    Yes, Thank you Ian, but I guess for the amount of money they want, I wanted to know if it also included other things like liquid soap & lotion formulas, besides bar soap. After taking the tutorial, honestly it doesnt really tell me.

    Flax Seed Question

    You can use flax seed for heating pads. Buy some fabric and cut out either square or a shape like a "C" for a neck roll. You pop these in a microwave for 1-2 mins. Flax seed holds the "moist heat" for quite a while. And instead of heating pads, pop them into a freezer for cold packs. Kat
