The Handcrafters Companion spa experience
The first thing you will see is getting started - ingredients and tools needed
The Handcrafters Companion has some advice for keeping it clean !!
The HC explains essential and fragrance oil safety, what not to use if you have high blood pressure, also what to avoid if you are pregnant, and has some kids recipes too. Some recipes don't have necessary precautions- the list is quite impressive.
Niche Markets, packaging, and selling your products
The packaging ideas can be used as a good suggestion for gifts for family and friends. Since the holidays are near and I am not ready for a full scale business, I found some cute ideas for treating my family and friends with presents that look expensive but Jane has super ideas for people on a "shoestring' budget.
Potpourri 101
IF you like potpourri - the recipes and list of ingredients are extensive and some of the ingredients can be used for soapmaking and other projects like body butters, salt scrubs, just add or subtract ingredients.
Bath teas and soaks
After some invigorating suggestions for bath teas and bubble baths, next is for perfect ideas for butters, balms, lotions, and healing ointment as listed in Essential Herbal Magazine and Lancaster County Soapworks
My Favorite - handcrafted soaps
These recipes surprised me - I never thought of using wine in my recipe until I saw Janes recipes. Comes complete with a list of websites to purchase the ingredients and has variations to use. Like I said, the ingredients in the other recipes can be use for soap making as well - just use your imagination - I know you can !!!!
