The mother's day flea market did not go quite as well as I had hope... the sale was poor. I think the location and the crowd may not be the best for me to sell the soap.... the are interested punters.... but most just end up looking and smelling the soaps....

Good thing that I was with an experience "flea-marketers"... so when punter weren't looking she came out with several ideas to make the soaps more interesting... I am really grateful to both of them..

Well, at least I had learn a good lesson.... product packaging and presentation are important for sales... and 1 more.... make sure the product suits the market and crowd...

Mother's Day

This Saturday I'll have a booth at the Sunway Club selling my soaps, in conjuction with the club's Mother's Day celebration. I'll have my Oatmeal and Lavender soaps for sale.(as Picture). I hope they will sell well. Then I can start to make aloe vera soaps. I have an aloe vera plant at home ready to be used.

Oatmeal soap

I've been using my home-made oatmeal soap for a couple of days now. It's a milled soap. I used the coarse oatmeal. At first, it felt so rough (the oatmeal). But after the first bath, it feels good. Its exfoliates well. Since now I have been using my own soap, whenever I use a supermarket soap I can feel the difference.

Of course the supermarket soap has more bubble... they have SLS. But I reckon many now know that it is not good for the skin. I have made another two batch of oatmeal soap, but this time I ground the oatmeal a bit more so as not to be too rough. One batch is without fragrance, another one I tried a blend of orange, lavender and ylang ylang. I don't really like the smell, but my wife like it. It smell something like cinnamon.

I running out of storage space. Needs to rearrange the store to keep the soaps before I can sell them.
