    Anyone sell an Origins Type - Ginger Candle?

    Since I don't make candles, I'm looking for a spot-on dupe candle to buy for my own use. Anyone have some for sale? :)

    Want to start making CP Soap....Need advice

    Go to millersoap.com and read everything there. Go on YouTube and do a search for how-to videos - that really helped me a lot. I'm more of a visual learner and seeing someone demonstrate the process was the best for me after reading everything I could find.

    okay can anybody spare some of this FO?

    Just as an FYI - I've tried several different Graces from vendors, and they all smell fantastic in CP soap, but over the cure all of them have faded to very little scent. Very disappointing to say the least.

    Before I buy the only over at Sweet Cakes - I thought I'd see if anyone here could recommend a spot-on dupe of Obesssion for Men. Thanks!

    My Soap Business - Can't do it.

    Thank you Carillon and everyone for you support! I really needed to read those posts of encouragement - it's very easy to throw in the towel when you face a road-block. I'm going to take your advice and set up a face-to-face meeting with our town council, and do exactly as you have suggested...

    My Soap Business - Can't do it.

    You know I'm thanking God right now that all the money I put into start-up costs came directly from my own pocket and not a small business loan.

    My Soap Business - Can't do it.

    Thanks Tab - that's my next step in the process. I'm looking into it right now as we speak. How many hoops and how high can I jump to make what will amount to chicken scratch?

    Does anyone Twitter?

    I have one - but I find I'm way too busy to be bothered to type in what I'm doing on a regular basis. And believe me, I'm not that busy. LOL IDK - maybe when I get that computer chip implanted into my brain and I can transmit my thoughts to Twitter automatically I'll actually get use of it.

    My Soap Business - Can't do it.

    Well I've been soaping for about a year and a half now, with the intent to sell soap at a local indoor flea market, online, and a few other opportunities. Just this week I actually registered my business name with the state of New Jersey, and received my tax ID number, so I'm officially a...

    LUSH fresh farmacy cleanser

    Shame they would make soap for acne skin and use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. These companies will never learn, or will they ever really care as long as they get money?

    My stamp from Owasso....

    I've been using a stamp from them for about a year now and never had soap stick to the stamp. I think you're stamping too soon. I don't usually stamp until they're done curing.

    My soap smells...

    Interesting. I had a similar experience with WSP Rainfall EO last weekend. Boy that stuff is strong! My whole house smells like pine - not rainfall at all. I think this batch is going in the dumper unless it mellows out after a few weeks/months.
