Thank you!! I hope it works out for you 🥰

Thank you so much for the comment! I hope you love the recipe!!

I can't wait to hear about it!! I hope it works well for you. 🥰 Lye can be so intimidating! How did it feel when you did it? Once you get your first few batches of soap out of the way, it will feel like second nature. 😊 Thank you for watching and your comment. ☺️

It is a Canadian link so that may be the reason! This is also a pretty old video and I do not have a current subscription to WW anymore. I apologize for the inconvenience but thank you so much for watching and your comment. 🥰

I would definitely redo it if you are noticing a smell. It can take a few renders to get it odorless. I personally think that the dry rendering leaves a scent behind but there are people who swear by it! Thank you for your comment 🥰

Hello! Thank you for your comment! I would say they last 4-6 months but you could prolong it if you pack them airtight after they have had a chance to cure. If you are wanting a stronger scent, I would infuse the tallow as well 🥰 Here is a link to my coffee soap where I infused it. ua-cam.com/video/4iJSABbwUVk/v-deo.htmlsi=cdwxYjw2ky3eySt9 Here is a link to how to infuse tallow ua-cam.com/video/8TFB3oG9RAo/v-deo.htmlsi=5cpGWMsyGIknAD7x Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the comment! It is very lightly scented, but scented nonetheless. Coffee essential oil would be lovely if you are looking to boost the fragrance 😊 the top turned white due to soda ash. It happens sometimes 🤷 but it is harmless 😊 this post explains it well and different strategies to manage it if you don't like it. angelapalmer.com/why-does-my-soap-have-white-film-on-top/

Thank you so much! I hope it turns out awesome!! Let me know how it goes ☺️ Thank you for the comment 😊

Thank you so much for the kind comment 😊 I have not personally tried sheep tallow, however it is on my list to try! I can't see why it would be any different in skin care! If you plan to use it in soap making, make sure you run it through a soap calculator as you want to make sure the lye ratio is safe for skin. 😊 www.soapcalc.net/info/helptext.asp Thank you again for the comment!

Thanks for your prompt answer. I will definitely use the soap calculator for the soap and give it a go. As for your tallow skin cream, is it by any chance greasy and would it melt in high temperatures?

@@thebest41or2 I do not find it to be greasy at all but it does depend on the oil you mix it with and the quality of your tallow. If you are finding it to be a concern, you could try adding a small amount of arrowroot powder (I am talking 1/8 of a teaspoon to start) and scaling up from there. :)

Thank you so much!! 🥰 I don't find it dries out my skin (my skin feels way less dry now that I've stopped all soaps from the store) however, if you are new to handmade soaps, it takes a bit for your skin to adjust to making its own oils again lol This can make you feel a bit squeaky at first. Of course if you are sensitive to an ingredient, use a different formula omitting it. 😊 Thanks again!!

My ex husband won’t use anything except my handmade soap, because he says that’s the only soap that doesn’t dry him out. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for the comment! I have thought about that and it is on my to do list to try. My only concern would be potential burning or stinging. If you do try it, let me know, and I'll do some experiments as well. 🥰

Hello! Thank you for the kind comment 🥰 I am sorry to hear about the eczema. It is so terrible to go through. Sweet almond oil would be lovely I'm sure!! You may need to play around with some different oils to find what works best for your skin! Also, I'm not sure if you've ever heard of wet wrapping but it has saved us many an itchy night. Here is an article on how to do it. On hands and feet I use thin wet socks (like they suggest in the article) and thick dry socks over top. Of course make sure you talk to a doctor about it but we really love it!! nationaleczema.org/eczema/treatment/wet-wrap-therapy/ Thanks again for your comment and I hope it works well ☺️

I am so glad you enjoyed it!! I hope it works out well for you 🥰 Thank you for the comment 😊

Thanks Cody 😊

Hello! Thank you for the comment 😊 the zinc oxide (non nano) is used to neutralize the odor. You could leave it out but it wouldn't be effective in stopping the smell. It would be more like a lotion. The Arrowroot would help it to be less greasy overall though 😀 If you are wanting to make your own products long term, it may be worth it to buy the zinc. amzn.to/4fY00uz Thank you so much!!

@ ohhhhh! 💡 Thank you so much!!!

I hope it works for you 😊

I'm happy to hear it went well overall! I would definitely experiment with different recipes or ingredients as you could be sensitive to some of them (always ensure you are using a soap calculator.) Learning the soap calculator would be very helpful!! Thank you for your comment 😊

It CAN, but most people will increase the superfat to counter that.

Hello! Thank you for the comment! This would be the perfect question for a soap calculator 😊 soapcalc.net/info/helptext.asp I hope your soap turns out well 🥰

@@calmactivemom you r wonderful i love u thanks so much

Hello! I would always recommend talking to a physician before any new product use 😊 Each individual case is different 🙂 Thank you for your comment!

The root cause of eczema or psoriasis is food related, mostly dairy but topicals can help relieve symptoms but not get rid of it.

@@PrimalPathWellness Also allergy to wheat.

@@MM-op6ys yes! that also

@@PrimalPathWellness 😀

Hello! Thank you for the comment! I have never experienced it being greasy. It always soaks right in to my skin 🥰

That is awesome to hear!! I hope it turns out well for you 🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you for the kind words! I am so glad you loved the recipes.🥰

@calmactivemom I love everything you put out, and I can't wait to order your e-book. Are these recipes in it??

These recipes will be in it, although you can find the free download here: calmactivemom.com/flavoured-salt-recipes/ as well. 😊 I was counting out how many recipes I have in the book and there are over 60! 😁

Also, is there anything specifically you would be interested in seeing, content wise? You are always so engaged and I value your opinion. 🥰

@@calmactivemom I love everything you put out, I know that makes it harder for you. If you upload it, I'll be right here girl. I love your content, I am a very frugal person so anything that saves money I'm there 😆. If you have any homemade hygiene or laundry soap type stuff to share that would be great, but anything really I just love your channel.

Thank you so much! I hope you have a happy New Year! I appreciate the support. 🥰

Totally agree!!

While it can be a pain to clean them, once they are clean, they are good as new! I always soak my utensils and bowls in hot soapy water after I have wiped them down with a paper towel. (I would suggest keeping your gloves on the whole time as it can still burn you until it is cured.) Any of the lye tools go straight into my dishwasher in a part that is not easy to disturb and won't be touched. I hope this helps! Thank you for the comment 😊

Thank you for your comment! I totally understand the hesitancy of using lye. It can be intimidating! Unfortunately, you need it to saponify the oils. If you didn't, you would have a lump of oils (which would be nourishing!) but wouldn't be a soap bar. I hope this helps!

No true soap is made without sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide (both forms of lye).

Italian and ranch mix sound so good! I've never thought to save meat pan drippings but that is also a good tip! Thank you for the comment 😊

@@calmactivemom I'll be 72 this month I know all the old school tricks. Wasting is a sin is what I was taught since a kid. I like saving money, too. :o)

We are on a septic system. I do not currently make my own, but I have been considering it! I will work on it and test it. 😊

Thank you for your comment! 🥰 I hope you love the soup 😊

@ I really appreciate I’m struggling here took out a ham bone added some water bay leaf seasoning.. then your vidio popped up. I figured I’d turned off all the listening devices on my phone but I figure they read our minds now.. I was hoping I might have a bit of skim milk powder left but changes are it’s gone smfh anyway I thought about using the one percent you very I had I found some more potatoes that aren’t rotten so sad

Hey! Thanks for the comment. I used jars as I try to limit waste as much as I can and I haven't found reusable bags that don't start to smell after a while. You are free to use a baggie as I mentioned in the video. 😊

I totally get that!! Unfortunately we are unable to have dairy so silk was the best alternative. Thank you for your comment!

Thank you! I really appreciate you noticing 🥰

Thank you 🥰😭 I appreciate the kind words. Please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see!!

Thank you so much!! It was all very tasty! I will definitely be making it all again. Thank you souch for watching 🥰 let me know if you make any of them. ☺️

Thank you for your kind words!! It was a monstrosity but it was one of the best baked goods I've ever made lol 😆 let me know if you try any of them!! Thank you for watching. 🥰

That is amazing timing!! I hope you love them! 🥰 Thank you for watching and the kind words. ☺️

@calmactivemom more than welcome sweetie, I know I'm gonna love em if you made them I know they're amazing. Merry Christmas to you and your family

That is so funny! Our mind can play tricks on us sometimes. 🤣 I am so glad to hear you feel confident in it now!! Thank you for your kind words. 🥰 Let me know how your soap making goes!!

Thank you for your comment! As with any ingredient, sourcing the highest quality you can is always important. If an ingredient doesn't agree with you or you don't want to use it, substitute with whatever ingredient (in this case a bouillon) that you enjoy. Thank you for watching!

Hello! Thank you for the comment! So far I have had zero issues using this as a shampoo bar. I will sometimes finish with a apple cider vinegar rinse but I have been looking into making a shampoo bar! Have you made them before? Thank you for your comment. 😊

@calmactivemom i have made them. I learned from a UA-camr. I think it's honeybee. I can't remember now. They are so so so easy to make. I'm actually working on a really crazy formula I came up with that is totally different than anything out there. It is not a soap bar or a shampoo bar but something like a hybrid. The process is really cool. I will be doing an experiment later this week. Wish me luck🫰🫰🫰

@@axolotllifeaquatics4492those are great if you can use SCI, but not everyone can. I can’t use any coconut or derived products.

Wow, those sound so incredibly unique!! Do you make your own premixes or mix peanut butter and jelly into cooked rice? I am very intrigued!!

@ I eat mostly rice since I got sick a few years ago, and I wanted to not be bored. For the pumpkin,I used pumpkin pie filling, raisins and maple syrup. For pb&j, add them in the middle of cooking. For the cranberry, add a can of cranberry sauce at the start. For the last, brown your pork(ground or chunked and add to rice while cooking. Add greenbeans in the last 5 minutes. People don’t realize how versatile is.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Allergies are so tricky! I have had good success with sunflower oil (if seed oils are ok?) Just make sure to run it through a soap calculator first! soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcwp.asp Thank you for watching! 🥰

Hello! Thank you for your comment :) I have read that fully rendered tallow that has been sealed correctly and in a deep freezer, should last forever. I have not tried this out and I'm not sure I would trust 20 year old anything lol 😆 Your best bet may be to try and render a new batch. Hope this helps!

Obviously I am biased, but the smokey BBQ rice is one of the best rices I've ever made lol I am very curious to hear your thoughts if you do try some! Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment 🥰

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I wrote the amounts in this blog post. 😊 calmactivemom.com/how-to-make-tallow-for-skincare-or-eating/ I hope that helps! Let me know how it goes. ☺️ Thank you for watching!!

Yes! Online is a great option! I haven't been able to find any locally (with a good price tag lol) Is there a brand you've used that you really like? Thank you for watching!!

I hope you love them!! Let me know how it goes :)

That is amazing! Homemade salsa is the best (even better in winter! )

I will be sure to include it in my ebook along with the coconut rice! Thank you for the idea!!

@@calmactivemom that's one of the few mixes I pick up occasionally, but I rarely buy pre-made boxed anything.

I make what I call fiesta rice- cook your rice and add salsa. If it’s too spicy add a bit of ranch dressing

That sounds so tasty! With homemade salsa? YUM!! Thanks for the tip 😄

That is awesome! It's a huge accomplishment to make most of your food from scratch! 😎
