Oh sorry. Thought you said fireflies.. thought that would be crazy fun with cats! Idk if it's just me but never see fireflies anymore. I was amazed by them when I visited west Virginia as a kid. Maybe they only live in cooler climates? My husband and I saw some a few years ago at Biltmore...

Wow! I never have had to worry about coyotes! And sadly, we don't have fireflies in my area but sounds like great fun!

I haven't posted for awhile, been a great summer with my family. Now that girls are back in school, not hot as balls (hate taking baths in summer unless have to shave) I'm going to start making bath bombs again. Anyway, the kittens are about to leave to their new homes around September 25th...

They are better than TV, right? My cats don't get to go outside. When a bug does get inside :headbanging:it's on like Donkey Kong! I love to hear them "chatter" looking out a window at birds/squrriels.

I didn't mean to offend or disrespect. No salts for wary bb. No water for me. No fridge/ freezer/oven. Use polysorbate to disperse oils. Buy molds without seams. Push not twist.

So many new people wanna make them. Stop. You think your product is marketable? Not! Please think about shipping. I haven't even got that perfect. In US, who takes a hot bath during summer?I hate to be debbie downer, make sure your bombs can survive shipment.

That is absolutely absurd. I have a 5 year old, she cannot pour a gallon of milk into her cereal bowl without spilling. You bet your sweet bippie that Grandma would be the first to sue you too if her grandchild was injured in any way!

I don't use any water. I use 90% rubbing alcohol and mist my bath bomb mixture. The best way I can describe my ideal consistency is like fluffy snow. I have read a lot of people say wet sand but way too much moisture imo. You may also be packing bombs too tight. I wouldnt recommend putting them...

Since I posted here, got an itch to make bath bombs again. I kinda quit. I do this one season to another. Holed up in house during cold but my favorite is to be outside. Does anyone else feel seasonal? I caught this crazy fish a few weeks back. Very rare for sandhills of nc.

This has been a "What in the ham sandwich?"week. First, the diagnosis of dog vomit fungus on cukes. The, LilyJo thinking I was scaring the cats with cucumbers. I thought someone was pulling my leg again. But no! Can't believe cucumbers can be so frightening. Thanks for the laugh...

So sorry for the loss of your adorable boy. You can see he was very loved!

You should have gotten a picture of the spider! You saved the males life! Once, sitting out on porch, my husband had me in hysteria. I was laughing with my mouth wide open. A yellow jacket flew into my mouth and I blew it out very quickly. He said I looked like the guy from the Green...

I haven't been doing anything "soapy" lately. My husband has been gone for a month in Idaho for military training. Like girls, our cat and garden have kept me busy. Our Abyssinian gave birth to five kittens on Sunday. Three ruddy and two red. Growing like fat little ticks. Born weighing...

Sorry you found the formula too greasy. I like more "slip" in a balm. I follow the mms guidelines as well. You can always increase the beeswax like both stated above or even increase the amount of cocoa butter. I will need to tweak the recipe for summer, temps have already hit 94 last month!

My Mom gave me one of the best gifts ever today. A bar of my own goats milk soap! Made in 2005, one of my first bars made from my Oberhasli dairy goats. It still looks great despite lousy swirls. Hard as a wedding pecker, hubby says. Smells great still too! I scented it with Stress Relief from...
