I LOVE Bob's Flower Shop, it's one of my favorites, and florals are usually not part of that list. However, if you'd like a lovely, sweet orange blossom, I highly recommend Citrus Tree. I just made soap with that yesterday. It's strong and it sticks and it's VERY floral. Also, try (don't...

OK, thanks. I don't remember it going clear before. Maybe I didn't heat it hot enough before.

Hubby loves the Syndapour shampoo bars that I make for him in one of his favorite scents. I noticed today he was almost done with his last one, so I made him some more. So it's Syndapour I've had sitting around for a while. Anyway, this time when I melted it, it went completely clear when it...

Have you ever tried Smoldering Cafe Con Chocolate from Scent Memory? I ordered a sample of it, and I liked it enough to order a bottle, and I'm not generally a foodie scents type. This is a deep chocolate coffee with a hint of smoke.

I'm the outlier here. I make my own CP soap now, but for years I bought loaves of premade goatmilk soap from a goat farmer, then shredded it and made rebatch. I liked it much better than M&P back then--the M&P bases weren't nearly as nice as they are now. I still love my rebatch, only now I...

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in, but in my opinion, you need to list them all. After all, the point of listing the ingredients is so people know what they are getting, and if you're selling, and I get the impression that's what you are asking about, any other labeling could be...

I am not a cat person in general. Hubby rescued this little critter in 2007, before I met him, and was told she was about a year and a half then, which makes her about 17. She's tiny---about 5 pounds, and if there is no fire in the hearth, one of her favorite places to sit is on this non-cat...

I've got all of those (I actually have or have had most of Nurture's scents). She discontinued most of my favorites a while back, but what she has is still good. Pay attention to her soap notes. Nightfall is gorgeous, predominantly lavender with vanilla, but it accelerates like crazy. She...

How do you manage not to go nose blind? I have discovered after I sniff about 4 or 5 FOs, I don't smell them anymore, or they barely smell of anything. Of course, allergy season doesn't help. Neither does snuffling coffee beans.

Thanks. I didn't think it was wood, but it didn't look like any silicone mold I had seen. :)

What's it made of? Sorry if I sound clueless, but I am.....

Nurture, Fragrance Buddy, Scent Memory (Nurture is the only one of those three that sell EOs)

If you're going to spend money on a beveler, an number of us have this one: Soap Router Edge Cutting Tool | My Site It's really an amazing tool, and does some really nice edges.

Thanks for the offer, but the reason it's been in the attic is because it would be such a major effort to sort it out---I've dragged it around with me for the past 25 years--plus there was evidence that a mouse had been in it at one time, so going through bags of yarn skein by skein is not...

From where? - oh never mind. Senior moment.
