    peak fo's

    Love the pink sugar!! I soaped with pomace olive oil and it came out kinda tan. I am not sure if it was the fo or the pomace. Probably the fo. But it smells wonderful!!! I used .5 ppo since that is all I had enough for in my 4lb batch. No acceleration either.

    Tussah Silk

    I made my first batch with it last night. It had a really stinky smell when I mixed it with the lye but so far the smell has gone away in my soap. Will let you know when I cut it if the smell is gone. I can't wait to try it!! Pauline www.SapphireSoaps.etsy.com...

    Selling on ETSY

    Tabitha...thanks for responding.. let me understand this..you have a seperate listing for the same soap? I wonder if they have a limit to how many listings you have. I am not sure where you put the hearts or comments, I read about it on the Q&A regarding relisting and renewing the listings...

    Selling on ETSY

    I just listed an item on my Etsy store...I was just wondering Do you list more than one item or how ever many you have in stock? I am trying to keep my costs down right now. Would it be better to list all the items I have available? In my thinking I would just list one and then relist the...

    My nephew owns a coffee shop in our town. He has concerts there once a month. He wants me to help him get a craft/farmers market going. Does anyone know about getting this up and running? Do we have to make sure everyone has insurance? He has liability insurance in case someone falls or...

    LOTS of questions!! (I'm new to this)

    Hi there, About the mold...I started out using a velveeta cheese box. I used 20 oz of oils and ended up cutting the bars 1" thick and I usually get 7 bars. Just the perfect size to practice, its free if you like velveeta. It kinda bows out in the middle when you add the soap. I put it in a...

    Happy Mothers Day!! I made a coffee soap using SS Cuban Coffee Bean, coffee bean butter and fine ground coffee from my nephew's coffee shop. It smells ok but I think next time I am going to add a sweet smell to it like vanilla or a touch of cinnamon, just to cut the harsh smell a little...

    My Scale..

    My Scale..

    I just realized that my digital scale is off. I tried to calibrate it but it is still off. I bought it from Harbor Freight tools. I saw a digital postal scale at Walmart, I wonder if that would be better. Any suggestions? Pauline

    time for a spanking!

    Ahhh yall make me feel much better about the counterful of new supplies I just got in this week including the Peak FO's (I couldn't in my right mind pass that one up).....I would rather buy soap supplies than get groceries. What an addiction! Pauline

    Checking business name availability

    You can go to the Texas Comptrollers Website and do a franchise account search...that would be almost the same as the Secretary of State except with no fee. I think these are incorporated companies. http://ecpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/Index.html Pauline
