Can someone give me a sub for kokum butter? Pretty new at all this and Im not sure if I even heard of it before...lol...thought it was a typo and they meant cocoa butter. Thanks!!!

I want to make a body spray that contains fco, cyclo and fragrance oil. My problem is that I want to put a faint color in it but all I have is water based coloring. would a fragrance modifier work to incorporate it? If not how would I color it? Thanks so much!!

I would like to sub something for jojoba oil in a soap recipe. The recipe calls for 8oz jojoba but I only have 4 oz... Is there an oil that is comparable to jojoba? Could I use half jojoba and half AKO? Thanks in advance!!

If you go to WSP's site they do in fact tell you it has a strong sulphur smell but it will dissipate after 24 hours or so....hope that helps! :smiley2:

Anyone know what this is?

Hi Sandra Youre a saint!!! Thank you sooo much!

Hello Just have a question about this recipe...could anyone please help me with the steps? I know cindy mentioned that bunny had lotion making instructions with her body butter and after reading them Im still confused...guess Im not sure what I need to do with the water? I realize everyones time here is valuable...thanks so much in advance. Im a nurse and I would like to make this for a patient of mine whom I love dearly. Gina

Thanks for your response Cindy...Im new here, and relatively new to the art of b&b crafting. Wasnt sure if this one was possible or not. Ill take your advice and research it before diving in. Have a great evening! :smiley2: Gina

Hi Michi! Thanks for taking the time to say hello! Yeah I totally understand your fear of driving in the ice and snow...it can be pretty tricky sometimes. Fortunately Ive lived here much of my life so I have a little experience under my belt. One thing that I find particularly amazing is the amount of Wisconsinites who have lived here their entire lives and yet when the snow hits they forget how to drive in it. I cant tell you how many accidents Ive witnessed in the last couple weeks! As for pricing...*sighs* I broke everything down for the layered bath salts I make. It came out to be about $7 to make them. I have a picture of them however I dont know how to post it here...at any rate, I dont think anyones gonna pay $20-$30 for them so alas, Im gonna sell them for $10 I think. I make my salts with fancier glass jars and then layer the best salts I can find along with the herb or flower that matches the particular scent, goats milk, FO, etc...Wish I could show it to you and see what you think! Gina

Hi everyone, Recently got a request from a friend for a shower wash made with goats milk. Most the recipes I have start with some form of pre made base. Just wondering if this is possible? Any recipes or ideas? TIA! Gina

Hiya Joyce :smiley2: Thanks for the tips! I have surfed a few other sites to see what people are charging...it seems to vary quite a bit. My husband keeps telling me something similar to what you were saying. Break down the contents of each product, figure out what all goes into it, the amounts used, what I paid for it....blahblahblah....First of all, Im pretty math illiterate unless Im calculating a IV flow rate or something , and second of all, crafting is a love, something that comes from my soul and brings me happiness so I guess when it comes to putting a price on that its kinda hard. I would love to just be able to give the stuff away, and I have...tons of it, however the demand is just getting too big and its really starting to get expensive for me. I guess at this point Ill just do the best I can and learn from trial and error?:undecided As for the snow..35 inches?! Yikes, I can believe it though, they were nasty storms. I live in southern Wisconsin..think we got about 10-15 inches between both storms. The first one was all snow..second was all rain and ice. We just had a young boy (my sons best friend) die in a fatal car crash. He was returning from National Guard duty last Sunday night and lost control when his car hit some black ice. Very very sad. Anyways...hope youre staying warm over there in Minn. So nice to meet you Joyce! Gina

Well Ive kinda been lurking around here for awhile and have decided to show myself finally... From what Ive read thus far, yall are an amazing and talented group of people. Im so glad I found this forum! Having said that, Im not sure if Im posting this question in the right area, if so, please accept my apologies in advance. Ive been making bb items for some time however never had the courage to actually sell them. Recently I made some stuff for friends at work and they have assured me that I could easily sell my stuff. My question is, how do I go about setting prices? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!:smiley2: Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Gina
