    I need to vent. Lost 5.5kg of oils today

    That is super crappy! (((HUGS))). I Hope we can all take this as a learning lesson to double check labels when receiving shipments since errors do occur. Also hope you get refunded!!!

    Muslin Bags

    I actually do have a sewing machine! Maybe I will try this if I have extra time. I could see making the draw string part driving my nuts though especially if I needed to make a lot.

    Thanks for all the advice =) So I cut my bars today I had a few air bubbles in the soap so I will have to mix it more carefully & it gelled in the middle only I wasn't aiming for gelling or not gelling but I think I've decided from now on to not gel my soap. So next time I will put it in the...

    Thanks LunaSkye! I like that yogurt container idea actually. DoryMae, Definitely not insulted. I kinda figured it was going to be a softer soap. Good thing you mentioned because I probably would have tried to take it out of the mold in 2 days. Now I will wait 4 days or longer? Maybe I should...
