I also accidentally bought some avocado oil instead of olive oil recently and have no idea what I'm going to do with it. Suggestions welcome.
What soapy thing have you done today?

Well, you can cook with it, you can use it in the shower, you can make soap with it or just use it to mix your micas for a little super fat.
Lip balms, lotion bars
It is really good for your skin. I have a pump bottle of it in my shower to use as an after-shower oil.

That's a LOT of ideas! Thanks! I'm thinking of maybe an avocado soap with a little avocado puree in it since I haven't tried purees in soap yet.
Use it in soap! It's one of the oils in my favorite recipe.
I cut some more soap I have made, its Black Cherry 
and Mulberry it's wonderful I will go post picks on my Gallery for anyone who would like to see them. I hope everybody has a good 
soapy day!

I hope everybody has a good soapy day!I made up Stain Stix and Lip Balms in tubes and tins, And 9 Lotion bars. Today I used up the rest of the lip balm oils for 5 more tubes. I made up 4 deodorant tubes, 3 full, one a tester. and them cooked up 6 hair conditioner bars! I just need to order the hair conditioner tins and I will have enough to sell at my Guild tea!

Avocado oil is great in hair conditioner bars!
I'm all ears. I've only made a couple of recipes I truly enjoy and will keep making in the long run. I've made many that just aren't keepers.
Today I plan to make a 5lb batch of ZNSB, I'm toying with the idea of a lard heavy recipe with some of the avocado just to see if I like lard in soap.

Worked on my phytoplankton and poured the silicone for my impression mat. I think I’m instantly addicted to making things with silicone.

Oohhh! Will you do some for sale?! I have ideas for tops that I have found no source for.
So today I'm making a batch of soap just trying to figure which FO I should use. Also trying to come up with a plan for the March challenge if I can think of something good I might enter and I think I have a idea! My mother said to me remember when you went to mount Rushmore I said yah, she then jokingly said I should carve Mount Rushmore The Presidents faces in to my soap 
lol for the challenge. Do we have any 
artists in are group that could do this lol. My older son actually knows someone at work who does this sort of thing with a chain saw and wood he makes beauty statues. I should let him take a round on my batch of soap with his saw lol. Anyways lol hope everyone has a good soapy day.

I spent today at a craft show. This was my first time using my new shelves and I was quite pleased. New labels too!
Thankyou! I'll try it asap. What SF works well for this? And do I need to add anything (because of the amount of lard) to help prevent DOS?
I do not add anything for DOS and don't have issues. I superfat at either 3 or 5%.
@mx5inpenn Cute labels! I hope the show went well.
