Not only was the lavender stinky yesterday but today the scent is non existent. The 2 ounces lavender eo I used have nearly completely disappeared. Wow. That was an expensive scent mistake. Now I have soap that smells like soap. I almost preferred the stinky lavender.

Lol... Yuzu! I'll give it a try!

Thanks, Y'all! Those sound like just what I'm looking for. Perfect!

This might sound silly, but I'm not so good at picking out scents. I like fruity/floral smells (like Sweet Pea from Bath and Body, or Sunflower lotion from WalMart) and really don't like musk or herbal smells. I used to really like lavender but just ordered lavender and vanilla essential oil and...

Thanks Tess- that's a brilliant idea! I'm going to give it a go. I'll try the PVC too because I have some loofah that I want to make some bars with. Thanks for sharing a picture too-- that helps a lot. Smart idea! I really liked the Ikea idea too, but the closest Ikea to me is 2 states away...

Thanks everyone. I got some great ideas from you. I will definitely try the Pringles idea as I have a couple of those lying around now! But Tess, I really liked the drain pipe idea. What do you seal the end of it with? Do you have a picture of your mold you could share? The bar is perfect-- I...

Hi there! I am getting ready to make my first batch in about 7 years. I've not got any molds, that's the only thing I'm missing. I'd love to have my hubs make a mold but he's got a lot going on with Spring yard work and such, I don't want to give him more work... I don't like the idea of...

Sweet! Thanks y'all!

Those look delicious!

So pretty!

Hmmm, that link didn't work for me...

I can't really offer any advice as I am new, but I wanted to just comment that I love your avatar! Soooo cute!

One of the reasons I decided to do soap making again is because the kids are in preschool now! So I have all day by myself to make soaps if I want. I figured I should get a few batches in before the new baby gets here!

That's the prettiest soap I've ever seen. Wow! How did you get the soap out of the bundt cake pan? I'm new and have never seen anything like this!

I was curious, I just ordered a bunch of nice oils online and not only did it take a week to get them (I hate waiting) but they were also really expensive. Is there a nice recipe out there that uses oils you can buy reasonably at Wal Mart? Like a Castille Recipe/or another? Thanks Y'all...
