Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hi Jill, Thanks for the jump roping suggestion. I thought about that but didn't know if I'd be able to do the interval training without killing myself. Its good to hear that you've been able to improve to all running as I also HATE to run. Knowing you could do it will help inspire me as I continue to make progress. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a bunch of gel candles in wine glasses last xmas and gave a lot for gifts. embedded things in them. they turned out beautiful. problem is...... I used wicks with wire in them so they would be stiff in gel..... and they rusted after about 6 months. turned the clear gels cloudy. still have some more gel, need to find different wick. just thought I'd mention so you gel candle makers would be warned about those wire core wicks. I even saw some of that wick with a gel candle kit. guess the moisture content in gel doesn't work with wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 I'm also a newbie, just made my first attempts at bath salts and bath bombs.. I've really been having fun with this!! I'm wondering if it's necessary to measure your salts into specific proportions or can you just add whatever amounts you want when your doing a blend of salts? Also, one day when I get REALLY brave, I'd like to try making soap, not the glycerin type, does anyone have an easy recipe for a beginner. Thanks Gaye °Ü° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you could just put in a bit of this and a bit of that, but what if it turns out great and you don't remember exactly what you put in it? So, when you are putting in a bit of this and that, just make sure you write it down! Ultimately you will want to weigh your ingredients and figure in percentages so that you can be more accurate in your calculations, but for starters using volume measurement is probably fine. Then at some point you can convert your volume measurements to weight. I would definitely recommend that you keep good records of everything that you make---even if it turns out wrong---that way you will be able to look back and see what you have done. It can be really simple--I keep mine in notebooks by the date that it was made and use that code on all my finished products. Welcome to the group, there are lots of nice folks here. Have fun.

If you go to the bottom of this page you will see an address there for the library and lots of recipes. I would choose one that just had a few ingredients to start. Do you want pure vegetable soaps or ones with some animal product? Some of are die-hard veggies and others enjoy the extra qualities animal products bring to soap. A while back a beginner wrote that she had started by using one simple recipe and made it twice, once using tallow (animal fat) and once with olive oil, I believe it was. I thought that was a great way to learn first hand about the differences the type of oil will make in your final product. Good luck and have fun. :-)) Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
