    What to do with unwanted FO?

    I have been using my old ones in my laundry soap. My son loves it! I used blackberry sage last time. I liked it but never sold the first bar.

    Peak - Raspberry truffle

    I have used it as well and got a caramel color. I did half red and used their raspberry FO and did a half and half bar that came out nice.

    Shampoo Bar - Thanks Lindy!!

    I have been using one of my test shampoo bars for a month. I love the softer feel of my hair without the chemical coatings. I have been using Desert Essence conditioner. I switched to a phthalate free conditioner. I keep my hair mid length and cut off about 2 to 3 inches every 6 weeks. I also am...

    The best of the best - Honeysuckle

    I have only used Wild Honeysuckle from WSP. Soaps beautifully no A or D and sticks. I have bars over a year old and they have not faded that I could tell. Love the fragrance. Not sure how close it is to real honeysuckle. It may be worth a try.

    What soapy mistake have you made today?

    I love reading all of your stories! Some had me laughing hysterically. I don't feel so bad about my raw soap stupid moment. The bad thing is I have done it before! I got a round mold from BB. I used it today. I have a habit of tapping to get air bubbles out. I did it as usual, tap, tap, tap, and...

    Label Tutorial - Info Gathering

    I have three different programs one being Printmaster.but I currently use Word for ingredients and Autocad for labels. I can create the darn things but getting those to print correctly is another tale. Lol! If you are willing to teach I will try any free programs.

    Circling Taiwan swirl.. I had to try.

    Love those! Your colors are perfect for the season! I tried that technique as well this weekend! It must be in the air! It was fun. My first go thickened up so eh! So I tried twice again. I am an over circler!

    Red coloring - tough to find!

    American Soap Supply has a fire engine red mica. I use it a lot! No morphing. All of the mica I have tried from there work great.

    Time to make da Halloween soaps!

    When I have been smelling a lot of fragrance my nose gets deadened to the smells. We went on vacation last year and brought one bar with us. After being outside all day in fresh air my nose must have cleared a bit. When we walked in to the motel room the fragrance was overpowering! Even I was...
