lauramw71 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Candybee, you inspired me to finally make my first soap! I used the one you posted as your first, except lowered the olive oil and added cocoa butter. I did it HP, so it took dang near all day. But, I don't have anywhere to cure CP soap so it was HP for me. I love it!Now I wanna cut this bad boy! I used the silicon loaf mold from the recent co op, and Pineapple Orchid FO. I don't even have any colors yet, so it's uncolored.Should have seen me shaking while measuring the lye. HAHA I had to use two hands because I was shaking so much. Feel MUCH better now that I have my first batch under my belt. Can't wait for it to be ready to try out and see if I like it.Thanks for all the inspiration I've gotten from here!!!Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Congrats on your 1st batch Laura! I know I was nervous enough I couldn't eat the rest of the day I was so nervous and anxious. But everything turned out fine as yours will too I'm sure! Today I made my 2nd batch, a olive oil and castor oil 'bastile' soap. I wasn't nervous the way I was on my first so I'm sure you will feel better next time too!! Please show pics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauramw71 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ohhh I want to make a bastille soap! My twins just turned 13 and are starting to break out. Thought that would be great for their faces. Might have to buy one though, they'll be done with puberty before it finishes curing. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I used 90% OO and 10% castor oil. I wanted to use the castor oil cause well I just love creamy sudsy soaps made with castor. I think you should make one if you are thinking about it. You know you want to! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
