Soap! I have been busy making some really nice soap for the Christmas market. I guess I am a glutton for punishment, since I have tried to market the soap every year I have been here and people do buy a little, but never contact me for more. I made soap for my green lifestyle store in White Rock and people came back regularly. I don't get it. One kind lady here bought some soap and loved it so much, she made and appointment and bought 20 bars to give to her friends, with an attached business card to promote me, but neither she nor any of the recipients ever came back. That was last Christmas.
I have made camouflage soap, and I detest that trend vehemently, thinking the locals, who are all into it in such a big way, would buy it. They didn't. I even used a fragrance oil, lightly, to scent it, because they are so hung up on Scentsy and artificial strong smells, I thought that it might appeal to them. Not.
But I am plugging away. Some of these bars are pretty nice. They have premium ingredients in them which are purported to promote healing of red and irritated skin, or dry skin. I will make a bar specifically for Christmas too, just for fun, but it will be good soap too. And, in the next 3 years or so, until my retirement, I will keep attempting to educate the locals. They need to better understand what is in the products they use and how those very products contribute to their ill health and poor skin. Then at least I can say I attempted to make a difference and if I only reach a few, well it is the few who will share their newfound knowledge with others. And so it goes on. So, I am making soap, something I love to do. Want some?
