Spaghetti Harvest

This cold is trying to take over, I’ve been battling it off with Oil of Oregano, and while the cold isn’t as bad as it could be, it’s causing me issues. It’s settled into my chest so I’m having a hard time breathing. The surgery I had in ‘05 collapsed a lung, so now it’s [...]

Oh my.

I’m all tingly.

I’ve been keeping myself busy working on wholesale orders, getting the soap curing so when I get back I can get to work on them.

I keep wondering if renting and driving a car from the UK is a wise idea. Rentals in France are much more expensive, plus the additional cost of [...]

It totally saved my ass!

At the wholesale show, I had brought my all in one scanner/printer and fax machine with me so I could give customers copies of their orders and print out more order forms if I needed too.  I don’t like using the fax machine part because it ties up my home phone [...]

The last two weeks I’ve eaten very little. Chocolate, [...]

And I’ll be grumpy if I want too…

Big massive crazy sale of the year is now over. Glen worked one sale for me and I worked the other. I’ve exceeded my yearly goal by about 2K, and am crawling towards another hastily set lofty goal. I doubt I’ll make another 3800 dollars between now and [...]

I proved my own damn point in spades today about setting up my booth.

As the day wore on today, I realized that my much agonized over set up was just NOT working for me. Usually when I’m behind my table, I like having both soap and body butter within reach. I found that I [...]
