I went on a mini-soap making spree yesterday. I hadn't made soap in over a month, but I got the urge again (big time) yesterday, & made 4 batches! The fruits of my labor yesterday: Coconut Lime Verbena Pink Sugar Blueberry Pomegranate Pineapple Paradise (a salt bar)

I've got a lady wanting some stuff made with a Red by Giorgio Beverly Hills fragrance, but I can't find a dupe of it anywhere, does anyone know of a good one? Or a decent substitute? I checked fragranceoilfinder.com without any luck. Thanks!

My very first show was this weekend, I just got home and got everything unloaded. It was in my home town (I live, like, 10 miles north of town), a big fall festival we have every year in October. It was awesome, it went so well!! Saturday was my biggest day, today wasn't too shabby either...

So, I'm branching out and trying different suppliers for FOs and stuff, & I just got in a bottle of licorice from save on scents. Has anyone used it in CP before? Does it smell better and more like licorice once you get it INTO the soap? because out of the bottle, it smells um..well, it...

I'm searching for a good Hawaiian Tropic dupe! I've tried one from WSP that was supposed to smell similar, but it came out smelling more like gingerbread in my CP :wink: My best friend issued me a special request for lotion, soap, and whatever else I can churn out in that scent. Anybody...

Here's a smattering of the stuff I've been working up lately. Tomato & Basil CP Lime MP - The dollar store had the awesome little take out boxes, but they only had TWO left...I wish they'd had more! Three of those shamrocks in a cello bag fit perfectly in there. Packaged bath bomb...

I made swirls! It took me 7 tries (been trying to swirl every batch since my first lol), and I broke down and bought a slab mold vs my loaf mold that I'd been trying with, but I have finally achieved swirly soapy goodness! Yay! Here it is in the mold, mid-gel: cut another shot of...

I'm interested in making some whiskey soap. Does anyone have any info they could share? Do you just use straight whiskey in place of the water? Does it need to sit out or do I need to burn off the alcohol somehow? Does one brand of whiskey work better than another or will the cheap stuff work...

Whoo! I made more. Batch #4 was ginger lime (again I tried a swirl, and again, no swirly goodness, I think it got too thick on me) there's rosemary on top Batch #5 popped out of the mold this morning - banana coconut (I used color! It turned the actual color I wanted and everything!) I...

I was wondering, what are some good oils to use to get a nice, white bar of CP soap? My have all turned out a tannish color (I did get a decent beige-y ecru using coconut, canola, and soybean, but still not white white). Is adding some titanium dioxide about the best way to go? Crisco...

Pictures of my very 1st three CP batches! first batch, almost fully cured now, 75% olive oil, 25% coconut second CP batch, olive, coconut, soybean, canola, and safflower oils. lemon biscotti (smells just like poppyseed muffins), with lemon peel added. My 3rd batch, made two...

So, I'm going to just stop being a big chicken, suck it up and try making some CP soap. At the moment, I have on hand only olive oil and canola oil. How would those two oils play together? Nicely? What would be a good ratio if those were the only two oils I used? & I have a big...

I need suggestions please before I injure myself any further. I made some MP soap yesterday that looks like fruit slices (and smells like mango papaya, holy cow mmm). I molded the center pieces in a piece of PVC, I didn't coat the inside of the PVC with anything, and it popped right out. So...

Hi everyone, my name is Jenn. I'm from northern Missouri. I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere with my husband, two daughters, and numerous (numerous) pets. I design websites, paint, craft, mess around with candles a little - and discovered soaping and was just instantly hooked. I...
