New Scents, New Love

Yay! The budget has been passed by my state which means I can spend some extra work money on fragrance oils!! I plan to buy them on Friday and here is the list of what I plan to buy:

- Lavender EO
- Lime EO
- Arctic Raspberry
- Pink Sugar
- Peppermint Oil
- Menthol Crystals (mix with your products to have a cooling feel on the body)
- Pink Grapefruit EO
- Maraschino Cherry
- Strawberry

I may not be able to get all of them but I do plan on getting most of them with this paycheck. :) I'm excited.

The only sad news that I have is that the Cookie Dough soap didn't come out as planned. It caused the soap to separate. :( Oh well, I'll rebatch and try again.

What's that?

Well, this week has been so sad and stressful with the passing away of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett as well as my state not having a budget signed for the new fiscal year. I decided to throw myself into making soap and other stuff for my business. I made a nice new batch of sugar scrub and I made Pomegranate Lemonade, Watermelon Granita and Macintosh V2.0 soap.

My soap is what started Brat's Creations and it's the heart of my store. I need to always keep it in stock and make sure I have lots of soap for you guys. I want to have a whole box full of yummy soap and not run out of favorites like Macintosh V2.0, Watermelon Granita and Pomegranate Lemonade. I'll buy some bigger molds by the end of the year. I am going to make Cranberry Lemonade and Blood Orange Cotton Candy tomorrow.

I also realized that it takes almost 20min. for the Macintosh soap to get to trace. No wonder it separated last time, it just takes more patience. This time I got it to a good trace and I think the soap is going to be purple since that's what it looked like when I poured it. We'll wait and see after it is popped out of the mold tomorrow. :)

I also wanted to say that in case anyone is wondering the reason why my soaps are softer than others, it is because I wrap them after 2 weeks. The only soap I didn't wrap after two weeks was the I'm nakie one and that's because it had no scent. Soaps will slowly lose scent as they cure and I want to make sure the scent stays as strong as possible so I wrap them after two weeks but I leave the end open so it can still cure. This makes the soap softer but the scent isn't weaker. :)

I'm nakie soap will be up tonight. :)

Here is a list of all the soaps that I plan to make this month and next month. More will be added of course.
- Flirtatious
- Sicilian Merlot
- Watermelon Granita
- Pomegranate Lemonade
- Cranberry Lemonade
- Macintosh V2.0
- Blood Orange Cotton Candy
- Cookie Dough

Slow & Steady

Things have been a little slow lately, but that's okay. :) Summertime is party time. I will probably use my own money from my job to buy some new products for Brat's Creations. I really want to have more stuff released by the time school starts in the fall. My family has been hounding me for perfume so that is what I hope to buy in July.

The shower gel I will be tinkering with again. I will probably add a few more ingredients to it.

That's all for now. :)

New product release!

The body gloss you have been waiting for has finally been released for sale. :) It's $8 for the 4oz bottle. Currently that is the only size I'm selling it in. A little goes a long way so a 4oz bottle will last a while.

The shower gel will need more testing since it is too runny and testers are having a hard time getting it to lather. I do believe it is the water that is causing the less lather action. I will make another batch in a few weeks. While I work on that I will work on another project as soon as more funds are available. My next two projects are the perfumes. :)
