So much fun!

Yesterday was such a fun day.  I did a very busy craft show where I got to meet a few loyal customers, heard some great suggestions and had the privilege of brightening a little girl's day.

It's so nice to be able to put a face to a name with customers, and I love hearing how you'll "never use anything else now!"  Wow, that's the ultimate compliment, and I appreciate it.  With each new batch I'm trying to improve even more, so I love hearing your suggestions. 

One idea I need to figure out is what to re-name the "Goats in the Grove" soap.  Several people have said with that name they're afraid to even smell it, thinking it'll smell like a barn!  I named it that because it's made with goat's milk and has an orange scent...hence, "Goats in the Grove."  But, I'm rethinking that.  One guy even thought it said "Goats in the Grave!!"  Now THAT would really smell bad! So anyway, that'll probably be changing soon, same soap, just different name.

There was this adorable little girl, probably around 10 or so, who was there for the day helping her dad with his booth.  Every time she walked by she stopped to smell the Vanilla Sandalwood.   I told my daughter "I bet you anything she's gonna talk her dad out of some money to buy herself some of that soap," and she eventually did!  She came over and purchased a bar for herself, and I had a little fun.  I told her that I thought it was so nice of her to be helping her dad all day long, and gave her a second bar free.  The look on her face was priceless!  She had the biggest eyes and the biggest grin I've seen in a long time.  It really made my day.

A study at the University of Georgia Medical College, indicated that SLS penetrated into the eyes as well as brain, heart, liver, etc., and showed long-term retention in the tissues. The study also indicated that SLS penetrated young children's eyes and prevented them from developing properly and caused cataracts to develop In adults.

May cause hair loss by attacking the follicle. Classified as a drug in bubble baths because it eats away skin protection and causes rashes and infection to occur.

Oh man, if THAT doesn't make you run toward your shampoo/body wash bottles and see what you're putting on your body, I don't know what will!  It literally scares me, AND makes me think all the more that I need to develop a shampoo bar.  Several people have asked me for one, and I've got a few recipes to start testing, I just need time to do it.

I finally got around to making more Lilac soap, which is out of stock right now, and Lime Margarita, which is dangerously low, last night.  They'll be ready before Christmas, but just barely.  I've been sick with the world's worst cold for the past two weeks, and it's been a struggle just to be awake, much less making soap.  But I think it's all beginning to be behind me now.  I even had to miss doing a craft show last Saturday, which was a first for me. 

I'll be sending out the monthly email with a special deal soon, probably either tonight or Sunday, so be sure to sign up if you haven't already. 

Happy Friday!
