A New Business Endeavor (Project of the heart)

cross-post

Most of you know my medical struggles. At the end of last year, I was feeling really blue and needed a distraction. I dove headfirst into soap making. I confess - it's addicting

Now, I didn't want to make cookie-cutter products, so everything is limited edition, and many have very fine body glitter to, well, make it sparkle!

Of course, the muse didn't stop there. I ended up with sugar scrubs, bath salts, aromatics, spices... well, you get the idea.

I am reaching out to share the site in the hopes of networking. The beginning is always difficult. I'd also love your feedback.

Thanks for looking

Lye? Do you leach it from wood ashes?

That’s the old timey method.

I have done cold process

but melt and pour is safer (no fumes)

I actually started making lye soap 30 years ago using directions from the 1800s

Admirable! I recall using lye soap when a child.

Nobody dared cuss. Otherwise one had to chew soap. Yuck.

I truly wish you success.

Looks good, have you thought about also selling on ebay?

I like how ebay shows me the sellers positive/negative ratings. ebay might be a good way to get more traffic to your website.

That's nex. Have to decide what I want to put there as a test run

Glad you found a distraction

Hopefully it will keep you away from your addiction of bashing Christianity.

Hopefully you will stop lying about me

I do NOT "bash" Christianity. I do speak out against people who don't walk the talk, and those obviously trying to manipulate others.

This is a gentle reminder: lying is a sin
