Hi! I am a toal newbie to soaping. But after completing my first batch last night I am toally hooked! Because of my schedule at the moment (work, kids, house) I am looking for this to be a hobbie for me but I would love for it to grow enough where I could start doing craft shows or selling locally. Maybe some day! I have question for those that have been making soaps longer than me (that would be soaping for longer than one day!). Do you prefer EO or FO for CP? and why? I have started collecting a small assortment of EO's for my basic batchs just to get the hang of things. I can see from websites that FO offer more options but I wonder what more experianced soapers have to say on the subject. Also has anyone purchased from --> http://www.essentialwholesale.com/ Also I have to tell you all that I have been snooping around these threads for a while and all your posts have inspired me to get organized and start working on my soaps. Thanks!
