My work friend who ordered from me last year for Valentine's Day soaps wants a largish batch of soaps for xmas gifts. I have a few problems that I need to overcome here. So I am looking for opinions. So she wants 50 bars of soap. I small batch, so making sure I get the colors exactly the same...

Hi all. I am still here. Just haven't made soap in a bit. I decided to stay at my job because they are my friends and I felt like I was abandoning ship when I should be there for them. One said "This place is going to burn to the ground without you". I guess that made me feel good lol. I gave a...

My conundrum of the week... So I been working on my credit really hard over the past I dunno, year or two. I got my credit raised over 200 pts from 450 to now the 600's. It might not be perfect yet, but it is really getting there and keeps going up. I am really proud of myself and can apply...

Every time I break out a new bar of soap I really worry about it. It just doesn't seem to be bubbly, or even nice to use at all. But then the next day and then the following days it just seems to get better. The lather/bubbles are better and it grips better. I am talking in the shower not using...

Been doing some gardening lately i added these seeds to my collection…. Peter peppers. Look em up and tell me whatcha think :)

Just letting you all know I'm alive and well. Work is absolutely insane. I'm not only talking busy insane...which it always is. It's management insane. Constant micromanaging etc. Which they always did to a point, I knew that when I took on the position. But it has gotten so bad. For instance...

I walked into work today. I had a plant pot for my co-worker (we share a love of gardening and it was a nice pot). So my dorky inner-self walked in at 7am and yelled “Happy 4/20! I brought the pot!!” It didn’t stop there, I did it all day to anyone who walked in as I handed them a pot. And if...

Sorry if this has been addressed. I am sure it has, but I started combing through 71 threads on this forum, did a search and combed through 8 from newest to last then oldest to newest LOL. In my defense, I usually get more tired earlier than that because I stink at searches LOL. Anyway...liquid...

So the Florida law has been a thorn in my side. We have only been allowed to make and sell (or even give away) soap. No bath and body products what so ever. @AliOop suggested to me that maybe I write to my governor about getting the law changed. I began the process of taking her advice, but...

Hurts so bad. Dog tripped me

I remember back in the early 80s when i had some teenage acne, my mom bought, i think it was neutrogena, glycerin soap. Out of curiosity just now i looked up some background and a recipe that called for, well…glycerin, and some sort of solvent like alcohol, and hot processing it. I returned...

So I have Plantar Fasciitis. This is new to me and I am quickly finding out that there is really nothing to do about it but foot/leg stretches that don't help, rolling a ball under my foot that doesn't help. I have a friend at work that said she got great shoes from Asics that helped her. I...

Originally I was in love with this fo. It is just too strong. I am not feeling the love these days… I made my latest soap intended for soap curls out of it at half strength, but still so strong to me. So i want to make my main soap batter out of something else. What do you think would pair nice...

They are out of stock. Is there another site that has similar bottles?

GO BIRDS!!

I am researching recipes for making my first lotion bars (I know @Zing you are fainting right now lol). Anyway, I want to add tapioca starch to them. I can find lots of info ABOUT adding it to the recipe, but not how much in proportion to my other ingredients. And another thought that just...

The title might be confusing. What I am asking is that if I am already at 5% superfat in my recipe, will adding the extra oils used to mix micas etc cause too much superfat? The second part to that is if I am over superfatting with the extra oils, am I lowering the bubble factor in my finished...

I was going to make this batch last night, then roped myself into making a batch of stock and canning it. I thought I would be able to do the stock and the soap at the same time, but then couldn't come up with any ideas for swirling. I stink at visualizing what it is going on on the inside and...

I am on my way to the store to buy some lard so that I can make a 7lb batch of soap so that I can try out my new Hercules on a slab batch. Then an oh crap moment, I only have a little of this and a little of that for fragrances, because I normally only make smaller batches. Not a very...

So this little guy popped into my life today… I havent named him yet. Any suggestions??
