I'm still here!

Hello All!!
It's been awhile since posting anything, but I'm still here. I've been going online visiting various sites, looking at/playing with various recipes for my product line. There are sooo many good items/recipes out there and I'm just trying to continue to develop and carve my own niche with this wonderful business opportunity. My goals..."To be like Carol's Daughter and/or Bramble Berry's Anne-Marie Faiola"

"Indulge, Relax and Spoil Yourself"!

New Product Line

Hello All!

It's been awhile but I've been really busy. I'm working on a new product line for babies...all natural ingredients! This line will include: massage oil, bath tea, body butter, milk bath, a bar of soap and a soy candle. I'm currently trying to come up with a name for it. Will keep all posted!!

I am soooooooo excited!!! After dreaming, wishing and hoping for the opportunity to create my very own products....my husband said to order some stuff-"It was time to put up or shut up" (not in a mean way). I have been designing labels, playing around with product names and formulas for months now. I was up until around 2:30-3:00am this morning ordering from Bramble Berry(I'm sooo sleepy now). I'm just starting off small~ some M&P soap, rebatched soap, bath salts, and lotion sticks. I can't wait until it comes.

Decision Day!

This is my second post, and I have alot to decide- do I post daily (not enough time)? Do I post twice a week or once per week? I think it will be twice weekly. Another decision... Do I want to continue this soap making, bath & beauty making dream...amongst many other dreams? I have sooo many dreams and goals that I want to start/finish- I am afraid I am/will be spreading myself too thin. There is/will always be an issue...not enough space, not enough time, not enough knowledge, and ultimately-NOT ENOUGH MONEY! I have/had a desire to create- be it soap making, bath & beauty products, baskets, desserts/pastries, knick-knacks,etc...to help challenge me, to help provide for my family and to help rejuvenate my dwindling creativity-but it is hard. I have all these ideas jumping into my head now. If they all work out, oohh...it will be sooooo beautiful!! Please pray for me for my future endevours!

RE: "Core Values"

I first did this blog for a Child Development assignment sometime last year. What I realize is that these values carry over throughtout my daily life. I hope to have these same values to carry over into my future business adventure of bath & beauty product making. I admire some of the values my soon to be fellow bath & beauty product making adventurers such as Carol's Daughter, Anne-Marie Faiola of Bramble Berry Inc.,and many to mention. I believe this adventure is going to be a good one!!

"Core Values"

Some of the core values I could not live without are:

*Honesty

*Integrity

*Humility

*Creativity

*Respect

Having honesty as a core value means that, I value telling the truth and having the truth being told to me. And with honesty comes being a creditable, reliable, and fair person. In this and in all cases, "Honesty is the best policy". Having integrity as a core value means that I choose to have a "code of ethics, values, and morals" that I will follow. Having humility as a core value means that I choose not to lift myself up or make myself more than anyone else (being boastful, proud, loud, conceited, etc..), if it means to make someone else feel less than. Having creativity as a core value means that I will be able to look at things differently; using my imagination to solve, create, function, grow, and produce. Having respect as a core value means that I try not to interfere with others privacy, property, and space and expect the same. It means that I "treat others the way I want to be treated". Ultimately, I hope that these "core values" guide me in marriage, parenthood, professional, academic, personal, and my everyday life.
