Rose Soap Disaster

 

Rose Soap , originally uploaded by HoneyBeeSoaps.

Every now and again when you soap you get a failed batch, even when you try to prevent it. Here is a photo of my last batch of Rose Soap, it looks horrendous.

This soap should be a beautiful dark pink color and not have those huge holes in it. For the life of me I can't figure out what I did wrong.

Rose soap lovers, you'll have to wait a few more weeks. I am sorry.

Let me know what you think.

Opposing the FDA Globalization Act of 2008

There is a piece of legislation that is being talked about right now by the Committee on Commerce & Energy that I believe will put a lot of small business owners out of business. The legislation that is being talked about is the FDA Globalization Act of 2008, the current draft of this legislation will require hefty, yearly registration fees and a fair amount of paperwork. The fees will prohibit small business owners and people just starting out to continue doing business. We provide environmentally friendly body care to local customers who choose to buy from us. We are benefitting from the buy local movement, which gives customers a choice between big companies that include unfriendly ingredients in their products and handcrafted products made with wonderful ingredients. Shouldn't we as consumers be able to make and have choices for our own body care needs? I strongly oppose this piece of legislation and I have chosen to tell my legislators, senators and congressman, I hope that you will choose to do the same.

Let your voice be heard.
