This is what I do, too. I used to add it to the soap batter, but found that it didn't always incorporate well.

I just switched to Kirkland in December and noticed no difference.

Gorgeous! I just wish the photos were "scratch and sniff"!

I sent her an email and asked if she might be willing to accept donations to get it back up and running. I know I would be willing do donate as it has been an invaluable tool for me for the past several years. I'll let you know what she says.
