Well it's only been 5 months since my last blog post. I know, ridiculous. That alone should tell you how incredibly busy we have been. For a while I felt like I was living in a haze, surviving merely on gummy bears and coffee. (Don't judge me) Summer went by so fast, and business was better than ever. We made new wholesale contracts and are now in 3 states! Yay!!! We purchased barcodes, and invested in a professional logo to be done. I have to say for months I had this idea in my head of what I wanted, but couldn't seem to get it down on paper. I finally reached out to a local design company and the rest...
How have almost 3 months gone by since I have posted a blog entry. Well life happened, I have been busy networking, running my farmers market booth, taking on new wholesale clients, working on new products and recipes. Wow... that was exhausting. Top Trip Rentals recently did an amazing feature on us, and is now carrying our soaps in all of their vacation homes for their guests to enjoy. I can't say enough good things about this company. (Small fact, I used to work for Chereen, the owner and she's the best boss I have ever had! I started as her nanny while I was in college, and moved on to be her assistant while she launched Top Trip Rentals....
Well after what feels like months and months of waiting for our new stainless steel tables to arrive, they are finally here and the soap studio is just about complete. This week has been full of good news, surprises, and lots of band-aids. We signed a deal with a local boutique in Austin to feature our products and we couldn't be more excited. We were also accepted into two local farmers markets and can't wait to get set up tomorrow morning. We have been busy scrambling trying to get our new line of spring scents labeled, our hand salve bars poured and in the midst of that attempting to keep my sanity and stay focused. Here are the new...
Well the website has been up now for about a week, and I have to say I could NOT have done it without my amazing computer nerd husband. When he started talking about Java scripts, favicons, DNS servers, and migration it was like hearing him speak in another language. Needless to say, after days of perfecting it, and receiving great feedback from my friends and family the website is up and running smoothly. Yes honey, you are an AWESOME, INCREDIBLY HANDSOME, SMARTY PANTS!!!!! This weeks big launch was the 2oz lotion bars. I searched for weeks to find the right container to pour them in, and finally found some that didn't look like deodorant tubes. The thought of being at...
Well after months of testing recipes and making batches of samples I am thrilled to announce that we are finally open for business. For years I have searched for household products that didn’t have additives, dyes, and artificial ingredients in them. It’s impossible to find them without breaking the bank. As a mother of two, and an avid coupon clipper I decided to start testing my own recipes. The idea came to me one day when I was cleaning and desperately trying to achieve that “clean smell” in my kids bathroom. I then realized if I made my own products and used the same common ingredients the house would smell so much better than bleach+fabuloso+febreeze. (Which by the way is...
