  1. Love the label and the story! You have some amazing people in your life!
  2. I like the first two as well. And I think most people are aware of what the pink ribbon stands for. At least around here. As it's on bill boards, tv all the time etc.
  3. I too primarily shop online. I hate malls of any kind. However, we have a store like Home Depot here called Menard's and I love that store. They always have plenty of help and are helpful. My husband will ask if I want to run to Menard's with him and I jump. Even to look around. They have everything. Even foods, some toys, pet supplies etc....And the store is always clean.
  4. I primarily use the plastic roller ball. I do have some metal but haven't noticed any leaking from either. I get mine from Elements Bath and Body. Haven't tried WSP's.
  5. @Trappeur Red Clover Tea, Patchouli, Bay Rum, Raspberry Lemonade and Passionate Kisses. I've gotten 14 loafs out in the last 2 weeks. Going to shoot for 12 more this weekend.
  6. I hadn't made any soap since July if I recall correctly. So, the past two weekends I decided it was time to light a fire and get things back in order and supply replenished. Pretty happy I'm starting to make a dent. This is just some of them. I got a lot of glycerine rivers in some of them as I totally forgot to change my lye concentration when I printed the recipe. But I don't mind them too much.
  7. @Soapy Keepsakes Very pretty soap. I've not even tried to do a butterfly swirl. I do pretty simple swirls but like a lot of color. I've not been interested in all the fancy stuff. Plus I lack patience. So, kudos to you!
  8. I I got mine from Amazon. Think I got a 25 or 50 pack pretty reasonable.
  9. I do the same as Candybee. Works best for me.
  10. Hello and welcome! If I run out of room on my two shelving units, after my soaps have cured I will store them in baseball card boxes. 1 scent per box. They stack easily and keep the scents separated. I don't wrap or label them until I need them.
  11. I'm pretty sure Papermart will do that. I was checking it out several months ago. They aren't cheap though. I'm having a stamp made of my logo and going to stamp my bags myself. I use the white handle bags from papermart.
  12. I too like Capri Olivo from NG. Make it in soap and scrubs.
  13. If you do a search there are more threads on this subject as well. However, if you are having issues with headaches, you will like suffer regardless of the company. I would recommend wearing a respirator mask.
  14. I second the opinion on NG. I've had way more hits than misses. I've been buying from them for 8 years. Some of my best sellers are from them.
  15. I would add some ROE to my hemp oil. It has a short shelf life but it may give it more time. I would recommend keeping it in the fridge. It goes rancid relatively quickly. I've only ever used it in soap.
  16. So good to see you! Glad you are having some good days! You are one tough woman for sure. Still keeping you in my prayers. Think of you often.
  17. I make soap/scrubs/perfumes not candles but a few of my favorites are: Perfect Man, Cracklin Birch, Passionate Kisses, Vanilla Champagne. They sell well. Hot Pink Lime (I liked it a lot) didn't sell well, I also like Anjou Pear Blossom varies from year to year. I used Tulip in soap and scrubs and it sold great at the Tulip Festival but not much after that. It's a nice Tulip scent. I got some of the others but haven't put them in anything yet.
  18. @Jcandleattic I make 1 small batch of the Honeysuckle Rose a year. I have 3 older ladies that like it.
  19. I make soap & other B&B. I make a Honeysuckle Rose. I really dislike florals. I also make Lavender & Lilac because my customer by a lot of it. I have one I don't mind and it's a Cantaloupe Lily.
  20. I agree with TallTayl. Mine don't gel for at least 2 hours in a lot of cases. They are solid in the mold but nowhere near hard enough to unmold. I can unmold in 12-14 hours with the exception of salt bars which I unmold and cut at about 3 hours.
  21. Some members of another forum have tested small batches with eye shadow they had laying around for colorants. They said many worked. They were just making soap for personal use. I have seen it recommended for beginners to try. I don't use eye shadow so nothing around to play with.
