Thats awesome about the wine bar! Congrats!!Had an event at a wine bar last night and sold 40 bars! Very exciting. Today I'm working on my website and digging deeper into the Square app. The app and the online version are not syncing. Figured out how to send an invoice in order to ship an order. Probably won't use this feature much, though, because there's a service fee % attached to receiving a payment via an invoice. Although, my best friend suggested tacking the 3.3% service fee onto the order. Thoughts??
Need to fulfill a big order out-of-state and can't figure out how to add shipping cost to the app to include in the invoice, even though I selected the "Request shipping address" to the invoice. What the heck am I missing here??
Can't yet create posts in the General Business Forum because I do not have sufficient posts. Otherwise I would have stuck this question in there.
Other than that, I feel super antsy today and plan to make a larger batch of soap with a recipe using hemp seed oil that my testers LOVE. That's a good feeling. Also making another batch of lard soap with a different % of fats to compare the two.
@linne1gi Another very pur-tee soap! I am so curious about this. Are the bars on the left, top, and right in the same position as your mold? Is one curl the same height as the mold? What does one plain curl look like, any chance for a pic? Great job.
I have the Halo glitter and it is a bit chunky for inside soap but its very pretty on top. a little goes a long way
I may have over done it this first time. Probably could have left some of the top of my soap showing. I think I was a crow in another life because I really like shiny things!
If you knead it at the proper time and then keep it airtight for a few more days to make sure it's saponified, it might be ok. I wouldn't try mixing it in within 3 days, and if you could wait at least 5-7 that would be better. That said, MP is a bit different than soap, especially the clear stuff, so I'm not sure how the holo will react to bring surrounded by actual soap molecules. It would be an interesting experiment, certainly, and if you try it I'd love to see it.
Just curious what brand you acquired. I highly recommend adding in EDTA and some BHT if you are going to use above 30% lard. The least problematic I find in So Cal is from Smart and Final or Snow Cap Brand from Wal Mart.I bought 50 pounds of lard today at a local grocery store. Soooooooo.....................................................................
The look my 17 year-old daughter gave me as I hauled it out of the trunk and into the house. Priceless.
"Lard, mom? Really?" as she shook her head and went upstairs and into her bedroom.
Will report back when I try it!
It works for M&P in clear soap bases or clear bases that are lightly colored because you can see through the soap and light gets in to reflect off the glitter. It just gets buried in opaque soap so I imaging the same would be true for soap dough. It’s only going to be visible on the outer surfaces basically.
