Made these cute horsey bath bombs today. Followed that up with a 50 gram bar of DIY B&B hot pour shampoo. Thank you to all the folks who helped with specific instructions on melting the SCI. That helped a lot!

Thank you!

That’s great! Where did you get them?

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the length of the pipette or the rubber getting eaten away. Rubber bands it is.

My inspiration this month was a combination of a Bundt cake and a swirl cake. The last picture is my inspiration. I used three colors, 40% natural, 50% cocoa powder and 10% a blend of sparkle gold mica mixed with bronze brown. Fragrance is BB Dark Chocolate mixed with Mocha from a local...

Thank you for sharing this! I love the idea of using little tubes for preparing the fragrance. Great idea with banding the pipettes to the fragrance bottle. I love using pipettes but hate the plastic waste too. I think I have some glass pipettes with rubber tops that I might be able to wash. 🤔

Yeah, yeah, that’s what it is. 😂😂😂😉😉😉

Just something to think about- I am a casual maker and average less than one batch of 8 bars a week. Getting a multi bar cutter was a game changer. I REALLY didn’t want to spend the money for a good one but it has been totally worth it. Initially I used a miter box with a cutter or a knife...

Interesting. I have a lot to learn about herbs. 🪴

@cmzaha that’s super cool! I have already asked hubby to save a bottle. @not_ally if she’s not a diaper she should be!

I was also going to mention comfrey. I picked up a tin of Herb Farm Original Salve at a local health food store a few months back and have used it on a couple cuts. It seems to work very well. It has a base of olive oil, beeswax, benzoin and rosemary, with comfrey, St Johns wort, calendula...

My shampoo bar creation didn’t go as planned. I started phase one and went in search of my PH meter. Found it and attempted to calibrate it. It wasn’t calibrating so I looked closer and the bulb that covers the electrode was broken and there was a lot of schmutz at the base which is impossible...

So sorry to hear this. ((Hugs))

Yes! My current bar, which I have been using a little over a week, has no BTMS, oils, Stearic acid, etc. This is the same recipe I had been using but I removed the 3% BTMS and added a little rosehip and rosemary powders and SCI to bring the amount up to 100%. Usually my hair is already getting...
