger and ginger EO, colored with yellow clay. Second batch this week, and there's another I have to make tomorrow. I'm on a roll!

 

[Belinda02]

Made a few calculations, bought coconut oil and planned for tomorrow.
