Some of your recipe links don't work

Hi, I found your site at random and thinks its such a neat site. Very helpful!!! I am interested in trying some of your recipes. I am writing because I can't seem to click on some of your recipes. Are the links broken? I really wanted to learn more about your Rum Runner Soap, the Sambuca rose, and the fresh soap one. What are the scented with? Could you fix the links? Also do you have a customer favorite you could suggest I try to make for my friends?

Answer:

Hi Mary,

It's not that the links are broken or don't work :)

The pictures are for recipes that I will be adding in the future.

I can give you a heads up on the scents:
Rum Runner is scented with 5 tsp Bay Rum f/o; 2 tsp Sweet Orange e/o; 1/2 tsp Clove e/o and 1/4 tsp Patchouli e/o.

Fresh! is scented with 6 tsp Lavender e/o; 1 tsp Rosemary e/o and 1 tsp Eucalyptus e/o.

Sambuca Rose is scented with 1/2 tsp Anise e/o; 1/2 tsp Sweet Fennel e/o; 2 tsp Sweet Orange e/o; 3 tsp Rose f/o; 1/4 tsp each of Cinnamon, Clove and Nutmeg e/o's.

You've also asked if I could suggest a customer favorite...people's opinions on what is a great scent varies so much that it's very hard to do that. What one customer would rave about, the next would think was awful! I can tell you that overall Lavender and citrus scents always seemed to outsell the rest. Clean Cotton, a scent from New Directions also did extremely well...personally, I can't stand the smell but everyone else liked it.

One great thing about the recipes on this site is that they only make 10 bars of soap. This way you can make a variety of scents that your friends and family can pick from.

Good luck and have fun soaping!
