Problem Solving
Tips, Tricks & Fantastic Solutions to Common Problems!

​We all need help at times and this issue is meant for that.We have tips for formulators, soapmakers, using scrap
soap, wax melt samplers and more. You will also find help
for making butter bars and hair perfume. Don’t forget to
educate yourself on moisturizers.
Let these days of late spring inspire you to perfect your bath
and body skills and wax melt making. Read outside, drink
iced tea and indulge yourself in learning until you get the
ambition to go in and try something out. That is, unless
you’re in the southern hemisphere, then put on something
warm!
