  1. hmmm that sounds like a plan. where can i get one at a regular store other than ordering one?
  2. Hi, I usually bottle my lotion with the zip lock bag but this time it's just a pain and mess to do it that way. Any other suggestions? i have a 4 oz boston round bottle to put it in...
  3. wow, that's expensive now that we can sort of make our own...
  4. I was wondering how you would package a dry mask mix though. I was thinking a 2 oz jar with a small plastic scoop tied to the side with organza ribbon to make it pretty? I was thinking that baggies would make it look like something else... any packaging advice?
  5. HI, I was approached by a kids resale shop to do goodie bags for their customer appreciation day. I wanted to think of something fun for the kids but still keep the adults in mind. I do the usual b&b stuff, lotion, bath salts, bombs, creams, lip balms etc. But I wanted to package something together as a cute set, but still be very kid friendly. Any suggestions? I'm just stumped, thanks:)
  6. I use the weatherproof ones with my ink jet printer and then spray them with a matte sealer from the craft store. The sealer I use is good for sealing charcoal drawings so it worked well with my labels. I had the problem of my ink scratching off, but this solved it.
  7. I buy an unrefined shea from Oils By Nature and it's really nice. The color is a light beige but it does still have that shea smell. I can't seem to get the natural shea smell covered up either. I can mask it a little by using EO's or FO's in a berry scent. Any other scent dosen't really do it at all. I'd love suggestions too!
  8. well, WSP has a new section of 'all natural' fragrances. I was thinking this was the way to go in my line. Of course, some of them are EO's, as I like those better anyway.... Any suggestions on any other supplier that has all natural fragrances? I had never found one before.
  9. HI, I am switching to all natural fragrances for my bath and body products. this includes lotion, balms, foot scrubs and other stuff. Below is the list of what's available so far to me. Which ones do you think would be most popular? I picked these few becuase they're available from a local supplier that I can pickup from. Appreciate any advice:) Vanilla Mint Ginger Pink Grapefruit Lavender Orange Patchouli Ylang Ylang Summer Honey Bananas & cream Honey Almond Cucumber Dreamsicle Honeydew Melon Lemonade Maraschino Cherry
  10. WOW, those look really nice. I was working on my lotion label. Do you just download the clip art yourself off a website and type in the info next to it then? It seems like you use a different picture per scent of lotion to go with that theme?
  11. Candybee, do you have a picture of your label? I too use the Avery and I can't seem to get it to look professional enough. I have a 4 ounce cosmo oval green bottle with the white 5163 size label. I cut the rounded corners off and put in on lengthwise, and then another ingredient label on the back. What bottle/size label do you use?
  12. HI I hate to ask again but OT and kangaroo Blue don't list Monoi oil anymore. I found one place in TX that has it but it's $29/lb. I'm in OH, any help would be appreciated... thanks:cheesy2:
  13. HI, I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for the standard pond's cold cream? I was going to try in my self but I don't want to use Mineral Oil. I use it to take off eye makup and I want to make something more natural. THanks:)
  14. I too use the Germall Plus in my lotions. It's worked fine for me so far. I only use the Snowdrift check it kits too to test right now. I don't send anything out yet either. I use this at 1% up to 74% water ratio. If I use any higher than 74% water, up it to 2%. I found this out the hard way when a facial lotion I was experimenting with had black fuzzy mold in the container after 3 days in my jar in the bathroom. Yuck!
