I am finding myself in love with the Grace goods from Philosophy. In searching, I see alot of yeahs for Fragrances by Design, but they are closed(??) Anyone know if they are reopening or closing for good...anyone taken on their FO's? OR....is there a better place to find Pure Grace and Amazing Grace!??! I need my fix!!! Thanks much!

Do not pass by Tenn. without getting the Vanilla Bean Noel! Considered yourself informed & educated!!! LOL It's probably the best vanilla scent in the entire world!!!

As always, you make so much sense I've been buying the base because it seemed so much easier. But, I do understand the sense of accomplishment! My first candles were ok, but the more I read and the more I played, creating a kick butt candle gives a person such a sense of accomplishment! Now...the butter subject... I've read and then it's all confusing. This does this and that does that. Ugh! It's almost like Math for me. Lalalalal (covering ears)!!! But, I am a determined person and will take your great advice and I will learn and play. Thanks for the encouraging words!!!

Thanks RNS! That is what I kind of expected the fact any additives would disrupt the base itself. I would love to make my own kick butt body butter, but that is in the future. The far, far future!

For anyone that uses KY's soy whip, do you or have you added any other ingredients? I am in love with Yes to Carrots body butter, but have a couple of containers of the soy whip, which I also love. But, I am wondering if it couldn't be more moisturizing by adding something. I'm NOT a bath n' body person and am really not familiar with all the ingredients... shea butter; kokum butter etc. Any thoughts yeah or nay are appreciated!

I LOVE the body butter and can't live w/o it now! The ingredients in this product can not be duplicated or maybe I should say, I've never come across a body butter with the natural ingredients. I did buy the shampoo and conditioner and love them as well. The only thing I've not been impressed with is the night cream. I need more moisture. I've heard rave reviews of their shower gel, but haven't tried it yet. I just wish I had a Walgreens near me!

I hope everything turns out for you! CS is one of the very best suppliers and with their great customer service, I'm sure they will make it right.

CS rocks! Awesome FO's (they just starting carrying the 4oz. size), fabulous customer service! Very Vanilla~O M G.... the bomb! If you LOVE vanilla, it's a must have. Pumpkin Souffle~I hate any kind of pumpkin, but I love this one. Hansel & Gretels~I'm not a spicy candle lover, but this one is very strong. I use CBL129 wax; 1oz per pound FO; 16oz mason's I highly recommend CS!

Gena (if she's still the owner!) has great FO's. Strong FO's! I haven't used her stuff in a while, but she's got good stuff and I never had a problem with things being OOS. EDIT: the only reason I say "if she's still the owner".... there have been so many changes, I can't keep up!

Becky is a doll and does have great customer service. I've had great luck with her oils in CBL wax. There are alot of people here that love her stuff! Have fun!!!

Personally, I like the 6oz. tureens. They are short and squatty which seems to make a difference.

I have a handful from Bert's and they rock! Super fast shipper and great customer service all the way around. BTW...what happened to Bluegrass. Are they closed now and did anyone take over their oils? I have never tried them mainly because they were generally OOS on so many oils.

Ohhhh...that Vanilla Bean Noel scent is good enough to drink!

I LOVE creme brulee and kicked myself for not getting that one during their sale. I can imagine I'd want to drink the stuff if I mixed very vanilla and creme brulee! MMMMMM

LOL.... Laura...... I have to admit, you were one of the first people I thought of! I wondered how da heck does she do this?!?! I was pouring apple slices and about lost my mind! I will buy them next time! LOL

I am so very impressed with this supplier. Every FO I've tried is strong and very good H/C throw. I poured Very Vanilla this AM and holy moly...I have the window open, the fan blowing towards the window and I can smell this throughout the house. I am a vanilla freak...can't get enough. I can't wait to test this one! It does remind me of CC's vanilla voo-doo and MC's extreme vanilla. Yumby!

WOW.....very scary indeed. Who does this crazy stuff??? Argh

Never tried Peaks, but TNC's is da bomb!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your soaps Grumpy!

Here is the description of the poo along with a poem that comes with it........... An NG Original Fragrance! This holiday season, have fun, laugh a little, and embrace a good sense of humor. That is what we did when creating Natures Garden's Reindeer Poo fragrance! This fragrance will lift your holiday spirits, and add a little magic to your life! Reindeer Poo begins with top notes of apples and pears; followed by middle notes of eucalyptus, pine, and geranium; and well-balanced with base notes of vanilla, cedarwood, and patchouli. We believe that the bubbly top notes coincide with the feeling children have when they see Santa's reindeer magically flying through the sky. We have even included a cute poem for you to use when selling this fantastically, fun fragrance! Santa saved a precious gift And it's especially for you. Just a little something extra And it comes from Rudolph, too! He knows that you've been naughty Instead of being nice. Once again you're on the bad list And he's checked it over twice. Santa hopes this little poem Doesn't throw you for a loop. All your getting this year Is a bunch of reindeer poop!

Thank you all so very much! I appreciate the info and will check them out. Have a blessed day!

Can anyone recommend a supplier that carries a plain ol' cranberry? No spicey notes, no xmassy notes, no bakery notes! Just cranberry! TIA

I want the coffee ones!!! Gorgeous candles by the way!

My hat's off to you if you pour embeds on a regular basis! This is a PITA!!!!!!! It doesn't help that I'm just messy. Argh!!!

For as long as I've been around I've read over and over.... Lonestar has the best leather.
