I tried www.Serendipitiescents.com and nothing came up. Is my computer wonky this morning?

I'm looking for zinc lids for the 8oz square mason jars. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

That is pure genius!

OMG! That is funny!

Thank you Connie. I didn't think to look there.

Can anybody help me find the scent mixing ideas thread. Please. I went back out abut I must be dense this morning cause I can't find it. :rolleyes2

I've got some of the Tranquil Tropics fo that Bubbles N Lights carried. BCN has it now. It's a coconut vanilla but it doesn't say anything about being a dupe. It smells like sun tan lotion...ala Hawaiian Tropics. I did a test burn today and it did nice. I know someone who came in and smelled it said they loved it, that it made them think of being at the beach.

I use silk. I add it to the water phase.

Well if I could afford it I'd love to have her tutorial. Those shell hurricanes are beautiful!

A Garden Eastward has Jovan Musk For Women that is really nice in bath and body products. I've never tried it in wax. http://addy.com/brinkley/535.html

I make my own. It can be used for a body spray or a linen or room spray. 50% SDA alcohol 40% water 2.5% fragrance 2.5% polysorbate 20 If you want to use less (or more) fragrance, just use the same amount of PS20 and short the water by that amount. Some fo's will still be too heavy. Stir this up and let it set overnight. If there is a layer at the bottom just carefully pour the top part into bottles and discard what settled to the bottom. The scent will be in the top part. No need to shake it when you make it like this. I'd still do a small test batch with new fo's to make sure everything is going to work alright.

Thanks everyobody. I went ahead and ordered ten of the samples while they have the sale and I'll test those and see how they do. I appreciate the help!

Wow. I never knew. Thanks so much! I know I need some thing from BC so I am gonna get me some! The car thing would be so nice!

What are aroma beads? I feel so outta the loop.:rolleyes2

Those are really nice!

That is very pretty soap!

Beautiful! Is that a non-discoloring fo?

I've never ordered from them before and I'd like to try them. I can only afford to try three scents. I was thinking about trying these three and wondered if any of you have tried them and what you think. Are they good ones to try or should I sub something else? I use a paraffin container blend. The three are: Green Clover & Aloe Butt Naked Citrus Blast Actually I am really torn about adding just one more and it being Mountain Forest. I could really use your help please.

We have had a lot of problems in the past with the meth labs. I carried six and eight cans of lye at a time through the check out at Lowes and no one even blinked an eye at me. I don't think I looked like a meth maker.

It is the per pound of oils. Not the per pound of total batch weight. With that much fo in the batch it may have caused problems with your tops.

I liked them until everybody started talking about them growing bacteria. It seems as if for some reason the Electric Kiwi was the worst. I don't know if it was just easier to see them or what. Someone has a sil who is a microbiologist. She did some tests on that girls colorants and the Electric Kiwi was especially bad. If you have some try holding it up to a light and see if you see stuff floating all through the color not just sediment on the bottom because that isn't the same thing at all. I think a lot of people are going with Lab Colors (I think they have them): http://www.chemistrystore.com/ or Cybilla's Celestial Colors: http://www.celestialcolors.com/index.htm

There are different ones. Some are better for hair products.

Unless you see dirt or dust in the containers just use them the way they are. Blow them out if you see dust. Do not introduce water to them. Dust doesn't grow the ickies. Never wash containers.

The vitamin E is only an antioxidant. It will prolong the shelf life of your oils. Lotioncrafters sells it as Covi-Ox T 50 Mixed Tocopherols. http://www.lotioncrafter.com/store/Covi-Ox-T-50-pr-16175.html
