Yes Yes...It's the glue smell... Yes! you nailed it. It's definitely the glue scent I'm smelling. Yeah! Not looking it. I guess we all have that one thing we can't take and mine is Frankincense. Maybe one day it will grow on me. Who knows.

Mmmmm...Yeah! That's what I thought. I don't believe coffee grounds will add scent to the soap. So It must be just the Frankincense I'm not agreeing with. I'm honestly not sensitive to smell, so that's why I find it odd that I'm sensitive to Frankincense. So I guess I've found a scent that I...

I will definitely do that. Give it some time. Keeping my fingers crossed on this. I used Frankincense essential oil. I'm embarrassed to say, but I also used coffee beans for exfoliation purposes. However, it smelt fine when I was making it. But after 24-48 hours, the scent changed to this smell...

Yeah! I'm trying everything to get used to the scent, but the gagging continues. I'll give this soap to anyone that likes it at the farmers market. Ugh. I just can't take the scent at all.

So I made this soap and I don’t know if I really like the scent of it. As a matter fact, it makes me gag Just thinking about it. We used an ingredient that calls for frankincense essential oil. However, I also used coffee grounds as an exfoliation factor for the Soap. I had friends and...

Thank you :)

Oh Wow... Mmmm. It's just that I've been doing the same thing for years with no problem. Could it be the honey? This is the second time I'm using it. I didn't have a problem with it the first time, and the soap I made the first time was white. Still scratching my head with this one.

Hello!!! I opened my soap mold cover to take it out of the mold (24hours) and found something to my very surprise. I'm not understanding what is happening here. I'm wondering with these brown spots are. I use this ingredient ALL THE TIME and I just don't know what these spots are. I can't...

So day 2 went well and I must say that it took me two days to recuperate. I was invited to do another sale but I'm a bit worn-out from pure nerves. I may have to take a break... LOL. However, I should probably do the sale event being that it will give me more practice for sure. However, I'm a...

OMG...the day (yesterday) ended great. I was so tired from (talking to people). The more I did it, the less nervous I got though. It all went well. It really did. I'm on day 2 now. It's raining and I'm hoping not a lot of people will show up. Still nervous that's why LOL. But I know now that I...

Going well! I was and still am very nervous even when there’s nothing to be worried about. I think I just need more practice talking to people. I’ve been using the 10/5 rule a lot today and it seems to be going very well. 2.5 hours to go today. I can do this. 👍

Thank you so much for this advise. What I failed to say in my post was that the Spring Fling starts tomorrow and before I wrote the post, I was actually thinking of cancelling. (vendor withdrawal). However, the words of encouragements here made me second guess that. I just confirmed my presence...

Thanks dmcgee... I actually took notes on this one. hehe. I'll try some of them for sure. I think I'll try going to the supermarket/store first and see how it pans out for me. I think the supermarket is more my pace. I definitely won't run out of there cause I love love shopping. lol. Thanks for...

I'm not sure about others, but I'm immensely shy and downright frightened of social media marketing. I've tried showcasing 'MYSELF' making soap, but often delete it right away from instagram. Then I try "privately" going live with just family and friends, but often 'end' the meeting pretty...

Thanks. Yeah! I think I need to figure out my air circulation. I have the humidifier on right now, but at 50% in the basement. The fan is on too. I don't really leave the fan on all day, but from time to time, I do put on the fan. I guess I have to keep checking the soaps to figure this out...

Hello All I'm new here. Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been making soap for a little while now...less than 2 years (LOL). I've learned a lot through the years though. I love making cold process bar soaps. It could also be very relaxing too. How and why did everyone start making soaps...

I use the cold process technique to make soaps. I've been doing this for over a year now. I'm actually in the process of packing 300 bar soaps. However, I have a question. I have about a week and a half left for my soaps to be completely cured (well the recommended 4-6 weeks). It will be 4...
