For those patcholi fans, I have to admit, the smell is starting to grow on me. I kind of like the smell of that soap! I'm more in love with the honey one though.
Madam, you had gotten a honeycomb candle awhile back... Did you like that one? I think it's one of my new favorites!

Well, they originally thought I was ADD with seasonal depression. Then when I crashed off the deep end after a few days, they said "well, you have bi-polar, that's usually how we diagnose it". But, it took a very long time to climb back down from that particular spike. They tell you that you won't see results for two weeks at the soonest, so keep taking it unless you get suicidal. So, if after three days, I went off the deep end, imagine two full weeks of that dosing without anything to bring it back down. It wasn't a fun time in my life to put it nicely.

I am so sorry that happened. I am, at times, ashamed to be associated with this profession. When done well, carefully and mindfully these treatments make all the difference in the world. When used thoughtlessly and dangerously they can ruin lives at best and cost lives at the worst.

That sounds like sarsaparilla - I loved that stuff when I lived back in Mass.. Haven't found any out here except at the health food stores for lots of money...

How do you mix it up to make the soda?

I mix a thick syrup. Then when you want to drink I mix it 5-6 parts water to 1 part syrup. We have a soda stream, so we just carbonate the water with that, but most of the people I trade it with use seltzer water if they don't have a soda stream.

I've made it with rootbeer extract, sugar and yeast. It needed a LOT of sugar to make it taste like root beer, but it did taste just like it. It really made me realize just how much sugar and crap is in store-bought soda!

Yep....I have learned that too. That's why I make my own. I have tried the whole yeast thing. It does't work for me and I can't figure out why. It is just flat.....

I like my sodas slightly flatter than you buy at the store. The extra carbonation burns, lol. That's why I hate pepsi. So maybe that's why the yeast worked so well for me, lol. I looked at the soda streams. Too expensive for my blood, plus $30 for every 60L made. $0.50/L might not sound like much, but add in costs of the syrups and you're paying more than I can buy my coke for. Obviously it's not as good for you, but since I'm not a huge soda drinker to begin with, the money goes elsewhere. Now, it'd be way worth it if I got the grape vines I want and could make sparkling grape juice!

I get the cartridge refills for $13? If you return the bottle, you get the bottle depposit back. I got it for Christmas, otherwise I think I would have been too cheap too. I can send you sparkling grape juice!!! It is just the soda I have trouble with.
