Good Morning,
Well we are in the down hill run now before we go back to the markets our first Market is at Mulgowie on 5th March so I am just finishing off things this week.  Like labelling and shrink wrapping soaps that have been happily curing for the last few weeks and making sure all my market boxes are packed.  Have almost finished making the Sensitive Skin products as well.  

Must say I got a tad lazy last week as everyday was very hot and I just didn't feel like doing much out in the soap room at all.  It is even hard to spend time in the kitchen getting meals ready.  I never know what to get with the heat so we normally have all different salads lucky I grow most of the ingredients my self.

Do you ever find clothes with marks on them after they have been washed and don't you hate it.   I will be putting up photos soon of a new product to help you stamp this out.   All you have to do is check each item as you put them in the machine and if you think they have a mark on them that will not come out you just wet the stain stick and rub over the mark and it will disappear.  Being a gardener I am always getting marks on my clothes also oil marks from working in the soap room as well and this stain stick is just the bomb for getting all of these out.

Well not much else going on so I had better go and start soap labelling so  have a great week everyone and be kind to each other.


Blessings

Good Morning,
Sorry I have been Missing in Action the last few days as I have been away and with very limited access to phones or computers.
It is very annoying when the Telco's say there is coverage everywhere or almost everywhere only to find out that half our trip away there was no phone coverage and then when we arrived where we were going no internet or wifi as well. 
I forgot to put my booster aerial on for the phone in the car as didn't think we needed going down around Coffs Harbour but will know for next time as for the mobile wifi thing it is not worth the effort of carrying it useless damn thing it is.

Not much to report in the soap room having been away except that I have Camel Milk again and so made a heap of Soap with it before I left and that is now curing.  I still have a few items to make to be ready for the markets in March but they will happen over the next few days and then all will be ready.
Oh and I have to get some photos to show you all as well.

Is there any product that you would like to see me carry.  if there is just contact me and I will do some research and see what I can come up with.

Well that is all short and sweet this time but as i said not much going on until I get out there and start again.

Have a good week everyone and remember be kind to each other.

​Blessings

Good Morning,

This week has been a good one for getting things done.  I am happy with my progress and am on track to have everything made and ready for when I go back to Markets in a few weeks.
I cannot believe it has taken me all this time to restock although I have not been pushing myself to hard I might add and I always have my nanny rest after lunch.

A lot of my time has been taken up using the computer and doing research so when I do start back at Markets you will see a difference in my stall and product wrappings.   Can't wait to show you all what I have been upto.

I haven't been outside much this week as we have had extremely hot muggy days.  I had to go out to Post Office almost every day to post orders and some other things from my candle making days that I decided to sell.  Oh and I did go to Toowoomba one day to drop off some test items to a lady who is going to let me know how they go.  Already have had a veto on one so will spend time trying to come up with a better product for that one.  I wasn't really happy with what I had turned out but needed a second opinion.
I am so glad that my car is air conditioned as it was so necessary this last week.

Don't forget that this sort of weather makes the head lice run rampant so to help with their control my Nit Zapper special is still on so check it out on either Facebook or the website.  It is a bargain.  Next door has their grandchildren staying with them and come over to get some as the girls went to have a sleep over somewhere and come home with them.
 Everyone in the house has used the Nit Zapper method just once and they have gone.  

I have never had the nasty things but can imagine what it must feel like as I get an extremely itchy head from nerve damage plus my head overheats and I get like a sweat rash through out so I use my ACV Shampoo bar (Apple Cider Vinegar) then I rinse wit ACV/water rinse and this seems to help.   Every now and then when my hair 
feels a bit dry I rub the lotion through and leave it on for a couple of hours then shampoo the lotion out and Voila nice soft hair again.

If you have a child that suffers with sleep hair you know what I mean it is soft and tangles into knots while they sleep then you need to try my Forget me Knots Detangler.  It really works and is also good for controlling the fruzz that some hair gets.

Well that is all of my Ramble for today so hope you all have a great
weekend and remember be kind to each other.

​Blessings.

Good Morning,  
Oh how I hate this humidity we are having here in QLD.  I don't mind it being hot but when you drip everytime you try to move it is a right pain.  I am running the dehumidifier all day in the soap room so that the soaps that are curing stay dry.
Anyway it hasn't stopped me working as I just carry a hand towel around and wipe my face and neck when it gets to bad.

I am still working on restocking the shelves and only have a few more batches of various cremes to make.  I finished off all the lotions last week and thisweek will be doing face, foot and hand cremes.  also been making Goat Milk Dinosaur Soaps as they disappear pretty quick at the markets so best to have a stash.

Remember the question I asked about the Lotion bottle tops whether you wanted pumps or the flip tops.  Well the consensus is for pump tops so I will be putting pumps on all lotions and keep the flip tops for shampoos and conditioners.  I will carry som spare flip tops to the markets as well so if you want one just ask and I will give you one.  I decided not to include both with each bottle as 
a) it makes packing in the crates very difficult (I have to fit everything in one foam box)
b) I would have to charge more as each lid costs me upto .70 cents.
There will be a bit of an overlap as some bottles have the flip top
on them but eventually all lotions will be back to the pumps.

I have a couple of new products out being tested at the moment
so once I get the results back and only if they are favorable they will be put into production.  Hopefully it won't be to much longer but I can't tell you much about them yet.

Well I am off back to the soap room before it gets to hot in there to do anything.  I have fans going in every room and the house is not to bad as yet but once the sun gets over to the western side then it 
gets to be air con time on days like this.

Stay well everyone and be kind to each other also don't forget the fur and feathered variety need looking after as well in this heat.  I am off to check the water dishes are full as well.

​Blessings.
