Teach Soap

OT section. Sound good?

Would that stand for Over the Top Section... But all joking aside I think you are right not to get to complicated with the forum as you will end up with posts all over the place and some forum members not quite knowing where they are meant to be posting and then giving the mods a pain of a job to move post and topics.

The way I was looking at it; "New Trends" would be new and upcoming fun things to do, and "Off Topic" would be just that, off topic, for posts that don't fit anywhere else.

Could New Trends have candles in it? The reasoning behind the forum is good, and simple. Over the past month or so, the forum seems to be getting more active, which is super! Thanks for all your thinking on it, mods!

Sorry, Emily! We didn't mean to take over your thread. So sorry!

To make it up to you, I'd like to share you a different technique for your plumeria soap. I learned this from Gail of CJ Works here in Oahu.

To do this, just make your soap as usual, get some micas (you can even use old but still good eyeshadows if you don't have any micas) and round brushes (like an eyeshadow or blush brush). 1. Pick up some mica with your brush (just like you would if you were going to apply it to yourself), 2. tap gently against the side of the container to remove excess mica then 3. dab gently to the area you want it to go on. Don't brush the mica on too hard or you'll get bald spots and heavy areas just like you would if you were applying this to your eyelids. Wipe your brush with a paper towel repeatedly to remove the remaining mica - don't wash or dip it in water! Repeat steps 1 through 3 with your second color. Wait an hour or two before wrapping your soaps and avoid touching the top as much as possible to avoid smearing the mica. Voila! A totally different look to your soaps!

Hope you like this...
