"A day in the life" series post 3 : I've always
said that soap and candle making is like "Art, cooking and science
class all in one" You have a recipe you follow, you have to weigh and
measure oils, plus manage temperatures like chemistry and you need to
have some artistic ability to get it to look pretty.
Today in preparation for the busy fall and holiday season I am starting to order more oils, ingredients and supplies so that I will be able to make enough inventory for the season. This is something that every crafter struggles with prior to the busy time of year. It takes an investment to have all of that inventory built up in time for the busy season. Soaps require a curing time too so you have to make them way ahead of time to be ready.

In the photo here I am heating up oils to
begin a batch of my Organic Spearmint Eucalyptus soap, due to it's green
color it sells quite well during the holiday season. https://www.etsy.com/

Yes! Always so difficult this time of year. Estimating all you will need, etc.
