I have a friend that works at a women's shelter in another state, and they would truly appreciate handmade soap. Then I saw a YouTube video this morning about a group that was putting together Mother's Day packages for the kids to give to their moms, and they were truly in need and were giving...

I hope everyone has a safe, healthy, and blessed Sunday.

Has anyone besides me seen the Dr. Squatch commercials on YouTube? I think whoever came up with that ad campaign was brilliant.

So new that I have not made one yet. My first question is this: How do I find out what size/type of wick to use in what size/type of candle. Since each manufacturer has their own names for theirs, how do I locate this information? I have haunted several websites, and have yet to find that...

If you use cutting mats from the Dollar Tree as liners for wooden molds, do you cut each side separately rather than folding, and what kind of tape do you use to secure the pieces together? I tried searching this, but could not remember enough context to find it.

I just noticed that my to-go box from Olive Garden is a #5 plastic. Those would make good test batch sizes, and you could dispose of them afterward.

Thank you, moms, for all you do!

Closing on April 20 if all goes according to plan. I am so excited to be able to have garden space and make soap again!

I am praying that all of you and yours have a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and healthy New Year!

Just letting y'all know. I can't figure out how to post a link to it.

OK, my first EDTA (0.5%) batches are now six weeks old. The lather is glorious, but I still feel like I have soap scum on my skin. What gives? My first thought was to increase the superfat, but then I realized that more superfat may lead to more soap scum feel. Am I on the right track...

I finally got my EDTA in, so I HAD to make soap. Bear in mind that I have not made soap in 3 months, and never in the apartment. My NaOH masterbatch was brown. I did not use it. I made fresh NaOH/water for both batches, then had to wait for it to cool down. Then I did every other prep I...

So, I recently moved to Hard Water Land (AKA Dallas/Fort Worth metro area), and all of my soaps, including three pounds of liquid soap paste, are made without a chelator. I read DeeAnna's excellent instructions on using EDTA for bar soap, and plan to use them, but I also need to make liquid...

To those who celebrate Easter, Happy Easter!

I just read an article linking not liking cilantro to the smell of jasmine. This explains everything! It is not actually this article, but the search for more info led me to this: http://smellslikescience.com/in-defense-of-cilantro/ “…The three compounds shown here belong to a class of...

I want a good, true, rich coffee scent that sticks. If at all possible, I want it to smell like dark roast coffee. Also, a good chocolate FO. I have been sorely disappointed by the chocolate FO from WSP. It lacks that sharp edge (bitter, maybe?) that good chocolate has.

Apparently there are no stores in my town that sell freezer paper. If you order it, where from? Do I want the plastic coated paper, or the regular?
