  1. i make it. if your gonna make it play with it. my biggest seller is my oatmeal scrubbie soap i use a goats milk base add ground oatmeal, honey and powdered goats milk everyone loves it
  2. the joys of liquid dyes. i just use 1-4 drops of brown liquid dye depending on what i'm making. prob why i don't have alot of bakery stuff cause everything looks the same
  3. well thank you then lol. i still stand but i lke your mold better it actually looks like a tub
  4. ohh i love that first choker with the flower its soooo cute.. i want one lol
  5. i posted mine a while ago and had 3 different versions someone else posting her moms soaps more recently and the ducks themselves were also soap so i'm not sure which you were reffering to lol.
  6. i like them their really cute i like you molds better then mine i just use a plain oval mold
  7. make sure you post pics of whatever you make i wanna see lol
  8. Here ya go.. this one is actualy lback and purple kinda its neat
  9. i do candles, soap, lotion sprays, and lip balms i'm testing out a couple new things to add too. i definitly reccomend adding to the line. none of my stuff sells well enough alone to make anything out of it i currently offer 4 soaps one soap being a best seller, you never know whats gonna sell for you at one time sometimes the main thing that sells is the soap other times just the lip balms and candles. you never know so having a wide range of products in a range of prices will help you out i have stuff starting at $3 and my highest priced item is $15 it works cause no matter what people usualyl find something like that. i know that doesn't answer your question but.. its someting
  10. yeah handmade beauty network look that up in this forum cause if i'm not mistaken their name has changed and if you have any soap products (even M&P) you can get it through the soap makers guild
  11. italian biscotti, red apple, butt naked, monkey farts, bermuda triangle, in the mood, passionate kisses
  12. lol i guess you could label me as a 'rock' chick i've gone by punk and goth too (never been goth but forsome reason if your fav color is black and thats the only color your shirts come in ehh people forget how slimming black is) but yeah anyway all of my chokers are a black cord of some sort with some type of silver charm usually something that will settle nicely in my little circle hole thingy in my collar bone (yes i'm edumacated) my favorite is a resizable black cord with a large square shapped charm with a black onyx stone in the middle i would def go with a black silver combo cause it will go with anything. also something to think of which i have never found one a again and lost my original was a black and white cameo absolutly gorgeous and it hung from a black knit choker. even a victorian style cross or something i can't think of what else their called but something big and fancy looking would really 'rock' ETA if you want me to post pics of the stuff i have just let me know
  13. WSP sells the shrink wrap bands they just tear around the lid which is great
  14. yes when originally posted it had the borax then after poster was informed of the borax problem they removed it from the original post
  15. the borax was removed from the recipe midway through this thread due to studies showing that borax is not safe for B&B products... i think that is either on pg 1 or 2
  16. that is gorgeous good job.. i always loved those things
  17. how bout something like 1; A company based around yada yada yada 2; to specialize in bringing you the very best in (insert your prodcuts here). ETA, Like a definition would be written out in the dictionary, have one sentence kinda describe you company a little and the second describe your products
  18. thats PAINT?? cool looks like you stiched it on or something
  19. so on sunday me and brittany decided wth lets do a u-sell (ok we decided before that but did it on sunday) u-sell is a big outdoor flea market. so we pack the truck and are there at 6 am stayed until 2 only made $83 after booth fee. a big ol waste of time if you ask me but... we did learn something. some guy who works in marketing stopped by our table took a business card and started a conversation with me complimented out products and our displays (now i'm tryin to remember this convo to the best of my ability considering it was lik 10 degrees at this point and in order to talk i had to take my scarf off my face) he gave us some advice on what not to do and gave us some ideas. 1. don't waste time advertsing in newspapers. you get a percentage of who sees your ads with a newspaper 40,000 people read the newspapermaybe half a percent will read your ad, about 10% of the will actually look at your stuff and then only a percentage of that will actually buy 2. Take a pic of your display with little to no backround junk. take that picture to a drugstore where most will print photos for about 20 cents. print out 100 4x6 photos of your display pop a sticker with your info on the back and mail them out to 100 people thats about 50 with postage for each postcard. if your mailing them to peoples houses they are gonna read it its in their house and there's a chance they will show it to someone else. if you mail it to an office you've got even better chances because there is the original secretary that gets the mail she'll see it show it to other secretaries. 3. sex suprisingly doesn't sell as well as people think.. Sports are the number one seller, followed by religion, then followed by sex. there was more but my brain is still trying to thaw out
  20. i dunno but i get spam mail everyday for all KINDS of things candle makers needed in your area, bath and body makers needed in your area... my fav we have a free yankme candle just for you
