What % of FO are you using?

from Old Mill now SGS.

On the Sassy Girl Scents site it is $45.00/lb:shocked2:

That is WAY outta my range.

Any suggestions?

Looks awesome. If you don't mind me asking what kind of label do you use on the oval portion cups? I have tried a few different ones and none of them look as good as yours do!

"Standard" cure time is usually quoted as 4-6 weeks. If you use a high amount of olive, that should probably be 4-6 months."

This quote is from Robin's tutorial. My question is what is considered a high amount of olive oil? and why does it need longer to cure?

If you use a high % (say 50% or more) of OO, it will most likely be soft for alot longer than a normal recipe. Fresh OO soap makes snot when wet! My high OO soaps are ready in 6 weeks but I prefer to wait 8-10 weeks.

scents from Millcreek? Preferably for B&B.

I need to place an order and need some springy scent choices.

I hope they get back their Nag Champa.. i love that FO! I will have to keep a close eye on this. The Honeysuckle Violet and Blackberry Fig sound good!

Cucumber Melon from Brambleberry. Used to be Cybilla's.

My best guess is it's not lye... it's stearic. That's a wee bit cool IMHO to be soaping with PKO. I get them on occasion too if I get my temps too low.

Give it a bit longer... that recipe takes time. But I promise it will be fine!

Abbie,

If anyone is interested in the Columbus Foods CoOp, please post your wants here.

Are we going to do a Columbus Foods CoOp?

PLEASE...... do NOT swap Scented!!!!!

Y would they? You ARE coming right?

Curious if you have an ingredient list?

Note to Self: ALWAYS remember to pour at THICK trace...

THICK is ALWAYS better:yay:

Amazing what you can get a girl to do when you light a fire under her @$$ .... I am REGISTERED!!!

:laugh2:(that last one is for Judy... just so she doesn't forget and gets practiced up!)

Tootsie Cream is a blend of EOs and crystals.

It's actually relaxing for me to make stuff.. but I am still a bit worn out. Too bad it's Monday, cuz I gotta go back to work!

I'm coming from North Carolina - 600 miles - 10 hours. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

I'm neither a Leader or a Follower ... just an observer (... and maybe a dancer this year since I already advertised it.)

A DANCE I WOULDN'T MISS FOR THE WORLD.. and the world won't miss it either... just make sure someone brings along a video cam!

Abbie....

Are there still spaces left? I am trying to talk someone into going.

She wants to go... just gotta light a fire under her A$$

Woohoo.. I can finally post to one of these!!!

After working 14+hours yesterday, I needed some relaxation. I made Tootsie Tingle Foot Cream. No matter HOW many I make, it is ALWAYS out of stock!

I also made some wax "paw" prints for a friend of mine and a shampoo bar for a friend at work.

Now it's dishes and laundry.

AND I just ordered some lye to ATTEMPT to make liquid soap.:rolleyes2

Was curious ...

how many of us order from Brambleberry?

Because IF alot of us do, maybe a CoOp would be in order for this gathering.

We might be able to save some on shipping and if some of us get the same oils, we could order a bigger size.

act like they come from Mars (maybe look it early in the a.m. ha!)

and wear a lime on their head!
