Yeah, I try to rename mine. Some that I have renamed:

Midnight Pomegranate is now Dark Rapture

Cotton Candy is now Clownin' Around

Watermelon is now Summer Days

Sandalwood is now Hippie Daze

Just to name a few that I have renamed. The Dark Rapture is my biggest seller right next to French Vanilla Pear (I am trying to come up with a new name for that one but haven't caught on to a good one yet)

Yeah, I am going for the songs with color names in them. My next one is Purple Rain and I will use the Grape Pop for it Just have to figure a good fragrance for it.

I love the black and white one!

My aunt said the same thing, my very very simple answer was you can't have soap with out lye. I then was a further smart ars and said so I suppose you have not ever used a bar of soap in your entire 60 years of existence LOL!

Angi

I have made it but only as a special request from someone who didn't mind paying a higher price for soap.

Angi

Here is the mold I used:

I don't have to cut so I absolutely love it! Each mold only makes the 4 bars and I use a 16oz recipe. I don't mind doing smaller batches but I now have 6 of these molds and keep on adding more. I do have to let the soaps sit for about 5 days before they are hard enough to pop out. I tried it earlier than that and the bottoms were too soft and messed up.

I bought the guiness for my husband and he didn't like it, I'm not a beer drinker so he was fixing to pour these 8 bottles of beer down the drain until I yelled STOP!! I can make SOAP!

He just looked at me :undecided

LOL

Angi

The beer soap is so super easy. Except it stinks to high heaven when you mix in the lye lol! I don't wait for the beer to go flat, I just pour the lye in very slowly and have had no issues with it.

Angi

I have a couple of new soaps on the curing rack. Going to be making some more! Forgive the pictures, I suck at them lol. The last soap looks like a bar of cookies and cream ice cream

Spearmint Guiness Soap

Spearmint Guiness Soap with Poppy Seeds

Cocoa Butter Coffee Bar

Those candles with the gel chunks and white overlay are made by a few other companies as well that I have seen online.

Angi

I purchase templates from here:

http://www.freiscavell.com/

She has her labels listed with pictures of the actual jars and bottles which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It helped me in so many ways.

My label is actually my logo that I had someone create for me so that was very easy too.

I do have 2 fragrances (Hippie Daze, Groovy Patchouli) that I am going to make labels for that are 60ish with bright colors so that will take me a bit since I won't be using my logo.

Angi

The recipe I use is very very simple,

75% coconut oil

25% shea butter

Easy peasy.

Angi

I live by my Printmaster program. I don't use it online so no issues for me. I was also able to find some really cheap templates that I purchased for the size of bottles and jars that I have. They were a God send and worth the $3 each I spent on them I finally love the labels I am using!

Two examples:

I'm not that great at photos but you can get the general idea

Angi

WSP has them too. That is where I got mine from.

Angi

I don't wear them. Why, who knows, I just don't. But I certainly do not need the lectures going on here about the dangers and the implications that those of us who don't wear them are bad people (notice I said implications because it is being implied but not outright stated). I know the dangers and I still choose to go the way that I do. Nothing anyone says here could steer me into a different direction unless it is a direction I choose to go in

Angi

I love them! The dog is adorable and the cake looks scrumptious too:yay:

Angi

Those are already filled tubes. I wonder where you can get the empty ones?

Angi

I put my palm wax in those 1oz and 2oz ellipso containers and call them wax zingers. Now the funny part is evidently when you go googling for zingers, male enhancement products pop up:shocked2: along with my tarts LOL!

I found this out from one of the selling venues I am on who has that google thing where you can see what people are searching for when they come to your site. I about cracked up when I saw that!

Angi

No, those are 1oz tubes and these mini lip balm ones that are pictured are only 3grams.

Angi

Maybe he has like a stalker he can't get rid of and is thinking if he bathes in this he could get rid of em.....well, not bathing could probably do the trick too.

Maybe he read somewhere that garlic is the new aphrodisiac. Or maybe his stalker is a vampire and he wants em nowhere near him.

It is still odd!

Angi

I really like those! I wish I knew where to find them at.

Angi

Only thing for me is I am not sure the exact size. I know I want the ones in that picture but for ordering purposes I have no clue which one to order

Angi

I love their goat milk base and that is what I use. Very moisturizing, bubbly and I have had no issues of the soap being soft enough to put your finger in it.

Angi

I've been searching for those as well for awhile now and can't seem to find em
