I agree with the above. I will bring other busy work to do like folding brochures, restocking, or wiping labels clean. Which brings me to the other reason I don't cut, plane, or package soap outdoors or sell unwrapped soap: air-borne dust and grime from the parking lot and passing traffic, kids...

I've never bought riced cauliflower so for me the trick to drying it out/roasting it to concentrate the flavor has been cutting it small and slicing it thinly. I vary it sometimes by adding a small handful of minced dried tomato, or by adding cream or even small chunks of cream cheese to it.

I usually work with oxides, ultramarines, and clays for coloring my soap. Now my niece has asked me to make two types of soap as guest gifts for her upcoming wedding in April. Her husband's bath will be royal blue, which I think I can do with what I have on hand, but my niece has her heart set...

A customer who had vacationed in Canada was looking for a fragrance that resembles a popular Canadian spruce flavored soft drink...I've never been to Canada and am unfamiliar with it. Do any of the Canadian members know what she might be talking about? Have you ever come across a pine/spruce...

When I lived in Italy, I taught English to a group of older women who were young teens during WWII. They told me of how when there was no soap to be had, wood ash was saved and soaked in a bucket of water to be used, as was, to scrub the floors or boiled with clothes to clean them. They didn't...

In my spam today, up popped this, supposedly written by a doctor on a website called healthydirections.com and I have to vent : "(intro)......Instead, you can make your own natural, homemade sunscreen out of vitamin C powder. Vitamin C plays a potent role in diminishing the effects of...

I don't see that they sell wholesale. I sell (sold) my sisal soap bag for less than they charge retail.

I'll have to give it a try. Now I'm looking for real cello bags. The suppliers I used to buy from have gone to PP, but still call them "cello". I tried using them for the "soap in a bag" soaps but the PP ones crinkle and distort and you can't clearly see what's inside, which is the selling...

I've never bought from either source. Have you had good experiences buying from either one?

Thanks IrishLass, I've seen those but the choices are limited. I like to cut my own luffa slices to a different thickness than they offer, and I don't really like the "ladder" style wooden dish they have. Soapania had several different sizes and styles to choose from. The luffa pads that WSSP...

I'm looking for wooden soap dishes, soap saver bags, luffas, manicure and back brushes, etc as accessories to my soap. I used to be able to get a wide variety of these products from Soapania in VA. Since the embargo on trade with China and now covid and supply chain problems, they are out of...

I made my first small piece but didn't know if it was going to be a bird bath or a planter so I didn't put a drainage hole in. Now I've decided it will be a planter so I need to drill a hole...I hope I don't break it trying. I'll post a picture when it's done I'm going to try a larger trough...

Equal amounts of Portland cement powder, peat moss and perlite or vermiculite. Water. Optional colorants. Recycled cardboard boxes, take out containers, plastic bowls, anything that's the size you want to make...mix it to thick mud consistency (holds its shape but doesn't ooze liquid). You can...

I'm on the East Coast and buy from them twice a year and get enough to qualify for the pallet rate. When I need something unexpectedly i just bite the bullet and pay whatever the shipping comes to.

Always bring the same amount of change, it makes doing the books easier. A money box or apron for making change. Receipt books or some other way to keep track of what you've sold. People do ask me for business cards, I print my own on heavy biz card stock from Staples, because I can update them...

I got an email from a guy - I recognized his name and looked him up in my records - he bought some shaving soap from me a couple of years ago, so yes, he's a customer but not a regular. He claims to have a big Instagram following and he proposed posting product pics and testimonial in exchange...

I collected some wild jewelweed seeds in a park and planted them in my native-plant garden about five or six years ago. The first year it grew where i'd put it, but the plants never got very big. The next year, a few came up but they obviously weren't happy where I put them. Every successive...

I make a honey soap with goat's milk and it comes out fine. I line the entire mold with bubble wrap, one strip covering the bottom and ends lengthwise, and an overlapping wide piece that covers the bottom (so the bubble wrap is doubled there) and up the long sides. After pouring the soap, I...

The USPS just raised prices again, now it's close to $8 to mail anything in a small flat rate box or in a padded flat rate envelope. It can cost a little less to send thigs locally in normal boxes, but for me on the East Coast, anything going west of the Mississippi can get expensive. I'm...

Italians are very picky about their pasta, ime. I like thin spaghetti for this, but you could do it with other types of pasta that have ripples or hollows to pick up the vegetables. It's not a "sauce" per se because it's not liquid, but the softness of the cauliflower and the binding power of...
