So I have sent my soaps in to be assessed, and in the mean time I have been thinking of designs and colour combinations with different methods I can use for the swirly soaps. I have started to get prepared to upscale my production by purchasing new moulds so i am able to make more at the same time. I have purchased a multi bar soap cutter so things are more simple and precise which will ultimately mean a better quality products to my customers. One of the moulds i have bought is in preparation for making free samples to get my products out there and to my target customers to try make a stir in the local community by bringing natural products to those who want the best possible quality end products. Once iv done with giving free samples i will be using these same moulds to sell online and hopefully else where as part of a guest soap range I will be releasing. I have made some batches that providing the formula doesn’t need to change can be sold once all the legal paperwork has been returned too me, if it needs tweaking I will be using these soaps as photos for the website to show potentially what the bars will look like!
I have made all the variants for the salt bar assessment I recently purchased, so I have Pink Grapefruit, Peppermint, Rose Geranium, Lemon, Rosemary, and unscented
I have got my new bee colony up and running now it is on the land I use and will be doing another inspection and then I will be preparing them for winter and then its a case of hope for the best. They have got a great source of food with all the Himalayan balsam along the side of the canal which should put them in a good place to survive the winter. As a nuc is smaller I have left them in that going on the theory that it will provide them with more warmth and will be easier for them to keep warm as theres less open spaces!
I will be using this blog for various reasons, one of them will be to post photos that i take while out and about of nature ect, as I do a milk round in a very rural area i come across a lot of wildlife and some absolutely stunning sun rises as well! Two things that a lot of people wont get to experience purely because of the hours I work most people are asleep. They wont all be recent photos but I will be posting photos that make me smile and remind me of good memories as well. I will be trying to update this blog at least once a week even if it is just with a memory I hold close to me, and is unrelated to the site or what I am selling, via it.
