It was okay. Just thankful that it weren't nothing like the Great Red Mica Spill of 2021.

Holy moley crow those are amazing! Must. Have. Stone shaped. Soap mold.
As a fellow messy soaper, thanks for helping me feel better about myself. An update on the paper cut: it's actually swollen and hot, and still oozing. Such a pain (literally and figuratively).

I love the texture on top! Were you just doing figure 8 swirls?Made my 2nd ever batch of soap with lard. Added Neem oil to this one using recipe @AliOop posted here for skin conditions.
A soap...
I must admit, I wasn’t expecting green when I cut the loaf.

Ouch. I hate that - fingers have so many nerve endings, don’t they? I suffer from split fingertips in the winter, I use a product called “nuskin” which smells like nail polish and absolutely kills when you put it on but does work. But your finger sounds too tender and infected for that. Hope it feels better.

YES. It was cathartic. I could not stop.

Wholesale Supplies Plus is having a sale. I swore I would not buy too many fragrance oils this year. I have 18 in my cart. 
Somebody stop me!

18 oils per year, you say? That's less than 2 per month. C'mon, nothing to worry about (as long as you stay sober for the rest of the year 
).

Sadly, you are right, but I'm taking some out right now. Really...

HAPPY TO OBLIGE!
As a WSP Silver Member for 10 years while serving wholesale customers, I often got FO Freebies or at a discount. I'm not a fan. Maybe 1 out of 100 was good enough to reorder. "Blooming Tulips" is one that sold out every year it was offered as an early spring "limited edition". Something to think about.
ETA: EO/FO BLENDS ARE THE EXCEPTION -- Bladderwrack & Pink are tops but they only come in bulk sizes now.

. I have tried a few I hated, and a few that disappeared on me, but I have a few that I love. In my defense, several of the fragrances are reorders of ones I've tried and liked. I can't resist the lure of a new fragrance though. Anybody have a favorite pine scent?

Operation Empty Cupboard continues. I made a batch of lotion bars and finished off the rest of vitamin E oil and a bag of mystery butter, plus beeswax and jojoba oil. Scented with geranium and lavender essential oils.

Well imma have to make soap this evening to clear out some space for all the FOs I promised myself I wasn't going to order, but did anyway...
I used the google chart for WSP strong & sticks in CP for all my pics!Wholesale Supplies Plus is having a sale. I swore I would not buy too many fragrance oils this year. I have 18 in my cart.
I managed to get out with a measly 4 bottles. Wishing I’d have kept the 5th in the cart!

FOUR bottles? You only bought FOUR? I am in awe of your self control! Or perhaps I have a problem...
