They also said that the micas are natural too so that is great as they offer a variety of colours and I am after a nice mauve colour for my lavender soap.

I asked my hubby to buy some from Bunnings the other day and he came home with a small container the same size as the Mechanix caustic soda from Coles. Bunnings didn't have the large blue Digger's containers. Next time I go out there I will ask them if they stock it anymore.

The coasters were a gift from Blinky. She is such a clever little vegemite. I will have to put a link to the pattern on the forum. I imagine you would be able to pick up products from Gavin.

It is used a lot in sunscreen and mineral makeup.<br /><br />I keep getting distracted by those lovely crochet flowers... did you make them? <br /><br />Supercheap sent me a $5 voucher so I was able to grab two smaller jugs for 98cents all up. Gavin lives just a few km's away from me and I keep thinking we should just drive to his shop for cheese/yogurt/soap stuff -- I have no idea if he sells from home or if it's just online though.<br /><br />-mrsmeagreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-73420660872813310012017-04-04T20:34:30.603+10:002017-04-04T20:34:30.603+10:00Love your soap journey.
