I used Bay Rum from Nature's Garden a few years ago. It was Ok, not bad, not great, not a favorite of anybody's. I don't plan to purchase it again.

Congratulations winners!!

Here is my entry for the challenge. This is my first ever soap challenge of any kind and I only made one attempt. For colors I used Nurture Soap's Really Red, Electric Orange Mica, Nocturnal (black), and Yellow Vibrance Mica. The yellow was a last minute decision. For fragrance oil I used...

I thought the same thing about myself when I was pouring mine. Like, why can't I just use the proper tools instead of improvising so much? My life would be so much easier.🤷‍♀️ I guess I just am what I am.

I made my soap today. That did not go according to plan. 🤪 Like others, I wasn't pouring from a large enough spout, and I made a huge mess. There was soap everywhere. To top it off, at least one color was at a thicker trace than it should have been. While I think what I made will come out...

I totally understand. I squandered away my three-day alone time cleaning as well. The house just needed it, and I couldn't bear to do something fun while looking at the mess. I hope your hand is doing well and you've been able to make your soap!

I feel so behind in the game right now. I haven't even watched the tutorial yet. My husband does go out of town soon, and I think I'll have time when I have the entire house to myself!

1. peachymoon - I’ve been wanting to try this! 😄 2. dibbles - I wonder what colors to put in my one pot 🤔 3. AliOop - this one has been on my Try List, too! 4. Tara_H - great excuse to keep trying this! 5. Vicki C - oh this looks like fun... 😬 6. Jersey Girl- Another technique I’ve been wanting...

I used to use cigar bands, but the bands become frustrating as the bars continue their shrinking journey. Currently I wrap my soap with paper. They look nice but it can be a pain to wrap each bar. Does anyone here have a favorite company they purchase their box with window?

I make a tea tree soap and use geranium in the blend. I don't like geranium on its own and am always surprised by how good the two go together.

I just used dmachoice.org to unsubscribe my deceased mother and my hoarding father from junk mail. More people should know about this service.

Welcome!

Oh good! That makes me happy to hear!

Wow, I'm glad the homeopathic medicine is working and no detached retina! Have you been experiencing any headaches due to your dilated pupil? I wish you a speedy and easy recovery!

This looks terrible! Please do make sure you have a follow up with your eye doctor. Eye injuries are no joke. Obviously, you're aware. If it makes you feel any better, a few years ago I stepped on a rake that I knew was there, and it was in my own yard. I did not have as severe of injury as...

I use my heating pad on low. Just place the loafs right on top. I like to wrap the outside of the loaves with a towel. Cardboard cover works, I use poster board or a cutting mat used for sewing as a cover. If my soap is too tall for a flush cover I put an upside down Tupperware container over...

That's a lot of essential oil! I'm glad you like BA so much. I know they have a large customer base because there are always other customers picking up large orders when I'm there. They must be doing something right. I've bought a couple of hundred dollars worth of essential oils from BA and...

I've purchased Dark Patchouli from BA several times and never had a problem. Only purchasing 16oz at a time. That being said, I have posted on the forum asking about hold of patchouli in CP soap because I find mine loses it's scent after a few months. It seemed mine loses scent quicker than...

Ugh, that's hard to say but ultimately I'd go with Wax 1. Wax 2 provides no information about the type of soy they're selling. If you do well with it and decide to continue making candles, you may have an issue finding the same wax somewhere else. Wax 1 is a reputable company and I've...

Thank you!
