    Coconut Meringue Pie

    Approximate measurements, definitely a creamy coconut flavor without being too strong. Next time I think I will go mile high with the Meringue.

    Cheap easy light box instructions

    Saw these instructions for a light box on Facebook and made one in less than 30 minutes. I had everything I needed to make one. A box, 3 pieces of tissue paper, tape, two pieces of white paper and two lamps. If I were going to be serious about it I would use a bigger box, brighter bulbs and set...

    Meadowfoam

    After reading all the wonderful things about Meadowfoam I ordered some and have it now. What I'm wondering is tonight I'm figuring out a facial soap for me (older dry skin) and I can not find much information on Meadowfoam, not even a comedogenic rating. Does anyone have experience with it for a...

    Partial gel?

    From reading I believe this is a partial gel, I've never had one. I soaped a little warmer so I wouldn't have stearic acid spots in my soap, I am trying to get a harder bar. From what I understand the middle stayed warm so it gelled and is going to stay a darker color. Other than soaping a...

    MP tutorials for young beginner?

    I just went through all my supplies and gave away what I don't use or need. Included is a melt and pour box for a young girl about eighth grade. It has everything down to spatulas and apron. I wrote notes on everything, but I'm worried it will be overwhelming for her to sift through information...

    Sweet cakes fragrance oils

    I just opened 3 fragrance oils that I ordered for my use, I was curious. Too pricey for soaps (for me anyway). I don't usually make these kinds of purchases, but I am so glad I did. I figure I can make them last in a spray or butter. Anyway, I ordered Fracas, world's best Egyptian musk and...

    Food adds

    Since most my experience is HP, I've been pretty conservative on adding foods. But now CP is opening up new possibilities. What I am wondering is when you all are adding things like yolks, various juices (freshly juiced Cucumber being the first I want to try) avocado puree (I've done pumpkin and...

    Fragrance buddy

    The last time I visited their site I thought they had a continuous $1 sample sale. Tonight I don't see it, was I wrong and is it an occasional sale? Thanks

    Nag Champa!

    I have a bottle from wsp, I purchased because of the great reviews. Please tell me if it mellows in soap, I can't stand the smell of it. Believe me I enjoyed the 70s and all it had to offer. But, this pungent, smoky, wood burning smell is not something I can imagine washing with. Am I alone on...

    Additives

    I've been making soap for a year now and study or make soap daily. Early on I was adding everything I'd read about, oats, clays, silk and anything else I could. Now it seems I've come full circle, while I still add things to certain soap I find I am paring down and just working on the basics...
