I'm enjoying this so much!

I'm hooked. I have been enjoying making my own soap so much! I think my husband is probably tired of hearing about my latest recipe, how soft my skin is, etc...... Seriously though, I'm 49 years old and I can honestly say that my skin has never felt this soft. I even used one of my soap bars on my hair. I haven't seen it shine like this for years! Now where am I going to put all of this soap? I think I know what everyone is getting for Christmas this year.

You have every right to "toot your horn" so toot it as loud as you can!! Christmas "shopping" is easy when you are a soap maker. The only major concern is who gets which bar.

Just today I was helping with a community garden and got all dirty. I scrubbed my hands in the nearby restroom and could not STAND how dry my hands felt with the liquid detergent. I came home and showered, so happy to use my moisturizing home made soap. It certainly is a great feeling in more ways than one!

I had that same reaction when I first used my soap. I had no idea what I had been missing out on until then! I don't even find the need to use lotions anymore but do anyways because I am a lotion junkie...which leads me to my next adventure, homemade body butters/creams

Funny, today I was out working on the exterior of my house and got fairly dirty. Instead of being not so happy about that, I thought "Oh good, now I can go and shower with my soap!"

Janet, people here are so willing to share! But your question is too broad. There is no way to answer it adequately. Do lots of reading here, and if you have questions about something specific, ask! Also go to soapcalc and play around with the oils and their numbers and read about their properties. You'll soon begin to get it figured out.
