I was looking for what I would need to make soap. I searched on Shopwiki and found it to be pretty helpful. Not only does it search for the material for soap making, but it also gives some basic instructions.

As of tomorrow, we will no longer have TV.
We got cable TV for my mother in law to watch the Chinese channels. Since she’s on vacation, we are saving money by canceling TV until she comes back.
