I just got some of the molds from Tony's, how do you figure how big of batch to make. It's kinda got me stumped (doesn't take much) lol. It says on their site that each bar will be 4.8 to 5oz. Should I just go by this and times by how many bars I want?

Or maybe one of you great, helpful people could just tell me how much you make for them ?

TIA

Yes, I have heard that floride can be bad also. But I think that is only if it's ingested. I think if it's applied to teeth (in toothpaste, or rinse) it's not so bad.

Whatcha talken about....I am still WAITING for summer!! :sad2: I am convinced it is GONE!! It went south and it aint commin back!!

Geez I miss the South East!!:tiptoe:

tootie

Same here!!!

Heres what I ordered

Bottella de esencia

Carpe' diem

Niagara falls

Bonsai

Bacchus ( I think just because of the sexy man in the pic)

Blue musk

O' Cealleigh

Vetiver

Dragonfly moon

Sweet Peas & Rhubarb

Hope Chest

Inishmoor

Bossa Nova

and of course the kiwi melon free sample

Now to decide what to soap first, before it gets here.

Probably gonna be Botella de esencia!

OK, to afford all the oils I now want from here, I've got to win the lotto. The list is long, and there are some coming out later this year that sound good, too.

I hear ya! Wouldn't that be great, then you could get one of each!

I had to change my cart around 3 or 4 times before I could afford it, and even then I was pushing it!

:yay:

I just got notice that my order is shipping today!

:yay:

Attention all you enablers. Which size should I go with 4 or 8 oz bottles? TIA

I did mostly 8 oz. A few were 16! I wanted all 16oz'ers but I just couldn't do it. It cost me a fortune, but I can't wait to get them.

Don'tcha just love how all these enablers just don't have any conscience (sp?) at all!!! :laugh2:

I blame Kymber!!

The bank HAS to do something. They are unauthorized charges.

Call your bank or CC company and have them reverse the other charges.

Oh Kymber, why oh why did you have to use Botella de esencia in the swap scrub. I am gonna be in so much trouble. My cart has almost $200.00 worth of FO's in it. Talk about being an FOHO!

I just got a box last week from BW that cost me $162, and I just placed an order Sat with NG that was over $200.

I so have to have that FO. I can't keep my nose out of it. I use just a little at a time(just on my hands) so it lasts. How does it CP, BTW?

:tiptoe: Off to figure out which card to use , shh don't tell!!!

That just cracked me up because that is why I bought it!! Does this mean we are horn dogs?? lol

:laugh2:

You all are such enablers, lol!!!

These are what I had picked out before asking

Bottella de esencia

Carpe' diem

Niagara falls

Bonsai

Bacchus ( I think just because of the sexy man in the pic)

Blue musk

O' Cealleigh (I just discovered this is Green irish tweed renamed:grin2: )

Vetiver (not sure what vetiver alone smells like but there is an Axe body spray with it that I have to sniff every time I see it.

I had a lot more the other day in my cart, but chickened out. Now I added back the

Dragonfly moon

Sweet Peas & Rhubarb

Any opinions on the bossa nova or passionate pomegranate?

OMG I need one of everything........

Since I HAVE to have some of the Botella de Esencia (thanks to Kymber's scrub) I thought maybe I would try a couple others. Who wants to order just one bottle of FO, especially when its so far away. I was hoping for some recommends. Thanks

ditto on peaks.

it's really strong... too strong!!

Agreed. You don't need much. Which makes it very cost effective!

I think your swirls are great. Very nice looking!

Peak's lavender is super strong!

I don't sell, but honestly don't like a balm I have to use my fingers to apply. Tubes all the way!

Ditto.

There's just something about sticking your finger in it and then on your lips, especially when you are out running errands.EEEWWWWEEEE!

ETA I don't sell them "yet" either.

Must have posted at the same time as Meridith.

Forgot about suggesting HP.

I am not by any means a pro, but I really don't think there is any way around an FO that seizes. I think you could probably lower your temps, say 90-95deg. But that still may not help. Are you discounting your water at all. I would do full water and very low temps, and if that doesn't work then nothing probably will .

I have the BW Black Irish. I heard that it doesn't stick in CP soap. Oh heck I better go make a small batch and see myself, cuz I agree it does smell really good.

I checked Tony's and they are out of stock:( . I like to order from places where I can get more than 1 thing, and I've been really scoping out those soap molds.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

I need to find which suppliers have this, besides TSW. I just can't bring myself to pay $34+ a lb for it. I was hoping SS had it but I can't see it on their site, unless the name is different like a lot of their scents. Would you all mind helping me out?

I'm really glad this was brought up. I was looking at their FO's and only looking at the full leaves. I guess when I order I will go ahead and try the ones with less. Thanks all!

I really like the Blue Vanilla. Can't say about the rest.

I've had nothing but awesome personal service from BW. I just placed an order on Sunday for a whole bunch of oils. In fact I orderd so many I had to cut down to 8oz'ers just so I could get all the ones I wanted. Can't wait to get them.
