Cut pic - Oatmeal Milk & Honey

[melstan775]

mmmm, now I want oatmeal... I might console myself and make some soap instead ;-)

Did you fix your scale?

 

[Badger]

No, I posted that before I found out my scale was dead... I have ordered a new one from WSP. I hope it doesn't take long to get shipped out. Maybe I can make some soap again next weekend if I am lucky. *crosses fingers*

BTW I think I forgot to say thank you for posting that video Shannon. I think I am going to make a cutting guide tomorrow.

Maybe the oatmeal I add is too fine. You can feel it in the bar when it's gotten broken in but it never really has that yummy oaty look like yours. Mine look just like my lavender and goat milk. What's that saying? No curb appeal. :lolno: You'd have to hold an unused bar under the light to see the tiny oat flecks. So I'm doing my next batch differently. I bought some new O MH fragrance and it'll be a good time to give my bars a new look with some oat flakes, too.

OMH one of my all time favs and yours looks great!

You're welcome. I should have another to add to my channel tomorrow with my cupcake debacle lol.

I used my Magic Bullet to chop my oatmeal. It didn't turn to flour but I kinda just pulsed until I didn't see one whole oat piece in there.

I love the scent of OMH... it's so warm and homey. I can't wait to use this soap lol

That's what I did too, to make a batch of "almost colloidal" oatmeal. but I used the food processor. It's almost powdery but still a touch grainy. It's good enough.

Looks so yummy!

I just have a coffee grinder and I think it's too much power. Yep, the only difference in the bars is that the Om & H is tan.

I fully expected these to turn brown with the FO.. I'm surprised it didn't. Maybe because it didn't gel?
