*Jellie* Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi EveryoneI'd love to start a B & B business that incorporates my two loves anything to do with honey and Egypt ( i know sounds weird, but my dad is a beekeeper hence the honey thing and i've been facinated with Egypt my whole life) can anyone help with ideas on how i might be able to match the two together esp a name or what other honey type products i can sell along side the bath and body stuffI've got as far as thinking about adding honey and essentials oils that the egyptians used into products but thats it. Any help would be greatly apreciatedHave a lovely dayJanelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazerina Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think your themes fit right in with the whole Egyptian culture...think 'Milk and Honey'. There are SO many milk powders and variations of milk powders, honey powders, clays, that make wonderful B&B products. I would create a line of milk and honey milk baths and or salts, then incorporate specific EO's, herb infusions, etc to each to market each one as being for a differnt benefit. Like Camphor, Rose, Eucalyptus for a muscle releif bath. Then do one with Lavender, Chamomile, and something for Relaxation. You might have to do your research if you want to be true to the Egyptian culture and what they had available at the time, region, etc- OR you can say 'It's what Cleopatra would have used if it were available!' Or something or other to that effect:smiley2: Just about any kind of powder or clay can be incorporated into a bathbomb or scrub. Honey and milk powders are powerhouses in skin care / B&B line.Personally, I think it's a perfect fit. I think they Egyptians are one of the more famous cultures for using natural items for everyday beauty and health. It would be great to find a way to use 'Milk'N'Honey' in a business name somehow, or at least an extensive individual line. I imagine a larger semi translucent golden 'drip' shape with a smaller white repeat image inside the bigger gold one. Have fun!I just thought of 'Pampered Pyramid' ... but is it just me or does that sound like 'Pampered Period' ?:undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bells4shells Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Interesting combination of 'loves'. A few I thought up quick:Honey MosesGolden SphinxPharoah's Gold Pretty much like the idea of gold or golden to be the part of honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
