First Post for the Year

Oh wow, I cannot believe that it has been almost a year since I have posted!! I am so sorry. I have only tested three batches of soap this calendar year and they didn't turn out all that well. Very quickly let me tell you what I have been up to this year.

First, I totally shut down the business a while back but the lovely state of SC didn't recognize it and I had to fight for about 6 months to prove that I haven't been in operation. That really soured me on even opening back up again. Ugh!!

Second, I have been teaching other businesses how to blend their oils like I do. That has been really fun. I understand that not everyone wants to have their noses stuck over dozens of bottles several times a day to pull fragrance notes in order to get a good fragrance. These women already know what to do they just needed a little tweaking.

Third, I have been looking to YouTube for inspiration and have decided that I am going to practice cup cake swirling. I am also going to attempt to make soap flowers and other embeds. Yellow Cottage Soapery and Red Apple Soaps have ensnared my imagination. I have been on a Wilton shopping spree today purchasing piping tips and embed molds. Yay, me!!

As of tonight I am going to attempt to make one new soap every week and I am going to blog my results with pictures. I am going to make sure that I post here, Instagram and The Chandler's Rose YouTube channel. Please leave me questions or concerns at any time. Have a great night.
