Oh wow, now Im really going to roll my eyes when I hear them talk about it all day. They both claim to be so holistic. 

Now after reading these replies, I do remember reading pure essential oils shouldnt be put directly on the skin and many of YL eo's are applied that way. In fact, one wanted me to try a pain reliever eo for my bad wrist. Was a little hesitant, but tried it and did relieve a lot of my pain. Unfortunately it was only topical relief. A client of mine also spoke of their oils being ingested. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do. Thanks for the info!

I've been out of the b&b world again for a while. A few of the stylist I work with talk about nothing but Young Living oils and that nothing compares. It's almost a cult. I've never really gotten into EOs, but am getting intrigued. Is this just a pyramid co or are the oils really that spectacular?

Not new, but Olive Blossom from BCN is a beautiful scent.

Also, Apple Blossom from Peak is slightly sweet and slightly floral. It's very pretty and would make excellent body butter, imo.

 I love Olive Blossom an didnt think about that. I think the Water Blossom Ivy would be good too. 

One of my clients as asked me to make body butters for all her bridesmaids in June. She doesn't care on the scent, but I want them to be perfect for her. Anything new out with fo's there that is feminine, light and airy for bridesmaids. 

I ordered new jars for my swap with the jar being a basic 4oz. For the life of me I cant remember what size of rectangle label I need for the jar Anyone??

I bought a small bottle at a health food store. I dont get whats so great about it. The smell is aweful, so now its sitting up in a box of "will never use" again.

Love the scent of this but Im not finding it with a lot of suppliers. Has anyone seen it lately, where I can get some?

Yes, the Coconut oil is what clogs my pores. Maybe I will try the sunflower oil instead. Where did you find a chart for oils/pore blocking?

With all the rage of coconut oils for skincare, I have made the OCN and CO blocks my pores on my face terribly, causing blackheads. Wondering if olive oil or the castor could be a source of blockage too. Been googling a bit but never getting a clear answer.

Is there such a thing as blueberry eo? A fellow nail tech was looking for it and not finding anything. Im not seeing it either so assuming it doesnt exist.

Water blossom ivy, and Olive blossom are my favorite for fresh clean scents.

Getting ready to make my soap for my nail clients and thought a beer soap sounding intriguing for the guys that work at my salon. Just wondered if there was a benefit to using beer or if it was just for label factor. What kind of scents or EO's work with beer?

Wondering if I put lids on too soon. Just bought my preservative and jars were new. Im so glad I didnt give this to anyone, I would have been devastated.

Just sick about this. I made a small batch of my old trust emulsified body butter for myself and at work for pedicures. Im guessing it was about2 months or so, opened up 2 of them and fuzzies are growing. I dont know id my scale was off or what. Always used tge same preservative as before. Just baffled. In the trash they went.

I have been looking for 1/8 to 1/4Oz size mini polish bottles with brushes and all I can find are large one. Can you tell me who sells them?

Pink Sugar

I think some suppliers carry paraffin wax. We do a lot of dips at the salon. Although the treatment is temp is feels great on the skin and sore joints.

I want to narrow down to 5 scents for my body butter. I personally love pink sugar and when i sold it, it sold well. I also love BCN water blossom ivy butneed some other ideas to test.

Ive googled and googled and looked for a good online supplier for silk stems to make my bridal bouquet for Vegas to no avail. Hobby lobbys look cheap and cant find the colors I need. Bright summer pinks and purples. Help

Is dryflo, escentually just cornstartch. Dryflo is hard to find and have only seen it at MMS. Just wondering if there was an alternative?

Since Im starting all over again in the soap world, just wondering if there is anything new and cool for colorants. The last ones I had were the brights for tbk and loved them. I love bright happy colors.

Pink sugar was always a huge seller. I used to have a frosted snowdrops, but i xant remember the supplier. That was a favorite year round one for me. I would think coconut lime for summer would be good

Seems like I used to have a spreadsheet for my body butters, extension that calculated everything for me. I don't have a clue how to use excel anymore. Is there a download somewhere? I've been searching all day with no luck.

Followed advice and called a small hardware store in a small town by us. 1Lb container 100% lye $3.32. I had her order me a few more lbs. Great deal

I haven't bought lye forever. What's the best lye source with the best price?
