  1. As a long time Low carb dieter, I love Stevia and use it all the time!

    However, TOO MUCH Stevia is very bitter and has an awful aftertaste, so it is better to put too little IMO. For instance, in a cup of coffee...I dip the TIP of my teaspoon into the powder, and that is all I need.

    I have fiddled with lots of things for my lip balms, I just give em away, so no biggie....but I used Splenda in one recipe and it was a big hit! I think my dh puts it on just to eat!:grin2:

  2. Hi all!

    After much searching, I FINALLY found a taper mold on ebay. It makes 8 tapers, very nice. I got it yesterday.

    Anyway, I cleaned it out, and decided to try it. I poured one candle to test the wicks I had on hand, and to see finished product, etc.

    I used 100% beeswax, as I always do.

    How the HECK do I get it OUT?!?!?!? PLEASE help me....I don't know what to do...I was SO excited to get this...I feel so dumb!:rolleyes2

    Any help is appreciated :o

  3. I ordered a sample from them over a month ago(Peaks does not carry this FO :) ). STILL have not received it. I have sent multiple emails with zero response. Is this typical? It wasn't alot of money, but I can't imagine wanting to deal with them again after this.

    Now, I AM in Canada, but I have never had ANYTHING take over a month to arrive from the US, especially something sent Airmail.

    Any help? Suggestions?

  4. Someone posted the link to the auction on "The Whisk" and I saw it there.

    Scroll down to just above the Paypal logo.

    Where does she think Glycerin comes from?!?!

  5. I have worked with TJ on a few things. He is fast and does great work. Far as I know, he is still moving and probably won't be back online until early next week.

    We belong to a site about making money on ebay, he does templates for them, and I did some graphics for a couple of them.

    Logos are not too hard, depending on what you want. Email me, maybe I can help! :)

  6. that is very good to know, i am in BC and i do worry about shipping charges. where are you located?

    I am in Alberta, and when I order I make sure I stay in and around $15 USD, to avoid UPS "brokerage" fees.

    Even witht he shipping, prices are much better than I have found anywhere else.

  7. What kind of preservative are you using? Long shelf life is going to be dependant on preservative.

    To be honest, I am not sure. They are just some simple recipes I found online, but I am looking for a decent, long lasting lotion base, that I can add things to. The lotion bases I have found in my soap store are way too pricey.
