    My whole house smells like grass

    ....not the pot kind...the front yard kind :thumbup: If anyone has been searching for a dead-on grass scent, get the one from Peak. Holy Moly does it ever. I made a grass and dirt loaf and you'd swear someone was out front digging!

    Recipes...Lots of Different or Stick with a winner?

    When I started making soap, I made a different recipe for each one! Now that I have tried them I find that there are a few that I love and only manipulate the water part if I want to change it up. Do most of you feel that way or do you still use lots of different recipes? Also, I really love...

    My first crappy batch :(

    Well, it had to happen sooner or later, right? This is the first batch that is really crappy. It was supposed to be cotton candy rounds; blue bottoms and pink tops. The bottom looks dull green and the top dull pink, the fuse between the two isn't complete and has gaps in it, and it barely...
