No they haven't communicated at all. Even though they sent me a receipt and an emailed thank you note, they never drew out any money. I hate that they weren't able to stay in business. I know she made at least one attempt to start up again. I had to stop myself from speculating and just move on...

Thanks dibbles...I think I love Jasmine...I'm not sure anymore! Over the years I've had several...they always either fade or morph or just smell awful. I've been wanting to try Grim Reaper for a long time. And since I was there... the perfect opportunity!

Thank you cmzaha! I appreciate the recommendation. I haven't made the blend yet so I'm still collecting the best ocean scents that I can find. I made a blend because I couldn't find a single perfect scent. They always seem to be missing something. I miss the smell of the ocean...well in my case...

Thank you dibbles! I ordered Ocean from Keystone and I agree it's pretty close to my nose. I had planned on adding it to a blend so I'm hoping it will be just what I'm looking for! I did order Ocean & 8th from Nuture and while I was there, I finally ordered Grim Reaper...I've wanted to give it a...

Thank you dibbles! the description is "This is a nice strong salty scent with hints of fresh air and sea grass" sounds like it might be very close...including the bad behavior!

Thank you cerelife. I have ordered both 8th and Ocean and Peak's Ocean to add to my beach FOs. I've waited so long to try to find a good replacement for Salty Sailor because I thought it would probably be difficult. I keep hoping that if I have every beach scent there is...I might blend a...

Thank you Ochre+Co. I'm so glad to hear that! I'm so tempted to try it but in something other than soap.

Thank you! I didn't think anyone made one that was well behaved!

Thank you Carly! Did you like the way Beach Walk smells? I saw it was a beast to work with. Seems like all beach scents are.

Thanks, I appreciate your checking her out. Looks like she hasn't posted on her FB page since 2015. I have called the cell she listed and left a message, today her phone said her message box was full. I had texted her at that number as well but so far no response. Oh well, I think I'm going to...

I guess I was wrong about Daystar being open again. When I placed my order I received a emailed receipt and thank you so I was hoping. But, that was two days ago and they never took my payment...and I can't reach them. So I give up! Does anyone have a recommendation for a good replacement for...

Hi everyone...I was able to order from Daystar today and I was wondering if anyone else had recently placed an order. Stacy seems to be open for business and her site worked well. I used to make a Beach blend that contains some of her Salty Sailor and Paradise so I gave it a try. I've been...

My favorite is Da Lime in Da Coconut from Rustic. It's really nice. Even though the name includes lime, if you want lime you're going to have to add it because it's barely there. But the coconut is strong, blends well and sticks. It will slightly discolor to a light beige.

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I wanted to know! I’ve been fighting a losing battle with partial gel forever and never realized that what I was doing could never solve the problem...no matter how fast I got in the freezer :)... I was thinking about it all wrong! I get it now! I can...

Hi lucycat...I know this is an old post, I hope you don't mind my question. I have always made milk soap and I have never gelled it. I get my soap into the freezer within about 2 to 5 minutes after I get into the mold. I leave it in the freezer for 2 hours and then put it into the refrigerator...
