  1. I am developing one for my neice right now..I am using shea and hempseed, also roman chammomile
  2. awesome! how do you get the top to look like meringue?
  3. really? I needed it a while back I have people who have requested it( after yankee discontinued) I used the fragrance finder and at the time only flying witch had it.. and it really sucked.. both in the bottle and in wax..
  4. yup.. As soon as I saw that bath cookie recipe I knew it was crap:D eggs baked in there.. they bind it all together and it wont dissolve completely..dont bake it air dry, you could bake at low temp to DRY I suppose.. you still wont get a baked appearance... so I tinted it to make it look more like a cookie.. the ned reseult I got was similar to the OLD bath cubes.. remember those? Not quite as hard though..yet they may get harder they set.. try something else to be a binder... you have to have something to hold it together like the egg did...the best consistancy pre dry should be like that of wet sand..any drier and it wont shape , wetter and it will crumble later when you touch it.
  5. I like it, sometimes mistakes are good things!
  6. you sound like me.. I just modified the old bath cookie recipe... the egg it in was only used as a binder in order to bake it.. but the cooking of the protiens is what made the old one so nasty and gloppy.. i finally got it down without eggs.
  7. I have only tried China rain, plum spice and lilac.
  8. I have used bramble berry, i haev only ordered 3 scents from them thus far.. but the ones I got were great quality.
  9. I used the glyceryl cocoate, the guy I got this recipe from, told me I could use the other and reduce it to 1 TBS.. but I havent tried it out yet!
  10. a lot stick with one scent..but complimetary ones are nice esp holiday themed ones. I don't know about peppermint with warmvanilla sugar(you could rename it though!!.. but maybe with cranberry, eggnog,hot cocoa,pumpkin etc etc
  11. I used that recipe first try.. didnt care for it.. I UPPED the oil, and after it sat for about 2 weeks, it felt a lot less greasy the longer it sat.
  12. its strong.. good strong but strong.. I use 1/2 oz per lb in J223 and it does clear your sinuses! I have a lady who requests this mixed with green tea she claims it helps her sinus headaches..
  13. I havent used any from there.. I do use a roman chamomile one from another place for my DD's eczema and I love it.
  14. I am not sure about coloring lotion bars... I leave mine natural, I do use this beeswax in lotion and lip balm and I color those with no problems.
  15. yes.. this is the kind I use, natural, unbleached, its just filtered..
