I opened a small shop!

Yes! About 6 weeks ago, I began renting a small space inside of a mini-mall, where a variety of vendor show and sell their wares. I was (and still am) a bit nervous about doing it, primarily because I have had much success in the past. So, I chose the least expensive space. It was toward the back of the mall and most people come in and go straight upstairs to the thrift shop.

But I am becoming more positive as the weeks go by since I have been able to make enough sales to enable me to continue renting. And today I moved to a space that is a lot more visible. The rent is a little more but I think it will be worth it.

It also turns out to be a little bit bigger so I will have to get to work making more products to fill it up. Anyways, I have a lot more traffic now. Ok! Gotta go! I have a customer......!

Bath fizzie bomb experiment

About a week ago, I attempted to make a batch of bath fizzies. I have been thinking of adding them to my product line for some time now. Well, they didn't turn out very well visually. I think I added too much witch hazel since the reaction started and cause my rounded bombs to look like blobs. :(

I let some of them cure anyways. I added one to my bath today and it was more than I expected. I was just hoping that it would be fizzy and fragrant. It was that and it also made my skin feel silky smooth.

I guess I added the perfect amount of skin-loving oils. The next experimental batch, I'm planning to leave out the witch hazel altogether. I'll let you know how it goes!
