green-tangerine

I have one that I make up for a few spa clients in big ziplock bags. It does bubble a bit because of the slsa but you could leave that out. Its really basic, I use course pickling salt first, add the fo and colour if you like, mix that around well so the course salt is taking the moisture, I then add sea salt, mix that well by that time there isn't any moisture left. I then add about 1/4 cup cornstarch. Its a nice soak.

Does anyone know how these hold up in the heat at shows? I'm putting mine is jars so I was wondering?

Thanks so much!!

Angela

So you don't have to let it cure at all? Sounds great!

Thanks so much! I tried these and they turned out great! I made littler ones with a flower shaped ice cube tray and they were perfect for my feet! I go barefoot all the time and they needed a little TLC.

Thanks again!

Angela

Thanks for the reply! That was what I was thinking but wanted to make sure.

I'm going to try making room spray with the 91% alcohol, water and FO that was mentioned before. Has anyone used the aluminum bottles for this? Can you forsee any problem putting it in these bottles? I just always wonder with metal for some odd reason! :rolleyes2

Thanks for any input!!

Angela

Mines always clear. I agree maybe its castor oil or could be a body wash base of some sort.

Richards seemed to have more before? Don't know why. When I talked to someone there before Christmas she had said you can order stuff from McKernan through them. You would have to call and talk to her yourself in case I misunderstood. But she had said they have a $200 minimum whereas McKernan has a $500 minimum and ships UPS.

Sure! Here's salbro http://www.salbrobottle.com/Scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=38

Here's richards http://www.richardspackaging.com/catalogue.html

Hope that helps!

Hi Jen, have you looked at salbro bottle in woodbridge? Or there is richards packaging, you have to buy by the case if you need that much. Richards has a $200 minimum but was told they owned or were owned by Mckernan so you could get bottles McKernan advertises.

I always find it hard to find just the right bottles and then to have cases shipped from the US is such a pain!

Good luck!

Angela

That sounds really pretty! I have some little tins that I tacked on to another order a while back. I haven't had a chance yet to play with them. I found the dollar store now has the little cherub tins again.

Angela

Thanks Jen! I don't need anything right now. I will though when you order from Aroma haven ( I think thats it)

Angela

It's a hard decision to make! My company name is Green Tangerine and no matter how I do my labels everyone assumes the fragrance is green tangerine. I have had my company for over 5 years. I think I might confuse people and then having to change everything. Its hard to know!

Angela

Sounds like it worked out great! I also sounds like you called her bluff bringing the old owner.

Good for you!

Boy they sound bad! I did a show at a local arena. The lions club put if on with a free skate. Its a pretty big arena with 2 pads so I thought it would be great! Parents would be there for the free skate and the other was hockey practices. I know when I go to practices I would have loved to have something else to look at. There was lots of people coming and going and they had blinders on! Straight in , straight out. I sold 4 lip balms!

The high schools I have done, I find none of the students or parents show up to support it.

If you are looking for lip balm tubes ther is a place in BC serf to surf that includes shipping in the price.

yes , you have to buy a case from Richards. There is this place https://www.salbrobottle.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=57 I haven't bought from them but have called. The ones I look at aren't in stock though.

hope they can help you at Richards!

I know what you mean! I have started placing orders once a year from McKernan. They have a $500 minimum but by the time I get bottles , jars, aluminum bottles and pumps it adds up . They have all I need. Have you tried Richards packaging? I don't know if they have a division where you are? The person I talked to recently there said they own McKernan and can get their product but have a minimum too but not as high.

I bought an HP printer that just prints, I had an all in one but it wasn't doing a great job. I kept it in case I need to copy or scan. The HP has the seperate ink 5 in total plus the larger black. seems good! The poster who has the paper spit out, are you on a quick print setting? I find when mine is it scares me half to death! It seems to grab the paper print and then spit it out in about 2 seconds.

I love your site, it is so sleek looking! Mine always seems to need so much work!! lol

Hey Cara! I haven't tried her fragrances YET!! Let me know if you do. I love the colours and the prices for them.

Angela

You should be fine and like you say it gets your name out there! Start now though!! I am so bad for putting it off! I always figure I have loads of time and then have to go in overdrive the two weeks before the show! Do you make lipbalms or things like that that don't take long to do and they fill the table?

Angela

Those all look really great! Linette I love that green, it really suits the fragrance!

Angela

Those are great looking!! That rolled one is so neat looking!
