    Stick Blender Issues

    You're welcome! I've been busy for the holidays and this thread popped up in my... email? Our shame is eternal. Embrace it 🤣

    Looking for help with my next soap making venture - foaming soap!

    Welcome! There's a lot more CP soapers than MP, but I still learned a ton from the MP forums. Foaming soaps sound awesome, and I love Humbelebee!

    Stick Blender Issues

    Omg you can?? Embarrassing! I've been using mine for like 2 years and had no idea! I bought mine on Amazon as an Amazon refurbished. I think it was like $25. Came with the box and the cup and everything, along with a 90 day warranty and is still going strong. And now I'm just going to...

    Lowest Cost Bulk Melt and Pour

    I've bought from Aztec. I really like their clear MPs (tried clear, "natural" clear, Hemp, and honey). For white MP I use goats milk usually, and I had big issues with their "natural" GM mp. You can read the super long post on my profile if you'd like. They did send me out a full replacement...

    Whipped Surfactant Soap

    I'd love to see the recipe if you can find it. I rarely use Instagram, but the blog has been very helpful, and even clearer up some confusion we had here in this post.

    Thoughts on making shower steamers

    Mine is similar as well, except I use kaolin clay after a lot of experimentation. The menthol crystals are pricey, but a 1lb bag makes a lot of steamers. I bought my last order of crystals from Natural Bulk Supplies which I've found to be cheaper than most other places, unless you're buying a...

    First secret swirl attempt, and some others.

    A lazy reverse, SS. I was so into making this, I forgot to put dividers in. I was going for a Christmas tree since this was a pine scent, but it's still pretty cute considering. The second one is... a hot mess. I wanted tot ry a wood grain pattern with a line pour, but since I live dangerously...

    Lard on Sale at Walmart

    I saw this screen, and added it to my cart for shipping with no issue. When I went to pay, it was removed from my cart as unavailable. This happened a few weeks ago with this same item. At one point, they listed a 50lb bucket for $35, but when I went to cash out the price changed to like $140...

    Granular vs Powdered Citric Acid

    It's unfortunate sellers and manufacturers can't simply be honest about their products sometimes. In this situation, a clearly defined particle/micron size, or even just an accurate listing, would've saved me (and maybe you, from the sounds of it), time and a decent amount of money. The smallest...

    Granular vs Powdered Citric Acid

    So I've been messing around with my fizzy recipes a lot, after a long, sad search of not finding Ball Citric acid in bulk, or at least under $1 per oz. Until it's available again, I need to reformulate or give up. I'm stubborn, so here we are. I used my Amazon credit to order Spicy World Fine...

    Whipped Surfactant Soap

    So true! We both learned something new! That's why I enjoy this forum. Thanks @AliOop I'll post back once I try it out. Hopefully in the next month or so. I have to pick up a preservative too, actually. I was thinking germall or optiphen plus, but I need to brush up on my preservatives.

    Whipped Surfactant Soap

    Omg, very much the same! I think I tweaked a bit of the wet ingredients, but that's it exactly! Theyre both wonderful. I omit oils and P80 in steamers, which I think I read here somewhere. You had me super curious, so thanks for a new rabbit hole! You're definitely right too, Dora linked the...

    Whipped Surfactant Soap

    Its great to hear from someone that's tried it, or something similar, and love hearing your input! I love Creative Bath Lab for bath bombs and bath stuff. Dora and Dean Wilson were my starting point for making bath bombs and steamers, and after some trial and error I'm pretty happy with it. I...

    Storing soap after cure

    It is definitely important, and probably not something I'd do if it wasn't for the hair. Probably hard to tell from the photo, but the baskets and cheesecloth have roughly 1/2 inch openings, so there's still a good amount of air getting through, and I usually have a fan or two running. They...
