Yep that is the one.. her and I have hit it off like two peas in a pod - we get along so great and work together as a team wonderfuly .. it is like we have known each other forever.. and everything just keeps falling into place for us.. everything was ment to be.. and yes girlfriend.. thank you for sending her to me.. :highfive:

I am in the process of purchasing a business with a friend - it is a well established upper scale hair salon. We are going to be tearing out the massage rooms as well as the tanning rooms and remodel to put a gift store in. The way we want to rebuild - will almost seperate the two businesses - but not completely - they will blend perfectly together. Her husband does rebuilds, so we just need to get the supplies for the rebuild. Oh it is so nice.. The kitchen that is already in there for me to make my candles and soaps - is almost a dream "kitchen" for any house (I was thinking the other day that I am going to be nervous to mess the cabinets up etc) We are going to be putting only homemade products in our gift store. Our new gift shop is going to be called Country Charm. We are getting the business for $19,000 - the owner is going through a divorce and this is the outstanding amount owed - and it is linked to the house and the house cant sell until that is paid off.. the lease is $1325.00 per month - there are 4 hair cutting stations where each of the girls pay $425.00 per month so we will already be ahead $375.00 to pay utilities. We are meeting with the owner again today at 5 and then one of the senior stylists at 5:30 -they both are so very excited about us purchasing the business.. We hope to have the rebuild completed by the end of May.. Anna and I work so well together - everything has just fallen into place for us.. she has owned several other businesses before (a hair salon and espresso stand) so she knows more of the in's and out's in that area than I do, but what each of us has to offer - ofsets the other.. it is a great business relationship.

The oven trick is what I do.. I think I am just plain ole' lazy.. lol :rolleyes2

That is what I was afraid of.. it is such a PITA.. but worth it in the end.... I guess.. Thanks for the reply..

do you have to clean the molds out every time your pour??

Has anyone used this from Pourette? http://www.pourette.com/product.asp?Product_Id=22969&d_Id=6982&l1=6982&l2= What do you think of it? Thanks.

Well I decided I better get in gear and make some soap since I about sold out over the holidays. The first one is Fruit Slice; The second is Oatmeal, Milk and Honey with dead sea mud added for the color.

Very beautiful.. love the look.

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments..

I am out of HTP83's.. have some LX's that I havent used in a long time... any suggestions to what is a close matech to the 83?

Can I use Caster Red Turkey in place of Caster Oil in my CP recipe?

Looks great Kim - I remember when I had that operation - and had so much fun playing around.. of course the pain meds helped me right along... glad to hear all is okay with you now - been eyeing your creations.. everything looks awesome! Keep up the great job :highfive:

Thanks - I think a 52 is what I used before.. grr - I am in the middle of converting all my business stuff from one computer to my laptop.. and I am still on the search for my note document.. I will give the 52 a starting point.. thanks again.

I dont typically carry the 4 oz tins, I have one wholesale account that orders them - but I cant find my notes on what size of wick - does a HTP 52 sound like it might be right.. this is with 6006 - I was debating between that and a 41... I have searched and searched for my notes on my computer.. you know the drill - they are probably right in front of my face.. anyway.. any suggestions would be much appreciated... Thanks.

Oh yes - I am so lucky they arent far from me - been buying from them for years.. just picked up 55 cases last week.. they know my by voice when I call and my hubby right away when he picks the order up.. very friendly and great customer service.

Awesome color choice.. even if it wasnt what you intended.. looks perfect to me.

Looks great - perfect color choice.

Who has the best fo in this scent.. I know that MMS, Natures Garden and Millcreek are a couple that carry it.. I am looking for something - right on... any feedback is much appreciated. I had this for a while, and didnt really promote it, now my wholesale account is wanting a dead on fragrance in this scent... TIA

Thank you for the replies.. really appreciate it.. :smiley2:
