A new friend read my book, formulated their own recipe, then made this soap. It smells heavenly - remember clove ci******es. Can't wait to try it out.

Essential oil blend for a soap order. In this are, the client has migraines and multiple chemical sensitivities and had requested a Eucalyptus/mint blend. I'm hot processing the soap so that I can use less essential oils and lessen the chances of her reacting to it.

I have another article out in Mother Earth News this month - "Lessons Learned From Selling Handmade Soap".

Well, apparently, my article about lessons learned during 20 years in the soap business has published in Mother Earth News. I know because they paid me for it. However, usually they send me 2 copies of the issue in the mail, and that didn't happen this time. I have no idea which issue it's in. Anybody notice it?

Meep.
