Getting Personal with Soap
One scent just sent a lightening bolt through my head and I had the colors pink-gray in my head. That scent was Very Sexy from Victorias Secret. I dont know why, it somehow reminded me of my days when I used to work as a customer service at an international phone company. It was elegant, sensual and sexy in such a subtle way - just like the ladies that worked at the office with me.
In a tribute to our inner sensuality - I matched Very Sexy with the soft look of pink shirt and gray pants :-)
Right now I am running specials on my soaps - all my 3oz soaps are marked down to 2.50$

I want to share the new product line in my store - goats mik soaps!!!
Through this year since I have been selling online, people kept asking me if I do soaps.....at that time, I did not. I was a bit unsure if I ever wanted to offer soaps. That was out of my comfort zone.
Well, that changed! I finally plunged into it! My first dilemma (and it still is as I am still filling up the store) was wha
t scent should I make first? Would it be something for the season and the holiday or something that I actually enjoy smelling. I decided to mix them up and start with a small selection, while slowly adding more scent choices of soap.The first one I made was a soap for my husband. He wanted something exfoliating so he would be able to use it as a scrubbing soap. I added some pumice stone and loofah andvoila! He loves it! This coming from a guy that is addicted to body wash and doesnt want to ever use a bar of soap. That actually gave me the encouragement to make more and add them to my store. really like having nice pictures of the products too and I have never in my life took a picture of soap - I am so used to photographing jars and bottles. I would really appreciate any input you got to share about my photos :-)
