  1. HMMM Bet that got your attention :) I was looking at meat ballers I have a little one and it seems to be working better for me than the whole ornament thing. I was wondering what the avereage size is. I think I am going to go with the egg crate idea that was mentioned in another post so what size meat baller would you get to get bath bombs that size ???

  2. it's that "Please hold my hand" mentality that people have, besides the laziness...

    ok sorry...I wont keep going...:D

    hmm think I have another post and that is the exact title

    "need a hand Holder"

    I really don't mind helping people but I'm not a huge fan of people e-mailing me on my website and asking me how to duplicate my buisness

  3. Sometimes I do give the name of my suppliers. For example, when someone asks where I get my candle jars, I tell them the name of the place. The catch is that you have to buy in bulk from them. Got room for a pallet (300 cases) of jars? ;)

    I'm so mean ... :laugh2: But I do buy in bulk to save. :grin2:

    LOL I though about telling them I would be more than happy to hook them up with the oil at twice the price I paid. I'm thinking that these people don't know what they are doing because the scents in question are carried by very few suppliers but if you google them they pop up. If you are just looking for the scent it's not hard to find. If you are asking me exactly which supplier I preffer now thats rude :)

  4. i sell my bath bombs naked at craft shows, however when i get an order for them that is to be delivered i package a single bomb in a small poly bag with a bow and label on the bag. for my four and six pack bath bombs i sell them in the egg cartons. i have to agree with everyone else, they surely sell extremely well naked,

    where do you find egg crates at ??? sorry I'm not sure I've seen them anywhere.

  5. the one I used was roughly

    1cup baking soda

    1/2 cup epson salt

    1/2 cup cornstarch

    1/2 cup citric acid

    1tbs melted shea

    1 1/2 tbs oil

    1/2 tbs fragrance

    3tps water

    colorant

    the recipie called for wilton food coloring but that didn't work with out the water and I stated omiting the water so I was using Oxides for color. the biggest problem I had was they marshmellowed on me after a few hours.I have both the ornaments and a meat baller .... I am interested in the alchohol method. I live in AZ so we don't have too much humidity.

  6. I think it's pretty rude, it's like trade secrets, but then again, we all share. :undecided

    ???

    I think it's diffrent when you guys ask .... most of you already have the suppliers bookmarked it's not like I'm giving you the keys to the Porsche. I tell my customers where to get the oil why in hells bells would they still be my customers ??

  7. I have been asked to make bath bombs :D My last couple trys at this have been a disaster. I need someone who understands whats going on to help me out !! You don't have to give me any trade secrets just need someone to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong :)

  8. Lately I have had several customers ask me where I get my oils from and if they can use the perfume roll-ons to make other products. I usually tell them that It wouldn't be a good Idea because I add other oils to the roll ons to make them a good strength for the skin. I can't imagine why they would expect that I would tell them exactly where to get the supplies to duplicate my products !! I am just wondering if the rest of you have people ask you who your suppliers are etc... I guess it just amazes me that people would ask that question Isn't it kinda rude ??

  9. I know we all talk alot about the bad ones so I though I'd tell you about the good one :)

    I made a wholesale order with www.lgrandintl.com/

    for some effusion lamps and was getting concerned because he was super fast about sending wholesale info etc.. but it had been a week and no invoice :( I sent two e-mails and got no response. I was starting to get really irritated and a little peeved because I was really looking forward to putting these on my site. well this morning I open my website e-mail and there is a message from him saying he can't get ahold of me I went and looked at my Juno address and sure enough he had responded 8 times and it had been sending it to the trash :mad: the guy actually took the time to find my contact information on my web site.... sometimes I guess it really is a big mix up :)

  10. Hey Michi,

    I promise we don't think you are trying to get us to buy anything in fact we brought it up :). I will buy candles somewhere so give me the opportunity to get the warm fuzzies at the same time by supporting a good cause after all thats what fundraisers are all about :)
