I wasn't able to find cheap baskets and I had half a day to put it all together. We were required to have some holiday theme on our tables.

And that is exactly what happened... I made half of what I did last year :( I didn't have soaps last year I had headbands and hats at a higher price point than single bars of soap. So although I had probably more sales, I made way less money. I was counting on the gift baskets and there was just...

Well today I am not even selling singles. Slow morning

Also yarn is crazy expensive and I have a pile of hats that suddenly stopped selling...

OMG replace 'selling soap' with 'photography' and you have the story of my life. I want to scream on a daily basis at all the wannabes. Can I use this quote next time I get crazy and mad at all the well ... noise for want of a polite term.

So, I'm one day into a two day fair. I figured I never made much money selling single bars so I stayed up late last night making gift baskets. All day sold single bars and guest sized bars and not one basket! I was counting on the basket sales to actually make some decent money. Any ideas...

Just visited voyageur for the first time! Sniffed all the fragrances. Hubby chose coffee cake for himself.

I use it in all mine. More in the shampoo bars, I think 5% in my regular bars.

Tropical breeze is in the mould. I seem to remember major issues with this fragrance last time so I added just a little at a time and it behaved perfectly.

Introvert here. I'm over markets, I just don't do well at them. I'm sick of doing so much work and only making back my booth fee. I'm going to find another way to sell soap/prints/stuff I make. I have found that some people will talk to you for half an hour and not buy anything, and this more...

Yeah she really didn't give me a chance to ask any questions. She wrote the scripts and walked out the door! Didn't even examine me and no I didn't get a chance to tell her about the mosquitos, soap or anything else. For a first visit I was very shocked. I guess your skin itching and burning...

No answers at all from the dermatologist. She barely looked at me, said it was chronic urticaria and wrote a script for the same meds I was already taking.

I might then. I hope I won't notice, it's my shampoo bar. I am way behind in my soap-making for the Christmas market and would like to get this one in the mold today - I only have one mold.

I was trying to eke out the last of my shea butter so I adjusted my 2 lb recipe for 2.5 lb (I also have a 3 lb version but I knew I didn't have enough for that). Unfortunately when weighing the oils I was 50g short of avocado oil - didn't see that one coming. What can I sub it with? What should...

Oh my gosh. Want.

It started in the spring after being bitten by mosquitos. Now it's fall and my meds aren't working anymore. I hadn't used anything new soaps or otherwise. Many of my soaps don't even use FOs. I'll try liquid Castile for a while. Skin really hurts today.

So if you use the same soaps with nothing new you shouldn't suddenly develop issues? I just want to rule it out. All summer my skin has been going red to the touch and burning and my allergy meds are no longer working so well. Still two weeks until I see the dermatologist. I think it is an...

I'm just throwing this out there - has anyone become allergic to CP soap over time? And if that is even possible, what are the symptoms?

These look amazing!

Warm cider - I think I'm getting the hang of swirling. And the reddish one is holiday bliss.
