The plan is to study full-time from next year and sell soaps part-time to help cover costs and keep the wolf from the door.
I've gone with a new size for my soaps too - they are now 100g (used to be 150g) and $5 each (with discounts starting from 5 bars or more).
The feedback from customers has been that my soaps are very long lasting, which is excellent news - I want them to be value for money and for people to be able to afford to buy them and enjoy the many benefits of handmade, all-natural soaps.
Any handmade soap will last longer if you let it dry out between uses, use a well-draining soap dish and they will also last longer if you use a flannel in the shower.
We are just starting to get repeat customers looking for more of our handmade beeswax polish too. We make a very traditional polish using beeswax, carnauba wax, gum turpentine (from living trees as opposed to mineral turpentine) and linseed oil.
We have that in unscented, Lavender and Lemon Eucalyptus (all essential oils). The 100g tin is $12.50 or two for $23.
If you'd like to order anything, let me know - an overnight postage pack within Australia is an extra $12.
cheers,
Sonya
