Yep just started planning and researching trends for next year so I can get a head start on some tricky new soaps and have plenty of curing time

Me too. I'd really like to start selling this year.

I’ve made 30-40 lbs of soap in the last couple of weeks. It’ll be ready for the summer and Christmas!

How do you decide on what scents to make for the year?

Some are bestsellers and I’m just replenishing stock. I made my scent decisions a long time ago when I bought the FOs. ^_^ I stopped making stuff that didn’t sell (people like mint soap but not peppermint soap!)

Several are limited edition or one-off scents that I mixed myself. I didn’t think they were all that great and they don’t really add much to the stuff I have, so I won’t be making more, but they were worth having for the seasonal variety.

Some are destash fragrances I got off Facebook and I am using those as limited editions.

I also make often make 5lbs in one go, so 5 loaves or 50 bars. It doesn’t take that much more time than making 1-2 loaves, and it saves me recordkeeping time.
