    I have used it in my last two batches and so far I love it. The soaps haven't fully cured yet, but they lather very nicely.

    I can't recommend enough the Soaping101 channel on youtube. Catherine has been posting soaping videos for over a year now, and they are excellent. She also has a Bastille recipe that's very easy and simple. She is also on FB under Soaping 101. You will learn a lot from her videos.

    I am going to order shrink wrap tubing for my soaps. You can leave the ends open for people to sniff, and it still protects the bars. You can slap your label right on top. This place ships for free.... http://www.packcoinc.com/heat-shrink-tubing.html

    Quote: CJ, glad you mentioned that because I am going to do a lavender soap soon, using BB FO though, but I'll be watching for a fast trace! PS--What is "Watson's" book?

    I would love to try a swap. I made my first batch the other day. I used Cheeptricks GM recipe, cut in half. I swapped out 4 oz of OO and replaced with 4 oz cocoa butter. (ran it thru soapcalc of course) Kept my froz GM in an ice-bath while adding NAOH and got no discoloring. Didn't add oatmeal...

    You know, my problem is, there are SO many good recipes out there, that I just can't pick one and just DO IT ! Cheeptrick, you posted your GM recipe on post # 78. I think I wil use that one, except I will cut it half. Will let you know how it turns out.

    and the e-book is mostly what you are paying for, I though I would offer to send anyone a copy who would like one. Do you really think you should be giving away copyrighted material for free?? Yeah, you're right. I though it would be more like sharing. But probably not a good idea. Sorry.

    Hi Everyone! I recently purchased BrambleBerry's Color with Confidence Starter Kit. http://www.brambleberry.com/Color-with-Confidence-Starter-Kit-P4682.aspx since the kit was so expensive, and the e-book is mostly what you are paying for, I though I would offer to send anyone a copy who would...

    Thanks Morgaine, after thinking it over, I don't think I will use this recipe after all. There are lots of great recipes out there for GM soap that are more balanced and use better oils. I think I will go with one of those.

    Have any of you read Casey Makela's book "Milk Based Soaps" ? She uses A LOT of milk in her recipes. On page 52 she states: "Well-made milk soap is created with the maximum amount of milk that can be included in proportion to the lye and fat used per batch, not just a smattering of the...

    OK friends, here goes....... Here is my first attempt at making a label for my soaps. Please give me some critique. I don't really like the fonts ( eccept for the one with my name) I'd like to find something softer, but not frilly. Hopefully, I can find some pretty background paper ( like yours...

    Quote: Thanks BB!. I did find a cute baby goat outline on google somewhere..... maybe I can use that and the pretty paper like you did. Are the paper and label separate, or all in one? Ie, do you stick the label on whatever paper you fancy, or do you print it all together?

    Did someone say that Bramble Berry gives free FO samples with your order? Do you have to ask for them? I got an order from them of Palm oil and there wasn't a sample.Of course, I didn't ask for one either. But how do you ask for one when you do an online order? Also, I am trying to design a...

    Thank you ! Yes GPuppy, I was thinking of putting it into smaller batches after I melt it down. And no, it doesn't say homogenized on the label. I will melt it today after work and then put into containers. Hope to be joining all of you soon in the wonderful world of soap!!!!

    Soap Makers Help!

    Hello Soapy Ladies ! I have a question for you. I have a 7 pound bag of palm oil from BB. I seem to recall reading somewhere ( can't remember where exactly, been reading WAY too much about soap lately), that you have to melt it down and sort of mix the whole thing as the oil separates. Mine...
