@kazmi Yep. I used a fragrance oil from Brambleberry called Christmas Spice.

Just cut them this morning. I like how they turned out.

Love the color and texture of your soap. Pure and smooth. And the tiles on the wall look cool, too!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Thanks Soapbuddy! I did what you said and here's the final product! [/img]

I mixed until I got a medium to thick trace. I put it in the oven at 170F for two hours. Then I turned off the oven and let it sit in there for another five hours. The suspense was killing me so I took it out to have a look. I see that it looks like it's in gel phase and a bit oily around...

Love that ribbon idea!!

I wanted so much to be able to incorporate the EOs for their medicinal properties, such as tea tree oil, but I didn't love idea of having to sacrifice scent for those benefits. I had always thought that you had to use either or. Not both. Now that you mentioned blending the two (never thought...

Thank you!

Your opinion counts loads!! Thanks for the tip. I'll try your technique and see what happens.

Thanks so much for the info. I'll surely check that out!

I have tea tree oil (ughh!), lavender, patchouli, and a jasmine/sandalwood blend. Come to think of it, the blended one did smell the best of the bunch.

I don't care for essential oils. I would love to keep my soaps "all natural," but I have yet to find an essential oil that doesn't smell like medicine or insecticide. The fragrance oils smell so much yummier to me. Am I missing something?

Isn't he just the greatest?!!

Thanks!
