I've been looking for a lip balm tub to use at craft shows. One for display purposes. I can't seem to find one I can buy anywhere that's not already full of lip balms. So maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree and I should be looking at a different way of displaying them anyways. How do...

So I was planning out my soap design for tomorrow night, and while checking out the MSDS on one of my favorite FO I came across this (see image and link below). So WTH!?! Is this normal with FO's? I try hard in my life to be as eco-friendly as possible. And TBH I'm a work in progress at best...

I started experimenting with some lip balms this week. Something I've been trying to do for some time. But I think the flavors are a little tart. Do most of you put a sweetener in your balms? Last night I made one with Peppermint EO and one with Island Delight from MMS. I gave away about 24...

I've had some requests for more "masculine" scents. So with Fall quickly approaching, I decided to take a look around. I just can't find anything that really stands out to me. And so much Fall stuff falls into the Pumpkin category. Any suggestions my friends? I'm fine using FO or EO...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to order that from WS I’ve been wanting to try some of their FO's anyway. So far I've only purchased from BB, NG and from a local (hour away) place called Pine Meadows in Provo, Ut. The later had a sent called Sea Salt and Lime that I quite like. But...

I’m looking for a nice FO that is a marine/ocean scent but also a bit woodsie. If I could find one that smelled like driftwood and sea salt that may be perfect. Any suggetions?

I've been doing some research on EO's for a friend that gets terrible migraines. The amount of EO companies out there is astonishing! Does anyone have any suggestions on brands that are reliable and have good quality? For now I'm going to use a blend in an inhaler for her. But it would be...
