Made this soap last week and thought I'd try to post a couple pictures. This is my first attempt to add pictures so I hope it works.

These are so neat looking! I haven't made bath bombs yet, but seeing these makes me consider taking a bath instead of a shower. :-)

Ditto on the comments on both soaps! Gives me more ideas on how to use my own trimmings.

This weekend I made your creamy cocoa/Shea GLS - my first ever LS. And it came out wonderfully! I'm very happy you provided such a detailed tutorial. One question- this is the first time I've ever used cocoa butter and the half of the GLS that I left unscented has a very slight cocoa butter...

After months of not seeming to have time to see what's happening in the soapy world I'm taking some time to view some things I've missed. These soaps are so great. My favorite is the soft green and blue!

! That is really neat looking soap!

I was just checking out some soapmaking books that an email from Amazon was promoting today and thought "I need to check SMF to see what they say about these books" and found this new thread! I think I'll save my money and continue to read the forum and watch YouTube!

Tell me about it - my ac also broke this week. Made a couple small batches last weekend and still haven't been able to unmold them yet (individual bar molds). Think putting them in the refrigerator would help?

Are poppy seeds added as an exfoliant? Or are there other benefits?

Thank you all for your input! This will help in knowing what to expect, in general. Does anyone know where I could find a chart that shows which category the different fragrances would belong to (top, middle or base)?

Deanna - thanks for that insight. I have just started with soaping and this is a brand new area of thought for me.

I was watching a Soapmaking101 video the other evening and the lady mentioned 'anchoring her FO' (maybe an EO?) with starch. I think that is all she said - didn't give an amount or other instructions. Does anybody have more to share on this topic? Does it work? How is it done? I'm in the...

Well, I can see there are a lot more videos to watch! Have seen many of Soapmaking101, but am so new to soaping haven't gotten to others yet. Lots more fun to have . . .

Hi A great friend (and current member) started soaping this past year and invited me to join her on a few occasions. What a neat thing to do! It had never occurred to me before to explore this activity, but I'm into it now. After reading and studying many of the techniques and things posted...
