To be honest I don't think it's ugly - but then I love green! Don't worry yet - maybe it will change colour a bit as it cures?

Whatever the case Maddy, those swirls look awesome! I would definitely buy a soap that looked like that! ;)

Thanks for all this info! Re a good scent to use with beer - I immediately thought ginger essential oil ... but I think a citrus oil would go well too.

I'd love to know too! I haven't purchased anything I haven't used, other than coconut milk powder. I decided against using it in the soap and opted for real coconut milk instead.

Thanks for sharing. Orange vanilla sounds wonderful!

These look fabulous! Very much like banana cake. Yum!

Thanks so much for all your replies! I too love the chunked look. :) The chunks I used were only a week or two old. On reflection I suspect I didn't have enough soap to hold them all in at the edges either. I'll see how they go but the majority appear to be holidng up OK. Thank...

With some of my 'trimmings' from earlier batches I decided to make one of those soap bars with the chunks in them. Well, it was largely successful, and looked fantastic in the mould, and yet when I came to cut it up, some of the chunks came out in some bars. In other bars it wasn't a...

Excuse my ignorance - but what is PPO? Thanks in advance!

That sure is a pretty soap! This softness issue was like my first batch, which was only olive oil and coconut oil. I unmoulded after 2 days instead of 1 and have cut off the edges to rebatch, but the rest of the soap was fine. I was a bit (lot) ignorant when this happened, being my first...

Yep - totally gorgeous! The fragrance sounds yummy too!

I signed too - I had no idea the fees were that high! I've only made four batches so far ... it's just a little hobby for me ... I had thought that it might be cool, when I get a few more, to receive some payment for some via etsy or something - but WOW, what a disincentive!

Congratulations! I've made four batches now (!) and am giving them a LOOOOONG cure before gift-giving later this year. Hopefully I'll get the same result as you!

Well I used my stamps and they worked A TREAT! Will post pics soon.

Hmmm - it looks lighter in the bottles - but what about a colour comparison when you pour it? Also, I understand that avocado oil, like olive oil can be 'virgin', 'cold pressed' or later pressings (which would be lighter). For interest, the olive oil I have is much darker, even though I've...

LMAO!!! Mmmmmm ... burny ...!

Thanks for the advice Kitn! And thanks for the congrats xraygrl!

Fresh air Fresh breeze Sea breeze Ocean whisper ??? Gosh I love naming soaps. :D

I think I like 'Beach dreams' the best. :)

Yes! I am both. :) Your cards look great!
