THese folk that are all like "Oh man it sucks, I get to light trace and it takes like 15 minutes to thicken up!" im like 'GOD I wish I had your 'problem' :D

Well, I stopped what I thought was 'light trace' to get the scents and colors ready and they were pudding when I was done so I dunno maybe stuff just sets up quick in the mile high..

Finally I feel mentally ready to get back to soaping, just measured out everything and am letting the oils and lye get to RT before starting. Had a request for Patchuli orange and patchuli amber so im making those today never worked with them so RT is always best to make sure I dont get a brick...

Well Just got the word that the husband has been stationed in Japan starting next year, I willbe going with him for ATLEAST part of this time. Does anyone know of any suppliers in that area for my Lye? I would assume most other things would be fairly easy to find (or depending on cost I might...

I eat food I drop on the floor. I brush off what I can see, shrug and eat it. That does not sound relevant. But it is when you think about it. Your body is an amazing thing, provided you didnt live in a plastic bubble all your life, unless its saturated/soaking in filth, the odds of anything...

Oh I agree there are some great schools out there, my last 2 years of school I was in one. And one of my best friends is a teacher who is one of 3 that give me a little hope for the future of schooling. Growing up in small town USA trapped in the 50's for 40 years....you know how that can go.

I am, I am from the US, and we just call them 'Plastic Suergions" and stuff, im from small town upstate, Nip tuck, nose job or boob implant its all the 'same' to us. And thats cool I wish you luck in your education. You could (for example) try to formulate soap that is less hurtful to new...

I am not nit picking Jaccart, I am seriously asking: They have RN's with focuses in the princaples of beauty? Or did you mean anesthetics, the reversable loss of sensation ("Going under") If you ment the first, that will help you in your goal to make products, and if you ment the second, you...

I love teachers. But the school system is a joke. They (The school system, not the teachers) do not encourage they stunt. "BLASPHAMY!" You say? Well examples from schools in NY, Colorado, Florida, california, and Washington: "Your son reads at a sixth grade level, the rest of the class is...

Hey. Fry....what do you think?

Not a problem, I really don't mind. If you guys have any questions or want to know more don't hesitate to post here, and I will either expand on a topic or add a new one if I know. Please keep in mind that at SOME POINT this information might become a bit dated, but I have found that while...

Pound for Pound, I think my soap is cheaper. :) AND Better.

The silver lining is what my jewlery teacher in HS told us: "I am the other jewler in town. I make a quality product, my compatition, has the buisness plan of 'you can swindle everyone once...eventually though they catch on and you lose a customer for life' " ....My jewlery teacher is now the...

I had several requests, so I just made this post for people, it applies to your site too sir/ma'am :) http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?p=443594#post443594

You all share your knowlege with me, so I figured I would try to return the favor. I see lots of people asking for opinions on their website, and have had a couple people poke me in the last couple days about their site, so instead of doing it 10 times and telling people similar things I...

Ever been to a resturant, and the menu was 1000 pages long? Avoid that. I never eat at those places, after I went to culinary school for two years, I learned how to 'trim' find what works, stick with that. Dont forget your lavender :D

I used to build websites. I could give you an honest critique if you like, but, with the caveat, that its my opinon based on the sites I built (and sold for a tidy profit) and my experiance in the field. What that translates to is: I wont hold back, and you won't like it. Because I have to (as...

I have watched ALL th soaping 101 vids (Before I bought my first stuff TO make soap) and by 'bad' I ment 'not what im looking for' the two linked here are good, the first one had found, and the second one is a bit talkie but has some nice form in it :) Thanks guys <3

Where can I find how to do some of these decorative tops or swirls and such. I hunted around in Youtube and its FULL of some seriously bad videos, and also some decent ones but nothing that shows how some nice tops and interesting swirls? I have my size down, and a couple recipes I like, I am...

Trimming the top is not a bad idea. I GENERALLY trim the top of all my soaps and use the slivers as test bars. For myself, or people. :D
