Squeaky Green

Hey There!

It's A very calm Sunday here in my sanctuary called home, the calm makes me think. I laid some where in it and thought about skin. I love skin. I realized that we don't take it serious enough. I thought of the times before us, they relied on their skin to keep warm, to seduce, to tell stories and to combat harmful sun rays; okay the last one was an assumption but here is what I figured, we can purchase SPF's over the counter but what did they do before there was a counter? They ate foods, herbs, spices and relied on them to transfer their properties into their skin, thus leading...protection from harmful sun rays. Yup! Don't correct me if I'm wrong =)

I want that type of skin for my family, A skin that is healthy,resilient, smooth, fragrant and SEXY; T'is How I got into Soap Making. My understanding of Natural, Homeopathic, Organic and the like is this = Gentle Vs. Harsh. Gentle it is... Here is what happened, I was driving down a street some years ago, saw a store called "Juniper Tree" and knew I had to go inside. I'd never heard of a Juniper Tree, I had no idea what was in that store. I went in and fell in Love w/A whole New World. A World of Nature and Self. So I'm making batches of Melt and Pour, giving them to neighbors and friends (sharing is my favorite), buying books on them, selling them to people, taking classes, making and selling them in bulk as party favors and eventually selling them on Etsy.

Money was the major when it came to my products and my customers, I learned that people were just purchasing my stuff to be supportive, I would to many times find 'My Soaps' sitting in their cars for weeks, corroding in their cleaning cabinets (My Aunts) an so on...I didn't know that I had to market to A market, people who love their skin too. I do understand the Money Majors though, there are somethings that I too refuse to cash out on but my skin care stuff is not one of them... To be cont'd
