Subject: (sage-news) Steph's Chunky Bath Fizzies
Date: 12 Feb 2001 12:09:39 -0700
Chunky Bath Fizzies
I love chemical reactions, bath bombs, Alka-Seltzer, it just
doesn't matter. I don't know if it's those tiny effervescent bubbles
or the squeals that emit from my daughter as we throw them into the
tub. Talk about two hopeless bath tub junkies. I have done balls and
tarts, hearts and even an occasional ghost but, I guess it's my
simplistic nature (yes, I'm simple) that keeps me making chunks
instead of something more refined.
Ingredients:
12 ounces Baking Soda
6 ounces Citric Acid
2 ounces Cornstarch
20 drops of Fragrance Oil or Essential Oil
1.5 ounces Distilled Water in a spray bottle
Instructions:
Mix dry ingredients together thoroughly. Spritz lightly with water
and continue to mix, it is vital to the success of this recipe that
the water portion be added at a very slow pace otherwise it will
start to fizz. I have had the best results spritzing once or twice
and then mixing before spritzing again. You can rotate between water
and color mixture spritzing until you reach the desired range of
color. Generally it takes me approximately 1.5 ounces of fluid to
obtain the consistency needed. You want to add just enough water so
that the mixture is moist enough to hold itself together. It will
appear crumbly in the bowl but, if you pick up a handful and squeeze
it together, it should hold it's form. Next you'll want to press the
mixture into a jelly roll style pan. Let it harden for about 6-12
hours and then break it into desired size chunks and package.
Notes & Comments:
This recipe is also great for molding into small shapes.
***Hint- Adding color to this recipe can be done with ease if it is
mixed into a small amount of water and spritzed lightly into the dry
ingredients. Try a .15 cc scoop of the water soluble dyes (Lemon
Yellow Dry Color is one) and be wowed by how easy it is to color your
bath fizzies!
Hope this finds it's way to some other hopelessly addicted bath tub
junkies out there. =)
Take Care-

Subject: (sage-news) Soap Swaps Are Back On!
Date: 15 Feb 2001 09:38:16 -0700
Greetings Cyber Friends-
I have finally got my act together and I've really been excited to
get the MMS soap swaps rolling again. Lynsey ( our shipping diva)
has agreed to be my partner in crime so they'll be two of us working
on these boxes. I'm hoping that this will allow me to get the boxes
back to each of you much faster. Keep your fingers crossed...
The specific's will basically be the same as with the old swaps. We
will have a new theme for each month and the boxes will be due by the
25th of that month. I'm not going to put a limit on the participants
but you will see some recipes in the booklet that you will not
receive soaps from. Each person will need to send in eight bars of
soap and they will receive eight bars of soap in return. In the past
I have had people calling me upset that they didn't get a soap from
each person in the booklet. Just wanted to clarify this so everyone
understands. We will pick a winner from each group of eight and they
will receive a $15 gift certificate at MMS. It's been decided that
we will also give honorable mentions, we have have so many great
soaps we just have to brag about them.
Here's a brief run down of how things will be handled. If you want
to participate please send me info as follows at steph@the-sage.com.
Once I receive this you will be sent a confirmation message. Just
send the confirmation back to me, all you need to do is hit the reply
button and it will be official. Once you have your recipe finalized
please E-MAIL me a copy or you won't be included in the recipe
booklet. I need these as soon as possible so I can start to layout
the booklet. I'll do this before your soaps even arrive.
Full Name-
Mailing Address-
Phone( in case we need to contact you)
email-
** Your check for $4.50
Here are the themes for the next couple of swaps so everyone will
have plenty of time to prepare their soaps.
March- "Everything Green" Send us your best version of green soap.
No Spinach, Please!
April- " Spring Scentsations" This one will allow everyone to
incorporate their idea of what spring is all about into a bar of
soap. Get your creative juices movin!
May- " A Floral Inferno" Since May is the time of year when all the
flowers begin to wake up around here, we thought it only seemed
fitting.
If you have any questions or idea for upcoming themes drop me a note,
I'd love to hear from you.
Happy Soaping-
Stephanie
