    itchy scalp remedy

    I'm really glad this popped up. I've been chasing a rash that's moved from my eye to my scalp. Did you know you can be allergic to gel nail polish and it manifests as a rash around your eye, not on your hands? Well, I know now. I've tried a couple of things on this scalp rash. Castor oil. I...

    I want glycerin rivers!

    Warmth! My house sits at about 75 degrees F (in the summer!) and I keep getting glycerin rivers, especially in my soaps with titanium dioxide. I also keep getting cracks in the top so you know, it can't be awesome all the time?

    Help! Dead Mouse Smell in Truck

    I wonder if something like Natures Miracle or BioKlean's Bac-out would work. I've used both to get the smell of cat pee out of fabric (and frankly if it can get the smell of cat pee out, it can probably get any smell out!) Bac-out has no scents added.

    Airport Knitting

    EEE I love your card weaving! I've got a number of card weavings going on here. What knitting needles do you use? For me I find I can be more comfortable using circular needles instead of straight needles. Let the weight of the project sit in your lap and have more ability to prop arms.

    Countertop Water Distiller

    Has anyone ever used a steam juicer to distill water? I know you can, and I have one, I just haven't tried it yet.

    Uncolored and Unscented?!?

    Seriously, it's our own, isn't it? My spouse also wanted un colored unscented too. He also once said You know, unscented, like Ivory soap? I straight up bought Ivory soap fragrance and waved that under his nose. In his defense, he was saying more like I've smelled this since I was a kid so it's...

    Spectrum shortening (100% hydrogenated palm oil) - experiences?

    I didn't think Spectrum hydrogenated their oil. I thought that was their thing- non hydrogenated oils. I've used their regular palm oil. It's great- if you can get your hands on it. I feel like the price has spiked recently and none of my usual places carry it. I used it successfully for years...

    Husband just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

    Big hugs to you, my husband was diagnosed about 2 months ago. It's so rough at the beginning trying to figure everything out. It was actually a huge relief for us when he was diagnosed because he was so sick. Does your doctors office offer any diabetes 'classes'? Ours did and it was a huge help.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Today I modified and tested an old favorite recipe- I swaped the palm oil out for tallow. Because I have so much tallow now.

    Co-op supply buying

    Azure standard has drops all over the US now. I was a HUGE fan of Azure for the longest time but they really suffered growing pains during the pandemic and never recovered. I've ordered from Azure in three different states for close to 15 years. I haven't had a complete order in over two years...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I've been rendering and purifying tallow today. I picked up some suet from my local butcher. I'm excited to have some local tallow in my soaps. Remind me to never pick up from the butcher on the weekend again. I live outside a tourist town and the butcher is on the other end of town from me and...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Today I cut into yesterdays soap. I said it before and I'll say it again, love my multi bar cutter! Yesterday's soap was a comedy of errors that ended up having to be hot processed to salvaged. I did a little spoon swirl (inspired by last months challenge!) and I'm surprised with how good it...
