    Hmmm, 20 pounds. I'm pretty sure this is going to require me to do horrid things like eat better and exercise, things I avoid at all costs.....but what the hey, I've been meaning to lose some weight anyway ! I'm game :)

    Cream Soap keeps falling :(

    I was trying my hand at making a cream soap, but I whip it and the next day it's like a thick liquid again. I admit I omitted the called for glycerine because I have none on hand atm, is this a absolutely necessary ingredient ? Could that be the reason my cream keeps falling ?

    Do you guys do this?

    Thanks LJA ! Hubby was reading over my shoulder and saw that ! He now wants to install a "pole", and limit my soaping to one day every 2 weeks so I have more time for the "pole" ! :shock:

    Fav alcohol bev

    Just a beer please - Yuengling Lager or if I'm feeling real adventurous I might drink a Black & Tan. Occasionally hubby and I will get a nice bottle of wine, but for the most part we love our beer. :D

    Anybody making soap this weekend , whatcha making?

    So far this morning I've done Vanilla Blossom - was supposed to be an awesome black and white swirl, but well the FO misbehaved and instead I think I have something closer to dalmation soap. I scented the black and it seized up, so it's in globs in amongst the white :oops: Crazy For...

    so....how DID you get your business going....

    Farmer's Markets and craft fairs for sure I also printed up catalogs and started handing them out to people I knew. Print business cards with your website on them and hand them out to everyone and their dog, find local businesses that will let you place the cards in their store/shop. (...

    Good & Bad

    BAHAHAHA ! Yanno, if you substitute dog for "teenage boy" it'd be my house :D I wonder, if I send them out for a walk can I get animal control to pick them up and keep them for an afternoon ? :lol: You're luck is a changin' Deda, I too think you should buy a lottery ticket LOL

    Soap not lasting

    You can add salt or sodium lactate to your recipe to make it harder. You can also try adjusting your recipe a bit to up the hardness. What's the recipe you're using now ?

    Abysmal show....

    I had a horrible weekend as well. The market I do on Saturday's is usually decent, but this weekend was bad, way bad, so bad I lost money by the end of the day :( But when things like that happen I just remind myself that the opportunity to have the products seen, the chance to handout...

    discount question

    I think it depends on your oils you're using. I have a couple recipes that I discount between 10 and 15 %, but usually I stick to around 6 or 7. Can't really say if 10% is too high without knowing your recipe :)

    Hardness Issues

    Oh yeah, I try all mine out, I think they last just fine for me, but I'm always looking to make them harder and longer lasting. We have 7 people in the house and this one bar I did in a men's scent is used by 5 of the 7 folks and it's been in the shower about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks so I know they...
