    I do a TON of shopping for soap supplies online and eBates lets you get rebates at nearly every major online retailer, including Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. I literally save money just by opening up a tab in my browser via their link. I have already received a check from them within the first month so I just thought I would let you guys know about this since we soap makers and DIYers buy so much online! Plus, it's free! Yippee! :D

    Whenever Caleb and I travel, we try our best to stay in Airbnbs. It's WAY cheaper than getting hotels and are often more personalized, comfy, and unique. We literally have stayed in absolutely amazing, private homes for $35 a night! You can use the link below to get $40 travel credit when you sign up. :)

    My friends think it's sad, but I love baking my own birthday cakes. I'm a baker and I never get to decorate cakes how I want to and experiment with flavors how I want to. People always want Nutella and chocolate chips or strawberries and cream. Some will ask for lemon, rarely, and that's it. So my bday is a time to enjoy playing with food and decorations

    I think the fairy nights soap is my favorite from this release, but I've bought a few from previous releases that I wasn't sure about (because I always work Monday nights) and loved every single one. I've actually switched entirely from body wash to your soap, and I think my skin is happier.

      25 feels old when you are younger but as we age we realize that ageing process is more about how we feel then how many years pass us by. With age comes experience and knowledge and self acceptance. Ageing is a positive depending on each person's perspective 😁 You are only as old as you feel. So no 50 is not old at all in fact life is said to begin at 50 and I truly believe that's because by 50 you have totally worked yourself out. You know your likes and dislikes and what you will and won't accept. X

      I am 54 *high five* I think age 25 is a medically significant marker in aging. It is said our brain development doesn't end til age 25. Of course the capacity to learn, and to make new neural connections does not end at this age. Though it is considered the age of brain maturity (of course not exact science here) and therefore true adulthood.

    My husband and daughters are addicted to American cheesecake, plain baked cheesecake. Not the super sweet variety you get in the USA but the Australian version which has a lot less sugar (about three quarters less) and is very creamy. I baked special cakes for my kids when they were little, dinosaurs, dolls, butterflies etc. Now they're older they want bought cakes. My birthday is July 19. I'm turning 59. Katie, I think you're very accomplished for your age. You have a successful business, a lovely family of your own and no massive school debt. You are way ahead of most of your peers in having a successful life. You are independent and well grounded in the realities of life. PollyAnna is a true gift for opening the eyes to what is really important, becoming a parent amplifies that. You are stronger than ever now, both you and Caleb together.

    I feel like I can't objectively answer the question. I've got some professional pastry training and therefore I'm asked to make cakes, esp for my family. But, I'm lazy and will buy a cake from Krogers, where my husband works, instead of making something. Before I went to pastry school, I'd frequently just box cake stuff. But, now it feels so dirty to use a premix. Like 'You know how to do this, don't be lazy'. So, I end up just doing neither for stuff.

    I really love your work. Here in Brazil there are just a few people that make CP soap. The melt and pour is more what they do. I'm almost the only CP soap maker here and I learn a lot with you and other CP soapers. There's an interesting thing about soap making here, we don't have micas and the fragrance oils are very expensive, then I use clays and natural things that I find here. I love your designers but it's difficult to make them without micas. Then I make soaps that have lots of skin benefits, we call it medicinal soaps. So I focus on the benefits instead on designers. Sorry for my bad English😅 but all of this was to tell you that you have a fan here and I'd love to try some colorful soaps some day. Thanks for share your knowledge😘
