jaybyrd Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Man, I thought I'd never finish, but I'm pretty pleased with how these turned out. Emulsified sugar and oatmeal scrub, scented with Gift of the Magi, and Milk & Honey bath soak, scented White Patchouli. Now to get them all in a flat rate box undamaged . . .:tiptoe: Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybyrd Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanks! I use a plastic kitchen funnel - the middle of a 3 size set by The Good Cook (or is it "Chef"?). Works like a dream - slides right out with a tap & a squeeze if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're so sweet! :smiley2: Thank you so much! Yep, the incense cones were in my mind, too. Maybe it's a West Coast thing, lol!The oatmeal is ground fairly fine, about a T per cup of the other dry product in the recipe. I think the finer portions dissolve when everything is stirred into the warm oils, but there are enough bits that you know it's there when using it. I was going for a smoother look rather than flaky, so to speak, and kept the sugar as the main scrubbie. Just that little bit changed the whole feel though - very conditioning & silky. I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I'll be barrowing your idea for something... Hmmm... cone shaped bath bombs...Borrow away, G'ma. You'd have died laughing at me during my first attempts - I was thinking "pyramids" and trying to use my silicone pyramid muffin mold. Yes, well, "flexible" doesn't begin to describe it - every time I tried to pack the shapes, the bloody mold flattened out. I believe my, um, comments were beginning to blister the paint on the walls. Then the household gods kindly turned on the lightbulb over my head and the rest is history.I still intend to use the pyramids, but clearly those are best reserved for pourable products. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
