What soapy thing have you done today?

[Marilyn Norgart]

Do you use beeswax? If so do you get from a local beekeeper? I went to a beekeeping meeting on tuesday was about how to make stuff like lip balms i had a sniff of the polish she makes and it smells amazing far better than the beeswax i bought online i have a hive but only the one but they didnt produce enough wax for me to use and no1 wanted to sell me beeswax when i asked the club what i want to know is can you taste the honey in the wax if its locally harvested without as much processing

I hope you don't mind me chiming in--but I have never tasted honey with my beeswax--but what I have gotten from my hives have been when they have swarmed and they are pretty good at cleaning the cells out

I was only basing it from what i could smell lol just assumed if you can smell it you could probably taste it too. Surly it would depend where in the hive you got it from? If it was brace comb or unwanted comb it could have honey in still but of course filtering would rid it of that if it was there anyways. I feel like iv paid for an inferior product and will try get some beewax direct from a hive then filter it myself would prefer that anyways iv got nearly a kg of this beeswax so might put it in some soaps and find someone who is willing to sell. Iv been asked to look after a hive in a church yard so might get enough from 2 hives. I love beekeeping but im still new too it so im still very much learning

Thank you Kiwi but the joy is in using it! I am glad you like the design, It is fun to do and always comes out a little different

I've just made a confetti soap - my offcuts bucket was getting a bit too full, so i decided it was time to use them up. I've used for the first time a beautiful fragrance called 'Japanese Cherry Blossom'. OMG - divine! I put a bit of ylang ylang essential oil with it too. I've emailed the supplier to find out which US supplier it comes from so i can put it in the fragrance database.

I have used Japanese Cherry Blossom from a few different suppliers and like it! I never thought to add ylang ylang to it, what a great idea.

It satisfies my need to have a little bit of EO in every batch.

I donated soap and lotion bars to my church auction. Today I labeled everything to deliver to the buyers tomorrow. And let me know how to change the orientation of the photos! They were right side up on my computer.
