    easy web store?

    We do use Woo Commerce on the Guild's (Canadian) website and it has been created in Wordpress. Now that it is set-up I'm not having problems running it.

    I had the guest make simple kitchen recipes like sugar scrubs (oil and sugar) and they loved it. I also had them each wash their arm with a commercial soap and then my soap. Sold well.

    Is Heat & Hold Necessary For Lotion?
