I have always made candles and haven't played around in the B&B field. I want to start experimenting and possibly making some Christmas gifts. I know there are a lot of good suppliers out there but for my learning purposes I was hoping to find a local resource to save on shipping charges and so forth. If anyone has any ideas if you can pick up some products like essential oils and some basic oils like soybean, jojoba, avocado etc. I would appreciate it. Thought about looking at whole foods but if they carry it- it may be more than buying from a supplier and paying shipping. I guess I would love any experienced feedback before I invest too much money. Thanks! I am thinking along the lines of bath salts, sugar scrubs etc.
