    An Amazing Acrylic Soap Beveler

    When I try to bevel, it looks like the handiwork of a homicidal maniac 😅 Congrats on your new toy, and so please share a review! Edit: Came back after looking at her photos…. WOW yeah I think it’s going to be worth the cost if it does what the pictures show! Amazing!

    Best eucalyptus mint FO?

    I really like Eucalyptus & Spearmint from North Wood Candle Supply. It’s more of a green scent than an herbal one. Spa-like.

    Nobody wants to try shampoo bars unless they're free...

    Interesting. I have hair that’s the length of my shoulder blades. It’s thick and wavy. I haven’t had issues with shampoo bars yet. What I was having issues with was a salon brand that went “mainstream”, and that now causes a reaction in my scalp. It also made a lot of my hair fall out. So I gave...

    Looking For A Realistic, Beautiful Jasmine Fragrance

    Came back to mention I just got Honeysuckle & Jasmine from The Flaming Candle and I love it. It’s equal parts of both as far as how I smell it. I know you probably are looking for the single note jasmine but figured I’d share. =)

    RIP Green Fig from Brambleberry :(

    You might want to check out Wholesale Supplies Plus, because they have several oak moss varieties. The one that is Sandalwood and Oak Moss mix has particularly great reviews. I plan on trying that out along with their single-note Oak Moss.

    Looking For A Realistic, Beautiful Jasmine Fragrance

    Funny I have just been researching jasmine, and there are 2 or 3 different varieties. Bulk Apothecary sells the Grandiflorum (Spanish) and the Sambac (Arabian). The Sambac is usually what I like best, because it has a small musky note to it that tames the floral. But I recommend getting...

    FO Winners & Losers

    Thank you so much for this list! I am intrigued with the Wild Currant Sandalwood and the Pink Sugar! I’ve officially dove into wax melts recently. Northwood Candle Supply sent a Glazed Donut wax melt free with an order and I am obsessed and had to buy a bottle. I would have never thought it...

    Gross Chai Brick :D

    Thank you for the kind words! I guess what doesn’t help is that I, myself, do not like the drink, so I guess it makes sense I’m not going to like the FO. I also live in a 600 sq ft apt that doesn’t have the greatest ventilation. Something to keep in mind for my next loaf batches, I guess lol

    Looking for a great Freesia FO

    That is vexing :( I also love Lily of the Valley, and would be sad if I couldn’t get it.

    Looking for a great Freesia FO

    Yeah I had a very similar experience, tried calling, no answer. I think whatever developer works on their site doesn’t know what they are doing, tbh. Also, the order before last for me was a hot mess of leaked oils AND micas. I emailed them with pictures and said look, I know y’all...

    Looking for a great Freesia FO

    Oh no! I didn’t know certain FO’s were banned in some countries! I know some makeup isn’t available because of the way they are tested or not tested.

    Looking for a great Freesia FO

    UPDATE: BB said their PayPal and Applepay buttons aren’t working, that you have to click on “Secure Checkout” then click those buttons in there. I was finally able to purchase.

    Looking for a great Freesia FO

    I am using my phone. The site works fine for me too, but if I try to purchase, I get an error message. I had to order a freesia elsewhere.

    Feeling discouraged about fragrance oils

    I’m with you on the headache/ nausea front with fragrance oils and being new to soaping. I didn’t think I would have a problem until I used my 10”’loaf mold with an FO I wasn’t crazy about…. I was really feeling green around the gills for days. 🤢 So much that it took me a week to start washing...

    Looking for a great Freesia FO

    Hello All! Not sure what’s going on with BB’s website, but I’ve been trying to place an order for the last few days, but I get a generic error message. No reply to email or calls. I’ve purchased other things on other websites so…. They might be having system issues all around. I am looking for...
