    Need a good Daisy dupe

    Anyone used the Daisy type by Nature's Garden? It doesn't get very good reviews for sticking in cp soap on the website. I see that Daystar also offers one, but it's expensive. I have a co-worker who is really begging me to try Daisy. SSRB only had 2 reviews. Thanks!

    Miscellaneous FOs for sale

    The amount of FOs I have is utterly ridiculous. I must clean out my cabinets in order to find some room. Buyer to pay shipping. Most will need to go UPS due to flash points. As a disclaimer, I work M-F and we have lots of after school activities, so it may take me a while to reply. NDA...

    Essential Oil Coop

    Just wanted to let you know that Soapers Resource (a closed FB group) has an awesome Essential Oil co-op going on right now. It is a closed group, but it's been worth it to me to join this group (for the essential oils alone). Patch, Lime, Bay, and Geranium are the current offerings for...

    The Perfect Man from NG

    This is a really nice FO (as long as it sticks around). Somewhat of a cologne smell, but you can detect the grapefruit quite a bit. I do like it a lot. It was a dream to work with. No A, discoloration to light mauve. Go figure! It's a little more expensive from NG (no more than other...

    WSP Magnolia

    Soaped Magnolia this weekend. It does move a bit quick, but I pre-colored the entire batch with French Pink clay and had a darker pink mica ready for a swirl. Seemed fine to begin with, but as I poured the lighter pink batter started turning to applesauce, but would smooth back out if stirred...

    Last one...OMH

    I like the calendula petals in my OMH, but I was testing out two different OMH's. AHRE's OMH Chermark (on the bottom) and SoapsuppliesNet OMH on top (without any calendula). Both took forever to reach a decent trace and I ended up pouring too soon. There was a nice calendula layer in between...

    Pink Magnolia

    I was going for pink magnolia with a darker pink swirl, but it's a pale pinky-orange. Oh well!! Used Magnolia FO from WSP. I really enjoy the scent, moved a bit quick, but it's manageable if you're ready. By the time I poured it was looking a little applesaucy and there are a few air bubbles...

    The Perfect Man (soap)

    Sorry, it's not really the perfect man, but it is "The Perfect Man" from NG soaped in a Tiger Stripe. This FO was an absolute dream to work with, no A, but if you notice the edges, they are turning mauve. So dark grey/mauve doesn't really fit, but I do like the FO. The inside portion hasn't...

    Anyone use PagePlus Cellular?

    My son has a very basic phone through Tracfone, but the phone sucks, the reception sucks. It just sucks. I was looking at the PagePlus because it uses the Verizon network for coverage. Anyone use it? He's only 12 and a very basic phone is all he's getting so we can contact him if necessary...

    It's official! I'm a FO ho!

    Okay...I just took an inventory of my FO's (and EO's). I am truly ashamed of myself.:( I will never be able to use all of these!!! Even when I go through the piles to make a "sell" pile, I find too many reasons to keep them. This is the tip of the iceberg... Here are the FO's (the...

    DayStar's Buttermilk & Honey/Milk Sugar Kisses

    I thought that Irish Lass recommended mixing the two to make a wonderful OMH without any almond notes. Obviously, I was mistaken. However, trying to make lemonade out of lemons (not really) I decided to go ahead and mix the 2. I really like the Buttermilk & Honey mixed 1:1 with the Milk...

    FOs for sale

    I have the following FOs that I would like to get rid of: Brambleberry: $20: Blue Man- 14 oz left in 16 oz bottle. This is a "Blue Sugar" dupe. This one is a little sweeter, more caramel than Daystar's. I've tried 2 blue sugars, but they both irritate the crap out of my nose/sinuses after...

    Would you rebatch?

    Yowza! This FO turned into a puke green gelatinous blob the moment it was introduced to my soap at trace. Maybe I should have warmed it, maybe I should have soaped cooler, maybe I should have put with oils prior to adding lye (next time). Who knows. I soaped warmer than normal (about 120)...

    Kirkland's Olive oil causing color change?

    Good Morning. I have been experiencing a weird phenomenon the last few batches of soap. Just curious if it's the Kirkland's Olive Oil (which is new). When I add the lye water to the oils, the whole batch turns a rusty color for a few minutes. This is definitely new. Anyone else experience...

    Silicone Molds on web

    Has anyone had any experience with Walden Accessories on Ebay? There are a couple of silicone molds which look good, good price, but I would like to know if anyone else has used them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-BIG-Re ... 35b3517521 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wood-Silicone-S ...

    Good Bay Rum??

    I ordered and soaped BB Bay Rum. It's the right smell I'm looking for, but it seems really weak to me (even OOB). Soaped at 1oz/PPO, but still seems weak. It's just missing some kick, not sure how to describe it. It is also a huge heater. It did not behave badly while soaping, but I had...
