Hello guys! I'm alive, I am still making soap. Figure I would stop in and say hello.

So, it's been a little while and figured I would post some of the stuff I have ordered or bought! All somehow soap related! (Or the things I plan to get this season!) My soap area is growing rapidly, so I bought a new table! (No pictures of that one though!) I also ordered another scale...

The one I have now makes about 56 oz of soap. I want to find one where I can remove the insides to clean easier. (Not sure what those are called.) Any suggestions would be helpful. Can be a larger crockpot, but not smaller.:p Thanks in advance!

Just got a nice new container of olive oil. Yay! However, what I didn't think about is how I am going to pour out of the container without getting 20 oz all over myself and the table. Does anyone know if there is a 'lip' extension I can use for pouring out of a jug like this? Any ideas? I would...

So, I got my supplies in. (Which you can see in my supplies haul thread! WOOHOO) I immediately went to work on a new recipe. It worked wonderfully. Now it's waiting time. Going to see if it's ready to cut this afternoon. (I made it yesterday.) I didn't add any coloring to see how brownish it...

I am not big on making candles, so I am not sure where to get certain things the cheapest. Figured I would ask. Looking for animal print candle jars. (Less than 2 USD a piece would be preferred.) Thanks for the help in advance.

So, I am finally giving in and going to make a shampoo bar. I want it as a personal bar. I am looking to create one with dandruff fighting ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter. I can't use any citrus as I am allergic. I know both olive oil and castor oil are good for the hair, but not...

I was looking around the internet and could only find partial lists. But I could not find a list with all herbs/plants and the like that can be used in soap. Am I just horrible at googling?:-|

As the title says, I can't seem to find these two very specific soap molds. I know they are sold...SOMEWHERE but where I have no idea. I've seen multiple soapers use the mold. (At least on google) I would like to purchase these two molds in the future. Hope it's okay to post the picture.

So, I know I said it in another thread, but I need to purchase a bulk amount of lye. I am just making sure I am getting the best prices. Right now it's looking like Essential Depot is winning at 33.33 for 32 lbs food grade Sodium Hydroxide lye micro beads 16x2lb bottles. Plus shipping of...

So, I made a batch! It seems to have went well. I didn't know how well the loaf box was made... but it's amazing for the crockpot I have! I took a picture of how it looked RIGHT after we finished it! Sliced up some of the lavender. Figured it would be a bit better in the soap! Oh, and here...

UPDATE ON PAGE 3!!! So, I made my first order to WSP. I was a little upset with how long it took to get here, but otherwise pretty satisfied. So here are images of what I got, along with some other things I got elsewhere.. or just got reticently. Or even made! Yadayada! So the first thing I...

So, I need to get one fast! Does anyone know of a good scale that can be purchased in store rather than ordered offline? I have many many stores in my area. Target Wal-mart K-mart Sears Ollies Big lots Pretty much any store located in PA is located in my area. Any suggestions?

Hey there everyone. I have been trying to make new business cards. But before I actually print them I wanted to know if you can read the sample text? Is it easy to read? If it is hard to read, please help me with suggestions on how to fix it or make it clearer? Thanks in advance for your...

So, I am curious if any other business owners use a POS system. If you do, which one? I've passed up getting a cash register for a New laptop for POS sales. I would like some helpful information from fellow soapers with some insight in the matter.

So, I bought some raw milk from a farmers market. I froze it in hopes of using it in a few days. However it seems to have turned a light honey colour. I am not sure if that is normal or a sign of it going bad. Any input would be much appreciated!

Is it just me? I usually buy my large orders on the weekends. All the sales are during the week. I seem to miss all of them. Oh woe it me! (lol) So how about you guys?

So, some awesome stuff I found at the organic grocer down the street. I found a wall of herbs, most of which are awesome additives to soap. (Sorry for the blurryness, was taken on my gs3) Closer look at the one I had to do a double take on. Also, here is the soap I made the other day with...

So, I figured I would post a little about the project I have been doing as of late. Other than trying out new soap recipes that is! Well, it's crocheting. I am not very good at it, though I have been trying to teach myself for about a year. Here is my box of finished and unfinished white...
