GASP! AMAZING!!!

I flipping love these cardigans. I really want to make myself one but I stink at crochet. You did an amazing job and those colors are great!

I'm really glad this popped up. I've been chasing a rash that's moved from my eye to my scalp. Did you know you can be allergic to gel nail polish and it manifests as a rash around your eye, not on your hands? Well, I know now. I've tried a couple of things on this scalp rash. Castor oil. I...

Warmth! My house sits at about 75 degrees F (in the summer!) and I keep getting glycerin rivers, especially in my soaps with titanium dioxide. I also keep getting cracks in the top so you know, it can't be awesome all the time?

I wonder if something like Natures Miracle or BioKlean's Bac-out would work. I've used both to get the smell of cat pee out of fabric (and frankly if it can get the smell of cat pee out, it can probably get any smell out!) Bac-out has no scents added.

EEE I love your card weaving! I've got a number of card weavings going on here. What knitting needles do you use? For me I find I can be more comfortable using circular needles instead of straight needles. Let the weight of the project sit in your lap and have more ability to prop arms.

Has anyone ever used a steam juicer to distill water? I know you can, and I have one, I just haven't tried it yet.

Seriously, it's our own, isn't it? My spouse also wanted un colored unscented too. He also once said You know, unscented, like Ivory soap? I straight up bought Ivory soap fragrance and waved that under his nose. In his defense, he was saying more like I've smelled this since I was a kid so it's...

I didn't think Spectrum hydrogenated their oil. I thought that was their thing- non hydrogenated oils. I've used their regular palm oil. It's great- if you can get your hands on it. I feel like the price has spiked recently and none of my usual places carry it. I used it successfully for years...

Big hugs to you, my husband was diagnosed about 2 months ago. It's so rough at the beginning trying to figure everything out. It was actually a huge relief for us when he was diagnosed because he was so sick. Does your doctors office offer any diabetes 'classes'? Ours did and it was a huge help.

Today I modified and tested an old favorite recipe- I swaped the palm oil out for tallow. Because I have so much tallow now.

Azure standard has drops all over the US now. I was a HUGE fan of Azure for the longest time but they really suffered growing pains during the pandemic and never recovered. I've ordered from Azure in three different states for close to 15 years. I haven't had a complete order in over two years...

I've been rendering and purifying tallow today. I picked up some suet from my local butcher. I'm excited to have some local tallow in my soaps. Remind me to never pick up from the butcher on the weekend again. I live outside a tourist town and the butcher is on the other end of town from me and...

Today I cut into yesterdays soap. I said it before and I'll say it again, love my multi bar cutter! Yesterday's soap was a comedy of errors that ended up having to be hot processed to salvaged. I did a little spoon swirl (inspired by last months challenge!) and I'm surprised with how good it...

I finally sprung for a multi bar cutter and I'm so happy. Cut one loaf of soap. The other one was still to soft to cut. Man, soap takes way longer to cure in the mid west than it did in the desert! (Last time I soaped I was in a different climate.)

I haven't made a bar of soap in over FOUR YEARS WHAT THE HEEEEEECCCKKKKK. And in the past few weeks I've make like five batches so hay I'm getting back into it. I've pulled out a couple of old reliable recipes including this one, my Absolute Favorite, Chocolate swirl. My sister gave me the...

I've gotta say that I LOVE the soap queen's recipe. The the recipe on the forum here does nothing for me. But I also have GREASY GREASY hair. Like wash everyday or die. Bums me out, I've got like 7 bars of the forum shampoo bar that don't do me any good. I just stumbled across the last two bars...
