Hi Jen!!

A very warm welcome to the forum.  There are some fantastically gifted peeps around here, some new and some really experienced in the craft and everyone has something to give, some new slant and are incredibly inspirational. 

Keep posting Jen, there are more boards you can't see just yet but will open up to you.  Also, do have a look on the main site as there is plenty in resources and even more in the community, kindly submitted by other members (if you are not registered to the main site, it might be a good idea as there are resources that you can't see until you are logged in  :)

Anyway, good to have you here and I hope you find it useful

As a newbie I've been doing alot of research and trying to find a niche. The plan is to go into shea butter soaps using the unrefined stuff (not sure it's a good idea). I've made a few trial batches of CP plus 1 botch batch, nothing special compared to what I've seen on this site. I'll try post pics.
I'm from Manchester.

Hi Jen, Didn't know they had a soap research dept at UMIST :) I work at Lancaster Uni in the Engineering dept. I'm a newbie on this forum - well any forum actually - and just looking around. So good to find another Northern English member! (this is where you tell me you're just studying there and you're from Brighton or the States or somewhere! I'm looking to sort out eczema with an oil blend at the moment - too many choices to make  :) Ah well, more reading to do . . . Paul

Hmm - dunno really, wrong side of the Pennines, wrong colour rose and all that - but right side of the Mersey/Trent divide!

Sorry, Michaela, thought you were from that area and might object to me using that as an example . . . lets start again  :)

By the way, 62 means the motorway M62 across the great divide - Penine hills - from Lancashire to Yorkshire . . .
