I saw that right after I posted here.....
-
Lots of soap and sugar scrubs to make on my list this weekend. Finally back in the groove and feeling better about it. Also working on updating my website. Taking the grandkids to see Paw Patrol Live on Sunday.

That's crazy. I don't understand how some placed decide on shipping. I quit ordering from some places because of the crazy shipping charges unless I need a bunch of stuff then I'll bulk order.

I received my Pink Chiffon. Not sure about it OOB. It seems to be missing something, I can't put my finger on it...maybe some warmth. I'll have to try it in some product to make a final decision. I'm not getting the same as the Bath & Body works that I have left.

I was bummed when it was discontinued. On another forum one of the gals is trying a product that has a very similar makeup and if it works once she tests it she's going to see if she may be able to do a co-op deal on it. She's not sure of the cost yet to know if it will be cost effective. I used it at 10-15% but I know others have gone as high as 25%. Candybee, let us know if cera bellina works. I don't have any or I would give it a try. Might have to order a little.

Yes, that would be awesome. I certainly need all the help I can get.

Okay, my daughter wanted to try using the two Cricut's we have to print labels as I finally got a logo. I worked and we did about 200 labels. We printed them on my laser jet on 8x11 gloss label paper from Online Labels. The drawback it there is a lot of waste on the paper. Could only get 8 labels on a sheet. She designed an oval label 2.5 x 1.75. I have been using Avery ovals for years and just struggled getting them lined up. Also, as others stated it's timely but having two going made it faster.

The Eucalyptus Mint is a pretty good seller in soap and scrubs as well. Forgot about that one.

I don't make candles but B&B. Coconut Cabana and Vanilla Champagne are two of my best sellers in scrubs and lotion. Vanilla champagne also sells well in roll on perfumes and soap. Unfortunately the Coconut Cabana doesn't stick in soap. Morphs to plastic.

I get the beige from Soaper's Choice but I don't think you're going to find it anywhere that cheap. https://www.soaperschoice.com/shea-butter-unrefinedshea-butter-unrefined-2 I haven't been able to find it any cheaper than this.

I got my light box and just gave it a simple try. I am pleased as punch with it for 12.00. Here's a few taken with my Iphone and nothing else done to it. Not bad at all. Will be better once I do some adjustments. Sorry about how big it is....
-
Unfortunately there's really no way to give you a number. It varies from show to show for me. I just take what I have. I make soap for example and I'll take 300-400 bars. Scrubs 40-60 or more. Lip balm 100-200. I may not need it all but I have it.

I just recently ordered it from WSP. It was one of my favorite colognes before Bath & Bodyworks discontinued it. I plan on making my own if it's any good. Should be here in a couple days. If it's not close I'll have to try some of the others mentioned.
-
I recommend taking as much as you can. You can never guess what will sell best or how much business you'll have. I don't sell candles but do B&B and I take everything I can. Nothing worse than running out of something knowing you have it at home. Especially if this is your first time. Shows are a lot of work but I love doing them.
-
That turned out very pretty. Love the container. What a great gift. I'm sure she'll love it.
-
I just recently purchased a few of Nurture's but I too use them in B&B not candles as I find they a bit pricey as well. I used their 8th & Ocean last weekend in soap and it moved to just about soap on a stick in a tried and true recipe. I have a couple others to try in the next few weeks. Can't remember which.
-
Those are lovely! I to have not gone that low. I pretty much use 6% (1 oz ppo). The only exceptions are really strong scents, then I'll go down to 4%
-
What a great and creative idea!
-
I don't have a Pink Lemonade but Raspberry Lemonade from WSP is really good in soap, scrubs etc.
-
I find her so entertaining.
-
I actually made the sugar scrub with the foaming bath whip from WSP. I didn't care for it. I found all it did was exfoliate but didn't add any conditioning aspect to my skin. I prefer emulsified scrubs. I like the lotion like feel when using them and I don't need lotion after using.
-
Thank you for sharing!!! I ordered one, fingers crossed it helps with my crappy photos.
-
I'll never purchase fro them. Not the way they handled things. I'll give Keystone my business first. Plus as Trappeur said, better prices and cheaper shipping.

Welcome back. I too have decided to scale down offerings. I had over 30 fragrances in soap and 15-20 in scrubs not to mention lip balm, lotions etc......I'm taking my fragrance offerings down to 15 maybe 20 most. Scrubs 10. It's so hard to keep up with so many.
