Crafty1_AJ Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Got whipped shea butter? You know, normally I don't screw things up too often, but today is just not my day. So I'm making whipped shea butter, and everything's cruising along to plan. Then I accidentally added DOUBLE the usual amount of lavender eo and vitamin E oil. Grrrr-eeeaaaattt, now I get to double the batch size I needed. I mean, seriously here, I am somewhat hard of smelling, and even *I* was gagging and getting a lavender eo headache. Now if I can only convince my customers that their choices on whipped shea butter scents are lavender, lavender, or lavender. Off to go see what else I can screw up today. Please excuse me while I go slip into a lavender-induced coma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 ok..see I would be in heaven cause I love me some lavender..ahhhh.. Can you mix something with 1/2 the batch to make it a different scent. Lavender/VanillaLavender/EucalptusLavender/MintLavender/Sandalwoodjust a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I did the same thing with creme brulee a couple of weeks ago--twice. Once with a batch of soap and then again with fbb. I finally put that bottle in the back room. Now, to find enough people that will want all this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutlandishLady Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I feel for ya, AJ. Lavender makes me want to hurl. I, of course, have never done something like that... (ah, look at my beautiful lotion, oh crap why is my scale set on ounces and not grams...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Yeah, now I'll go see if I can screw up a couple batches of lotion bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaglass Candle Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 OOH! You should add some patchouli to that! My BIGGEST seller this summer was a Lavender Patchouli blend. Even customers who don't normally like lavender or patchouli alone LOVED them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoapInTheCity Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I love lavender, but I'm sure a whole wack of it in a small container of shea butter would be a little overwhelming. I feel better when I scream how I am such a TWIT when I make soaping mistakes! Then I just have a nice laugh about how I just yelled outloud and talked to myself! LOL:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Oh I would be a tester on that FO AJ! If I could SPARE any from my own hoard! Although I don't care for lavender straight up, I like it in blends. And I adore patch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
