Heres what I ordered

Bottella de esencia

Carpe' diem

Niagara falls

Bonsai

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!

I soaped this about 3 months ago and it did beautifully...no A or D and the scent is still holding strong!

I've started with 8 ozers. 4 just isn't enough for me to do much with. Not sure 8 is even enough either.

Keep in mind your oils will be coming in the amber glass!

I do the 8 ozers to start with also. More times then not I am reordering it because it wasn't enough...LOL

LMAO! I can take the blame...I'm a big girl! Seriously....I love Southern Soapers scents and haven't had one yet that I didn't like! And they have become one of my main suppliers! Found tons more I loved after the Southern Soapers Swap to. The Mandarin, Basil Lime salt bar Meridith did was outstanding....filled my entire bathroom and bedroom with the scent just using it in the shower!! I will put off my order from them for a week if the free sample is one I have already sniffed...just so I can get one I haven't sniffed yet....LOL Ordering from Kelly is very addicting...LOL

After you place your order, do not take advantage of their $10 rewards program. That's what is happening. You think you're getting $10.00 off of something, but in the fine print, it signs you up for something.

Yep that is where it happens...if you even check it out you end up signed up for it.

I ended up quitting my full-time job to keep up with my business. I had been at my job for 10 years and it is the best thing I ever did...and I haven't looked back!

A vendor really should know this - the information should be provided to them with the FO. I don't understand why she does not.

I do believe Bert bought out a company and these "clearance" scents are from them. And if I remember right she didn't get a whole lot of info with them so she is not able to say if they are skin safe or not....so to err on the safe side she has them listed that way. Maybe she will jump on here and explain that.... I think you will notice on her "normal" line she has listed if they are skin safe or not.

I have bought several molds from Rose and they are very high quality and she shipped fast also! Never noticed that her shipping was out of line either?

Very Lovely Soapies!! The one looks like a painting...love it!

Looks Wonderful!! I did a gardners soap this year with poppy seeds, pumice and ground oatmeal....we are loving the scrubbies!!

Very pretty! I need to order those POP colors in and try them!

I use their Apple Butter...and love it but it sucks because it is now the only thing I get from them!

Oh and make sure you go to the Just In! catagory and add the free sample to your cart...it isn't automatic. Last week (or my last order)it was Golden Poppy...very nice out of bottle! And If it is your first order there is a coupon for $5 off...I think the code is on The Dish in her sales announcement.

I LOVE Southern Soapers FO's! Here are a few I use....off the top of my head......

Mineral Salt Spa

Tranquil Spa (Love this one)

Sweet Pea & Rhubarb (our best seller this year)

Sandalwood Amber (extremely sensual)

Mandarin Basil Lime (very fresh & clean...another I love)

Cherokee Princess (got this in the SS swap and loved it)

Italian Granita Ice

French Lilacs

Macapuno Sorbert

AND of course Botella De Esencia...LOL

and the list goes on and on....LOL

I just got in Black Eyed Susans but haven't had a chance to soap it..smells delish oob!

Silvermoon...

Yea what she said......

I've been on and off that upland site too, loading and unloading and realizing there's not much room to sneak anything into this place any more. I sooooooooo really just want liners for the molds I have, but that too shall wait and wait and wait. (Now let's pray that hint sinks in with another member on here lol.)

Check out Silvermoon....they will do custom liners to fit the molds you already have. I have two custom molds from them and they absolutely ROCK!! And I will be ordering more from them!!

I have never tried Columbus Foods Olive Pomace. I did buy some Olive Pomace from our resturant supply ..... comes in a 1 gallon can and that turned my soap a more creamy color then white. But the price was nice....$12.15 a gallon and no shipping. But I just couldn't get over the slight discoloration I got from it.

Pomace traces faster and the soap isn't near as white.....more a creamy color. I don't use pomace because I like white!

Well the Celestial Colors Cocoa turned a lovely deep purple for me....no brown there anywhere..LOL

Select Shades go wonky on me every now and then................I really do prefer my Celestial Colors. Gelling usually helps the colors become a little true'r so I force gel on all of mine.

She sold her formulas to Aroma Haven/Rustic Essentials. Don't know if they are carrying them yet or not?

Ohhhh very pretty!! And don't ya just love the mold?? I love the 2 I bought...simplifies everything!

WOW! Very very pretty....love the color combo!

I love Peaks Apple Blossom!! I make it exclusivly for a resort here and they go through tons of it. It is a beautiful scent and holds very well in cp!

WOW....just beautiful!!!!
