Okay today was a really bad soaping day for me. :( I spent 3 hours planning, executing a gorgeous soap for the upcoming holiday with one of my own very special essential oil blends. I poured it into my mold and finished the top, stood back and admired my beautiful soap, imagining what the...

OMG! They look fabulous! I will definitely have to try that recipe. Thanks for posting.

Just beautiful!

Cindy... I am going to take the CP test. I will look for you in the class.

Very nice! Love the swirls.

I do not care for that greasiness in whipped butters. So, this weekend I experimented and I made one where I added tapioca powder. The results were wonderful. My whipped butter is not greasy and easily absorbs into my skin. My family loves it. I will probably play with the amount of...

I am booked! I am all booked and going. I can't wait. I decided to drive. A ten hour trip but I am stopping in Pittsburgh for a night each way and I bringing my mom. Is anyone going to take the certification test? I am taking the class and then going to take the test. Tests always ramp...

I have 146 bars curing at the moment. And about 30+ in molds waiting to be set free tomorrow morning. :)

Awww! Thanks Pepsi Girl.

Hello Everyone, it is so nice to meet you all. This pic is a few years old but the only one I could find. It is my daughter and I. I make a living owning a couple of small restaurants in my area with my partner and husband. The restaurant world is definitely challenging. To relieve some...

Yes, I do agree. It looks fine with rustic bars. But it seems to rob the colorful swirly bars of their vividness. :(

Looks beautiful! I love the soft colors.

The entire process was fascinating and but scary. I researched so much, in the amount of epic proportions according to my husband. So for me it was when I got to test that first batch and how it lathered and bubbled and felt absolutely wonderful on my skin. Just like the ones I have purchased...

Hello Everyone, I am hoping someone can help with Soda Ash. After I mold my soap, I spray with 99% isopropyl alcohol and cover with plastic wrap and bundle in a towel to insulate. I also use distilled water in my recipes. After un-molding, my soaps look beautiful, they pass the zap test...

I am thinking about going this year. I have never been to one before and it would be nice to meet some friends who would understand what I am talking about when I talk soap. LOL Maybe, we could plan something to get to meet one another. It is a far drive for me from PA (9 1/2 hours) so I...

Thanks for the great tutorial. I have mine cooking right now. Fingers crossed.

Thank you so much! That is awesome.

Oh that makes more sense. But how horrible. Why anyone would use a product like that to clean the iced tea urn is beyond me. Been in the Restaurant Biz my entire life - Salt, Lemons and Ice are the way to go with coffee pots and tea urns.

How horrible! I hope she is going to be okay. As an owner of three restaurants, I am wondering why the establishment would even have lye on their premises?
