  1. I just have to say I just try this (the original one on the first page) and I have to say this is fantastic!!! I didnt use the honey, I used the shealoe butter I just got from the co-op instead, added 3 Tbsp of brown sugar instead of 2 Tbsp. I used my M&P soap I made about a month ago and used rice bran oil for the lite oil. My skin has never felt this good!!! I used it on my hands and half way up my forearm. You can deff feel the difference in my skin when I rub my hand up my arm. I can totally tell where I had stopped. I normally have dry skin from head to toe so I cant wait to use this in the shower tonight. I know the list would be really long if I were going to sell this but it is a good starting point to see what I want my sugar scrub to be like. So I can hopefully come up with a receipt that will be this good. Thanks so much!!!
  2. I know I am a little late to this but thought I would give my 2 cents. I love this scent, I was burning it yesterday in fact. But only one other person that I have let smell this actually likes it. But anyways, I have been calling it Autumn Spice. This is what it smells like to me. Very woodsy to me with lots of musk. It has an undertone of spice that I really like. I dont smell at all the apple, lemon/citrus. Sorry if this is no help but I really like the name Autumn Sunset. The scent does make me think of sitting out side watching the sun going down, a cool breezy in the air ruffling the bright beautifully color leaves. But this is just me and everyone nose can be different. But if you are not sure what to call it why not name it something like Mysterious Nights or something along those lines. Sometimes it is better to not give it a name that defines it, so that way people can make up there own mind when they smell it. Sorry if this is no help. GL
  3. Ok well I couldnt wait a week to try this soap, but I just washed my hands with it so far, it smells way to good. But I think i really like this recipe a lot better then my other one. My hands feel so silky like I just lathered up with lotion. And it had a lot more suds then I thought. I really cant wait to try this in the shower!!! Thanks guys for helping me out, it was greatly appreciated!!! But I do have another question, how do you guys get the layers to stay together? I tried the spray with alcohol and scoring the top of the first layer (I did this with a fork). But most of mine are coming about, not bad to where they are breaking apart but around the edges they are lifting apart. I hope I explained this right? Well anyway thanks so much.
  4. Thanks so much for your help also. I did make a batch of soap last night (with the new soap boxes DH made me:bliss:), and change it up some. I did tilted layers of goats milk base and clear base and changed some of my oils, added 2 tbsp of goats milk (per lb), and also added shea butter. I tried a small piece of it this morning and I am not sure if I like it. The lather was nice a creamy but there wasnt very many suds. But my skin feel amazing!!! I have so much dry skin in the winter time especially on my hands, and I have none showing right now and I didnt even put lotion on!!! I am going to let it sit out for about a week before I try it again so that way it can harden up. It is pretty soft right now, but then again my soap are usually soft for a few days. Well thanks guys for helping me out, it is greatly appreciated!!! You guys are the best!!!
  5. Ok thanks so much for your help again!!
  6. Ok thanks so much for your help! I will give it a try for a few weeks and see how it goes. I have my DH outside right now making me so soap log mold a 1 1/2 lb mold and a 2 1/2 lb mold (at least we think this is what it will be). I am so excited I cant wait for him to finish and then I can make some soap that is actually the right size bars. All this time I have been using the boxes that the velvetta cheese comes in. And while they work great I would really like to have a full bar and that way I can see how long it last in the shower. Again thanks so much
  7. Hey thanks so much!!! I will have to give it another try. It is funny that you like Dove, it is the one I really like and pretty much the only one I use. I do all ready add 1 tbsp of goats milk to my recipe, are you saying to add another 1 tbsp of it? Thanks again
  8. Ok so I have found finally come up with a soap recipe that I really like. Me and DH have only used it for washing our hands and have really loved it. The soap is the perfect hardness (I have made a few Really Really hard bars that were horrible), my skins feels great after washing, it suds up great. But the problem is I took it into the shower with me to washed my body (I am not a bar soap gal, I have only used liquid soap for the shower for the longest time) and everything was great I washed, then rinsed and then I noticed my skin felt very tight, like it was really dry. So I finish up in the shower and after I get out and dry off my skin feels great!! The tightness/dryness is gone and my skin feels very smooth!! So what do you think is wrong with my soap? I cant see anyone happy about that dry feeling once you rinse off. I mean it was really tight/dry, like to the point it hurt. I dont get the same feeling when Im washing my hands. Ok so here is my recipe of what I use per 1 lb SFIC base: 1 tbsp Goats Milk 1 tbsp Olive Oil 2 tsp Sweet Almond Oil 1 tsp Castor Oil 1-2 tsp FO And sometimes I will add About 1 tsp ground coffee About 1 tsp Oatmeal The bar I took in the shower had all of these things including the oatmeal and coffee, and the base was shea butter base. So what do you think I should be using that I am not or instead of. I have lots of different oils on hand and shea-refined, mango, and cocoa butter-deodorized (I dont really like to use the cocoa butter in my soap because it makes a really hard bar for me). Thanks so much for any help anyone can give me.
  9. Can anyone that is using the pop micas from TKB tell me how long the 1 oz samples will last. I was thinking about ordering the Pop Sample Pack that comes with Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon Drop, Grape, Tangerine and Apple Green. I was going to get the 1 oz size of each and I was wondering how long 1 oz would last me. And also do you guys use the black mica or the Pearl White Mica? If so how did you guys like them? Thanks for any help anyone can give me!!!
  10. Hey I was wondering if you had a chance to use your soap yet? If so how is it? Thanks
  11. Holy Crap!!! Those are gorgeous!! I really love that first one but they all look fantastic!! I cant wait to see the other ones cut!!
  12. Very pretty!! I really like these a lot!!
  13. This is the same way my DH is with EQ. He has played it for years and when he is doing a raid it is like the world around him is no longer there. Drives me insane half the time. I play to but no where near the amount he plays, and if I do play I only get on for a few hours.
  14. Wow I just love your swirls!! And I love the colors!!
