I was going to add a few reviews of Nurture soap fragrances in the fragrance chart, but just discovered to my horror, that once again one of my favourite fragrances from Nurture Soap has been discontinued. The victim this time is Fresh Pear (amongst many others) that got the boot. I adore that...

Here is my single bars, fragranced with Natures Garden Fresh Cut roses. I made 12 of them, but 6 in the picture looked neater. I left one part of the batter uncolored and the other one I colored with Nurtures Really Red mica, (but used in moderation) to achieve a softer pink and not red, as I...

Here are some fizzies I made june 2. Used a mooncake mold. Never used one before, but after trying it, it won`t be my last batch with this mold. SO easy to make fizzies with, pops right out. I have one more on the way, square ones, so will add those too when I get them in the mail...

In Norway the Essential Oil Safety book of Mr. Robert Tisserand is quite expensive. I assume it is everywhere else too, but it is completely understandable, it is a book filled with liquid gold for anyone who use essential oils, and want to know what they are all about. I certainly do! I...

Perhaps something in the line of this - Lyles Golden Syrup? I know what to expect when using regular honey, Maple Syrup, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar from beets. I do not really think this will be much different, but it is something I was curious about. It says it is partially...

Hi and hello again gang, long time no chat - For those of you who have been exposed to my ramblings before I just wanted to pop in and say hi! And if you are new here - hello there! Looking forward to see newbies as well old timers around here. It has been some rough months filled with...

Updated info - Maximum of Cocoabutter in CP? I am sorry to bother you fine folk`s, but I found it safer to start a new thread instead of resurrecting old threads and quoting old posts. I have searched the forum, and read many posts that said some of you like to use a lot of cocoabutter in your...

I decided to start a new thread with my question, because the one I found from June didn`t exactly cover what I was wondering about. That thread can be found here. What I wondered about today was what you long term soapers experience is on this topic I posted. I have of course read a lot about...

Sometimes I feel getting fantastic fragrances is like the lottery. I have to rely on description, reviews and sometimes just dumb luck to be able to get any fragrance oils that I love. Testerbottles are out of the question because shipping to Norway is so insane, that it is better for me...

This will be perhaps a bit of a long read, and I understand if you can`t be bothered. But I just want to give you the background of why I felt so happy about this experience! And please understand, this is not a post to pat myself on the back, but I really wanted to add to what the above title...

I am kinda proud and impressed over myself here actually. Proud and impressed over the fact that I managed to NOT eat all the candy hearts before I added them to the fizzies! They are just so delishious. You know, like fizzies for your mouth instead of your feet...? Anyway, here is per...

I am sorry to bother you good people, but I have for months now been searching in stores for this KOH - so I could try my hand at liquid soapmaking in adition to the bars. Now I am confused about what is in Norway considered to be the stuff that you call KOH. The people who sell me the...

Have anyone of you perhaps tried to make one before? I tried to find something from the forum using my google-Fu, but nothing really turned up that I felt I could use. (I apologize if I have overlooked something very obvious!) --- What I was thinking of was a card or piece of paper with squares...

Sorry if this gets long, but I am elated! After testing avocado oil in several of my soapbatches now, I am hereby officially declaring this oil pure awesomeness in my soapy stash. I made a thread earlier (here) but wanted to make a separate thread since that one asked for recipe feedback...

So I purchased a fragrance that is supposedly doubling as fragrance to be used in soap, but also candles. The company has a 100% positive feedback, are in the UK and have a wide variety of fragrances. But upon receiving my purchase today, it had no label on the bottle, or no info about the...

Oh dear... This is the soap I stickblended way too much, and got that lovely puddin` I talked about in the soapymistakes thread. Here is the result, and what I notice in the pictures, is that this soap looks like is is made out of green layered glop and salami. Perhaps a meatball or two thrown...

I live in Europe, and more specifically Norway. The land of the midnight sun and fjords. Yes, it is great to live here, no complaints, I am lucky. But one thing Norway does NOT have, and that is supplyers for fragrance oils and soapy supplies. Sure, sure, you can get a fragrance oil here, at a...

I purchased these stamps from a seller on Etsy, they are fair trade and 100% handmade, from India. Made out of carved wood (handle) and metal stamp, these are really solid and great. The flower one is for lipbalm labels I want to make. I got them because I have been soaping non stop for almost...

The only experience I have with Avocado oil in soap was using a coupple of tablespoons of leftover oil I had, and this was in the beginning of my soapy adventure. I use it a lot in my rubs and lipbalms, it is my #1 favourite oil. I still have 1 whole bar + trimmings left from that early batch...

Just some soapy humor with memes. Cause, you know, I just had to get some out of my system...:mrgreen: Please add your own, or other funny soap related things! Here is a MEME I made to start us up:
