Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 That idea also works with milk bath, salts etc. Put a drop on a cotton ball and place it in the jar. I also did this with some lotion bars that I didn't think were as strong as I liked. I took a cotton ball and cut it into fourths with the fragrance on them and sit them on top, just didn't push the cap all the way down. It made a difference. Have a great day you all. Really enjoy all of the ideas. I also had to run out and get rose petals. This is really an indictive hobby and costly, but I love it.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Here's another one!! To help keep your rose petals scented and smelling good in storage (I keep mine in a plastic bag in the fridge if it's going to be very long, or in plastic containers to take with me if it's fairly soon), soak a cotton ball in the EO/FO that you scented them with, and place it in the container. I read that somewhere, but don't remember where!! Works, too! Re: rose petals Sage, It has finally happened..you've lost it !!! LOLOL Though I AM glad to see someone is even more obsessed with these petal soaps than I am.... Actually, I have to say, I think your ideas are GREAT....keep them coming..

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 YOU ARE BRILLIANT!! I wanna go home from work RIGHT NOW and try all of these!! Re: rose petals Thanks Vicki, Okay, here we go.... -Dip your kid's shoelaces in M & P so they have to wash them before they can continue to use them. -Do the same with any piece of laundry left laying around the house by teens. -Dip a piece of your kid's bathing suit in M & P and let them take a bath with their bathing suit on. -Make food scented petals and keep them in the kitchen. -I read a study that said men find cinnamon to be an arousing scent. Dip some leaves in cinnamon scented M & P and get ready! -Dip some petals in a baby powder scented M & P and give to new parents to use after they change the babies diaper. -Dip some leaves, petals, or little pieces of cloth in M & P scented with some of the eos known to discourage mosquitos and other nasty little bugs and take camping. You can even save them and wash the dishes with them after the camp fire meal. -As a gift for a friend who has just bought a house, made a good (or bad) investment, or in some other way exchanged a lot of money, dip squares of paper money in M & P and scent it however you want.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Here goes nothing...(well, something, I hope ) These little petals are so sweet. They wash your hands, you know. Just use them like a bar of soap, lather, rinse and go!! How's that? ROSE PETALS O.K all you thinking people out there. Some of you are so good at wording things I am going to ask you to write me a catchy saying as to how the rose petals work.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Sage.... I've been gone for a while...May I ask what is all the rave about making rose petals? Are these made from soap shavings? Many thanks, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Sage, You are tempting me now...I walked by the Red Devil Lye in the store yesterday and it was calling me....do you have a good recipe for a soap with ground up rose petals?? That might put me over the edge... LOL Have a great weekend, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Vicki, I recently made some with plain old Castile soap. Olive oil, Red Devil, water, rose fragrance, and dried ground up rose petals. (and a bit of vitamin E) It is very nice. Really, you do not need any special recipe. Go to the library here and just choose one that suits your fancy and add the scent and roses. The thing is to be sure and ground up the rose petals small. Have fun!! ¸..·´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- Sage -:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
