    The brambleberry calculator. I know now where I messed up. I was checking the ounce on another recipe and I must have gotten the two mixed up in my head and my notes.

    Maybe it crumbly because I had a lot of air bubbles?

    I took it out to cut it & it is pretty crumbly and breaks we're it cracked. Also it is zappy. I will give it a few more hours then I will finish cutting it. I will probably throw this soap away.

    It's cracking...

    Thank you both. I did take it out of the freezer and cover it with the lid and towel. The crack has closed back now and it is very warm. I only made it 2 or so hours ago.

    I put it in the freezer with lid off. Should I leave it in there uncovered or should I cover it? I want it to reach full gel phase. Soaped at temps... Lye 128 and Oils 120. What should I do? Can I fix this and still get a full gel?

These purity levels are what are commonly available for sale to consumers, including the lye sold at Bramble Berry" >>>>...

    Fragrance oils

    Not at a normal stores mostly but the candle aisle or malls really give me a headache. So many stores like bath and body works and V.S. so close together. We bagged them all and moved them. I think maybe we figured out was making my head hurt so bad. There were two scents that the smelled...

    Little Helper

    Birth and death are natural parts of life, no need to hide it I guess. The child cussing part though I was like woah... No. No. :)

    Post your Gripe

    I have been irritated all week. My breaker box in my house caught on fire. The fire fighters tried to blame me and my cooking skills at first before they found the real problem. We had to stay in a hotel suite which was nice but when we finally got to come home, the landlords son came over and...
