  1. ROFL!!! I thought I was the only one
  2. lol my newest neon colors will be here on Monday. I am just trying to hold myself over until then lol
  3. I have used the gold (its ok) blue (great) lavendar (great although very light) and the green one which that one doestn work for me. Sucks because i jsut ordered the neon gel tones the other day. I hope they are brighter and stay true to color.
  4. Does this only happen to me? Everytime I use green gel tones they morph! In cphp they work beautifully! However in cp they totally change color. And of course they taunt me first by showing me a lovely shade of green then it turns. One batch turned purple in the bowl, brown in the mold than finally decided on orange. Made a batch yesterday and it turned a lovely shade of green. I was patting myself on the back and it started turning burgundy! By the time I poured it in the mold it was crap brown with a red tint and has pretty much stayed that way. Wayy too ugly. Can it be the scents? Just baffles me beacuse it only happens with the green one. Damn the green!
  5. in a sense. I am sick of using the same oils and butters in every recipe. I have subbed some hemp and macadamia nut oil. But other than that its always the same old same old. I ran out of castor oil so I am on hold for soaping. Tomorrow I am going to WHole foods to pick up some more. They have a pretty good choice of oils there. And they have different clays. Are there any oils that you think I simply *must* try at least once or you will kick me off this board forever? lol Or clays?
  6. I LOVE them!!! Do you they would hold up in the oven for cpop?
  7. Hmm I know Whole Foods sells organic coconut oil but it is pricey. You could always try a health food store. OR I saw it in blue little containers 8oz for $1 at a International Food Market. If you have anything close to that.
  8. I love your freaking soaps!!!! But I have no help to offer. I am still trying to master taking pictures lol
  9. ROFL! Well I cut it. Tried figuring out the dimensions in my head, not a good choice! I got 6, yes that's right 6 bars out of a 2lb mold! As of right now they weigh 8.3 ounces. Theya re freaking HUGE! The second cut I used a plastic tray mold I got from MMS and that one worked out much much better. This cutting thing doesnt work for me. I shouldnt be trusted with sharp objects anyway
  10. I think this one is a winner! The lather is great, lots of bubbles which I was surprised with, not drying at all. Over all fantastic. Hemp oil of course is waaaayyyyy expensive. But I figure I will use the same percentages just keep switching the 10% hemp with something else. Yesterday I amde one with Macadamian nut oil in place of the hemp and it is really really good so far. I am so happy!!
  11. Alright so 3 more soaps with my new recipe! First is the ugliest-I cut it like I was drunk, I tried to swirl with purple but the unrefined green hemp oil took over. Nag Champa-luckily it's easy on the nose since it is so hard on the eyes lol Then we have my Father's Day soap-instead of hemp I used macadamian nut oil. The bubbles on this one are great! And last but certainly not least, my wake & bake soap. Made with Hemp oil f course. Sucked on cuting this one too. Got 6 bars out of a 2lb mold
  12. Well I cpop'ed it last night. 2 batches and it looks great. If it is a good recipe I am now going to send you some lol. On looks alone I am impressed lol
  13. I have my new 2# slab molds that I used for the first time yesterday. How do I cut these darn things? What is the normal inches for length and width? Or how do I figure this out?
