  1. Love the soap.....cute duckies, too. I really like the tub. Where did you get it? Super job on all!
  2. I love them all! That coffee scrub looks scrumptious! I really love your lotion bar holder........that is genius! Super job on all!
  3. Thanks for such nice comments, everyone. I truly appreciate them. The washcloth is crocheted. I made them for my holiday gift baskets.
  4. Been sick with bronchitis and haven't been posting in a while, but am feeling somewhat better and wanted to share a couple of soap pix. Apples and Oats - Added Ground Oats, scented with Apple & Oak FO from BNL. Emu Facial Bar - Unscented - Added Silk Fibers, Coconut Milk and a bit of DSM. Thanks for looking.
  5. I never go over 25% if I am using PKO alone. If I am using a combo of PKO and CO, then I go 17% PKO, 8% CO. I personally like the combo better, but that is just me. Hope that helps.
  6. I use the INCI names for all my bath and body products, except soap. I was told that lip balm is a cosmetic, therefore, it should be labeled as such. HTH
  7. 1-2% in leave-on products. For soaps, I use .5-.7 oz. ppo HTH:grin2:
  8. Their gorgeous! And I know they smell wonderful...I just love that scent.
  9. Say my recipe needed 9 oz of water. I would take 3 oz of that water amount, set it aside, then in the 6 oz. of water, I would dissolve my lye. Now with the 3 oz. I put aside, I would add 2-3 tablespoons of milk powder, either stick blend or whisk, beat the heck out of it so there are no clumps. I then put this in the fridge and start working on my soap. When I hit light-medium trace, I take the goat milk slurry out of the fridge, whisk it, then add it to the soap mixture. I use a slotted spoon at this point to incorporate the GM into all of the soap mixture. I then pour into the mold. HTH:cheesy2:
  10. Landa, I have used goat milk Powder and buttermilk powder in my soap. (CP) Never had a problem. I made a slurry, then I added it a trace.
  11. WOW!!!!!!!! Super job! Gorgeous! I discount all the time....but if I have a FO that is prone to accelerate, I use full water.
  12. Beautiful job, Landa. Love your soft swirls, too.
  13. I love that scent! They look so divine! I love those boxes, too. Super job, Robin!
  14. I have never made HP, yet. But I think your soaps look wonderful!
  15. Thanks, everyone! I just love makin' and creatin'!
  16. Thanks for the compliment, but no, I used shredded soap to give it the coconut effect. Thank you, too, Landa. I am very tempted to take a bite out of the GM & Honey one.
  17. This one is Goat Milk and Honey - Unscented, but smells just like honey graham crackers. Next is Spicy Lime and Coconut. And Lastly is Orange Peppercorn - With Poppy Seeds. Thanks for looking.
  18. You are so creative! Wonderful job!
  19. Wow, those sure are pretty. I love the color combo! Super Job!
