Life is fairly hectic here at the moment but I must find more time to do my rambles and Facebook Page as you wouldn't know I existed if I didn't.
I am so busy in the soap room as have a couple of large orders to get through and several logs of soap to make as well as some cremes that have disappeared off the shelves since I have been back at the Markets.
Thank goodness I have understanding wholesale customers who give me plenty of notice for their orders to be done by or I would be up all night getting them done. Instead I can do it and be relaxed about it as not rushing around.
Speaking of rushing had to do a mad rush up to my wholesaler yesterday as needed some supplies in a hurry. That was a nice break as we stopped at the Big Pineapple on the way back and went on the train down to the zoo. I just love the little Tamarind and Capuchin Monkeys they are so cute and so lively. We didn't visit the friendship farm as after walking around the rest of the complex we were tuckered out and glad to get back on the train which took us past all the friendship farm animals anyway so we saw it after all.
The animals all look in good condition and their pens are so much better than at the old zoo. Mali the sun bear has 2 big hammocks in her enclosure and she gets fed 5 times a day. She looks sleek and shiny. I loved the old Emu wandering around making his whoomp, whoomp noise whenever you spoke to him and the albino wallaby came right up to us for a head rub. These animals were just wandering around in amongst the other pens. Snakes are not my thing so kept away from them as they make me feel creepy all over.
Now it is back to work in the soap room as soon as I finish my coffee.
Today I have plans for finish a wholesale order of very special Lip Balms
and adding to the tally of the guest soaps as well as hopefully getting a few logs of soaps made and some of that oh so lovely Foot Balm.
Have you tried the Cool Foot Balm I love it and use it every night on my feet before I get into bed. Helps my legs settle down settle down so that I can sleep. Can't do without it.
I am using the AWASSI SHEEP MILK SOAP at the moment and I have to tell you I am very impressed. The soap is rich and creamy due to the high butter fat in the milk and it is full of minerals and vitamins A,B,D and E my skin is softer and smoother. I will have it at all the markets I do from now on or you can order it online.
Well my coffee cup is empty so that is my cue to exit to the Soap Room
so stay safe everyone and remember be kind to each other.
Blessings,
