on todays menu... stabby!

 today im going to make something but i dont know what.  the market is in 3 days.

maybe more pouches. i have this super cute "france tourism" fabric i dont know how to use. its got pictures , drawings and fundamentalist colourful, of france scenes: little scooter, eiffel tower, cute side streets, i think theres a poodle in there... ill post a pic from my phone:

i wanted to quilt it but i dont know how to add the other shapes around it. what shapes. where.

oh i just remembered these already made project panels i bought. yay im going to use them. theres 4 of these placemat projects but im going to make it a pouch with an outside pocket:

also just bought an $18 bag of quilt batting 45x60 inches or so arriving tomorrow thanks to amazon. kind of expensive for a small piece it is polyester. i read all the cotton reviews and i just gave up. it looks like most come apart when washed and you have a lump of cotton between the unquilted portions . i was thinking i should use instacart more if im lazy. i have to go to the dufferin fabricland before it shuts down for good everything is on discount clearance. they opened one on yonge and bloor which is so convenient so that dufferin one is closing. anyway that dufferin on transit is a bus ride and walking but its by highways in a really uncomfortable manner. busy highways, so uncomfortable to walk by. i dont have a car so i never go to the locations that are super far unless i live near them somehow like the dufferin one i was living in north york at the time.... those landlords havent paid me back yet. did you read about twitter having to sue the ADL some jewish defamation league, for defamation, on twitter? like wow guys these jewish people are getting way out of control if they want to remain as a whole person, just one jewish, just jew, they really need to step it up. like my old landlord is super uber jewish with 11 children im not sure if they were like amish people or something but they were like amish people or something totally lying through the skin of their teeth nodding their heads ..... in the end they refuse to return my damage deposit after threatening me so many fucking times about smoking inside the house and i wasnt smoking pot in the house whatsoever like one time i even tested it and knew those fucking kids were right at my door spying on me, depressing me, harassing me, i busted up, loudly, the stankiest weed i had bought in a while to ROLL a joint and i could hear them giddily gobbling up a single terp, one molecule of cannabinoid in their delicate spying little fucking noses... could literally hear them giggling and saying thats def weed lol, fucking annoying brady bunch looking all uniform wearing little fuckers.... constantly running up around forcing the little ones to stomp on top of my entire apartment when parents were not home, just miserable fucking children with nothing to do when at home, like honestly and vacuuming right first thing the girls would do in the morning after getting ready for their boring ass days ffs..... yeah i felt fucing tortured in the freezing cold basement with a broken kitchen window and sticky walls that pat and i painted first fucking thing he did, ew the walls in the kitchen were repulsive, only 1,300 i says though the laundry was 4 blocks away easy,  carpeted too with the most hideous flooring in the main room, all beige and browns and streaky looking and not shiny. just ew.  in the end they steal my last months rent because he demanded me to pay rent the month i was moving out and i gave them enough notice, they were fucking horrible traumatizing fucks that didnt pay me back, he demanded i pay rent on the last month i stayed, and i had painted the kitchen and one side of the main room. i also detail cleaned the bathroom and mopped the dingy cough inducing mildewey carpeted walls. and also detail cleaned the black mold on the venetian blind in the entrance window, which was completely filthy. as if i dont charge myself for what i do. i had to live there. their place from the looks of it, was meticulous. not sure why or how their rental was so affordable in comparison to the rest? hmm. with the money they stole they could have bought me a washer dryer and another month would have paid for carpet removal and linoleum or double paned windows, just no as if that plus what they did to me was what i deserved plus forcing me to pay a months rent on the month i was to leave, so what the fuck did i pay the damage deposit for? these fucking people thought it was ok, after literally renting the place with a fucking social worker explaining my condition and trauma regarding theft with a well written letter, plus albion housings crew coming to explain and get the lease etc holy fucking shit i even had the ministry of housing pay them directly, to which they did and accidentally over paid them because of how the housing costs are doled out by agency or department and not a the lump sum oh just fucking no. incredible trauma from these people like why show me your whole fam and say youre this without telling me you were like super poor . well i guess this is what i understood. but yo i asked the guy the landlord if they were ok for moneey- because he had my damage and no word of a lie said not a single word to me about the fucking gorgeous paint job pat did in that god awful kitchen, an indication of pure fuckery coming....... ugh so where was i, at a loss of $1,548 by the hands of a large fundamentalist jewish family of 11.... blatant thieves i felt my human rights were being flagrantly violated, bullied by children and stigmatized by adults about pot smoking is not what you want in a basement suite with no laundry in the middle of nowhere and a highway to cross daily.  

yeah so what am i going to make today. i hope something that makes me some money!!  ooooh maybe ill make stabby, my stuffed aromatherapy knife.  you just drip essential oils onto it and it smells good while you stab away at stuff! yeah! i wonder if i can use the black and white gingham for the knife part... what about the handle just plain black? i have polka dots but i think it would be too busy and both non black. yeah totally gonna make stabby today. been thinking about this project for a while.

today im smoking on maple pancakes by potluck. tastes just like original haze! yummy! got it at the ocs for like 40 a quarter so worth it though the convenience and its packaged cleanly no animal hairs.... 

bergamot tip !

im making a bergamot recreation and its already super realistic with 6 ingredients! just found 5 more to add in small amounts. im only using essential oils and its a lot of fun, like doing a puzzle or mind game, if you like those.... been making dilutions all day and im so glad i invested in 100 tiny bottles! .30 cents a piece is a small price to pay for the convenience of use! so many dilutions!
ive made a few formulas for other perfume ideas and some of the accords i made are turning out really well. if i didnt get that thanaka lime also known as persian lime (its those little black ones for food) which is citrus x latifolia (key lime and lemon) i wouldnt have been able to make this wonderful bergamot recreation!
some of the ingredients im using are
bitter orange (citrus x aurantium) respiratory, lemon (citrus limon), blood orange (citrus x sinensis), ...... woops ! dont want to give it all away! specially now that im getting better. at making perfume formulas. its like when you get that click in your head..all my years of reading and learning and smelling are now exploding and i kind of finally know what the heck im doing making these perfumes. so this one is all essential oils. if i get these oils as therapeutic grade this blend would be the best! cos its got so many other beneficial plants in it ... this blend would be great as an

oil and it will be my first experiment with roller bottles and making a "perfume oil" but actually its an aromatherapy blend... but dont tell anyone that! atomizer blend! its for my lungs, a stimulant, it will refresh your system (conceptually) im reading about the medicinal properties of the individual chemical constituents in the oils im using to "recreate bergamot" which has an interesting lineage! but i think calling it a perfume would be more chic. i think im going to call it Bergamot 41.... for my "original"  birthday creation. of course i had a little help along the way from all the little avatars on basenotes..... (a lot of help in the form of nudges i got from comments and posts and i would make mental notes while doing the work of smelling/memory and creation) if it works out its a simple accord and also a complicated formula. I got the lime to rework the cannabis accord actually.. wanted to try to make a bergamot with lemonile and triplal but will play with these maybe have a version with a.c.'s to add structure and longevity and strength.. and while trying to find out what triplal and lemonile was and how it could be bergamot, i ended up making a bergamot, 1, because i go a nature identical "essential oil" and a real one from the same vendor but drat could not find the bergamot, which has aired out. i did however have my old sample still and used it as a reference instead but have been using my suppliers analysis to recreate the bergamot. it would also be good as a tincture or super dilution as a flavouring there is ... ok i will give up more ingredients... hyssop (hyssopum officianalis and chamomile (chamomelum nobille) blood thinner which are beneficial  get so excited with dumb things i learn i want to tell everyone and find out what they know about it too. im such a doofus of course everyone hates this kind of behaviour. when i made the second version and smelled my last bergamot sample from new directions as a comparison i could not believe how accurate my choices were!!! of course it needed fleshing out but wow! ive never done this before picture me on the sofa on the coffee table all these bottles everywhere sniffing one palm then the other giggling with glee and shock (the bergamot from new directions was inexpensive though, do you think it was diluted, the sample on wikipedia is green almost like olive and ive never bought one like that) (i wondered if after all the good stuff was done how many more passes ethyl alcohol will have on the pressed peels) interesting bit is learning about the history of lime, which originated from a philippine citrus, from the south, not for food use but rather cosmetic in use due to its use as a shampoo (the citric acid i suppose closes the hair shaft, cleanses the scalp, and makes the hair very shiny and the oil makes the hair fragrant) it might have also coloured the hair to orange or lighter brown because of the high bergapten in the oil. which is photosensitive, then down the line as the fruit was passed along as a gift- because it would have been rather precious to tend to a live plant across the ocean if they were just using huge galleons at the time. . .i guess they brought seeds but the live plant as a gift is def the way to go and totally believeable because why import a plant that has no nutritional value (oh wait..scurvy)  at some point this lime was crossed with lemon to make the key lime probably adding more pulp as described in wiki, then this fruit was paired with the bitter orange to make bergamot . . . the rest is history !-- ok wait im a bit confused here. so citrus micrantha is bred citrus limon and then with bitter orange to make bergamot. in world war 2 italy was banned from exporting bergamot by the allied forces (united nations) to tone down their aggression during the war so other countries took over the bergamot trade for a while using sweet limes from brazil so the smell is not the same which is why (maybe) there are two bergamot oils. the original one and the fake one. and also to note bergamot oil i guess is classified as a fragrance oil because it was bred for cosmetic use. isnt that a weird spin.  there isnt much study on the medicinal effects of bergamot as of 2017. the poison is the dose is why the original limes were small and had not much juice. the strength of the scent carried it through and its origin was not lost because the fragrance could be traced. much like language and genes.

SWAPS! essential oil swaps aroma chemicals molecule one essences and fragrance materials

i have a swap page for perfumers or people interested in essential oils...
http://www.basenotes.net/threads/476459-nicotiro-swaps-e-o-s-for-a-c-s

was thinking about also having the samples up in case anyone wanted to try some but do not have anything to trade, then they could just send me some money for it.

.:
ok weird just now im getting loads of flak on the basenotes forum
its some kind of shilling or some kind of public shaming of women online
thats what it feels like to me. anyway. so theres that.... as usual. so im kind of bummed i wont log in anymore or read the forum because it literally takes me away from what im buzzing around there looking for, a phrase, some kind of connection with a smell that i can make with what i have or learn something new from what i have and this knowledge isnt fully hald up front like its very loosely accessed and the trolls they take it away with their inane demands on polictical correctness and even now i feel like another unpaid shill for some kind of fight between the british and french schools of aromatherapy oh for fucks sake and then it goes on and on and cries out loud. if it wasnt for the internet where would be. outside no doubt, in civilized society!


 

DIY Hydrogel Mask: Strawberry

I've come up with a new facial!!!!!
I LOVE IT !!!!
it's so tasty.

check it out
all you need is
Spring water
2-3 large strawberries
a spoonful of honey
half a teaspoon of sugar
and
a squeeze of lime (optional)

Slice the strawberries very thinly, leaving the centers intact.
Drizzle with honey and leave until the juice is released from the cellular matrix.
Squeeze a bit of lime into the mixture.
Slip a slice from the glass and drip the excess juice, then apply the strawberry onto your face.
Repeat until your face is covered. Pay attention to your forehead, around your eyes and mouth.
Leave on for 15-20 minutes then remove strawberries.
With clean fingertips, massage your face in tiny circular motions, until all the liquid is absorbed and the honey starts to become sticky again.
Lightly rinse your face with spring water and pat dry.
Feel the suppleness, the smoothness! Your face is now moisturized and nourished with vitamins and minerals.
 The fruit (malic) acid of the strawberry and the (citric) acid of the lime, plus the (glycolic) acid of the sugar, enhances product absorption and promotes blood flow, collagen production, as well as skin brightening from exfoliation and the inherent properties of the acids. You can now apply your favorite precious oil or moisturizer because your skin is primed and ready to face the day. Also you can lick your lips as the juice drips and it is delicious.

Tip: (Optional) adding probiotic yogurt will add lactic acid which is another alpha hydroxy acid that enhances the appearance of your skin.

This is where I read about the acids and note the complete list of their sources on the bottom:
https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/alpha-hydroxy-acid#takeaway

----------
When I did this mask the other day I actually got the idea from my strawberry lime juice. I was washing my thermos and the slices of strawberry had all lost their colour. I was using a coconut soap block for the dishes cos I didnt have anymore dish soap or the will or the extra dollar to buy it, so after washing a huge load of dishes with no gloves and hot water my hands were feeling pretty dry...then came the thermos and me scooping out the strawberry slices and thats when I noticed the amazing moisturizing properties of the fruit and sugar mixture. Then I started playing with the gloop and noticed hey this stuff is really slippery and omg it sticks to my hand then I was totally not doing the dishes anymore and just playing with water and strawberry goop.

So basically what Im trying to say is to make a hydrogel mask with actual gel like strawberries you have to make a large strawberry lime juice and use those strawberries because those ones have a more gelatinous texture. BUT if you want a nice acidic exfoliant mask you can follow the above instructions. After the mask (above) I did notice a slight tingling around my face and for a minute there thought, oh my god my face is coming off but then I went to the washroom and patted my cheeks while looking into the mirror and saw my skin and was like oh this is fine.

this is the original strawberry juice idea in my notebook after i come up with an idea i try to jot it down as quickly as possible before i forget. so many lost brilliant ideas. sigh.

heres what the true hydrogel strawberry looks like

Lilac Soap

Finely crafted Handmade 100% Coconut oil soap

Free Poster for download for personal use (gift making, scrapbooking, inspiration, etc.)

 ~~~

DIY!
Support local thoughts and products, produce and manufacture!

The fragrance I used is a mixture of Lilac fragrance and naturals.

There are a couple formulations so there are two distinct labels.

This soap has aroma molecules blended to smell like Lilac, and natural isolates to enhance the fragrance and longevity of scent.

Hand drawn illustration by me.

This formula contains coumarin, a natural isolate, also known as Tonka Bean. Smells sweet and nice. Since this is a restricted ingredient in the fragrance industry you are meant to label it if it is above 100 ppm for rinse off products (.01% for rinse off and .001% for leave on products) so the ingredient is listed because it is at .125% .06% for this Lilac fragrance blend I made for this batch of soap (this is why lot numbers are essential for cosmetic labeling) and also for those obsessed with this scent. It causes an allergy to 1.2-6.8% of patients with suspected fragrance contact allergy according to this study: https://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_risk/committees/04_sccp/docs/sccp_o_061.pdf
Here is another article on Coumarin https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsomega.7b00562

Scalp Tonic !

My scalp tonic !!! Formula !!
I have posted additional oils in my basenotes thread found here:
http://www.basenotes.net/threads/459171-EO-Perfume-blends-Fougere-Chypre-amp-Cologne?p=4556889&viewfull=1#post4556889


Hmm online content is online content!
Here is my post (yippeee the colours remain!)


Update!
Scalp Tonic!
Been working on research regarding the scalp tonic. A lot of the essential oils need high percentages for them to work as referenced in the studies. So I was going to make two versions, the aromatherapy version which might not smell like a perfume at all, and a daily scalp tonic which would be the one that smells better.

Original blend:
12 rosemary - aids penetration
07 lav - aids synergy
04 mint - circulatory stimulation
02 geranium - hormone balancing
01 neroli - pore tightening

I would like to add the following oils in a pleasing way.
sicilian lemon - antibacterial
magnolia leaf - antifungal
frankincense - wound healing
thyme - anti bacterial
marjoram - anti bacterial
ravensara - anti viral
cedar atlas - sebum control
vetiver - yeast control

Aroma chems:
sandalore - hair growth- only needs .005% to work
farnesol - anti bacterial

(these are ones I do not have but have been referenced in study)
eugenol
cavacrol
thymol

Made a recent blend with all the additional oils on a trace of sandalore and farnesol, only denatured alcohol and water. It smells … ok, it smells like an aromatherapy blend, I can still smell the original blend, sweet, juicy and herbal mint. The most interesting part is how it regulates my circadian rhythm when I apply it at night before bed. Its happened by coincidence so many times that I think it actually works. I spray the mixture directly on my scalp and rub it in with my fingertips. There is a slight cooling action from evaporation and eventually the peppermint. When applied before bed at around 10-12 midnight, I wake up at the crack of dawn, naturally, without fail. Its mildly annoying! When not used I wake up much later in the morning, and usually get up frequently at night. So i’m not sure what’s worse!

Would like to make this into an aromatic perfume somehow. Any suggestions? At some point I was hoping to make this a finished product for sale. So far all I have is negative income from all of my research and experimenting. What an expensive "hobby"!

perfuming lotions

Lotion!
made a lotion last night its so nice. with peach kernel oil, pumpkin seed, almond oil, it has silicone and ipm and custom perfume blends.
watery thick and scented lightly and non obtrusively, my fave
made 200 grams (two scents) and made this accord i thought is like
dirty white petal - creamy green - watery
its got hyacinth, and magnolan and magnolia leaf essential oil, green notes like undercavertol, and creamy watery green like trace of farnesol, and i cant remember the rest... heliotropex n, and isobutavan, oh yeah
its linear and clean and i don't really know what im doing but matching scents i like to compile for a perfume.
for the other bottle its the leather green chypre with .06 too much galbanum, so i added bergamot and amyris and extra clearwood and juniper berry and spruce. its also got petitgrain, copied a recipe found in the good scents for a chypre but with loads of substitutions for the aroma chems and some essential oils i dont have anymore like fir needle, don't think i ever had it, subbed it with juniper berry and spruce and was going to add borneol crystal but didn't. used veramoss and treemoss and oakmoss and the leather accord with castoreum, lots of Sicilian lemon oil, and lemonile, a very tiny amount, so i think it turned into a woody colognpre. it started as an airy ozone (too)green leather chypre ?it has coriander seed, Virginia cedar wood, and a rose blend with triplal and other green notes, bergamot as top, sandalwood ebanol combo (oh i did not add musk ketone) its also got green coffee oil which i think is gone bad already (so sad wth) or i need to change the container. ugh. those plastic droppers are killer. and it also has tobacco. it hasn't developed and i will try to make it again because my recipe vs my reality was most inaccurate. lol. no pipettes imagine that.
In the lotion the colognpre will have to wait on its second opinion. Meanwhile I'm enjoying mine and will try it as an after shower full body lotion.

New Soaps

hey i realize now i cut the soaps too early.
this is a 250 gram total custom bar,

scented with the basic fougere, essential oils and veramoss and coumarin wow it smells Amazing!!!

 This is the oranger crystal fisco, turned into a bunch of tom thompsons. go figure. scented with the stationary scent (gotta call it something else now) my first synthetics only fragrance smells quite edible and cosmetic
(its now slowly turning darker beige / tan)

the stash awaits its paper boxes

some glycerin soaps i made with no recipe - the purple one is sooooo great mild and bubbly great for my hands while working on the projects i always have to wash and my terrible habit of cutting and usng the soap too early sometimes causes my hands to get extremely dried up so these glycerin soaps i make are now my fave for right away use. these and the liquid soap. oh yeah ive made two different liquid soaps!

*new update with details! *

here are the soaps on the shelf

 

this is the lava soap made of african black soap and coconut oil soap and activated charcoal (its the one that i tried to make look like lava) (actually it was an accident and i went with it) there are 3 but this was the most artistic one

strawberry pinq soap !


this was a shea butter addition soap with a lavender alcohol bottom (that line on the bottom of darker soap is the most clear and lovely soap) but i didnt temper the batch or something so the shea butter was grainy and it didnt lather that much and it smelled weird i didnt scent it or scented it strange (which happens frequently i use a weird perfume as a soap fragrance because most times the weirdness disappears and its a nice smell but this was not one of those times)

 some table scraps... my poor dog

 this is rose swirl im not sure if they look grotesque or not. im just gonna say they dont, to save my feelings.

 these are fresh lilac bars they smell great, heady, lilac, floral, not for those who dislike flower scents, this is that classic lilac scent

these are my *favorite* but i hacked the loaf very badly and all the bars are unevenly cut (so sad) these soaps were measured perfectly and theyve cured to perfection,,,,,the scent of blackberries and violet leaf this soap is divine

these are lack lye fiasco bars that finally cured into the mildest full of glycerin bars, and they are quite large, much larger than all the rest at 750 divided by 3 (250 grams per bar)

these are little tiny soaps made into a bigger tiny soap. they are shards of mainly glycerin soap trials and colouring experiments and they are super adorable i love the colours. they are made using ice cube molds.

 

these are the strawberry soaps so cute i made them spur of the moment in a burst of creative energy (but according to camh thats called mania and needs to medicated with sedation drugs? )

 these are glycerin bars that took forever to cure - too long to cure actually
they smell ok, not my fave but i love the colour, i havent tried them, i think they are super mild though i wonder about how bubbly they are!

 

this is a new process i came up with that makes the cold process soap more translucent, i called this soap happy soap and i created a lemon verbena like scent for it.

this is another glycerin soap same time i made the aqua one. its SUPER bubbly !!!! but not very clear at all. you can tell its got a different texture and it smells nice. it should smell like grapes but it smells like something sweet.

 there are also loads of soap blocks which i havent taken pictures of. im trying to batch some lye but its taken me 4 days i havent done it yet i am very distracted with trauma stress right now (no weed) and no food (hungry and cant think clearly)

Laundry Soap, Cleaning Soap, All-Purpose Powdered Soap

this is laundry soap making. on the right side is making washing soda which is baking soda put in the oven, and grating a failed soap experiment, three bars with different polysorbates as a fragrance dilutant and none of them worked because mismeasured lye somehow it all became so lye heavy. like powdery rocks after a few weeks (didnt grate them all so i could observe them)

 

 this below is the soap referenced in this blog post: https://nicoletirona.blogspot.com/2018/12/laundry-soap.html  
its the pear that turned pink from the bottom of the lye heavy soap
and other parts of the failed soaps
that pic below looks like the difference between the top and the bottom.

Soap Making Update

Here are all the pics I haven't inserted in the soap making posts.
All in one Bar !

 this is my favorite soap
its almost finished cos i accidentally started using it because it smells so good

 and also because the bars are so badly cut i dont want to sell them which is unfortunate

 because despite the bad cuts

 its a ghost soap

 by accident. i mismeasured and made the mold too big and made another batch to put on top but by the time the soap and fragrance blend was ready to pour, the other soap was already gelling,

 the smell... only starting to come back now, a month later.... i still have about 5 bars

 my fave soap so far, the ideal coconut oil soap ratio

 scented with blackberry and violet leaf which i named ivy league pillow party: purple garden poison. i kind of want to incorporate it into the smoking violets .... which hasnt been fully made and is getting a rewrite.

the other soaps:
Lilac superfatty bars in the white based box with the lilac in front of clouds $2.00 each they are the rebatch bars and do not smell very strongly of anything but sweet soap.

--

 Lilac in the new box with triangle pattern $5 each - these soaps have orris absolute from France (Robertet) plus other scents and also Lilac fragrance oil, and they smell great but the lilac scent is not that strong.

nice reading about lilacs in this fragrantica article https://www.fragrantica.com/news/Lilac-Accord-in-Perfumery-11632.html

--

My favorite scent Blackberry and Violet Leaf- the boxes dont really fit hmmph.
The large bar is 100 grams for $8 each and the tiny ones are $5 each. there are very limited amounts, 5 large bars and 6 small bars. they are not cut very well!

 These are the best soaps in my opinion, my fave texture, i measured so accurately. Sweet scent, the blackberry scent is not that pronounced but it smells so sweet and nice. also it has orris and violet leaf absolute. this blackberry fragrance also has some musk ketone in it, which i love in this blackberry mixture but its bio accumulative ? and an explosive ? guess thats why its so persistent. there are newer synthetic musks now that have no damaging properties, musk ketone hasnt been found to have damaging properties but it doesnt break down and can go from the soap to the drain to inside a fish to inside your tummy and its still musk ketone.. so im not sure about getting some, even though i really want to get some of the musk ketone as itself for my own blends, i probably shouldnt but im not sure why im doing this whole vegan strict thing because i really want some in a deodorizer. it was used in the original chanel no. 5  https://www.fragrantica.com/news/Natural-and-Synthetic-Musk-5243.html


 Man Blend these are great and $8 each extra large bar at approx 120 grams each.


also free pick up in toronto for purchases over $15. i realize these prices are kind of high but im basing that on my income (which is zero) like, if i saw this in a store would i buy this (i cant buy anything) these are probably the lowest i can price the soaps without checking my exact costing (including labour and design and studies? gtfoh) that suit my understanding of money right now. for the past few years. for my entire life. sigh. like if i was raised with an allowance or something, like an inheritance, or property, i would probably price these soaps at $15 each and think that was too low. but i used to get no allowance and have zero inheritance and have scraped away at life with the occasional boon thus far and can only afford up to $5 for a handmade soap bar. were i to spend the no money i have i would spend $5 on a really nice soap made by my neighbour. but are my soaps that nice that a welfare broke skid like me would spend 5 of their food dollars for a handmade soap? i dont know. is it better than store bought and why. im not sure.

ok i realize i dont punctuate or capitalize and if you can read this thats so great and i will send you a prize with purchase, use the code persistentadevertising because i keep seeing that damn grammerly ad is it because i turned off auto correct? oh yeah its that article i linked about how targeted advertising is ruining the world. for example i .... ill stop here. ok fig pics. actually i have a lot of mini soaps to sell i will post them here.
