Sooooo….. I’m overflowing with soap shavings (I have an 8 pound bucket full and almost overflowing!) and want to make my first confetti soap soap. What is a good ratio of confetti to soap batter? Is 50/50 too much confetti, will the soap fall apart!?!? I’m making a plain batch of soap with...

Testing out some new Nurture Soap fragrance oils…. left to right… Black Raspberry Vanilla with my new favorite One Pot Wonder pour! Bergamot & Honey with a half hearted attempt at a feather swirl. The batter was so thin (I think there was some de-acceleration involved) it leaked out of mold!☹️...

I just got two Facebook messages for two different people asking questions that would take me hours to answer and I’m not even sure if I even know the answers to give them. my first instinct is to point the starter kit friend to Bramble Berry for the kit and YouTube. But there is so much more!

So I need to dilute some soap paste for all my thanksgiving prep dishes and just realized that I used the last of my distilled water for a master batch of lye. Really don’t want to brave the store before work. Can I use filtered tap water? Should I use preservatives? I have germall plus...

Been catching up on some yard work I’ve been avoiding. Finally repotted some pineapple plants and weeded the bed. Waiting for two plants to grow the “suckers” so I can plant them. So 8 potential 🍍 ! Although one got a we bit too cold last winter, so maybe just 7 🍍! But still something to look...

I have a soap design idea for a friend and she loves the idea and now I'm afraid to make it. It is mainly straight even layers with an embed! A flag with nine layers I think, 8 alternating black and blue layers separated by 1 layer of white, with a red heart in the top layer of black and blue...

Thought this was cool and may want to try eventually!?!? https://www.instagram.com/reel/CUaqN5clNKy/?utm_medium=copy_link it is an Instagram post so not sure if it’s gonna be viewable here…

I want to make my chamomile infused soap and after this months challenge, I am attempting to plan more than wing it! I want to attempt a hanger swirl and picked a color palette I liked. But I'm debating on using 2 or 3 accent colors. Please help me decide. It's going to be a tall & skinny soap...

I master batched for the first time with a small amount of lye I had left before I ordered more lye a couple weeks ago. About 30oz of 50/50 lye/water. Just went to use it and I guess I wasn’t using it often enough or it needs stirring every once in a while? When I went to pour some for a small...

I recently bought Wild Platanica's square pull through plates which are made to fit in the quart dairy containers. I really like them and the smaller square size of the soap. But my problem is... I do not buy a lot of those dairy containers or use the dairy products when I buy the containers. I...

So I have been making shampoo & conditioner bars for a couple month now. Needless to say I now have many shampoo bars on hand from my experiments and looking for ways to use it up. So I'm wondering if it would be possible after testing PH, re-melt and add something (a baking soda solution...

One of my pineapple plants is finally giving me a pineapple! sooo cute! And yesterday my neighbor gave me a flat of strawberries and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with them! I’ll probably end up freezing them with the last mango 🥭 harvest... but this is a lot of strawberries! Need...

I was wandering about the oils section of walmart and found this: is it the same as Sweet almond oil? Only ingredients listed is almond oil. Could I use it in a pinch?

I infused some oils with chamomile yesterday. I sorta mastered batched my oils for my recipe I was making so I’d have plenty at the correct % and so I didn’t have to infuse each oil separately. Anyways my question: How do I store my leftover? I have about 16 oz in mason jars. Fridge or...

I'm no scientist or expert of any kind, but as a older women of Hispanic decent that is becoming hairier in her old age this YouTube video caught my eye. As I started searching on the internet about barium sulfide I keep seeing "toxic or harmful", although it is used for hair removal.... on...

Second attempt at a pipe swirl! Still a little messy but more defined than my first attempt! I like! Split my batter wrong and had too much red and pink so made some single bars with the extra! Smells pretty good too! Used Chance of a lifetime from Nature’s Garden... my son said it smells like...

It’s definitely red mica. Fire Engine red form a sample box I got from Dibble Dabble. So my question is ... could I add a wee of disbursed activated charcoal or kaolin clay to tone it down or should I use another mica. I’m getting stuff ready for a pipe swirl and I love the red and pink...

I made @AliOop 's Coffee Salt Bar! Went with 80% CO and 20% Avocado Butter because I had some I needed to use up. Added some ground coffee and some dark chocolate powder just cause. I put it in a square individual silicone mold and it turned out pretty cool! the hardest bar of soap I've ever...

I was YouTube-ing string paint art just cause. And found this: I think I’m going to try this too on some soap! They both look kinda fun! It seems I’ve been awfully chatty lately and could maybe try and enter this month! 😳🤔😬 Anyways....thought someone would enjoy this!

I made a second batch of Honey and hemp oil soap Friday in a wooden loaf mold. Because of the honey, the first batch over heated and cracked and almost volcano’d. So this batch I put in the fridge after pouring in the mold. And now I have a loaf of soap partially gelled. Did I put it in the...
