Made some jasmine and cranberry soap yesterday. Cant look at it till about 3pm tho ( have to leave it covered for 24hours and if you cheat and look you can get "ashing"on top. It doesnt actually harm the soap bar but you have to threw a slice away cos it doesnt look very good so I dont peak. Wont be home till about 5:20 so will have a look then. I had a thought tuesday whilst walking round the art shop at central six about packaging - cant find any I like that is affordable - dont really want to use greaseproof paper tho at least its natural and better than polythene both cos it allows the soap to breath ( being a natural product with only either vitamin E or grapefuit seed oil as preservative it can just go mouldy!) Also printed fancy papers may cause leaching of nasties into the soap and having made natural soap I dont really want to cover in nasty chemicals even if on paper. I saw loads of very expensive squares of checks and gingham but I think they might be a bit too countrified. Maybe I should try a few. Tho perhaps the dyes might leach too so maybe that would be a bad idea as well. I need to learn to fold paper as well cos it was difficult wrapping some bars I recently gave away to a friend to try out. I suspect it will be easier with practice. Oh and now I have some labels. I know you can print them with WORD so have to refresh my memory about how now. Better remember to buy some ink for the printer too!
This is about me finding myself and the story of how I have changed my life, become self employed and how I developed the products which are now my livelihood. Its the story of all the trials and problems and wonders of life that happen. I cannot even think what it would be like to return to the me of 2008 now and altho I am very poor really financially I am so very much happier and quality of life is so much better. And I am closer to being free than ever before in my adult life.
