Soap
Now that I have my crock pot I am ready to bang out some soap. But I'm going to have to wait for a few days. The C-Town supermarket near me used to carry lye. I saw it there when I had a clogged drain and was looking for drain cleaner. I opted for the Liquid Plumber rather than the caustic lye. (It didn't work and I had to hire someone to come and clear the clog.) When I went back now to buy lye for soap making it was gone. Very annoying. So I have ordered some sodium hydroxide from a company called Saratoga Scents. They have a variety of soap making stuff including oils, butters, and molds. I also bought some pellet bees wax and some colloidal oatmeal. I've got the dry winter skin and I hope the oatmeal will help me out when I put it in my bath. I think I'll make some bath milk with milk powder and the colloidal oatmeal. Having looked around on the web I can see that I could make my own colloidal oatmeal. We'll see how it works.

I like to order stuff from these guys - http://www.bestdeal.org/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=Essential&affil=camden
They sell wholesale to anyone! I make oatmeal bath for Kate sometimes but I have found, in her case and in my own, that honey actually heals more effectively than the oats.
Those are some good prices there. I'll have to give them a try. I like Mountain Rose Herbs 'cause they have a lot of organic stuff but this place seems pretty cool. I like that they have lots of info about the oil.
Honey is good stuff. I put it on my face as a mask.
