Congratulations! That’s great!
What size are these, Carolyn? And where do you get them?
Today was a bath & body day rather than a soaping day. I'm getting ready for the season's first market next week.

This looks so beautiful! I'm new at soap making, could you tell me how you made this?
The ones in the pic are mostly the 100 duck mixed batch from Amazon with a few individual 1 dozen packs. They are also available on Oriental Trading. Where did you get yours? Last night I sold 30 @ $2 each duckies and it was a slow night. Poopie duckies sold out last night.
Those are Adorable! I only tested one duck so i have no clue if it was a fluke or not.

Got mine at Oriental trading when i had a free shipping code but then saw the ones on Amazon were cheaper (Not to mention faster). Amazon is probably where I will get the next batch.

The soapy thing I did today was get bested by goat milk 
Made a goat milk soap with the ice cube method and thought I was too cool for school so I didn't strain it and it's a thick, lumpy, but pleasantly fragrant mess. I shudder to think of what's going to happen when I cut it.
I'll try the split method, but I still have a lot of frozen goat milk cubes so I don't know if I should try another batch but strain the milk. I also put the lye/milk mix in a warm bath to heat it from 68 degrees up to 90...but that may have also been an error.
Revenge of the goats.

In brief: Split the batter into roughly three parts and coloured each with Charcoal, Yellow Mica and Orange Mica respectively. I then poured the yellow mix into one side of the black mix, and the orange into the other side. Did ONE circular stir with a spoon, then poured up and down the mold until full. This is usually referred to as an 'in the pot' (ITP) swirl.

First successful attempt at CP and it’s not awful! I’m so excited!
I just used my wellness card to order 12 bottles of jojoba oil at GNC. I love it in whipped butters and it is so expensive. I may even try it in soap since it was free.
I also ordered the basic tall skinny mold from Nurture. I have one but I have to hold in the sides with pickle jars to keep is from bowing. This way I can CPOP without the fear that homemade pickles will explode in the oven.

You should be excited. Those look great! Congratulations. You’ve just joined the cult. Mwah ha ha.
I wouldn't use it in soap unless you're doing M&P. I'd use it in a leave on product.
Very nice indeed!

Yesterday I decided to make a 100% O.O soap. with -40% SF that I saw on this forum in a post a few years ago: "Deanna, I have a question" from Feb / 2014.
It's just incredible!
I didn't use SB; I added the oil with the soda and stirred for about 50 min and when I decided to add the water in small quantities, always stirring, the magic happened!
I shaped and cut today; it's beautiful!!!
CP and without zap!
So happy!
Edit:
No soda, yes lye. Sorry for my poor/confuse english...

Thank you, Martha! I’m so hooked!
I am actually going to make soap again today. Dragon's Blood, at least 2 batches maybe 3, Tobacco Leaf & Amber, Autumn Leaves for sure. Then I will see how much more ambition and or lye I have left. Once again I am really low and need to do a lye run, maybe Friday.

I cut my holeaf white bouquet Geode soap made yesterday and found everything I’d planned worked out and I’ve loads of glycerin rivers. Can’t wait to see how it cures now and how much moisture it loses as part of my learning
I'm confused on your adding the soda to the oils....do you mean the lye to the oils? Also, at a -40 SF it should zap you until it's cured for some time.
