  • MY NAME IS CHERYL, AND I HAVE BEEN A SOAPER FOR 3-4 YEARS NOW, (I THINK, LOL). I FOLLOWED MMS FOR A FEW YEARS AND THIS IS MY VERY FIRST POST, EVER. . .SO HAVING A LIL TROUBLE. I WAS READING SOMEWHERE QUESTIONS ABOUT COLORING (ESP FOR GREEN). . .AND I WANTED TO SHARE SOME INFO THAT I HAVE BEEN LEARNING. I JUST RECEIVED MY SHIPMENT OF HERBAL POWDERS. . .OXIDES AND CLAYS COMING SHORTLY, AND COULDNT WAIT TO GET STARTED LAST NIGHT. . .I FINISHED THIS CPHP AT MIDNIGHT! RESTLESS, AND COULDNT SLEEP, OF COURSE I PEEKED AND POKED ALL NIGHT, LOL, AND CUT IT AT 8 AM THIS MORN! I LIKE THE REST OF US HAVE ALSO HAD NOT SO PERFECT BATCHES. . .( :roll: MUST BE THE MAD SCIENTIST IN ME, LOL), AND IT WAS AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I DECIDED THAT HERBAL POWDERS AND CLAYS WERE THE BEST CHOICE FOR ME NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE NUTRITIOUS SKIN PROPERTIES THEY OFFER, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ARRAY OF NATURAL STABLE NON-FADING COLORS WHICH NEONS AND CAKE FROSTING COLORS ALWAYS DO!

    I USED RBO, COCONUT AND PALM OILS FOR MY BASE, ABOUT A HALF TEASPOON OF RUBBING SPICE WENT INTO MY LYE WATER WITH HOLDING THE QUANTITY OF COCONUT MILK WHICH I ADDED AT TRACE. WORKING FASTER THAN I THOUGHT, BOY, THE RBO MADE THIS STUFF GO FAST! I TOOK OUT TWO POUNDS AND ADDED A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF OATSTRAW POWDER (AVENA SATIVA) AND A SCANT OF ROLLED OATS, WHICH AT FIRST LOOKED LIKE SCARY SICKENING (THICKENING) PEA PORRIDGE, AND TO THE REST OF THE BODY I ADDED MANUKA UMF 15+ HONEY FROM NEW ZEALAND (AWESOME STUFF) AND ALOE VERA GEL WHICH TOOK ON THE FORM OF A HORRIFYING BRIGHT ORANGE WHICH PROCEEDED TO DOING SOME FREAKY STRANGE STUFF! I STIRRED AND STIRRED AND PRAYED LIKE CRAZY, LIKE CRAZY. . .AND GOT MY PEA POO IN MY PREPARED MOLD (I LIKE LINED BOXES), AND ADDED GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF RAW SUGAR BETWEEN LAYERS!

    I MUST SAY THAT MY PEA POO TURNED HAPPILY INTO AN EARTHY OLIVE GREEN, (BARLEY GRASS POWDER IS A GOOD NATURAL GREEN TOO), AND THE BODY OF MY EXPENSIVE TURNED BRILLIANT BRIGHT ORANGE HONEY (FROM ALL THE SUGARS) HAD TAMED TO AN ADMIRABLE EARTHY TAN/BROWN!

    I GOT MY POWDERS AT MONTEREY BAY SPICE COMPANY AT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS VERY REASONABLY PRICED, BECAUSE THEY DO SELL BY THE 'QUARTER-4 OZ.' AND POUND LOTS, WHICH GAVE ME A VARIETY TO INEXPENSIVELY PLAY WITH! :lol:
