    Bath bomb questions killing me

    So many new people wanna make them. Stop. You think your product is marketable? Not! Please think about shipping. I haven't even got that perfect. In US, who takes a hot bath during summer?I hate to be debbie downer, make sure your bombs can survive shipment.

    Abyssinian kittens, cucumbers

    I haven't been doing anything "soapy" lately. My husband has been gone for a month in Idaho for military training. Like girls, our cat and garden have kept me busy. Our Abyssinian gave birth to five kittens on Sunday. Three ruddy and two red. Growing like fat little ticks. Born weighing...

    Happy Mothers Day

    My Mom gave me one of the best gifts ever today. A bar of my own goats milk soap! Made in 2005, one of my first bars made from my Oberhasli dairy goats. It still looks great despite lousy swirls. Hard as a wedding pecker, hubby says. Smells great still too! I scented it with Stress Relief from...

It was old and dried out, thought I had been taken. Researched and found there is a softening agent and...

    Took the plunge

    Ok. Feel a bit ashamed of myself because 10 years ago, I was a soap snob. I had a herd of goats and made my own CP soap. I thought M&P was cheating.. but I have been making bomb again, had leftover fragrances and ordered M&P bases a few weeks back. I have to say, it has been fun. My husband has...

    Hunny Bombs

    I bought a nice sized honey pot cookie cutter to use for bombs. The problem was, this metal cutter was "spot" or "tack"welded together which made the bomb difficult to unmold. I used Honey Harvest from MMS. I added colloidal oatmeal for part of baking soda. This bombs came out softer due to...

    Any decent places for families to eat out?

    We have been extremely disappointed going out to eat lately. Bad service, long waits, food not cooked properly. We do live in a smaller town, maybe part of the problem. We have two smaller girls and usually an entree is enough for them to spilt. Heck, even hubby I and may spilt an entree...

    Umbrella Bath Bombs

    I painted the embeds with 91% alcohol and powdered lake dyes. Scented with MMS Ocean Rain. Beach bombs, scented with MMS coconut cream. I should've used a darker contrast background. Too light and kind of lost the beach ball. :(
