Growing up poor and being stubborn sparked my creative interests. We never had much when I was growing up but My Mom always managed to get us what we needed. She sewed a lot of our clothes, came up with creative and inexpensive craft ideas for us (and several neighbor children) like gods eyes with yarn and popsicle sticks (which all the neighbors would save for her), and making homemade ice cream in orange juice cans. She taught me ways to make things inexpensively or to come up with a workaround.10 years ago, I bought a container of scentsy wax melts from a friend. They were $5 and as an adult, Im financially stable.. but the shipping was $7. Thats $12 for 6 smallish cubes.. Genetics kicked in and I thought, there MUST be a way I could make these cheaper. So I did.. A year later, I started selling them.Was watching a video on wax tarts and the video after,, was liquid soap making.. and I fell down the rabbit holeThe stubborn comes in when I got to Hot Process soap and everything that I read about being limited in design if you do HP. Dont expect to be able to get swirls, or HP is good if you like rustic-looking soap etc etc. It became my challenge to do exactly what they said I couldnt.not sure if all of that counts but there it is.
