A "blood moon" is a full or near-full moon that is dark red when it rises. It's usually considered a bad omen, an omen of war.

Just so we're clear on something: You're pregnant. He's not. Work it for all it's worth! "Honey, can you mix the lye for me?" "Honey, can you reach that mold for me on the top shelf?" Mix up some lotions and make him massage your feet while you're at it.

Soap make as she is melt :?

Try getting some washing soda (NOT baking soda!) and adding that to your mix. If you have hard water problems you can also add some borax in there.

This was in another post, but I'm too lazy to look it up. There have been problems lately with "mislabeled" olive oils. The problems can be anywhere from labeling an oil as being "from Italy" when actually it's a mix of oils from Spain, Greece, Argentina, etc.; to being a mix of olive and...

M&P? Mint and Peanut cookies? Not my favorite, but to each his own... :roll: :D

Now why in the name of all that is holy, would you take perfectly good chocolate chips and mix them with SOAP, when you could just as easily mix them with some butter, some sugar, a couple of eggs, a little vanilla and a couple of cups of flour, and have something that you can use to fortify...

I'm presently located in the People's Republic of Iowa City.

Sorry, I'm nowhere near DSM; I'm near the People's Republic. I've only tried three scents from Hobby Lobby, 2 FOs and a bottle of tea tree oil. So far no problems. I'm limited to HL now because a) it is literally about 200 meters from where I live, and b) I'm on a VERY limited budget. What...

Was that "local hobby store" Hobby Lobby, by any chance?

If you don't have an aversion to making something out of the scorched flesh of slaughtered animals (flesh! Ummm! <drool>) and price is a concern, try using lard. Inexpensive and readily available next to the butter on your grocer's shelf.

I've been told that if you use the ash from soft woods (pine, cedar, anything with needles) you get soft soap, and if you use ash from hardwoods (oak, apple, anything with leaves) you get hard soap. And I'd be careful with rain water. The first 5-10 minutes of rain are going to be filled with...

Well, for what it's worth, try going to a pawn shop -- they're MUCH less expensive there.

The honey (with the soap) may wash off, but all the water that the honey sucked into your skin will stay there.

Could you use guitar strings (the metal kinds) in these Tanks?

@chris-2010, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you're not working out of your kitchen, right?

Just wanted to boast a little about a soap I made last week, that I call "Butter Bars"! The oils and fats I used (in no particular order): Lard Coconut Oil Castor Oil Soybean Ghee Ghee is shelf-stable butter that's big in Indian cooking. You get it by melting butter and removing all...

I think the reason it's gone out of favor with some is that the price, for some reason, jumped in the last few years, more so than other oils.

Rather than turning into liquid hand soap, do some research on the web on making laundry soap. You'll need to find the right amounts to add, but by adding some washing soda (NOT baking soda), some Borax, and maybe some grated Fels Naptha, then boiling it up, you could have a pretty decent...

Welcome! I hail from a secret bunker near the People's Republic of Iowa City. Well, the pizza delivery guy knows the secret location ... and maybe the cable guy ... but to everyone else, it's a secret. Mostly.
