Title: hello, new to all this Post by: sam1 on February 21, 2011, 05:55:37 PM Hi everyone, not only am I new to this forum but I'm new to forums in general. Not really sure how it all works but sure I will get there in the end.
Just making products for myself and for friends at the moment, love doing it. It's kind of addictive, need a second kitchen really and a large storage area for all the bits :D Make lots of bth bombs, melts and m&p soap, also very into aromatherapy oils etc and in the process of doing a herbal medicine course. Recently attempted cold process soap but first try not so good. Never mind, will give it another go. Always on the lookout for tips, advice and interesting shaped moulds. Thanks for reading Title: Re: hello, new to all this Post by: abrit on February 21, 2011, 05:58:16 PM Hello and welcome! I'm new too - and don't give up on the CP soap! (:hug:)

Title: Re: hello, new to all this Post by: halfabubbleoffplumb on February 21, 2011, 10:35:56 PM Sam! welcome to the forum - any questions, just ask - this was my first forum, too :) oh, and with the CP first attempt - if you got the recipe from a book, that could be why it didn't work out. the recipes in books are not always (never? :mwaha:) very reliable. so, no worries, we'll help you along.

Wishing you lots of fun, and yes, it is totally addictive ;D Theresa Title: Re: hello, new to all this Post by: Hayley on February 24, 2011, 10:10:02 AM Hi and welcome

Title: Re: hello, new to all this Post by: sam1 on February 27, 2011, 07:05:29 PM thank you, everyone is very welcoming. More about the herbs when I do my final exam, sometime in the next few weeks. In the meantime I'm on the look out for a nice and not too complicated recipe for cp soap. Can anyone help please? The book I have is a little complicated for a novice like me.
Title: Re: hello, new to all this Post by: Andy on February 27, 2011, 07:18:11 PM Hello and welcome.
Besides pics, you could share your knowledge of herbs! ;D Easiest CP recipes would be with any soft oil (I love olive oil), coconut and palm oils. Work out your recipe in soapcalc: http://www.soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp (http://www.soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp) and post some pics later! Title: Re: hello, new to all this Post by: sam1 on March 01, 2011, 12:38:52 PM Brilliant, thank you for the link. Will try to experiment this weekend
