You're addicted to CP when...

I thought some of you crazy addicts could add your thoughts. Here's mine:

When you get new fragrance oils but don't do anything with them because you're still waiting for a shipment of castor oil. Three frustrating days pass before you remember the 25-pound blocks of MP under your kitchen counter.

When you literally dream about making soap nightly!

Or when your husband brings random oils home for you to try in your soap recipes.

Or when you must try every homemade soap on the market because you love soap and think its beautiful, even though you make several pounds a week for fun!

And when you have stress and trouble in other areas in life, you think about making soap when you go to bed. It makes you feel good

Your whole attitude for the week depends largely on the amount of soaps you got done the weekend before. True story.

When you yell and giggle excitedly when you notice a huge tub of soybean oil on sale at walmart....people turned and stared

When you look at every container as a potential soap mould...

When even your darling boyfriend starts looking at things to turn into molds..

Mine says to me yesterday., "what about tp and paper towel tubes"?
I'm thinking it's a good idea to make sample sized round soaps.. Thoughts?

Or when you start rendering your own fats bc the oil costs are sending you to the poorhouse.

Or you have at least 50 tabs open in your browser and they are all soap related

Or when your older teenage son actually raids your soap closet

Or when you start thinking about how great its gonna be when said teen son FINALLY goes off to college so you can turn his room into a soap room..

When you're sitting thinking quietly and one of your family, after watching you for a while asks; "You're thinking about soap, aren't you?" and you have to admit that yes, you were.....again...Then, after laughing about it together, you still try to explain the great idea you were having about a new shelving system for curing...

These are so great! And it's true about the molds. I used to work for contractors and I on the job site I could scavenge all kinds of weird parts and scraps. Lots of PVC tubing, a great plastic thing divided into diamond shapes, not to mention begging the occasional cup of lye. I'd hold up something and ask the boss if he needed it. He'd sigh and roll his eyes and say, "I know, I know. Everything's a mold."

You know your addicted to CP when you dream about winning the lottery because of all the soap equipment and supplies you could buy!

cgawlik · Aug 11, 2014

Or when you dont go to sleep until nearly 5am and back up at it at 9am

When you're looking for houses and one of the requirements is it has to be a 4 bedroom (even though you only have 2 kids) so you can have a soaping room...

when you typed: avocado coffee soap, plus the sentence: and it was delicious!

when you're at the grocery store and olive oil is on sale, and you pick up three 3 liter bottles, and your husband looks at you 3 aisles later, and sees nothing else in the cart but olive oil, and says "Aren't you going to buy any food?"

cgawlik · Aug 11, 2014

Oh when you go to the store for chips and buy pringles bc you need a quick round mold

neeners · Aug 11, 2014

When you can't bring yourself to try other people's soap bc that means you won't have an excuse to make your own!

vuladams · Sep 5, 2014

When formulating new recipes is more exciting than sleep...

When you prep everything the night before so you can make a fresh batch when you wake up (without having to wait for the lye to cool down)...

When you start discriminating soap based on it's superfatting...

When you no longer need to buy air fresheners... because the soap that's curing makes the whole house smell nice.... and friends always compliment how great your house smells every time they come over...

When you redesign your dining room, kitchen, and office to maximize soaping productivity...

When you can no longer eat at your dining room table...
SOAP SOAP EVERYWHERE!
