I use the same molds for salt bars!

It has been so hot here...I am going to try to make this today. I am super sensitive to baking soda under the pits (can we say fire pits from hell?), so will be subbing the mag powder for the baking soda. Off to (hopefully) fight copious amounts of under boob sweat........

When my husband and I first moved in together, we lived in a very old house. One day, I was in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and I see a baby spider drop down, then another, and another. I look up and start screaming. The ceiling was full of baby spiders dropping down It was like a horror...

I love BB and their shipping is super quick, but sometimes they do not have what I need. It seems as if all the suppliers are on the east coast. I use WSP, but they take a bit to ship sometimes, and then it takes 7 days to get to me. Are there any other suppliers of general soaping/bath and body...

I was going to order from them today, but I went to check out and they wanted $15 to ship 2 lbs :(

I use a canvas bag. I have tried a ziplock and disposables before....my nails always go through them, or they split. I use a bench scraper to scrape out most of the soap and then let it saponify and wash.

I make 4lb recipes. I use 1 gallon bucket (from my coconut oil) or my stainless pot I use for melting oil.

Remind your self...to each their own. I prefer CP...but everyone has their own thing. HP definitely has it's place in an emergency...and has saved my butt a few times.

Welcome! I am the girl side of boy/girl twins :)

Welcome! Practice makes perfect. The more you make the prettier they get.

I decided to try a bar made with sea water. It's fragranced with Mad Oils Snow Witch. The colors are paler than I intended....but still look ok.

You could be like the cool kids and hang it from your truck hitch....LOL

I remade them on Thursday. I popped them in the freezer for 24 hours. I pulled them out yesterday....they started to overheat again! I used the same batter for the top and bottom....the only difference being the addition of cocoa powder the the bottom batter. The bottom seems to be whats...

We have all been there. You can always rebatch it. I made soap cupcakes today...they started out beautiful, until the batter overheated...I feel your heartbreak.

Looking for a true pumpkin pie/pumpkin spice FO. Any recommendations?
