I agree!

Just found this post- thanks! It was a big help!!

I guess I did know that the oatmeal would add a scruuby texture to the soap but I actually added it to mine so it looked more Cp than M&P.

Thanks so much for this info and for the link- I will go take a look and it looks like I should buy some more bases so I can start mixing- just don't like the pastel thing!

Thanks ! I did buy the quick oats and they worked fine!

Oh My Gosh Tab! I did see the pic of your soap and I am in awe! It looks great! No wonder everyone was raving! Thank you so much for your recipe! I am honored! And yes since it turned out so great you had better get going at making more!

Thanks Ladies I will check them out too- really want to find the best price to cut down on expenses.

I will try looking at BC also- At this point in my life I can only dream of buying from Richards! LOL

I'll check out Candle Cocoon- Madison is not too far away- Thanks!

That sound very reasonable- I will take a look!

You too! I will miss her also- she was great- thanks for the link!

Hi Carol- I wanted to test the goatsmilk and I will test the 100% shea also.! Thanks for letting me test!

Thanks Soaper mom- if you have any tips I am open to suggestions! LOL

Thanks- didn't know about this board - I am off to take a look!

Ok who is that great M&P person? Any pics of her soap? She has my total admiration!

I just made my first melt & pour soap using goatsmilk base adding OMH F/O and ground oatmeal and honey- I was hoping it would turn out a nice golden honey color like others I have seen posted here but instead it is an off white-when I saw it was not going to color like I wanted it to I added a small lump of brown sugar which I think colored it a tad more- also my F/O was clear not amber colored so I know that did affect the color . There is nothing wrong with the soap- I got the oatmeal to suspend fairly evenly- it's just not the look I wanted. I did see where someone wanted to rough their M&P to make it look more like CP and some one suggested taking a spoon and spread it as it is setting. I wanted to get the last little bit of melted soap out so I reheated the last little bit and poured it on the top and of course it just laid on the top so I took a spoon and spread it around and of course it went a little lumpy so that does work- not sure if it really looks like cold pour though!

Thanks- Maybe I will try the cinnamon.

Thanks for all your help ladies- I used to buy from Ruth at Flower Patch but she went out of business so I am trying to find another supplier hopefully close so I don't have to pay astronomical shipping.

Oh My- don't want that! Maybe the F/O will color it some.

I want to make m&p using Pears & Berries F/O but want to make it a tan color - can I ad a little brewed instant coffee? or will it smell like the coffee? Thanks!

Thanks ladies !

Thanks!- I will check them too!

Thank you - it sounds like it is personal preference- I am not sure what I'll come back from the store with tomorrow! LOL

Thanks- I think I should brush up on my math skills before I do this- but I can't wait to try this!

Thank you and thanks for the tip about the caster oil!
