These are the 3 batches that I posted about previously. They all turned out pretty thank goodness but I'm not crazy about the scents. The first is a Mango Coconut that I wanted to do white on white but it's more of a tan and cream color and the scent is kind of chemically smelling. The second is...

I thought I was going to lose my mind yesterday. I planned on doing 2 batches of soap but my sister complained that all I ever do is swirls and "Can't you do something different?!" She then got online and began looking at Pinterest for ideas....I used to love Pinterest :evil: She found a square...

I had to stop making soap for about 2 weeks because I ran out of curing room but I finally got most of them cleared out and started making more. I hit a soaping streak and after the 3rd batch, I ran out of one of my regular soaping oils. Soooo, it was the perfect time to tweak my recipe and try...

Okay, so here's the deal....One of my first batches of soap was a hanger swirl with WSP's Mango Twist FO. It smells amazing and everyone that I know is waiting for the bars to cure. My sister came over one day and took a bar from each of my batches and I told her to let them air out and I...

I think I did well with this scent considering it accelerated trace and tried to rice on me as soon as I added it. I got so flustered with this batch that I placed my layers upside down. I meant to have the white layer on top to do a pink mica swirl and pink glitter. I didn't realize I messed up...

Last week I made my first batch of soap in my PVC mold. I kept it in the mold for a couple of days but when it was still too soft to unmold, I put it in the freezer. When I got it unmolded, it began to sweat so I left it on the table under the ceiling fan for a few hours then cut it. The next...

I think the scent is either Mango Twist or Mango Tango Twist...can't remember. Anyway, I used the neon sample packet from BB I think with some titanium dioxide and a hanger swirl.

The first and unscented pink kaolin clay and cocoa powder swirl and the second is scented with Gardenia. My mother wanted the gardenia scented one. I used the recommended amount for a medium scent but it still really strong.

I made these with the Woodland Elves sample I got from BB. I only used 1/2 the bottle in 27oz of oils. It was super strong at first and I thought I was going to hate it but it's mellowed some. I've been using a scrap piece in the bathroom to wash my hands and I think it's growing on me.

I got Woodland Elves FO as a sample from BB and I didn't really think I would use it because I'm not too crazy about pine scents. I decided to do a smallish batch of soap tonight in a cardboard mold I was playing around with. I figured that it holds about 27 - 28 ounces of oils and because I...

Okay, I'm probably going to come across as a bit obnoxious and I apologize right now...lol I have never picked up a hobby or craft that has interested me that I haven't been atleast passably good at. Painting, sewing, crochet, knitting, jewelry making...whatever it was, I saw it and thought...

I finally made my first soap. I had played with Soap Calc until I found a recipe that used oils I could buy locally and the numbers looked great but it used 15% castor and after doing a lot of reading, I was worried that the soap would be "soft, sticky and/or waxy" feeling. So, I decided to just...

A little back story...I regularly fight with the shower drain in my home. I'm pretty sure the main issue is the way the pipes were laid and meet up with another shower and the laundry in this jumble between the walls.... don't ask! Anyway, every month or so the main shower starts to clog...

Hi everyone, My name is Lia and this will be my very first post after lurking for weeks...lol..go me! I've never actually made any soap but I'm seriously interested and have been researching for a while. I tend to pick up a craft and do it obsessively for a month or so until I've got it...
