Five years is a long time to think about it - glad you finally made the leap.@AliOop That's 11 years for you. I made my first batch November 2019. I think that is ~2.5 years. I've been saving bacon grease for 5 though, so I have been thinking about it for a while...LoL.
You are wasting perfectly good soaping fat there, my friend...Any frying oil, hamburger grease anything other than bacon grease either gets thrown in the garbage or every now and then gets poured on a brush pile to light and burn.
I may be cheap, but I'm not going to collect any grease from cooking on the grill, either.Any frying oil, hamburger grease anything other than bacon grease either gets thrown in the garbage or every now and then gets poured on a brush pile to light and burn.
Love it!I cleaned/sorted/tidied my soap/craft room today. By the end of next month, I'll be working at home full time and my "office" is in what was out spare room. It's become my craft room over time and, more recently, my soap room. Last week, we had a garage sale to reduce my yarn stash, the remainder of which is now in our storage shed until we have another sale.
I managed to make enough room for a desk (picked up at last week's neighbourhood garage sale) and tidied up the rest of the room. The box on the desk is filled with knitting books that I'll be getting rid of at our next sale. Now, it's wine time.

I made a rainbow soap today. It took three hours but I couldn't think of any other way to get the layers even. I used Imperial Oud as the fragrance, I just discovered there's an entire website dedicated to Oud! I'd love your thoughts on this video....
There's one near me in two months and I'm thinking about going. Would love to hear all about it! What would you do differently next time etc....I sold at my first farmers market yesterday! It was fun, stressful, fun, and stressful!
Still recuperating…
I'd like to know what that is as well. Like the colour though.@Dan9250 What is Chlorophyllin ?
Correction: "IFRA" not "AFRA"I have posted links on this forum to AFRA requirements and other sources that address safety issues.
