    "We" or "I" on labels?

    This is great, I didn't even think to take the pronouns out all together. Thank you! Agreed! I'm trying to find a balance of looking professional on social media, but also wanting to bring in some of the personal, and showing more of the process, etc. I think it definitely helps when people...

    "We" or "I" on labels?

    I've struggled with this when it comes to social media posts. I'm the only one working in my business, but for some reason, I tend to lean toward using "we" when posting because I tend to think it makes the business sound more professional. Maybe I'm considering myself and "the business entity"...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I have two shows coming up in early November, so this last week I made my final batches of soap for those shows. One is some guest-sized leaf soaps (good for Thanksgiving) and the other is a batch of my regular bars using BB's Cashmere fragrance. I did an ITP swirl which I haven't done before. I...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Having a five-day Labor Day weekend holiday meant lots of soap work got done! I love being able to work on the business in a big chunk like that since its usually just nights and weekends due to my full-time job! • Added sparkly micas in gold and silver to the tops of the Christmas tree soap...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Last week, I soaped in a new location for the first time! However it was out of necessity because my house is currently being renovated due to water damage so I'm staying with relatives. I made some more cupcake soap bases and star embeds last week, and over the weekend, made a batch of bars...

    What soapy mistake have you made today?

    I've made rebatched soap that looks like spam too! Or some sort of raw meat concoction o_O Needless to say, I kept those for myself!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Well, I decided to take a rest last Thursday, so I didn't get to any of the stuff on my to do list for that day. But so far today, I've done lots of non-soap making soap stuff to get caught up! :) - posted lemon lavender soap to my online shop - finalized July newsletter and scheduled for July...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I managed to finish frosting the rest of the cupcakes last night! Had a bit of an issue with my piping tip getting clogged, but was able to sort it out pretty quickly to get the rest piped. I also managed to get one of my newer bars posted to my shop and shared on social media. Tonight's to do...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Yesterday I went home at lunch to unmold the first batch of cupcake soaps so I could wash and reuse the molds for round 2! After work, I made between 24-30 new cupcake bases (can't remember exactly how many off the top of my head), did more soap dishes (they never seem to end!), melted a jug of...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I felt pretty productive this weekend, but didn't get to half of my planned list for the weekend. Its tough having a soap business and a full time job, as I'm sure a lot of you know. Most of my soap work gets pushed to the weekends! This weekend I managed to: 1. Photograph some new bars to post...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Today I masterbatched enough oils for three batches and ordered a new stick blender and some storage bins. May mix up some lye tonight so I can do some soaping tomorrow. Need to restock my rosemary mint!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Over the weekend I sent out my second newsletter, activated an online sale on some bars I'm looking to move out of inventory, cut two loaves into bars, and signed up for my second-ever craft fair. Its not until November, but I already feel behind...time to ramp up production!
