Lotion Bar Love
- Difficulty:Beginner
- Time:30 Minutes
- Yields:10-14 Lotion Bars
There have been so many requests for a lotion bar tutorial so I hopped into the soap lab and busted out a twist on the traditional Lotion Bar Kit found at Bramble Berry. It's made with fun colors, a fruity fragrance and skin loving ingredients. Time to soften up those hands as the nice weather starts to roll in.
2 oz Beeswax
8 oz Sweet Almond Oil
5 oz Shea Butter
3 oz Cocoa Butter
1 oz Green Tea Extract
.25 oz Summer Fling Fragrance Oil
Large heat safe container
3 small heat safe containers (or mugs)
Buy everything you need with the click of a button!
ONE: Melt the beeswax in the microwave for two minutes total, stirring after each minute (this is what happens if you leave in in the microwave too long- read the blog post here). When the beeswax is slightly melted add the Sweet Almond Oil. Give it a little mix and pop it back in the microwave for another 3 minutes total, stirring after each minute until the mixture is a liquid.
TWO: Then stir in the Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Fragrance Oil (Summer Fling) and Green Tea Extract. Mix for 2-3 minutes until all of the butters have melted from the heat of the oil (this helps to prevent the shea butter and cocoa butter from going grainy). If you need to pop it back in the microwave to melt all of the butters go for it, 30 seconds will do the trick.
Tip: Skin loving extracts will add a luxurious touch to any lotion bar recipe. Just make sure that you're using an oil soluble extract. Water soluble extracts will not mix in.
THREE: The goal is to evenly divide the batch into 3 separate containers so we can add our colorants. Pour 1/3 of the mixture into a small heat safe mug or container and cover the larger container with plastic wrap to keep the rest warm. Then mix in 1 mini scoop of Lip Safe Yellow Mica. Mix well. If the mixture starts to thicken up on you, you can pop it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften it back up again.
Hint: I estimated my measurements but feel free to weigh out the three small batches for the sake of consistency.
FOUR: Once your color is fully mixed in, fill up all of the push tubes 1/3 of the way leaving room for two more colored layers.
Tip: To speed up the process of this project, put the push tubs in the fridge while you prepare your other colored lotion layers.
FIVE: Pour half of the remaining mixture into another small container and add 1 mini scoop of the Cellini Blue Mica. Mix well. Again, if the mixture starts to thicken up on you, pop it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
Notice on the left the mixture is thickening. Pop it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to fully stir in the color. Doesn't the blue make a beautiful green color when mixed with the yellowish oils? Love it!
SIX: Just like the basics of melt and pour soapmaking, we don't want to pour the second layer too hot and melt the first layer. Make sure the mixture has cooled to at least 125 degrees before pouring the green layer on top of the yellow layer.
SEVEN: Repeat steps 4 using the remaining mixture adding 2 scoops of the Red Blue Mica. Mix well, cool to 125 degrees and pour the final layer. Let them cool completely.
Hint: I had about 5 ounces of the Lotion Bar mixture left over so I thought it would be fun to make a couple lotion bars in actual molds. You can fill up 2 Oops Molds or 3-4 more Push Tubes with the remaining mixture. It's all up to your creativity. Have fun making it your own!
Other SQ Tips: This recipe differs slightly than the recipe that comes in the Bramble Berry Lotion Bar Kit. It has a softer texture and the obvious addition of the colorants, green tea extract and summer fling fragrance oil. I encourage you to customize this recipe any way that you want. If you want your bar to be a little bit harder try adding 10% more beeswax. Or if you want a less "greasy" feeling, 1 tablespoon of Tapioca Starch will do the trick. Tapioca Starch is velvety smooth and imparts a soft after-feel to the skin. Oh, and remember to go easy on the colorants. We don't want anyone turning yellow, green or pink after using your lotion bar (grin). Stick with my colorant recommendations and you'll be safe.

Great tute! I love the layers too:D
Easter Basket!!!
(great idea for coloring them!)
Pretty! It looks like some of the lotion gets stuck to the sides of the tube…is it hard to push out?
I love it!!!
Fantastic tutorial.
Thanks AM.
Monterrey, México
oooh sooo coool, I have to do this! Thanks for sharing this great project.
Seems like it could double as a lip balm recipe??
Love this post. Thanks. The colours are so pretty.
Anne-Marie, we want to wish you all the best for the upcoming new addition to your family. You should be very near now.
all this fuzz over colors and cuteness and details but what really matters is left to the sidelines. how about dedicating some time and effort to non-petrochemical based additives. most of the perfume oils that you carry have pthalates and other chemicals that are either toxic or have never been studied for toxicity.
if you don't make or sell pthalate-free products what about featuring a vendor who does?
making a perfumey soap is not a big deal. making a sweet smelling soap that doesn't contain dangerous chemicals is!
I had made a different lotion bar recipe (not from your site that turned out almost like a petroleum jelly consistency. It went on great but left feet sticky and able to attract small fibers from beyond. Is this a thicker, more flip-flop friendly recipe?
I LOVE this idea! Can you do it without the push up tube?
Could you use soy wax in place of Beeswax ?
Definitely. Soy wax is the slightest bit softer so you may want to use a little more. But it will definitely work! I hope you try the recipe. Let us know how it goes =)
Courtney from BB
I made this recipe and it turned out beautifully, especially given it was my first time making lotion bars.
I was wondering if you would advise shipping the bars. I live in TX, so it's getting hot here. I'd hate for them to melt en route.
I'm so glad you like the recipe! Shipping recipes that can melt in the summer is a very tough situation and there are many variables that are out of your control.
Anne-Marie did a blog post on how to ship during the summer. Here's the link so you can read her tips http://www.soapqueen.com/bramble-berry-news/sizzlin-hot-summer-orders-2/
Courtney from BB
Love the recipe! I ordered the push-up tubes. They are wonderful except for the fact that the entire cylinder of lotion (with the push up part attached) falls out when the tube is turned upside down! Is this the standard way this tube operates, or did I happen to get a defective batch of tubes?
My bar went grainy..can it still be used?
The grainy feeling is probably because the shea butter got a little too hot. That's just the nature of shea butter. Despite the grains, it's 100% safe to use!
Courtney from Bramble Berry
I made this recipe without any color or fragrance oil–I just mixed up the almond oil, beeswax, cocoa and shea butters as directed and poured into plastic containers to use for a skin lotion. It set up nicely, but later I noticed it had "beads" in the lotion and was not a uniform consistency. I had heated everything together until all the butters and beeswax were melted. What did I do wrong? Can I re-do this lotion?
Did you remember to stir in the shea and cocoa butter? If they get too hot they can get a little grainy, which is just the nature of the butters. The only other thing I can think of is if it wasn't mixed all the way. If that's the case, slowly remelt the mixture (low temps) and give it a good mix then pour back into the containers.
I hope that helps =)
Courtney from BB
Dear Courtney:
Yes, that was probably the problem. I melted everything together and they probably got too hot melting with the beeswax. Next time I will stir the shea butter etc in separately!
Hi love this recipe and have been wanting to make these for so long now. But i have 2 questions for you and i hope you can help… I have already bought Coconut butter to melt and infuse with herbs of choice so instead of using sweet almond oil i was going to use that, so is it ok to use the coconut infuse herb oil instead of the sweet almond? and 2nd Q is it ok for me to mix the Cocoa butter and Coconut butter together? I dont want to make it to thick. I could always just make it and find out but i hate to waste what i have already bought and would hate to buy the cocoa butter if it wouldn't work anyways!
P.S.- Great site and Youtube videos!! you guys should make a video about hard lotion bars!
Sorry i must correct myself i dont have coconut butter i have coconut oil! So maybe there wont be a problem then….. But i did think of one more question (sorry) hehe ok the cocoa butter is this something i can buy anywhere like its the stuff you see on drug store selves or should i be looking for a certain type of cocoa butter?? Sorry for all the questions i just want to get this right!
Coconut Oil is considered a "hard" oil. It' smelting point is 76 degrees so it's usually hard at room temperature. It's okay to infuse the herbs into the coconut oil but it can't be replaced with the sweet almond oil in this recipe. Sweet almond oil is a "soft" oil that stays liquid all the time.
I'm not sure what you're asking regarding the cocoa butter and coconut oil. But you can definitely mix them together and infuse them with herbs or use them in a recipe.
The cocoa butter that we sell is in its raw and natural form. It's actually a hard chunk and not creamy at all. The cocoa butter that you see on the drugstore shelves is usually a lotion or cream. That is not what you want to use in a recipe like this.
I hope this helps and good luck with your project!
Courtney from Bramble Berry
I just made these and I think they're great for keeping your skin soft, but they ended up having a hole at the top (poured too hot?) and they're too soft for my liking. It's definitely not a bar and more like a gel.
I am trying to make solid lotion bars for the first time and am having a fragrance issue. I used a recipe that is 1 part beeswax (used yellow), 1 part solid (used unscented cocoa butter) and 1 part oil (split this up to use coconut oil, olive oil, and almond oil). The texture and how it feels on the hands is perfect. The problem is the fragrance. I used 2 different scents (coconut and mango), after a combined 180 drops of fragrance, my finished product only smells like the beeswax and I cannot smell the scent at all.
I bought a solid lotion bar, that boasts beeswax as it's main ingredient, but I cannot smell the beeswax at all and only smell the fragrance. I have read that if you are using beeswax then there is no way to get away from that smell.
Any suggestions??
Hi, i have just order a kit for lotion bar making but i think you are out of the summer fling fragrance oil. I already order it so what should i do to replace that fragrance oil? This is my first time doing these stuff so i'm not sure what to do. My order number is 115458. Thank you
This lotion bar has been a blessing for my daughter. She has some stubborn psoriasis and this is wiping it out!
[...] found two blog sites that are associated with http://www.brambleberry.com, The Soap King and The Soap Queen – each of those links will take you to their lotion bar tutorials. There is even a retail [...]
I just ordered this and I always have to tweek stuff.Can I add some of the glitter I use for my MP soap? It is from Bramble Berry so I know its body safe. And how do I know which fragrance oils and colors are ok for lotion? Thanks again Love BB!!!
Also thank you for the nice comments on my facebook soap pics.HUGS!!
Which extracts that BB carries are oil soluable?
All of the INCIs for the extracts contain the ingredients. If it's in Capric Triglycerides, that's oil soluble. That's the name for Fractionated Coconut Oil.
Other ones are in aloe vera juice (water soluble) and liquid glycerin (semi soluble in oil). So just look at the ingredients listing.
I made these lotion bars and found they are a little soft for what I wanted, and I used .5 oz less almond oil and .5 more cocoa butter when I made the recipe. If I want to melt down and re-do the batch, what could I add to make them harder?
More beeswax will do it for you! We suggest starting with 1 oz. for the recipe you are using and moving up from there. A great way to test the formulation of your recipe is the spoon trick!
What you do is put a couple of spoons in the freezer. When you are ready, you dip the frozen spoons into the liquid mixture and it will harden up immediately on the spoon. That way you will be able to see what the consistency is before it fully hardens. Then you can make any adjustments you need.
If you have any questions or want a more detailed description, a great video is the Lip Balm Online Tutorial!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thank you so much Becky! I was making a half-batch of this recipe, but I went ahead and used a full oz of additional beeswax when I melted everything down,used the spoon trick to test it, and it turned out perfectly! Nice and hard but melts smoothly when applied to skin! Yay! It is soft enough for the tubes and hard enough that it popped right out of my heavy duty dragonfly mold with a perfect dragonfly! I had a customer request these in yellow and scented with BB's Yankee Candle type Lemon Verbena and I think she will be very happy with them!
You are so welcome Elizabeth! I am so glad that trick was able to help you out! Yay, for fantastic Lemon Verbena Lip Balm! If you have any pictures, you should share on our Facebook page!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Just wondering what I can use instead of Green Tea extract? I look forward to your reply.
Hi! Instead of the Green Tea extract, you can use any other oil soluble extract!!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Hi Anne Marie I was wondering instead of using beeswax can I use a different wax such as Candelilia wax? If so would I use the same amount as suggest for the beeswax? Thanks so much.
If you use Candellila, it will be much harder. That wax is considerably more hard than beeswax. If you're going to experiment with Candellila, just do small batches =) It's about 15-20% harder in my experience and it is much more brittle.
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thank you Becky I did do a test run. First batch I used a third less then what it asked for bees wax turned out to soft and liquidified immediately when touched. Second batch I used half of what it asked and it worked so far I will see how it turns out tomorrow when I play with it.
It sounds like your second batch is getting to the correct consistency and not too hard or too soft. If you have pictures, you should share them on our Facebook page, we'd love to see how it turned out!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thanks Becky for the help, the second batch was still to soft. I forgot to order cocoa butter so I tried pistachio butter instead. I had to of course add almost the exact amount of what it asks for bees wax. Which I figure because of how luxury soft pistachio butter is and still being a beginner soap maker
Lol. But I will post pics because I got it to the consistency that I like it which is firm until touched then it is smooth not brittle. I appreciate your help. Now time for me to learn how to make shea butter frosting instead of using meringue powder.
Oh and I forgot to say I used that sweet Myers lemon in the third batch my mouth waters every time I smell my hands. Love it so fresh and citrus smelling.
I'd love to see pictures of it! I'm glad you were able to get it to that consistency that you were hoping for! Sometimes when you experiment, you come out with interesting and fun results. I'm so glad you like the Sweet Meyer Lemon, it is one of my new favorites!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
I bought these push tubes and ended up really disappointed. One of them, the lotion got around the push base, which I didn't know at the time. When I went to move the tube elsewhere, the lotion had stuck to the counter and I ended up pulling the entire tube off the actual lotion which then spilled out everywhere. Another tube I filled successfully, but the push plate moves back and forth with no friction. The plate just swings out to and fro willy nilly. Is that how it's supposed to work? I'm afraid of wasting anymore product in these.
That's really surprising. I've never heard that complaint before. How hot were your oils when you poured in the mixture?
How you're describing pushing the tubes does sound normal to me. That's just how the tube is designed. Can you tell us more about your lotion bar recipe? The lotion bar will be more likely to slide out if it's a super hard recipe.
Keep me posted. We're here to help!
Courtney with Bramble Berry
P.S. Did you use the recipe above in your push tubes?
Thanks for the great tutorial. I've never tried a lotion bar before. What is the difference between this and a salve/balm?
Hi Evelyn!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial, it's one of my new favorite things to do. We actually just made lotion bars about a week ago for a Bite Me Not (Bug-off) bar!
The difference between a salve/balm and a lotion bar is the consistency and hardness. Salves and balms tend to be softer and a bit more oily, while lotion bars harden as soon as you pour them and have more of a waxy consistency.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. =)
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thanks for the super fast response Becky. I love the Bite Me Not bar – so cool! I'm gonna have to try this soon. I'm especially interested in the "dry-flo" – very interesting stuff…
The Tapioca Powder is a great product to use if you are make balms, salves or body butters. It helps to cut down on that "greasy" feeling that you can sometimes get from those items.
We've actually used it in several of our butter/lotion type recipes.

-Becky with Bramble Berry
I just used the new lotion bar tubes and when I first used one and pushed on the bottom the entire thing popped out the top. Did I not use them correctly or does it have something to do with the recipe? I like the idea of the push tube but it's hard to use when the entire bar falls out when you use it. HELP
Hi Pat!
It sounds like your recipe might be a little too hard and is causing your bars to pop right out. You should be able to push gently on the bottom and have it slide right up for you to use. Which recipe are you using? I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot what is going on!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Here is the recipe I used:
1oz cocoa butter
1oz grapeseed oil
2oz Shea butter
1oz beeswax
Thanks for your help!
I'll give this a try. It's great when we can just remelt and adjust things. Thanks for the advice.
Good luck Pat, and I can't wait to see how it turns out! If you have pictures, we'd love to see them, you can share them with us on our Facebook page.
-Becky with Bramble Berry
I tried to make this the other day, a few months ago i made it and it turned out great, but this time it wasn't solid at all, it had the consistency of warm lip gloss/balm. I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong. Not enough beeswax? or heating them too long? Anything clues?
And do you think I could remelt them and add something more to them?
Hi Jennifer!
Sometimes if you are in an area that is a bit warmer, the lotion bars tend to be a little soft. The best way to combat that (or just soft lotion bars in general) is to add a bit more of the Beeswax to your recipe until you find a consistency that works for you.You can defintley remelt the recipe you have already made and add that extra beeswax to it.
The best way to test the consistency of your lotion bar is to use the frozen spoon trick. You'll need to put a couple of spoons in the freezer and work on your recipe. When you are ready, you dip your frozen spoons into your liquid mixture and it will harden up immediately on the spoon. Once it hardens on the spoon, you will be able to feel and see the consistency of your lotion bar when it hardens. From there, you can make any adjustments to your recipe as needed.
If you have any questions about the frozen spoon trick you can watch this video that Anne-Marie did where she used the frozen spoon trick while making candles. But this trick can work for any hard lotion bar or candle. =)
-Becky with Bramble Berry
thank you so much, this helps a lot
Oh my gosh, these are amazing! I'd love to try this sometime, the pastels are SO pretty. But in Ireland this Summer has been literally rain, hail and wind so they might freeze :s (ESPECIALLY in Winter!! When you're hands get really dry from all the – degrees and snow :-P) Thanks
- Gretta
When you do try them out, you'll have to let us know how they turn out! -Becky
Love the recipe & the finished lotion bar But how in the world do you clean the pyrex cup afterwards? Yikes, I made a mess! Any tips?
Hi Debbie!
The best way to clean your tools is to soak them in hot water and a grease-cutting soap like Dawn. If the wax has already hardened up, I usually melt some melt and pour soap in Pyrex, in the microwave, and really coat the bowl well before pouring the MP soap out (with all the oils and waxes nicely mixed in) and then rinse with super hot water. I hope this helps! =)
-Becky with Bramble Berry
What over types of butter can you for this recipe? I am tiring to experiment with other butters beside Shea and Cocoa.
Hi Susan!
You could also try out avocado butter or even mango butter. We've even had someone try out a soy wax, and it worked great for them! You'll have to let us know how it turns out for you.
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Is it possible to make this and leave out the green tea extract? I don't have any and I want to make some.
Good morning, Stephanie!
It's totally okay to leave the Green Tea Extract out of this recipe. We added because it has such super skin-loving properties and we couldn't pass up a chance to use it!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thank you so much Becky. I ordered the items I didn't have for the recipe and of course forgot to order the Green Tea Extract.
I made these recently– plain, no color or fragrance– and I really love their moisturizing ability. They make my skin feel very nice and soft! This recipe is much softer than the one that comes with the Lotion Bar Kit, though, and I find that it doesn't make very good "hand-held" bars– they tend to melt too quickly and got rather messy. Push-up tubes work very nicely, though, and I'm hoping to find some larger ones later. (Maybe Bramble Berry will get some! )
One problem I did have (which might have contributed to the softness of my bars) was with the butter (shea, maybe?) crystallizing. This makes the bars feel rather grainy and unpleasant to use, even though the grains do melt eventually. I didn't have this problem with the first batch I made. Can you tell me what temperature is best for adding the cocoa and shea butters? I thought I did things pretty much the same this time as compared to last time, but ended up with this graininess. (I melted the beeswax with the sweet almond oil in a double boiler, then turned the heat WAY down low, stirred a bit, then added the cocoa and shea butters, and stirred until they were mostly melted. Once I got to that point, I turned off the heat, and let the melting finish with the remaining heat from the oil/beeswax mixture.)
I'd love to know a temperature or a temperature range to "aim" for, so that I don't get crystallization again. Someday I'd like to try adding some shimmery mica to the bars for a nice shimmer effect on the skin! (I think you did something similar with the bronzer sticks I saw elsewhere on the blog.)
I really enjoy reading the recipes, tutorials, and other information on this blog! I'd also love to see a conditioner bar recipe someday. Beauty products in "bar" form are really convenient for storage and travel!
Thank you!
Hi Malinda!
There is a bit of a debate over the best way to deal with this. Some people toss the lotion bar into the freezer to have the lotion bar and all its molecules cool down fast, which prevents the grains.
Other people temper the cocoa butter by raising the temperature on your melting cocoa butter slowly over a 45 minute period. Then, turn off your heat and cover the cocoa butter and let it cool for about 10 minutes. We've found this way to be one of the better ones to achieve a smoother lotion and lip balm look and cut down on the graininess.
But, it sounds like you did temper your cocoa butter and that is usually how we do it. How old was the Shea and Cocoa Butter that you were using? As for the temperature, we have not found a perfect range for adding in the Cocoa and Shea butter, but we have found that it tends to melt whenever we add it in.
And, if you are looking for shimmery lotion bar type product, we have a fun little recipe that we did a few years ago that I think might work just perfect for you:
We've Got the Cure for your Winter Leg Blues: http://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/lotion/weve-got-the-cure-for-your-winter-leg-blues-2/
I hope this helps!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
That was the recipe I was thinking of! I just don't know if I want the brownish/tannish color of the bronzer, so I was thinking maybe a gold mica instead.
The shea and cocoa butter aren't very old– I only got them a couple of months ago. I'm thinking that maybe things were just hotter for some reason this time. I may try cooling them faster– that sounds like a doable idea. Maybe put them in a bed of ice? (Not sure about being able to find room in the freezer, LOL!)
Thank you for the suggestions!
You can totally use a gold shimmer mica instead, I'd suggest trying out the Light Gold Mica.

Hello! I had exactly that happen to me with the grainy thing! However, all was fine in the beginning, I live in Florida, so when the lotion was out on the counter and it got warm, it went all grainy. For the life of me, I could not figure it out! I remelted them all, poured again, they set nicely, and then I popped them into the fridge, and they are good. I left a little out on my counter to see what would happen, and it did go grainy again after 2 weeks. The grains feel like shea butter, they rub into the skin, but it doesn't look very nice! Two things that could be the reason – I used UNrefined Shea butter, and I added 1oz of Grapefruit seed extract,which may be too much – so I thought it could be that, but, not sure! I love them, they look so great, but it would be nice for us to figure it out! I have a few more, and I will make a new batch this weekend doing the very low/slow method, and let you know how it went.
I just got done making these — I love spilling some of the mix on my hands (LOL) automatic lotion. Mine made 20 push up tubes – I was glad I didn't double it like I was going to — I needed 20. Now I have extra stuff on hand to make more when it's time for Christmas gifts. YAY I love this recipe
We are so happy this worked out so well for you! We always appreciate feedback on our recipes and how they work for our customers. Happy Soaping!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Love The lotion bars and body balms, Devine! I have a question with regard to the Dry – flo, could you give me an approximate percentage weight to use when making balms, whipped butters etc. For example instead of 1 or 2 tablespoons, would it be 5 or 10% dry -flo out of the 100% total formulation? I ask because it is so much easier when you are weighing out your ingredients using scales using either grams or ounces!
Thanks in advance!
Hi Michele!
When using the Tapioca Starch (Dry Flo)we suggest starting out with using about 1 teaspoon per ounce of product and you can even go up to 1 tablespoon per ounce. I'd start out with deciding out how much product you want to make and then measuring out the Tapioca Starch at 1 teaspoon per ounce. I hope this helps!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Thanks Becky, another question! When you say 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon, do you mean a heaped or leveled spoon?
Also because T starch is so light is it not better to go with weight rather than spoons for consistency?
For instance 1 leveled tablespoon is going to weigh significantly less than a heaped spoon. Sorry about all the questions!
These bars are amazing, many of my friends have commented on how they heal cracks, eczema, etc. Love them.. what other oils can you use instead of jojoba or sweet almond? I saw some sites mentioned using olive, coconut, even apricot kernel oil but I wasn't sure if the recipe would need tweaking. I've been using the 1 part oil, 1 part beeswax, and 1 part butter with great results for jojoba or sweet almond..
Hi Crystal!
You can also try using Apricot Kernel Oil, Hazelnut Fixed Oil, or Peach Kernel Oil. You can use the same measurements, but I would still try the frozen spoon trick to make sure it is the consistency and feel you are looking for.
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Apricot Kernel Oil: http://www.brambleberry.com/Apricot-Kernel-Oil-P3206.aspx

Can replacing almond oil for grape sees oil really change the consistency of. Recipe?
Hi Aami!
IT can change it a bit, but you can always test out the consistency with the frozen spoon trick. he best way to test the consistency of your lotion bar is to use the frozen spoon trick. You'll need to put a couple of spoons in the freezer and work on your recipe. When you are ready, you dip your frozen spoons into your liquid mixture and it will harden up immediately on the spoon. Once it hardens on the spoon, you will be able to feel and see the consistency of your lotion bar when it hardens. From there, you can make any adjustments to your recipe as needed.
If you have any questions about the frozen spoon trick you can watch this video that Anne-Marie did where she used the frozen spoon trick while making candles. But this trick can work for any hard lotion bar or candle. =)

I want to try making lotion bars and wondered if it is possible to add either fresh or powdered goat milk? Would I need to add a preservative? I appreciate any advice you can give. I love your tutorials and Brambleberry products!
Hi Brenda! You can try using fresh or powdered goats milk in your recipe, but if you are going to do that, I would suggest adding a preservative to your product, just to keep it safe!
-Becky with Bramble Berry
Hi, just a quick question. Would I need to add a preservative to this recipe to be on the safe side?
Hi Lynn!
Because there is no water in this recipe, you don't actually have to add a preservative. If you introduced water to this recipe, we would suggest using a preservative. But, since it is all oils, you don't have to unless you want to. =)

[...] sure your colorants are oil soluble. Soap queen has a small tutorial on doing layered lotion bars http://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/lotion/lotion-bar-love/ __________________ We are the Preservative [...]
I am pretty new to the soaping world, but love this project. i've purchased the kit, but was wondering if i could color these with some of my color blocks instead of mica? would this affect the end result?
Hi Adrian!
We'd love to be able to use the color blocks for the lotion bars, but they are actually only made for use in M&P soaps as they are actually concentrated blocks of color in glycerin (M&P) soap. We suggest using mica in the Lotion Bars for that fun color. But just make sure not to add too much, you wouldn't want the color coming off on the skin. =) I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

About Kate Love
My brother and I inherited this apartment from my mother. We spent our teenage years as American ex-pats in this apartment before we both moved back to the USA for school, work, then marriage and family. We commuted daily by train to school in Lisbon. We made lasting friendships and feel very connected to Portugal. We wish we could be there more often. Recently we renovated the apartment in the hope that more people will enjoy what we enjoy and that it will be used more frequently. The neighbors are very pleasant as is the location. We have friends and connections that can help us personalize a visit for you with insider information and recommendations.
Kate Love purchased this condo in 2004
Why Kate Love chose Parede
Our mother chose this apartment (which we have since inherited) because of it's location. She never drove and it is ideally located to public transportation. It is in a residential neighborhood with every amenity and is close to one of the more popular and best beaches along this remarkable coast line. Our mother chose Portugal because of it's beauty, unique character (very different from Spain) and because it was less expensive than the rest of Europe. It still is. We refurbished and furnished the apartment to accommodate today's needs and it is a modest but sunny, happy and comfortable home with modern conveniences.
What makes this condo unique
I return to Portugal at least once a year to visit friends and revisit fond memories. Growing up in Portugal was a great experience and it spoiled me for food and wine. You really have to work hard to get a bad meal anywhere in Portugal. Eating out and outdoor cafe life is very much a part of the experience. After 35 years, the country still surprises me with it's easy hospitality and charm, diverse influences, incredible history, artisans, culture and earthiness .

The Liquidator has asked the Receiver to post his most recent application to the Australian court (the "Application"), in which he requests the court's input on issues related to an interim distribution of the funds in his possession, including: (1) whether investors are owed reimbursement for the entire amount of their membership fees; (2) to what extent Australia's proportionate liability scheme should be applied to reduce IIC's liability (and amounts to be repaid) to investors; and (3) the proper way to provide notice to investors regarding amounts to be paid to them. The Application can be found in our Court Papers page as well as here: link to the "Application".
Please feel free to reach out to the Receiver with general questions about the Application - however, as the Receiver was not involved in the drafting of the Application nor the Australian proceedings, the Liquidator will best be able to answer any questions you may have.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the request of the Agencies, ASIC provided the following update on the status of related proceedings in Australia:
"ASIC has been investigating Investment Intelligence Corporation and Senen Pousa and on 26 July 2012, ASIC obtained interim orders, by consent, in the Queensland Supreme Court over $3,092,799 held by St George Bank and $313,136 held by American Express Australia in the accounts of Investment Intelligence. ASIC subsequently sought order from the Court to have Investment Intelligence wound up, but prior to the trial of the proceeding, on 31 May 2013, Mr. Pousa appointed Blair Pleash and Richard Albarran of Hall Chadwick as administrators of Investment Intelligence.On 7 June 2013 ASIC filed an application to have the administration terminated and PricewaterhouseCoopers appointed as provisional liquidators of Investment Intelligence. On 12 June 2013 the Court made orders that the administration be terminated and that Mr. Pleash of Hall Chadwick be appointed as a provisional liquidator of Investment Intelligence. Hall Chadwick were subsequently appointed as liquidators of Investment Intelligence on 19 June 2013 after a creditor had Investment Intelligence wound up on the grounds of insolvency. Investment Intelligence Corporation Pty Ltd Creditors of Investment Intelligence Corporation Pty Ltd should contact Hall Chadwick [http://www.hallchadwick.com.au/media-releases/investment- intelligence-corporation-pty-ltd]. ASIC's investigation is continuing."
Though the Agencies cannot provide you with legal advice, all victims should consider submitting their claims for return of their misappropriated funds to the Australian liquidator. This will help ensure that your losses are properly recorded and considered in the Australian proceedings.
We would like to give you a brief update regarding the Receiver's efforts throughout the past few months and his plans moving forward. As you may recall, the Receiver was beginning preparations for a distribution last summer. Around that time the Liquidator was appointed in Australia, which raised certain questions including how best to go about the Receiver's and Liquidator's claims processes and distributions. Since his appointment the Receiver has been working with the Liquidator to reduce duplication of efforts where possible, and it was our hope that the Liquidator and Receiver would be able to conduct a joint distribution, thereby reducing the costs associated with the claims approval process and distribution itself. However, it is our understanding at this point that the laws applicable to the Liquidator will prevent him from participating in our claims and distribution processes.
Nevertheless, the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") has been working with the National Futures Association ("NFA"), which will most likely conduct the distribution(s) to investors at no charge. At this stage the Receiver is prepared to move the Court to approve a claims approval and distribution process, and sincerely hopes to be able to conduct a distribution in the near future. However, an important outstanding matter remains involving funds held by an entity overseas, which the Liquidator and Receiver both believe should be remitted to their respective estates. The Receiver most recently proposed the funds be split 50/50 with the Liquidator, and received a counteroffer of a 90/10 split in favor of the Liquidator. Not only does the Receiver view the Liquidator's counteroffer to be unreasonable, he also has concerns that such a split would constitute a violation of his fiduciary duties given that the Liquidator represents a more broad group of constituents than the Receiver. The Receiver has been working diligently with the Liquidator and also the CFTC, Securities Exchange Commission, and directly with the entity holding the funds to resolve the matter, but may be required to institute litigation against the entity to recover the funds. The Receiver and Hohmann, Taube & Summers have opened a separate matter dedicated to recovery of the funds, and the Receiver and his counsel have discounted their rates by 50% for fees incurred pursuing that litigation. It is the Receiver's goal to obtain resolution regarding the funds prior to conducting a distribution in the event the Receiver obtains additional funds for the Receivership Estate, as he hopes to conduct only one distribution.
As a related matter, the Receiver would like to clarify that the Liquidator and Receiver are in fact engaging in separate claims approval and distribution processes. Therefore, investors should anticipate providing the Receiver with information in addition to and separately from any information sent to the Liquidator. The Receiver will let investors know when, where, and what to send his team as the time for a distribution nears, but nothing is needed at this time.
Thank you for your patience, and as always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We will continue to update our website and Facebook page with any significant updates, and ask that you monitor the website regularly in the coming months as the Receiver begins to prepare for a distribution.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12/13/13 Update:
Please see the links below to documents recently received from the IIC Liquidator in Australia. The links consist of: (1) a notice of the Liquidator's meeting of creditors, to be webcast from Brisbane, Australia next Thursday, December 19 at 10:00 am (various local date and time conversions are listed in the notice); (2) an appointment of proxy form for voting purposes; (3) a formal proof of debt or claim form; and (4) a committee of inspection nomination form.
It is our understanding that investors must submit the Formal Proof of Debt or Claim form to email@example.com at least 24 hours before the creditors' meeting to be eligible to vote on any resolutions raised in the meeting. It is also our understanding that investors will be given additional time to submit the form for determination of individual losses and claim amounts in the Australian proceedings, but we continue to suggest that investors submit their proof of claim form to the Liquidator as soon as possible, and list all losses (including ProphetMax membership fees and investment amounts that have not been returned). To the extent you have specific questions regarding the voting process, appointment of proxy form, committee of inspection nomination form, or proof of debt or claim form, we recommend you direct those questions to the Liquidator. The Liquidator has suggested that all questions, either related to the forms or general questions to be addressed during the creditors' meeting, should be sent to email@example.com at least 24 hours before the creditor's meeting. All forms other than the Formal Proof of Debt of Claim form should also be sent to email@example.com.
It is our understanding that investors must register at the following link to participate in or view the webcast: http://events.knowledgevision.com/staging/MELB_HALL_CHADWICK.html. Also, it is our understanding that in addition to submitting proofs of claim, investors must register at the following link to be eligible to vote: https://www.polleverywhere.com/register?p=2m5rx-1jtd&pg=ED8pHGy. The Liquidator has posted both links on the left-hand side of his website: http://www.hallchadwick.com.au/iic.
We have received a number of messages from investors that they have not received a response from the Liquidator to questions related to proving claims and/or filling out the proof of debt or claim form; the Receiver will request that the Liquidator address this issue in the creditors' meeting, and again suggests that any specific questions are sent to the Liquidator prior to the creditors' meeting.

Belotero is Over-hyped and Not for Everyone - Albany, NY
I have full faith in the injector but the product...
I have full faith in the injector but the product not only failed to smooth my upper lip lines but actually exacerbated them. This was one month after the initial Belotero injection. It created weird puffing that created a ridge on either side of the lines that made them deeper. One vertical lip line after Belotero looked more like a scar than a line. I had the product removed and am having Juvederm re-injected. Belotero was a major disappointment for me. It may work for some, and I'm sure it does, but it is by no means the latest and greatest of fillers.
Read 4 Comments
Thanks for sharing on RealSelf. Sounds like you are happier with juvederm. Just out of curiosity, why did you switch to belotero? Just to see if you liked it better?
I used Restylane for lip augmentation a year or so before switching to Juvederm on the recommendation of my injector, and between the two, Juvederm lasted the longest and gave the most fullness. Still, there were a few vertical lines that it did not seem to address completely particularly one on the upper lip line. Frankly, I succumbed to the glowing reports in beauty magazines about its wondrous properties, and it certainly sounded as if would address these errant lines. It didn't; I had it removed and Juvederm reinjected. May all of our mistakes be so correctable!
At least it was dissolvable and now you know juvederm is the injectable filler for you! But I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, it sounds frustrating and expensive.

The Weekly Apple FAIL Update
Posted October 23, 2012 at 09:00 pm by egzthunder1
OK. This isn't exactly a weekly update, but the battle that seemed to be over just a little over a month and change ago is still seeing some remnants of action. 10/11/12 was a fantastic day for Android enthusiasts as well as Samsung and Google since the patent-based ruling over the Global Search feature on Android was overturned by an Appeals Court in the US. When this happened, we all saw a faint ray of light coming in through the iCloud and hoped that it was only the beginning of something good. As it turns out, over the last week and a half, we can say with confidence that the iClouds are clearing a little, and more hope is coming through. In other words, people are beginning to realize that the entire ruling was ab. . . READ ON »
LIVE: Samsung Developers Q&A at Big Android BBQ

More Devices, More Love, No Triangles – Triangle Away Reaches v2.05
Posted October 15, 2012 at 09:30 pm by Jimmy McGee
Unless you have been living under a rock, you know what Triangle Away is. If you don't, Triangle Away is a way to reset the flash counter on Samsung devices. That's right. In their infinite wisdom, Samsung decided to keep track of the number of times you flash custom firmware to your device. Obstinately, this is to allow them to deny warranties and blame the hardware issues on unauthorized firmware. The logic seems flawed with the solid firmware available on XDA.
Recently XDA Elite Recognized Developer Chainfire released an update to his Triangle Away application, ticking the version number to v2.05. This latest update adds support for the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE G. . . READ ON »
Need a Samsung USB Jig? Build Your Own
Posted October 12, 2012 at 11:00 am by Former Writer
The USB jig for Samsung devices can be immensely useful. When used properly, they force a Samsung device into download mode so you can flash firmware over Odin and restore it to working order. It is especially useful when you've broken pretty much everything and need a fresh start. Additionally, it completely resets your flash counter. There is an application that can do this called TriangeAway by XDA Elite Recognized Developer Chainfire, but it's always good to have additional options.
If you find yourself wanting to enter download mode easily, you can build your own USB jigs. While making your own is nothing new, there is now a thread posted with a step-by-step photo guide to creating you. . . READ ON »
Samsung Aware of Exynos Documentation Issue
Posted October 9, 2012 at 03:45 pm by Will Verduzco
Those who have followed the Samsung development community recently have no doubt noticed the current difficulties caused by a lack of proper documentation for the Exynos SoC. While Samsung has traditionally acted favorably towards the community, the lack of documentation is hampering aftermarket development efforts.
Because lack of proper documentation makes it much more difficult (or impossible) for the developers to work with the devices, several high profile devs have expressed their distaste with the situation. In fact, XDA Elite Recognized Developer codeworkx of Team Hacksung and the CyanogenMod team has shared his difficulties, and stated his plans to drop support for Exynos dev. . . READ ON »

Samsung, What Did We Do to Make You Hate Us? – XDA Developer TV
Posted September 26, 2012 at 05:00 pm by Jimmy McGee
According to most reports, Samsung has almost 45 to 50 percent of the Android phone market. Being the largest Android phone device creator has it benefits. Samsung has often cooperated with developers, and we have created a great relationship with them. This relationship has created many great results. However, there seems to be a growing apart in our relationship lately.
XDA Developer TV Producer azrienoch calls Samsung out. Azrienoch talks about Samsung's past and gives them recommendations. What do developers and enthusiasts like to do with their phones? What is the point of open source software? To find out azrienoch's answers to these questions, check out this video.. . . READ ON »
UART USB Guide for Galaxy Devices
Posted September 25, 2012 at 09:30 am by egzthunder1
Once upon a time, a white knight in shinning armor by the name of XDA Elite Recognized Developer AdamOutler brought us tons upon tons of knowledge on hardware specifications for the Samsung Galaxy Captivate and a few other related devices. He and a few other devs like XDA Forum Member TheBeano and Recognized Developer UberPinguin also brought us the key to opening up an door for hardware mischief, and in turn revealed an entire world of possibilities for aspiring devs and end users alike. Not every device is the same, and certainly setting up UART can have its set of complications, including but not limited to, messing your device up to the point of no return (also known as completely bricking it).

Remotely Control Samsung Devices from Your PC with TeamViewer QuickSupport
Posted August 28, 2012 at 09:30 pm by Haroon Q. Raja
Want to access and control your Samsung Android device from your PC? You can now do so easily and securely using TeamViewer QuickSupport, which was just released in the Google Play Store.
While TeamViewer has been available on Android for some time, previous versions only allowed you to remotely control your PC from your Android device. That is quite a useful feature, but at times when you're working on your PC, it's handy to be able to control your phone or tablet from the same screen without having to manage multiple devices and input methods. TeamViewer QuickSupport lets you do just that.
Unfortunately, the app only works on Samsung' devices running stock TouchWiz ROMs based on Gingerbr. . . READ ON »

We have been showing movies for the past 3 Sundays but next Sunday we are going to show "God's Not Dead" which was just in the theaters a couple of months ago, so we are praying and hoping for a big turnout! It's a great movie, so I do pray folks come to watch it; enjoy themselves; and then come back on Sunday to hear the new series by the same name. Let's pray and ask God to work!

It's Tuesday, July 29, 2014, so I thought I better post to record how things are going this summer. We are showing movies on Sunday night now for the month of July and have shown 3 movies with our biggest movie coming up this coming Sunday night which is "God's Not Dead" which was just in the theaters a few months ago. We pray for a big crowd and hopefully some new folks who need to find a church home. May God bless our efforts. We also continue to hang curtains, paint boards, put down a new floor in the kitchen, and use our talents to paint baseboards, paint quarter-rounds, and just make the church a beautiful building in which we all can come and worship God. I appreciate Jim and Marjory and it's quite evident that God sent them our way to help us with all these building projects; they sure are an encouragement and their help is just overwhelming at times. It's hard to tell where we would be if we did not have them doing so much of the work these past weeks and now months; we have been blessed to keep our 30 plus congregation over the summer months despite lots of folks going on vacations. Ginny has now painted the kitchen and the nursery and made both rooms quite appealing and beautiful. The nursery has a magnetic wall to hold things for the kids to see and play with and both the teen room and the children's room have painted chalkboards to aid in the lessons the teachers bring out to the children. So, a lot is happening at Life Pointe and God continues to bless us and our efforts. Hopefully we will see a "harvest" soon.

Just thought I would post another quick post listing a few items God has orchestrated over the past few weeks! On the first Sunday of June we were still at Round Hill but the city school folks didn't really want us in there any longer. So when we were there the second Sunday too, I know they were not quite happy; still we then told them we had to be in there one more Sunday which was Father's Day and on that Sunday they had continued work so that a wall in the cafeteria was gone and the backyard was all tore up and gravel and dirt were in different places, so I knew we would have to be gone soon! So then after that 3rd Sunday, someone called and told us on Wednesday I think, that we definitely could not be in the school the following Sunday; seems we had exhausted our extended stay time but wouldn't you know it; we were told on Wednesday we couldn't be in the school anymore and then on Thursday, the very next day, were approved by the city inspectors so we could then move into our new building. Talk about closing one day and opening another one! Literally, that is what God did! So I love it when God is that clear to us! Takes out the chance of me messing things up! So we are enjoying our new home knowing it is where God wanted us to be! Amazing Grace and an Amazing God!

Wow, here it is July 8th, 2014 and so much has happened since my last post! Lots of things to show God has provided us with "things" we needed and has blessed us with things that only He could have provided. Whether it is something for Life Pointe Church or something for my son Andy and his friends that were traveling to London, Scotland, Paris and several other places too! God is indeed good and showed Himself mighty! As for Life Pointe Church, we had our very first Sunday service on June 22nd, 2014. That is 06-22-14 for our very first ever service! That is amazing and astounding news when you think this is something we have been looking forward to for over a year! We're in the building!!! It just seems so hard to believe that we are finally in our new building! That's the BIG, BIG news and it has been so much of a blessing these past 3 weeks; things are looking good too, it seems every time we go into the building something else looks a little more like a "home" for those who will visit and for those who are in the Life Pointe family. It is just so good to finally be "home" in God's new home! I can write so much but I'll do that later when I have more time, but for now, "We're in our new church home!" and that's great news! Praise the Lord!

June 6th was a special day both for Ginny and I celebrating 33 years together and Brett and Melanie celebrating 16 years together, plus Andy and Lindsey going to honor those special men and women who made the Normandy D-Day Invasion and eventually our freedom possible, in Bedford at the National D-Day Memorial but also because we got some more things done at our future Life Pointe Church home. We finished out the day with eating together and then Andy and I had to back to our building just to make sure everything stayed safe and sound. We then worked on the building on Saturday, June 7th accomplishing a few more things, so God is at work. But Satan is also at work and has been trying to discourage us with various trials, but "Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world" so we must stay strong and focused on Jesus who is the author and finished of our faith. God will help us but I will admit it's been a little tough here lately; we must be doing something good and right for the devil to be after us. But God is good and will see us through these fiery trials, just like He did the Hebrew boys in Daniel chapter 3. Jesus is in every fiery trial that comes our way, so at least Jesus is with us. We just have to keep trusting Him; and now here we are at Camp Ta-pa-win-go for the week so may we again just keep trusting God to work in our midst.

Andy and I worked hard last night, getting a small hole dug so we could put up our handicapped sign at the new church parking lot. Being a small hole, it still took a strong steel dig bar to make it through the present pavement and down through the hardened ground. But, nevertheless, we made it with Andy even digging our some of the dirt and gravels with his hands and a plastic spoon. I told you it was small hole! But the sign is in the ground; now we just need to concrete it in for permanency. Ginny and Tamra have also been busy painting the teen room with some bright, stripes, and it really looks good! So things are coming along quite nicely. May God continue to bless our efforts to honor Him with our new church home! I know I sure couldn't have done this without the sacrificial help from a lot of people. Thank you all for what you have done! May God richly repay you!

God is good; all the time. All the time; God is good! We say that and sometimes say it so quickly that it loses some of the meaning but truly God is good and does provide and is a constant source of protection; provision; and Presence, in that He is with us. Today I got some oil and a filter to go along with the other things Joe is doing for our van, so it will be ready to make the tip to Tennessee and Camp Ta-pa-win-go. Joe and I are memorizing scripture together so that helps us to honor God and stay more close to Jesus. He is a good friend and a blessing. The van will be fixed by the end of the day after having some mechanical problems yesterday. I also mailed a letter to someone today who needs both encouragement and perhaps a reminder to return to the place he was before drifting away from the Lord. I also just got a driver lined up for afterschool and then I also have the possibility of obtaining a "panic" bar for the door at the church and it would be much cheaper than what I thought I would have to pay for it. So God provides and helps and instructs and blesses. God is good; all the time. All the time; God is good! Thanks and praise be to Jesus who blesses us with what we need to live for Him!

Godich: Speaking of belly putters, you knew it was going to happen. Word is that Keegan Bradley is contemplating legal action if the powers-that-be enact rules to ban the belly putter. If Bradley goes through with a suit, will he have a putter to lean on?
Garrity: He'll have lots of putters to lean on. He just won't be able to use them in tournaments.
Herre: Good luck, Keegan, and I hope you have saved every last cent.
Dusek: As much as I detest the idea of banning anchored putters, I don't understand the grounds for a legal battle. The USGA and the R&A makes the rules of the game, and the PGA Tour chooses to play by them. Do we know what Keegan would base a potential suit on?
Herre: Talk is cheap.
Van Sickle: Talk is cheap unless it's your lawyer talking. Then it's very, very expensive. It would be an exciting court case, though.
Hanger: I think the ban would be silly, but I don't see how the players could win a lawsuit. The ruling bodies have a right to make the rules for the game, and the players are free agents, not employees of the PGA Tour.
Ritter: I just don't see how taking the governing body of your sport to court over a rule you don't agree with can make for a viable legal case. But yes, it would make for good TV.
Bamberger: I don't think he'd go through with a suit. At the end of the day, he's the shut-up-and-play type. How can a pro say that the USGA and the R&A can't make the rules of golf? That's what they DO. You may not like them, but it's what they do.
Walker: I don't think Bradley would have much of a case, but it would be a fun storyline for The Good Wife.
Van Sickle: Bradley is not alone. Tim Clark and Carl Pettersson would probably join him. I don't think a player revolt against the USGA is out of the question, and it's going to make PGA Tour players finally ask, "Exactly why are we letting somebody else dictate the rules to us?" Instead of a lawsuit, they'd be better off (and far more likely) to petition the PGA Tour to break away and take over as its own governing body. I think some players would go for that.
Herre: The PGA Tour pros would love it, but I can't see the Tour taking such a radical step. The Tour has always sought cover under the Rules of Golf.
Tell us what you think in the comments section below: Would a Bradley lawsuit have a shot at success?
Godich: The PGA Tour announced that the HSBC will be an official Tour event in 2013. It was the only of the four WGC events not so designated, but it is half-a-world away from Ponte Vedra Beach. Should we be surprised by this announcement?
Bamberger: Oh no. Like the detectives always say, follow the money.
Dusek: Hell no. Would anyone be surprised if more Asian-based PGA Tour events were added in the next decade?
Herre: Count on it. The Euro tour expanded to Asia out of desperation. It looks like a good move now. We'll be seeing more and more golf from the places where the game is growing.
Van Sickle: I expect more tournaments in Asia in the next few years. It's good news for the PGA Tour but, long-term, maybe not so good for sponsors of some American-based Tour events.
Walker: I'm more interested in seeing if the PGA Tour can create golfers and golf fans in China beyond the wealthy. Based on Alan Shipnuck's reporting last week, progress there is mixed.
Tell us what you think in the comments section below: Are you surprised the Tour is making the HSBC an official event?

Train Like Adrian Peterson
(Nov 25th, 2013)
By TeamSnap's Guest Authors at Driven Apps, a mobile app providing sports training tips and fitness programs.
Adrian Peterson, the NFL MVP and comeback player- of-the-year, is 28 from Palestine, TX and runs the 40 yard dash in 4.4 seconds. Standing at 6'2" 217 lbs, Peterson has a body built like a world-class sprinter. "Every drill was done as if he was running a real play in an NFL game," said Chief Creative Officer for Driven Apps, Kevin Simmons. Simmons, a former Sony developer, also played cornerback for Utah State so understands the combination of technology and sport. They call Peterson AD as in "All Day" due to his incredible strength and stamina and ability to run play after play. It was vital for Peterson to be able to give back to young athletes as well as his fans and to also give them a little taste of the type of training it takes to be in the NFL. I was astonished with Peterson's will and determination in every drill that he performed. He's so used to doing everything 110% that it was very difficult for him to back off. The shoot was scheduled for five hours -which he ended up giving seven because he just wanted everything perfect.
Train Just Like The Best Athletes in The World

Around 20 years ago, I remember watching guys like Bo Jackson and saying to myself that I wish I knew what he did for his training program. Now the mobile app world has taken us by storm and has delivered to us our wish. Driven Apps has teamed up with A-list athletes across the world and are beginning to deliver a downloadable iPhone app for coaches and athletes, showing the way these athletes train in order to be the best.

Train Like The NBA Players Do
(Aug 12th, 2013)
By TeamSnap's Guest Authors at Driven Apps, a mobile app providing sports training tips and fitness programs.
Dwyane Wade has been one of the most popular athletes in the NBA since he's been drafted in early 2000. Driven Apps has teamed up with the 3-Time NBA Champion to put together an app that allows users to train like a pro by offering access to his customized training routines, including on-court drills and fitness programming. D. Wade's training routines consist of many exercises – with a focus on movement, flexibility and strength, which are the cornerstones of athleticism for athletes in any sport. Today, we are offering two exercises from his routine, the kettlebell dead lift and reactive step-up. Both have completely different purposes; each focus on the same end result which is to keep the athlete's body strong and flexible for the demands of their sport.

CHICAGO – International hospitality design, procurement and branding firm, GETTYS, is proud to announce that The Henry, an Autograph Collection hotel, was recognized with two awards, including Global Hotel of the Year, during the recent Marriott International Global Full-Service Brands General Managers Conference. The conference included participation from all full-service Marriott International brands including The Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott, Renaissance, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, EDITION and Autograph Collection.
The Henry, located in Dearborn, Michigan, also received an award for Staff Service Customer Excellence. Tom Conran of Greenwood Hospitality Group accepted the award from Kip Vreeland, vice president for Autograph Collection on behalf of the ownership entity and the property team.
"As the executive design firm from concept to completion, the team at GETTYS is delighted that one of our projects has been recognized as one of the Global Hotels of the Year among the Marriott International family of brands," says Roger Hill, chairman/CEO of GETTYS. "Our work with the owner and operator was a collaborative team effort and we congratulate all of our team members and the development teams for creating a truly spectacular hotel with The Henry."
GETTYS infused classic elegance with modern vitality, elevating the art of hospitality in Dearborn. The Henry re-invents the experience of fine art, excellent service and comfortable luxury in a distinctive and grand environment. The striking design casts a variety of dynamic elements with suffused global charisma.
"Autograph Collection takes an innovative approach to identifying independent hotels according to unique guest experiences," says Kip Vreeland, vice president Autograph Collection. "We are thrilled that GETTYS design of The Henry has exemplified the passion behind Autograph Collection brand."
With the property situated near downtown Detroit, the hotel takes its name from all the great Henrys of Michigan and has the Henry Ford Attraction and Ford Motor World Headquarters nearby. "Design certainly plays a big role in this hotel's recognition as #1 in the Autograph Collection for 2011, and one of six top Marriott International branded full-service hotels for 2011," says Steve Nelson, design director at Marriott International. "This creative update and repositioning of a former Ritz-Carlton to a uniquely independent hotel was second nature to GETTYS, whose unique vision for this property has increased its clientele by attracting the new, while delighting the historical. GETTYS collaboration with ownership, Greenwood Hospitality, Marriott International and a local Dearborn art curator has helped define ʻBoutique Arts' for Autograph Collection," Nelson adds.
The design team was led by Michael Maurer, Principal in Charge and Ben Nicholas, Design Director at GETTYS Chicago office who worked closely with the owners, Greenwood Hospitality and the Marriott brand to create this definitive Autograph Collection property. "We brought a contemporary and sophisticated design to The Henry, bearing in mind that this was to be part of the Autograph Collection," says Nicholas. "The design highlights the artwork which played an essential role in the choice of finishes as well as the details in the guestrooms which reflect the great taste of the owners and elevates the guest experience to a new level of comfort and luxury."
Autograph Collection currently offers 32 hotels worldwide and a number of properties under development.

'10cm' of snow forecast for Hull and East Yorkshire as mild weather to make way for big freeze
Posted: January 10, 2013|
Snow and freezing temperatures are on their way to Hull and East Yorkshire this weekend.
Weather forecasters say the mild weather the region has been enjoying since the New Year is on its way out.
Snow and cold winds are due on Saturday night and Sunday, when temperatures will drop as low as -4C.
The Met Office has today issued a severe weather warning for the east coast and says up to 10cm of snow could fall in some places, particularly over hills.

Icy surfaces will be an additional hazard.
Sean Penston, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: "In the next few days it will start getting colder.
"The minimum temperature could be -4C or -5C in some parts.
"There's more of an easterly wind coming in, with the possibility of snow showers by the weekend and the start of next week.
"It's difficult to say for certain at the moment, but there will be quite a bit of snow for the east coast."
A scattering of rain showers is expected for East Yorkshire tomorrow (Friday) - with sleet falling over higher ground.
The Met Office is forecasting the worst of the snow between midnight and mid-morning on Sunday, with a possibility of more to come on Monday and Tuesday.
