Since the carrot tissue oil came out so well, I grated a butternut squash I’ve had for too long and am making butternut squash tissue oil. Let see how far I can push this “tissue oil” thing.

I'm pretty new here, but I have been looking around for a source of orange wax. Where did you get yours from? Thanks!

I bought mine on Amazon - Dr. Adorable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HG24DLC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_TVA2TQQSQ4V2H1YPCD5E

Another source is New Directions Aromatics.

McDonald's has a Shamrock Shake, which is what I think she was referring to. I was just about to post Shamrock Shimmy too

Great minds think alike
I didn’t know about the McDonalds shake. They don’t do that here.

I needed something to do productive that didn’t take much thought. Got a bunch of squeezies prepped.
Packaged a bunch new soaps to upload to my site soon.
Packed some orders for the usps.
Trying to just keep putting one foot in front of the other today.
Fortunately I find a good assembly line very comforting!

Taking soap photos for my website and labeling packaged soaps. Making banana soap later.

I’ve begun applying to jobs. It’s time. It’s crazy that I’ve been unemployed since April.

Cut my BRV soap - AKA Mr Blobby. It's what happens when one of the colours is thicker than the others when doing a line pour
Pretty sure I can see some semen in there swimming up to meet their fate on the bar on the left

I always pull up the pictures of soaps before I read the comments. I was thinking about how I really liked the way your soap looked....then read the comment you wrote. Now it cannot be unseen. lol

Cut Abalone & Sea (WSP) and Apple Sage (BB).

I can't decide if that's a good thing or bad for a beautiful Valentine's Day soap or not...

Ummm... I attempted the circling Taiwan swirl soap today. I think it went pretty well considering it was my first attempt. I kept grabbing my phone to take pictures, but I didn't wanna jinx it. I was messing around with the recipe just to try and make it a little harder of a bar and added Shea Butter... I kept telling myself not to and leave it be, so of course I added Shea Butter and it got a wee bit thick on me. Still swirled, but not so much at first, but weirdly enough a nice pretty swirl at the end of the loaf. Now I just need to figure out how to cut it! If I try again, NO shea butter! Its been noted!

I cooked up a 1300 gram batch of dual lye shaving soap for my dear hubby.
Tallow, Stearic acid, castor and coconut oil. SF at 3% with avocado oil, for his dry skin (after cook) Added sodium lacate for hardness. Made quite a fluff when I tested right after cooking. Used lemon and peppermint essential oils as fragance because he likes this combo. Its my first batch with stearic acid, last time I was told I could use a candle as I did'nt have stearic acid - that did not turn out very well, but I researchede and learned a lot. I hope its ok this time.
