Yes, I'm writing this as I see the end of AI. But it's kind of fitting. I've found a new love.
Last Christmas my mom and I started making soap (for her) and candles (for me). At first I was blah about it. I do the majority of the work and felt like someone wasn't too happy with my work. Shocking I know.
I still feel that way but this past week I've been absorbed with it. Mom sent out notices that we were going to be making Mother's Day baskets. And I put it off as long as I could.
See to begin with I hate crafts. It's stupid in my opinion and DIY is totally for the birds. But lately, my allergies have been killing me when it comes to scents. I can't really use most Bath and Body stuff because of that so I had already switch to mom's soap and the last couple of Yankee candles I had been given, I can not use at all!
So I've been trying to think of this as our business. So I'm loving it. And it's all natural. Soy wax, real oils and butter, I get to play with lye... it's been fun.
And we actually sold some of these! And people wanted more afterwards.
Ok so the candles still suck but I'm working it. Need more wax.
and soon we are going to add lip balm!! that really has me excited.
Yep it costs a lot intially but the cost per is soo much cheaper than the store (any store) and it's natural. Or at least I plan for the lip balm to be from scratch like the soaps.
Anyways, we'll see how this endeavor goes :)
