WOW! Things have been busy in the soaping kitchen. I've been making body butters and I just learned how to make bath bombs. Now to decide what to continue making this week.
Not too hard really. I need to make another batch of Memory, and it's time to start working on my fall and winter/holiday soaps soon.
Pumpkin soap with real pumpkin, and Christmas soaps. Lots of ideas, and I want to make body butters and bath bombs to go with each soap so people can get a package gift.
So far I have made only Lilly of the Valley Bath Bombs but I want to make Mango Tango to go with my Mango soap and My Mango Tango Body Butter, Lemon Meringue too and of course Lilac. Then on to a Caramel soap, body butter and bath bombs, and Buttercream Snickerdoodle Body Butter for one of my besties. It's going to be a busy week.
So, one of the questions asked of me is "What do you do with the money you make off selling" well, that's an easy answer - I put it right back into the business for supplies. Fragrances, Butters for body butters, oils (that goes without saying). Yup, no profits yet. No going out to dinner on a few bars of soap, nope it all goes back into the business. There is always something I need, I'm running out of Fragrance Oils and I definitely need to get more butters - but I need to start buying in bulk.
That being said, I have an exciting announcement!
My sister got in touch with a person who was a patient of hers and they run a perfume company. This person is interested in meeting with me to discuss how we can work together! No more Middle Man. Soon I will hve all my fragrances custom blended just for Mrs. Finnegan's Finest Soaps.
Well, I am off for now. Packages to prepare for shipment and Bath Bombs to make. I can't wait to make some soap too. Blackberry Vanilla for Christmas with lovely purples, golds and cream's. It's going to be wonderful!! Stay tuned.
