Excellent! Do you have a recipe you can share?

Wow! Very pretty!

I have only had a few soaps that came out what I had envisioned. All of the others I had to roll with. No one knows that I am less then impressed. An example. I wanted to make a Lime soap that had pastry bagged florets on top. Having no prior experience, I put my white spap in the mold, then...

I've used chai tea in a recent soap, along with peach tea and it turned my natural soap color to a medium brown, I knew this was going to happen so I didn't stress. I use Sodium Lactate or palm kernal flakes to help harden my soaps. I just unmolded my chocolate sopa, and it came out just fie. My...

thick hair....

[SIZE="4"][/SIZEI love the idea of using almost all olive oil. Honey, yummy, but, I have a problem with GM. I absolutely HATE the smell. Everyone tells me I'm crazy. They don't smell the barnyard that I smell. Is there any way to harden a largely olive oil soap besides waiting months for that to...

Well Hello neighbor. I lived in Rancho Cucamonga for many years, and now in Palm Springs for 22. The shampoo bar out to be good for Kayla. What I could really use is a lotion bar. Would you help me out and point me towards a lotion bar? My email addy is, [email protected]. As soon as I get...

Frank, can you send me a link to your hair bows?

Wal Mart sells Castor oil in a 6 oz bottle for $2.68. They are often sold out. When I see it I clear the shelf...lol. The cashier must think I need to poop real bad.

I made my second batch of shampoo on Friday. I'm in the office so don't have the recipe, but I used Castor, olive, canola, jojoba and sweet almond oils. I added some Palm Kernal flakes to harden the bar. I made a 3 lb. loaf. I added peppermint and tea tree EO and a touch of Edens Garden FO from...

My grands that are Mexican, have skin that holds up really well in the summer sun. My two grand daughters have very thick hair. I just made myself shampoo bars that are formulated for my thin, color treated hair. It's packed with good oils, but for the girls this would be just to greasy. Can...

OK, I was thinking about this while I was getting ready for work today. I have TEN grand children. 6 of them are Mexican American, and my beloved grand daughter, Kayla, is also African American ( I HATE that word...American. We ARE American). Anyway, I'd like to make a soap, a shampoo bar, and...

I know this is an older post, but I recently had this happen to me, where my lye water had tiny bits floating in it...but I knew what is was. I had broken one of my thermometer's so I had to use the same one to test both lye and oil. I know you see this coming.....I hadn't cleaned off the...

Yaaaayyyy! I'm reading along here because Monday I am going to make CM soap...AND, I opened the can of CM I got at Wal Mart weeks ago, and froze cubes of it to use IN soap...but I didn't know if I had THAT brand, AND the cubes are rapidly disappearing into curry's I've ben making. YEP that's the...

My second soap I ever made, was a shampoo bar. I loved it then, and I am still using it. I have dry hair to begin with, so I figured I'd have to make some kind of a conditioner. Nope. I'm in the office and don't have the exact recipe with me, but it had in it, Olive, coconut 76*, Jojoba, Apricot...

The first thing I thought of when I was the list of ingredient's was it seemed awfully busy to me. As gramma to ten, IMHO I'd say, keep it simple so the kids can capture what you are teaching them. My own 9 year old grand daughter, Kayla, got to watch me make soap for the first time last night...

BURP!:lolno:

Wal Mart sells Castor oil located with the laxatives. I bought out the shelf yesterday, all 5 bottles became mine! I paid $2.68 for a 6 oz bottle. If they are out of stock, ask the people in the Pharmacy to order you some. They get deliveries everyday, and should be able to hold some bottles for...

Happy Birthday! Hope you feel better soon. The only thing I can say that works for me is CHICKEN SOUP. Hubby uses the Cloroseptic and swears by it. Another thing we both use are Red Hots cinnamon candy, and/or Hot Tamales (the candy). Cinnamon numbs the pain.

Breathtaking!!!!
