Hello all,
I have not made any soap as of yet. After reading a tremendous amount of information on the internet, I don't think I am interested in any method other than the M&P method. So, I have a few questions.
From what I have read, you don't want to add a bunch of different "stuff" to the MP soap bases. But, can two or more different MP bases be safely and successfully mixed? For example, if one were wanting to make a MP soap that had honey, oatmeal, and hemp, is it okay to take a pound of honey MP base, a pound of oatmeal MP base, and a pound of hemp MP base, melt them together, add color and fragrance to create a 3 lb. block of honey-oatmeal-hemp soap?
Also, my wife and I live in a rural part of northern west TN. We are both disabled and need some additional income. We are neither able to work at public jobs. So, I have been racking my brain trying to figure out something that would have a low physical impact on us; yet allow us to earn a few extra dollars each month. In your personal opinions, would you think that trying to sell MP soaps in a small rural area would be a reasonable way to earn a few extra dollars each month?? I know none of you have chrystal balls (or at least I don't think you do!). But, I'd like your input! And, be honest... I can take it!! :wink:
Sorry if these sound like dumb questions. But, I am trying to learn!!
Thanks in advance for your input!!
Robert
