I wonder if you added an emulsifier to liquid crock pot soap if it would work more similar to commercial detergents then? It is something that I plan to get on my next BB order. Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

I like the idea of a lard coconut blend, also I'm going to try to make the soap paste for liquid soap in the crock pot tomorrow. Also had a light bulb moment tonite at the sink. As again we load the dishwasher after dinner there are inevitably dishes left to be hand washed. We have two adults...

Okay does anyone have a tried and true recipe that they actually use and it works? I'm not caring about cloudy water I would love to have some bubbles and lather but I'm just needing a recipe that works. It does not matter if its a cp recipe that you shred and melt up, a hot process liquid...

No problem on the hijacking, please feel free to do so any time. I learn a lot from others conversations. Hope everyone has a great week!

That's exactly what I was feeling, I would want someone to be honest with me. I know that if I don't at least try for this job I will regret it for the rest of my life. For me this is "the job" lol. The fact that I was contacted by someone at this agency for this job is amazing, I just can't...

Okay so I was unemployed from Jan 2012- Aug 2012. As soon as I started my new job I was contacted by at least 6 previous job applications that I had put out some of which I had interviewed for. I turned them down since they were not my dream job, nor was the pay any better. Not to mention the...

Okay so this stuff is really good. I'm sure there is something that exists to make it a little stiffer but otherwise it worked great. You just add product to bowl, add scent, and then whip the ingredients together. You get a consistency of really dense cool whip. I put mine in a refillable...

The brand of their soap line is called Something Fabulous, not sure what their candle stuff is called...

Yeah its stinky that most craft stores don't sell soap/ candle supplies anymore. Joann's does not, Michaels has a very limited supply. I just thought to share for those who have Hobby Lobby that this wasnt too bad. Of course it's not as great as BB or Bittercreek, etc but it was good for me...

With hot process soap you shouldn't add the EOs til the batch is totally neutral in Ph. You can use the testing kits for swimming pools, at least that's how I do it, lol. I add my super fatting at the end too when I mix in my EOs. I just kind of muck it all around and then slop it into the...

Hey all I know that online resources are much cheaper for coconut oil but thought I'd share incase you wanna soap now while waiting on that order, lol. On the Louann website as well as some of the coupon sites there are 50 cents off coupons available. In my area that is doubled so I got two...

Okay so I wasn't expecting much from this FO, it was 9.99 but you use 40% off coupon and it's 5.99 for 8oz of fragrance. The one that I tried was Honey Almond. I CP at low temp (lye and water around 90) and when I added 3 oz to 3 lbs of soap it did beautiful. Not only does it smell great but...

Okay don't I look like a dork, the board made the linky for ya! Lol have a great weekend...

This is a really great review board resource that I have used to determine what scents I will want to try out, was told about it by one of the Master Soapers from here. http://soapscentreview.obisoap.ca/index.php I don't know how to turn it into a linky for ya, lol. Another thing I just tried...

The scents Ive tried are very mild anyway. The most scent I've gotten is my two brown batches because of the vanilla... We are getting ready to make all our Christmas batches so I definitely want a strong long lasting scent. I just thought this was a duh fore head smacking moment lol.

Ok I don't know how I've done this but in MP I always use 0.7 FOs to 1lb of soap. Some how in my mind I did not translate this to CP soap so apparently in 2 to 3 lb batches of CP I've only been using 1.0 oz of fragrance oil. No wonder my scent fades by the time it's cured for a week or two...

Okay so I've got Bramble Berry's Foaming Bath Whip coming next week, I'm wanting to turn it into a shaving cream but cannot find instructions for it any where on soap queen or bb website. Does anyone know how to use this product? Do you just whip it no add scent and then just use it? Thanks...

Okay so not to have anyone feel pressured but wanted to point out some calendar count downs we all may not be thinking about. As I sat down with the boys this weekend we talked about what we wanted to make this year as Christmas gifts. We looked over the calendar and I notice how close...

I'm a newbie here but I'd let it cure until its been 4 weeks at least then store. Did ur original recipe indicate a curing time? Sometimes that's included, lol.

He is such a sweetie he's making me a mold for the CP soaps I've been making. I showed him how much they cost and he decided to make me one. Hopefully I'll get my BB order this week so I can get soapy! Lol Y'all have a great week. My iPad isn't letting me attach the pics oh well if anyone...
