    Fragrance Buddy Floral scents

    I LOVE Bob's Flower Shop, it's one of my favorites, and florals are usually not part of that list. However, if you'd like a lovely, sweet orange blossom, I highly recommend Citrus Tree. I just made soap with that yesterday. It's strong and it sticks and it's VERY floral. Also, try (don't...

    Syndapour mystery

    OK, thanks. I don't remember it going clear before. Maybe I didn't heat it hot enough before.

    Syndapour mystery

    Hubby loves the Syndapour shampoo bars that I make for him in one of his favorite scents. I noticed today he was almost done with his last one, so I made him some more. So it's Syndapour I've had sitting around for a while. Anyway, this time when I melted it, it went completely clear when it...

    Oh No!

    Have you ever tried Smoldering Cafe Con Chocolate from Scent Memory? I ordered a sample of it, and I liked it enough to order a bottle, and I'm not generally a foodie scents type. This is a deep chocolate coffee with a hint of smoke.

    Rebatching for additives?

    I'm the outlier here. I make my own CP soap now, but for years I bought loaves of premade goatmilk soap from a goat farmer, then shredded it and made rebatch. I liked it much better than M&P back then--the M&P bases weren't nearly as nice as they are now. I still love my rebatch, only now I...

    Labeling Soap Ingredients

    I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in, but in my opinion, you need to list them all. After all, the point of listing the ingredients is so people know what they are getting, and if you're selling, and I get the impression that's what you are asking about, any other labeling could be...

    Cats

    I am not a cat person in general. Hubby rescued this little critter in 2007, before I met him, and was told she was about a year and a half then, which makes her about 17. She's tiny---about 5 pounds, and if there is no fire in the hearth, one of her favorite places to sit is on this non-cat...

    Must have fragrances from Nurture Soaps?

    I've got all of those (I actually have or have had most of Nurture's scents). She discontinued most of my favorites a while back, but what she has is still good. Pay attention to her soap notes. Nightfall is gorgeous, predominantly lavender with vanilla, but it accelerates like crazy. She...

    35, 36, 37... Whew, the things I do to make nice smelling soap

    How do you manage not to go nose blind? I have discovered after I sniff about 4 or 5 FOs, I don't smell them anymore, or they barely smell of anything. Of course, allergy season doesn't help. Neither does snuffling coffee beans.

    Equipment For Sale Mold - just pay for shipping

    Thanks. I didn't think it was wood, but it didn't look like any silicone mold I had seen. :)

    Oh, for crying out loud — 50% off 1oz FOs & 30% off 1oz EOs at CS — where is the face slap emoji?!?

    Thanks for the offer, but the reason it's been in the attic is because it would be such a major effort to sort it out---I've dragged it around with me for the past 25 years--plus there was evidence that a mouse had been in it at one time, so going through bags of yarn skein by skein is not...

    The Great "Lotion" Bar Experiment

    So I tried this today. I just converted the percentages to grams, and used mango butter and meadowfoam oil. Used Jazz Club FO from Scent Memory--a favorite of both hubby and me. Because of the small amount, I ended up with 2.5 bars, which is fine (these are just for me and anyone I might...

    Playing around, need opinions.

    So I got these molds from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWMKXBY6 I think they are really cool, and much to my surprise, when I fill the mold with M&P, it comes out in one piece and is actually workable. Below is an M&P I made to try it out. And of course, I have questions. If I made...

    Oh, for crying out loud — 50% off 1oz FOs & 30% off 1oz EOs at CS — where is the face slap emoji?!?

    Same. I have an attic full of yarn and an office (which I now affectionately call my "soap lab") full of FOs. I need to go through and purge my yarn, but some of it is over 30 years old...... And of course, I still have tons of FOs from when I first started with M&P 15+ years ago. When I...
