Giving the people what they want
So I've been doing a local flea market for the last month (less 1 weekend). It's been an interesting time. Mainly because I'm finding it much easier to see exactly what customers tastes are.
I set out all my fancy looking sweet smelling soaps and which ones sell the most? The plain old boring lavender oatmeal. It's a bit of a bummer because those aren't as fun to make, but apparently it's what the people want.
To that end I've decided to create a few more "not so pretty" basic looking bars using herbs and essential oils.
1) Lemongrass & Rosemary with the addition of dried lemongrass for exfoliation
2) Unscented Oatmeal with ground oatmeal

Can't wait to see how they go over with the flea market customers!

Love that Clary soap!
"I don't play to please the masses. I play from my heart and the ones I touch will find me. Appreciate me. Those are the ones that will remain because what I am creating is FROM me."
Stay true to yourself.
Does that make more sense or should I just go get more coffee? Y'know, I'll go do that.
;)
Thanks gang!
