Title: Hi everybody :) Post by: Ali Daisy on January 30, 2013, 08:45:03 PM A big hello from the Blackdown Hills.
Wow this place is amazing. I've been making soap(cold process) for 2 years for myself and for gifts for my friends and as I've had such good feedback am looking into selling it which is how I found this forum. I'm just starting to get the hang of the legal side of soap selling. I've also recently started making body butters, lotions, moisturisers and handcreams and am absolutely hooked :) I wish I had time to do this full time but I work as a carer with teenagers, am doing a course in Aromatherapy and also I have a yurt which I rent out in the summer at a campsite on the Blackdown hills. 'Daisy Age' covers both the yurt, necklaces that I make and the aromatherapy soaps and a friend of mine is designing a logo for me now, I will post some pictures when it is done. I'm really looking forward to sharing ideas here :) Title: Re: Hi everybody :) Post by: Eva on January 30, 2013, 09:26:18 PM Hi DA, and welcome! :buttrf:

Title: Re: Hi everybody :) Post by: Ali Daisy on February 05, 2013, 11:39:14 AM Thanks Soapwitch.....LOVE your name by the way :)
The legal side of things is quite daunting but it's great to have this site for advice. I'm going to start slowly, sell my soaps first, then body butters and aromatherapy lotions made with carrier lotion then progress to my own creams and lotions but that's where the legal side of things really scares me. Good luck with your new business :buttrf: :buttrf: Title: Re: Hi everybody :) Post by: Amanda Wright on February 06, 2013, 05:34:33 PM Hello from a fellow newbie, I know exactly where you're coming from regarding the legal side of selling...i was so scared by it all last year that i decided against it but i'd been dreaming of doing it since doing a course in complementary therapies (all the usual therapies massage, reflexology, indian head and aromatharapy healthcare). I've got most of my SA in place, just got to sort out my CP SA and my insurance....oh and my packaging...a website....pricing etc.....i think the trick must be to not look at it all in go just to focus on one thing at a time.

It's all very exciting and daunting at the same time. I love all the creative aspects but as soon as I get onto the legal side I get confused and frustrated but with the help of this great site I think it'll all be OK ;D Good luck with everything :) :buttrf: :buttrf: Title: Re: Hi everybody :) Post by: abijay on February 09, 2013, 08:14:11 AM Hello there :buttrf:
