Oh good! I just ordered "Tangerine Lavender" from rustic essentials. It was on sale 8 oz for 5.95 I'm excited to soap this!

I mix my micas and pigments in oil first then add a drop or two of glycerin and stir it all together in a small Dixie cup with Popsicle sticks. That's my method.

Add glycerin to your micas and pigments it really does help avoid pesky color specs.

Sure! LC means Lye Concentration or Lye Solution or the amount of water used with lye. You can work all this out with a soap calc. The lower the number say 30% the more water you have and ~usually more time to play and wiggle room for Fragrance oils, essential oils, creams, milks, sugars or...

We had quick and easy "Chicken Fajitas" they were yummy.

These are so pretty and delicate. Such a nice shade of light pink. Well done!

The weather is unbelievable it seems all the month of Jan. hardly any humidity. Been really dry. Great time of year for the attractions. TY~ all for the warm welcomes and compliments on my soap.

Yes! I recently did this too. Got 8 bars and some samples in it for 5.15. It's a cardboard envelope (flat rate) probably really made for papers. Nothing is bubble wrapped tho. The customer has to be okay with it being shipped this way. My soaps made it undamaged. You may have to tape the edges...

I'm in Plant City! ~waves back

Yep pretty much. The flat rate boxes are free to anyone at the post office. Flat rate to anywhere in the US. If it fits it ships. They have 3 sizes of boxes. Small for 5.00 something ( price just went up) I fit 3 bars of soap in this. Medium for 11.00 something (price just went up) I can...

I'm all about the berries in my soap. The one from sweetcakes is really good. ~I agree! Behaves well and the scent doesn't fade out completely. You know what I do? (My little secret here) is I mix mostly Black raspberry vanilla (an amazing no discolor or accelerate FO) with 1 ounce of the...

I really like the FO from aroma heaven aka rustic essentials called "Raspberries & Lilac" it's had okay reviews. Some people thought it smells "Synthetic". It did a little OOB so I was worried when I soaped it. But I'm really surprised how pretty it is now 3 weeks cured. It's a really med/soft...

TY ~everyone. Such a compliment Rock&Royality I guess we are each our own worse critic. I'm super picky when it comes to getting it right, I think a lot of us are that way. FO and EO are too expensive to have soap on a stick even occasionally. If this is the worse ~oops I have I suppose I'm...

Wow ~so I just finished reading about diluting the lab colors. Totally dropped the ball with this one. Really wish I had looked harder for info on usage before soaping 4 lbs of oils ~and such a delicious scent. :::Sighs lesson learned I guess. Still going to use the soap tho and maybe sell...

They are still curing. Soon as they are ready I will see how they perform in water. I will check out soap queens video. TY for the tip.

I've been just using the flat rate boxes and I have flat rate padded envelopes coming in the mail. (You can only get those online) thru the postal service. I've been driving the packages to the post office, that's getting tiresome tho. I'm now looking into shipping by PayPal printing the postage...

Mine didn't come with any direction. I didn't see anything on the bottle either. I just "winged it" never have used them before. I know now for next time tho. I just used it straight out of the bottle.

I obviously don't have a clue what to do with lab colors lol I would have mixed them in a cup with some of oils then add glycerin next time. Makes since tho to mix with discounted water because its super concentrated. I've been mixing my micas in oil and glycerin too. I don't get the specs...

Hi everyone, New here. Had to share this soap I made a few days back. It was my first time using (Lab Colors) from bramble berry. I assumed because it came in a liquid state it would be smooth and not require premixing with oils or glycerin. I was wrong lol. Question is because its only...
