    Old user New Challenges

    I haven't been here for ages. I decided I'll make appx 6 batches again this yr. I have to purchase new supplies, and for the life of me I can NOT remember where I got pko, sweet almond oil, castor, etc. I am thinking with price hikes it'll be pricey (compared to back in 2014-2017). Thx:)
