You know something? I haven’t made any cold processed soap since Christmas day. Today, I did restock my father’s body butter. He tells me it does a better job on his skin than his store bought lotion. Folks, that is high praise coming from my father. He’s not one to go overboard in stating why he likes a product. I just make sure I keep his body butter fully stocked.
And although (in the last few weeks) I haven’t been making soaps, butters or any other skin related items, I have been doing some behind the scenes work that does involve skin care. A few more ingredients have arrived in the mail as well as an updated appliance and… I’m making sure I have all my ‘ducks in a row’ regarding the business aspect before I officially launch my product line. Tomorrow, I’ll be updating my whiteboard calendar with some of my business goals and I already added a few items to my Franklin Covey planners. I use the Classic and the Monarch. I’ve found writing down my goals holds me accountable and keeps me on target.
I still need to write about the fabulous pine tar soap that I made last month and also about the transition to purchasing my ingredients in bulk, and… making my own collapsible wooden soap molds, but… those will be posts for another day.
Tonight, I’m enjoying New Year’s day with my daughter and my brother and nephew stopped by to hang out with us until tomorrow. My sister in law didn’t make it this visit. Here’s hoping that you all had a great 2017 and a fabulous 2018!
