Michi Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 and NO zap today! And it's got awesome lather already! :whoohoo:It's still pretty soft (like firm cheesecake) but I was anxious to see it. LOLAlthough it's pretty soft, it's also kinda crumbly, which is weird to me, contradictory really. Oh well.I love how the colors turned out, just wish they would have went down in the soap, but my colored portions were just too thick.Oh it's Coconut Lime Verbena from Peak, and it doesn't really smell like BBW's but it smells good and it's STRONG, think I'll use less next time.Gotta give a shout out to everyone who helped me come up with some recipes using canola oil-this is Meredith's recipe, but I plan on trying the others as well.

ladysj Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Very pretty colors and swirls!!! Nice bubbles you got going on there as well. Just curious as to whether you made a recipe that is high in canola oil I've used canola but not at a very high percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Michi, I love your colors and swirls! It turned out pretty! And glad to hear it started to firm up alot sooner than your other ones have. I bet they smell really yummy.I too have a problem with my colored portions getting really thick, so thank you Barbara for mentioning you add a little more water to them when it happens.

Do I know how to come up with recipes or not? I"m frickin' awesome. I pretty much pulled that recipe out my back side. :rolleyes2:laugh2:But seriously, I'm glad it worked out for you. Hopefully it will firm up. I like the colors. Makes me think of summer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
