I just made a loaf of soap w milk and honey and after checking it 30 hrs later seen it is only partially gelled. I made it in a wooden loaf mold. Is it to late to put it in the oven at 170 to try and get it to gel all the way??? Thans.

Hi,

In my humble opinion, the website where they sell the fragrances now is too dark. I tried to buy once, and the format was just too heavy. On the other hand, I think your business is amazing. I wish you the best!

Can I use actual coconut oil or does it have to specifically be Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate? Are they the same thing?

I'll bet it would work to just boil the bottles, in the same manner that one sterilizes canning jars.

Kelly: This is a wonderful post. You share with such eloquence and honesty the projects you started and stopped. The example you set is valuable for all of us -- failure is a good thing. It inspires new creativity, allows us to learn new things, and creates the platform needed to grow the successful things. You are inspiring me to write a post about my failures. I have learned so much and I don't fear it.

Just read this & my heart goes out to you, Kelly! Been there...done that! What a bitch to go through. The bright side is that there is a bright side. It can be the most difficult AND the best thing in your life. I'm sure you will come through it smelling like a rose...or whatever your favorite fragrance is. Hang in there, girl.
