It seems such a long time since I rambled on to you all. The days just seem to be flying past and I am not getting as much done as I wanted to during this Market free time but never mind as it will still be waiting for me to do it whenever I decide I can.
Have lots of things happening in the soap room at the moment so not all is lost. My first lot of home grown Cucumber and Aloe Vera soap is ready to sell and I can tell you it is such a lovely silky smooth soap so check it out.
Also have had feed back on all the new products that I sent out to testers for trials some are ok some are not and I will be making the ones that are in the next few days so they will be ready for when I go back to the Markets.
This week I will be labelling and getting soaps shrinkwrapped ready as well.
These soaps are restocks but yesterday I did make a new one it is a plain jane as no colour was added except for a few pink jojoba beads I sprinkled on top. I wanted to see how white my soap would turn out however I did use some flavor in it just to see if they make the soap go darker as well. I cut it last night and so far it is staying white but early days yet.
One of the soaps I will be getting ready for sale is the new Pine Tar Bar. This soap is supposed to be a big help if you have skin problems like excema or psoriasis. I suffer with itchy scalp and no matter what I use I am always scratching so I have just started to use this instead of the Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo Bar (another new one) so will see if it helps with that condition as well.
Did your Grandma or mum use a black ointment when you were little. Mine did and I have found a recipe that uses Pine Tar and activated Charcoal. This is a good all purpose salve or balm depending what you want to call it. It does not make you skin look black. It is great for drawing out splinters or healing scratches and insect stings etc. You have to cover with a bandaid and leave it on for a day or so. Now all I have to do is label it and it is ready also.
Remember a few weeks back I was talking about a secret liquid I was getting to make soap then the deal fell through. Well yesterday I picked up the secret liquid and I have made one soap log already this morning so stay tuned as once it is ready to cut I will let you know what it is.
Well guess that is enough of a ramble for today don't forget to check out the pinned post on Facebook to be in the running for some free soap.
Blessings and be kind to each other
