    Lavender & Yuzu

    About 20 years ago I made a soap with Lavender & Yuzu. It became my favorite scent. Still love it. I use it 4:1.

    Ima ding dong

    I put my 1/2 moon molds in the oven. It all came out fine, just don't think they even jelled. Not doing that again. Set the oven to 200 (lowest it will go), turned it off and put the soap in and left it over night. The SL helped with the removal, easy really. Didn't even need to freeze it before...

    All I want to do is make soap

    I don't want to cook, do laundry, clean the house. I just want to think about making soap, make soap and look at what others have done, and research more. LOL.

    Paulie's Adventures

    Made last night in my 1/2 moon?, It is rounded on the bottom so it fits nicely in the hand. Scented with BB Southern Peach. After the pour I put it in the oven, turned the oven off, left over night.

    Beef Stew with Root Vegetables

    https://simplebites.net/classic-beef-stew-with-root-vegetables/#more-48132 I made this last night and added 3 parsnips. It was most delicious. Hubby isn't a fan of parsnips or rutabagas. He said he will still eat it though LOL

    Soap is crumbling

    I made soap yesterday, forgot my FO. Anyways, I unmolded it today, was cutting it and it started to fall apart, Ugh. I think I need to stop making soap LOL. Here’s the formula: Weight of oils: 50.50 Faux Sea Water: 11.91 oz Lye: 7.00 oz 5%...

    I “think” I figured out my problem with ZNSC

    ZNSC is now my very favorite soap formula. I have a problem though, I can’t stick blend it (to ensure fragrance oil/batter put aside for a swirl). If I do, I have to plop the batter into the mold. I can only whisk it. It moves so fast for me, even taking out a bit so I can swirl makes me...

    A tip

    I write the formula for the amount of oils used in my batch on the bottom of my mold. I put the whole formula on it - mostly so I don't forget it lol.This is for the old BB 18 bar mold, about 20 years old.

    Forgot my FO!

    Oh Jeez, I forgot to add my Dragon’s Blood FO to my granddaughters soap. Ugh. I’ll just have to make another batch for her. It will now be the regular color with a pink swirl LOL. Oh well, it will still be a nice soap. I’ll just include it in my Christmas presents as a non scented soap. It has...

    Elderberry Syrup Gummies

    I make these for my family. I use organic dried Elderberries, spices, honey and a bit of lemon juice. They are so yummy.

    Peach turned Cinnamon

    Well, I made a 100% Lard, split it, added some orange mica to one half and left the other 1/2 alone. Added my scent (thought I grabbed Southern Peach and actually grabbed Cinnamon Sugar). Also added 1% Sodium Gluconate, and used filtered well water. There goes my pour swirl in my oval mold. Ugh...

    Not enough Lye

    I made some soap and didn't put enough lye in it. It's still good, just softer. Even after years of soapmaking, still I make mistakes. Anyone else do this?

    Ganged Up On!

    So, I started a new job, we were going around the room introducing ourselves and I mentioned I am a soapmaker. Oh my gosh, 5 or 6 people asked it I sell, asked so many questions about scent - that's what they care about, just scent LOL. I stopped talking and just looked at everyone, I was so...

    Camp Fire, Paradise CA

    Hello Fellow Soapers, I am from Paradise CA, and my parents lost our home and my sister lost her home. They are now living in a motel in Chico and have been since November 8th, when our town burnt down. There are so many homeless living in tents, even an 85 year old woman. It's so sad there...
