I already have a bubble bar recipe I like that calls for glycerin I'm hoping to figure put a bathbomb that also bubbles and not just foams.

Seen a YouTube video of a Bubble Bomb by secret treasures. Love the idea of dropping a bomb in the tub and having a bubble bath from it. You of course have to drop it in under the running water which is fine. Has anyone else tried to make these? One of the ingredients is olive oil glycereth-8 esters. I cant find it anywhere in the u.s. but love the idea of also having the moisturizing benefit of it without killing the bubbles. I tried crushing up a dried batch of bubble bars and mixing it into a bathbomb mixture. I got bubbles but not as many as I wanted. Next I'm going to try mixing coco-b And sci powder with baking soda and letting it dry before mixing into a bomb. 

 This will be my first time using sci and I've looked high and low on how much to use compared to slsa but havent nailed down a percentage yet. Does anyone have a idea of how much to use?

Where is this event at? It looks like so much fun. 

I am new to making Bubble Bars and have found a couple of recipes I want to try but I have SLS not SLSA and am wondering if I use the same amount of SLS as I would SLSA? SLS is powder form not liquid. Also I have cocamide DEA that is called for in a recipe but would like to know a good sub for it since it is a possible carcinogen. TIA!!!

Man there are so many that i want to try!

So you blend 6 wax's together to make your melts? I buy blended and mix two different ones together, I can't imagine 6.

I am curious to know if you found a wick that you liked and could use with the 4627.

I have only used JS and not bc but I love JS and it is a best seller for me

How many times have you burned it? If it's not drowning out I would say leave it. What type of wax?

Yes the did do the wax giveaways last time. But I think they gave more away this time. The FO companies also gave away oils like they did this time too. 

I had a blast! It was a good conference lots of good people there.

We are 5 miles from the store. So ready!!!

What is the biggest event you have done and how much would you pay to set up somewhere? I got into Holiday House in Little Rock, AR but it is a 1200 set up fee. The most I have paid so far is 150. Now this event goes from a wed thru a sunday and lasts 12 hrs a day 3 of those days. I am trying to weight the pros and cons here. Anyone ever set up at this event?

I am just as bad old glory lol. I use 464 for candles but will mix paraffin or beeswax with for the frosting. Use comfort blend for my paraffin candles but also mix it with 4794 for melts have used straight paraffin a d additives for pillars and 1343 both with good results. How is 4625 gonna get a box this weekend?

How many of you buy straight paraffin and add stuff to make your own blends and how many buy preblended and just use it? If you make your own blend what do you feel like the benefits of it are compared to preblended? Not asking for recipes here just curious.

aztec is suggesting the hilton

I looked on Orbitz and hotels.Com already with no luck of finding any that were cheaper either.

If you don't mind driving in downtown knoxville that is fine with me trapper. I hate driving in the city, I'm a country girl through and through

Yes, I thought I would be able to find a friend to go with but everyone has plans that weekend. They just don't know what they are missing though! My husband still thinks I am insane for going lol.

That would be Awesome OldGlory! Tappeur did you ever find anyone to split a room with?

Has anyone booked a room yet? I need to just trying to figure out if there is anything cheaper within walking distance of the convention.

I will be there, So just 1 here. Can't convince my hubby to go with me

I have been wanting to make tapers but can't convince my husband to let me buy any supplies to do so he say's they won't sell.

Trappeur you are a braver soul than I.
