Ya ya ya! I’m going to soap making boot camp this weekend. Two intense days of nothing but learning how it all works from people who have been doing it for years. It’s a class offered by The Nova Studio in Pt. Richmond. This is extra important to me because it’s what I’ve been needing to get a jump on Little Brown Owl Soap Company.
As some of you know, it’s been in limbo for well over a year now. I have a website designed and am working with my super talented husband to get that up and running (but probably not launched till I have something to sell
). I may be contacting some of you soon to test out the product. I need to figure out packaging and shipping methods still, but it’s all coming along. I’m especially excited to attempt a new scent that will hit home with most of the fellas I know (Stephen’s idea of course!)… Hop soap. I know ladies, it seems like it would be kinda smelly, and not in the good way. Don’t worry, I’ll add a woman’s touch, so that it will attract instead of turn away.
Some nice things about l.b.o. soap is that it’s purely vegetable, mild and natural, made with essential oils (no animal products, perfumes, or fake stuff of any kind). Some other scents I’m leaning toward are sandlewood, patchouli, douglas fir, lavendar, milk, tea tree, eucalyptus, rosemary mint, oatmeal and my all-time favorite, cocoa butter. We’ll see what really turns out.
Ta ta for now.
