  1. Wow! You have been busy. They all look wonderful!
  2. I was afraid that I would not be able to duplicate this, but I think I nailed it (are these pics huge, I have a 22" monitor and can't tell, even after resizing.) These are pop colors: In the mold: The first bar from an older batch: Cut bars from the new batch:
  3. The middle and the first one at my fave!
  4. I actually drop my slabs on the floor from my knees down to make them even, especially when I absentmindedly pour at a thick trace.
  5. I think they are swamped with orders from so many people at once.
  6. If you want my honest opinion the background ois too busy. I would change it to black words on a white background and lose the fruits and veggies and have a plain white background.
  7. Lowes carries sodium hydroxide. If you are still looking for some PM me and I can sell you a pound or two of mine.
  8. I have never used it because i thought it had DOS issues......But its so much cheaper than other oils that I normally use. I might have to try it out.
  9. The downside is that they do not come in a box but I use a little hang tag that I tie around the reeds. My customers don't seem to care about boxes.
  10. I get mine from Just Scent, the bottle is so pretty (the square) and the reeds are awesome. It took me forever to find reeds that would not clog or throw properly. I have tried those other kits from Natures Garden (the same ones All White carries I think) and I was not pleased with the scent throw from the reeds. Here's one of mine. I believe you get 60 bottle sets for $72, and you can buy 100 reeds for $12.95. The diffuser oil is fantastic too (both from JS and NG):
  11. I carry a 6 oz with 12" reeds. Its easier to fit 12" reeds into boxes.
  12. Madinaonline.com has it but they do not spell it out either. Great smelling stuff:smiley2: http://madinaonline.com/items.asp?Cc=P519&iTpStatus=0&Tp=&Bc=
  13. Luckily they are 20 minutes down the road from me, so I don't have that problem. I love WSP, the ladies (and guys) are always helpful when I stop by and I have never had a problem with them. They are the only supplier I know where I can order at 11 am and pick everything up big or small at 11:15 am (and its all packed and ready to go when I get there.) The other supplier close by to me takes 4-5 days to call or email me that my order is ready but I will continue to support them. Contrary to popular belief, rules are not meant to be broken. They say $25, and the order is over that, then the promotion no longer applies. I think they are right not to bend the rules, otherwise what's the point.
  14. Considering that they are able to serve 24 million cups of coffee to 24 million other people that do not scald themselves daily versus the 1 idiot every year that does should speak volumes. According to this there is another side to the story. Either way it goes the woman was still a moron for sitting a cup of hot coffee in between her thighs.
  15. I only use Distilled water. Last time I used tap water my soap never set up (and it was a 5 batch night with a tried and true recipe.) Ran out of distilled water and said, what the heck, everyone else uses tap. Soaps were semi-liqud in the morning (usually rock hard within 10 hours.) Since that episode I will never use tap again. I don't think its the castor. I use 20-25% in each batch, makes one mean silky bar! My conditioning score for my fave recipe is 56. My base recipe's conditioning score is 53. I cringe when I see recipes with conditioning scores of 50 and under, makes my skin itch just thinking about it. My recipes also contain 10% shea butter, and if it melted all the way when you melted your oils, then it can't be the shea, or the coconut oil, since soap during gelling gets much hotter than the melting points of both. Castor is a drawing oil that helps draw blood circulation, etc. But it does not draw moisture out of the skin in a soap IMO, it is a moisturizing oil, and perfect for increasing the conditioning properties in your soap.
  16. Thanks! I will try the 1.9 x 2.5, I think those should go great with ovals! Thanks
  17. What size label do you normally use for your oval and for the regular round lip balm container .15 oz? TIA!
  18. There was a malfunction or defect with the bottles when they arrived so they took them off the site.
