http://www.thesoapdish.com/milkpowder.htm I've bought some powders from them and found their prices to be ok. The stuff I got was on sale some time back.

I just bought a silicon mold for $3 at Marshalls and this post was super helpful. It's a 2.3 lb loaf mold.

I do love that you can multi plow and click ahead now!

I used it as well without any issues.

Totally addicted here. Have you tried Farmville too?

I've used it before. I cannot comment on it reacting like honey cause I've never used the sticky stuff in my soap (that's why I bought the powder). My notes indicate to use 2 tablespoons of honey powder per pound of soap.

International shipping is a big pain in the butt on etsy. I wish they would come up with a weight calculator or something better. I refund shipping if I over charge on international. For usa, I ship priority; the flat rate makes it easier. I'll ship first class if the customer asks. Granted...

Wasabi and Green Tea from Brambleberry are pretty manly/gender neutral. The Wasabi is awesome.

I bought some from Brambleberry and I love it. I just ordered WSP's scent this morning along with the Dirt one. I hope the grass one the same. I gave my friend the empty Brambleberry bottle. She keeps sniffing it. lol

Oh fooey. I just bought lye this month from them.

I thought I read somewhere that if you heat up shea butter and then cool it down really quick it avoids the graininess. I did a foot balm a few weeks ago and stuck it in the freezer to harden up. It had shea. I don't feel any graininess to it.

I like AAA as well. Their containers are easy to handle.

It is really easy to get lost on etsy so you need to promote in other ways. I sell yarn and spinning fiber on etsy and do ok. It's been slow but then again everything is right now.

I found my soap didn't get thick until the temps started to go down. It started off like apple sauce and then it got more and more like mash potatoes. Watch your flash points on the FO/EOs. You don't want to burn them off.

I've always wondered what the difference between industrial and food grade lye is.
