Hi Nadine, Now your in trouble. before you know it there will be bars of soap curing throughout the house and you won't know what to do. Congrats on your first batch and welcome to soaping...it's addicting. John

http://www.thirtydaychallenge.com/ try it out. If you follow what they say you will see results. A few weeks ago I didn't even rank on google, now I think my site is number 60 for my keyword. In a few months I should be on page one. You have to write a lot. I haven't done that in a while...

I here you on that. I was mainly considering half priced shipping via parcel class for people in zone one...maby zone two.

It's one of the best SEO classes that someone can take and it's free...just Google it and check it out. You will have to write a lot, but you will see results in your web sites rankings

I know that this is an old post, but you should check out the 30 day challenge. My store is not quite open yet, but I am flying through Google's ranks. You do have to do a lot of writing and that has been a bit of a challenge.

I have been struggling with shipping and I'm not sure what I want to try. I have been debating half priced shipping.

I like your site also and I'm jealous...it looks really clean :) We are still working on our site and I hope that it will be 100% soon.

I'll throw in my third born also... :) I had that before when I was in a hurry and didn't clean up as well as I should have. I'll bet that you are right.

I have used red wine also and love it. You have to be careful though, because it can freeze in the middle of pouring...so I don't use 100% wine. John

I was always anal about gelling until I read the book "Smart Soapmaking", by Anne Watson. That has been on my top shelf ever sense. Before buying it I read a lot of negative articles about it because there were not enough pictures...how silly is that?

I will have to second New Directions. They have a good product and awesome customer service ++

Hello, Use a scale not measuring cups...you don't want to risk putting too much lye or not enough oil.

I agree with you 100%. I have done quite a bit of reading on it and I have no fear of my lye bucket blowing up in my face. If it were as bad as some believed you wouldn't be able to buy it so easily. John

Hello, I'm just shooting from the seat of my pants here. I have never had to heat my lye solution in the microwave before and I don't think that I will ever have to. A lot of people think that lye is something a bit more dangerous than it really is. The only reason I wouldn’t want to put it...

Congratulations, I remembered the first time I made soap reading your post. It gets a lot easier. I don't look for trace anymore. We have been watching the temperature and have good results every time. What we do is take the temperature right when the lye is mixed with the oils and keep an...

Hello, I like to add the lye to 1/3 of the milk (chilled) and then add the other 2/3 of the Milk (frozen) to keep the temperature of the lye mixture down, so we don't burn the soap. I don't add the frozen milk all at once. I'll add half and as it melts add the second half. It really isn't as...

Your right...just a little typo, thanks. :D John

All you have to do is find the area out and then multiply it by .4. It doesn't matter is the mold is square, round, or a triangle. Unfortunately I don't remember the formulas for round or triangle, but that is why we have Google right? John

Hola, I don't see the big deal, but if you are very worried just contact the manufacture. That should but any doubt or fears aside. John :D

Hello, good luck. I got lucky, because our formal dining room was never being used and my wife loves making soaps with me. So, I went and made that my nice little soap room. Now our entire bottom floor smells incredible all of the time. John
