    Jojoba vs Lanolin

    I've gotten very cheap lately :oops: so I thought I'd ask before the experiment. I love lanolin in my cp soap. I formulate towards more fragile, elderly skin and love the protective layer it gives. However, in trying to find the ultimate elusive vegan recipe, I thought I'd try jojoba as a...

    Fitbit

    I'm horrible at dieting and refuse to give up my carbs. So my only other option is exercise. I work out with a trainer 2x a week and have a Planet Fitness membership which I rarely use. I bought a Fitbit for a little more accountability and it does get me walking more. I need a little...

    Nurture's New Site

    I told myself I would just look... The FOHO would not buy all of the new stuff she has.... I only bought 5.... The layout, colors and esthetic of the site is just beautiful. Web design - another of the beautiful Cosmos' talents. Check it out but be warned... It's addictive. In a few months...

    Great place for gloves, zip bags

    In anticipation of soaping really really soon! (Hubby has agreed to help minimally).... He's scared to death of the lye. (It can't have anything to do with the pictures and notes I used to leave in the kitchen of death warnings, skull & crossbones:) It got to the point he would ask me if there...

    It's been awhile- Hello again

    I’ve been away long enough that I thought it was appropriate to re-introduce myself. Hi my name is Cindy and I am an all things soapy addict. It’s been about a year with the occasional peek since I’ve been on site. 3 major surgeries and an ongoing slow recovery process has kept me away. To be...

    Curious - Why the general negative impressions for ED?

    I've never had anything but excellent shopping experiences at ED, but there seems to be an underlying level of discontent about them. I don't want to start a bashing discussion, but I am interested to hear what people's concerns have been. Maybe this is feedback ED needs to hear?

    Infusing with Hard Oils?

    Poor inventory tracking has resulted in me running out of infused Calendula oil. While cussing myself out for having to delay a burning project, I was wondering if anyone has tried infusing with lard or palm and making oil pucks? I realize melting point of oil could potentially ruin the...

    The Lye Guy Bottles

    I've read all of the posts re shaking lye bottles and rubbing with dryer sheets to reduce static - both work BTW. I'm really nervous though with these bottles from The Lye Guy. My last order was from ED and no problems. But in these clear bottles the lye is flying around in there! My...

    So I’ve heard good solid reviews about this company and a new credit card with 12 months deferred interest, so I had to check them out.
