I guess we are lucky in Canada because I just bought a LARGE container of it at my local grocery store

Do I hear 10??? TEN (10)

Those are AWESOME :yay: I just love the scent of Eucalyptus/Spearmint, I used it in a foot lotion and everybody I gave some to raved about it!!!

:yay: It looks AMAZING!!!! I am willing to bet it won't discolor or if it does it will be minimal. I bet you it smells WONDERFUL. I am going to make it again and do as you did, make a fall soap and I will use the yellow/orange palm oil I used on mine. When my daughter saw it she said it looked like thanksgiving/Halloween (our Thanksgiving is a month earlier that you in the U.S. - in October).

Yes, those are bath bombs infront of the bath crystals.

This is my creative endeavor for the day, still no foal :embarasse . I scented the bath salts (the layered ones) lemon and tangerine while the turquoise/white ones are scented in jasmine. I used the only containers I had that I bought at the $ store.

Thank you so much!! and I will be prepared to work in "high speed"

The palm oil I used in my orange/chocolate soap was like that as well and my bars are nice and hard. Go ahead use it!

I am looking for a sea/ocean type of FO scent that works well in CP. Would you share your experiences with any you have tried? Also I see in many recipes that Orris Root is used as a fixative for the scent? Does this help in ensuring that the scent sticks. Thanks

Ruina, I certainly don't mind at all telling you how I got that shade of color. The supplies I bought to make that soap basically came from an international food store we have in Ottawa. I used shortening (crisco), coconut oil, palm oil, grapeseed oil and olive oil and superfatted with castor oil. Now the palm oil I bought from this store was not white like I got from the supplier I ordered from before (soap making supplier). When I saw it at this store I thought to myself "is this going to work" because it was quite orange. I looked at the label and there were no additives at all in it so I decided to try it and thought well I best make an orange colored soap, hence the reason I decided on the orange chocolate. Now when I melted all my hard oils I could see that it wasn't orange really but a heck of a bright yellow/orange so I decided I better add some red liquid coloring to it to get the orange I wanted and that is what I did and voila, it worked! I used liquid coloring also in my bath bombs but I have ordered the powdered and am awaiting that order. The liquid was fine for melt and pour but with my very first batch of CP soap, the one before this one, I wanted a blue swirl :embarasse and it ended up being PURPLE!!!! Not what I was expecting that's for sure, lol. I made a foot lotion with eucalyptus/spearmint and my co-workers who are my testers are all loving it! P.S. I haven't cleaned up the top of the soap yet, except for one that is in the pic behind the flower, so that caramel color will be gone and the dark brown will be the only thing showing . I just wanted to say how AWESOME this site is and the people here. I have been browsing here for a few months and reading all your posts and am so happy to have found such great wisdom and knowledge from all of you who share with us newbies. THANK YOU! I am having a BLAST!

Grandma, I think they looks wonderful they remind me of expensive marble and I love the color too. GREAT JOB!!!

and the pic of the bath cakes

Well this is my 3rd attempt at making soap, the first two were melt and pour wich got me HOOKED and of course seeing all the amazing soaps here pushed me to try my hand at CP. I AM HAVING A BLAST I made orange/chocolate soap CP and it smells OH SO GOOD! Tried swirling but I will have to work on that part of it. I also made some bath bombs, which I have dubbed "bath mini cakes" and I made those in lavender and rhasberry scent and OH LA LA. I do have a question though, some of them had what I call "warts" as they were drying, what would cause that? too wet?
