    Thank You. Were you the one that posted the other ones? I think those ones were so much cuter than mine. I got the molds from Planet Molds. I am not liking them much. The soap does not want to come out of them at all.

    I didn't put a white layer of soap on top. Instead, I just used some white soap shavings. I tried to do the white soap whipped thing and it wasn't happening.

    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.

    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

    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

    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
