I've been doing a lot of thinking. I am at a point in my soap hobby to decide which way I want to go. I have a few loyal customers that enjoy my products. I have a few wholesale customers as well. I am trying to decide whether to go full steam ahead with all of my plans for the year 2016, or to keep things as a hobby.
For several years, I have made our own soap. I started with several different recipes that I found on the web and in soap-making books. I tweaked them over the years to make them mine. I really enjoy making soap. I guess it's a creative outlet. I can switch out an oil and use something different to see what I create. I also make our own laundry cream, lotions, salves, powder, body spray, lip flavor, and I have made toothpaste and deodorant. I have had a lot of people wanting deodorant actually. I still haven't found a good recipe on that yet. I will not sell anything that I wouldn't use myself or want my name on. I haven't really committed much time to it either. Maybe I should think about that for the future.
