Crisis and Seeds of Opportunity

 The Great Albert Einstein said "In the Midst of Every Crisis lies an opportunity".

Which brings us to the part B of the question, why am I here.

So far I was quietly going about my craft, thoroughly enjoying the daily validation from happy customers, the repeat orders, the heartfelt gratitude when a skin care regime succeeded through my Soaps, especially when little children with their very special twinkling eyes conveyed their happiness in grins going from ear to ear....

Then, Crisis struck home. My husband has been tested Covid positive. Naturally I must put my business operations on hold, even though I am in the business of Soap which is the biggest Corona warrior, I can't put anyone's life to risk:-)

Since I am not Soaping, I am not Sulking because I am writing :-) My Blog is an outcome of this very in the face crisis which otherwise leaves me totally drained out through the day, tending to a quarantining husband, managing the high levels of anxieties of a questioning child and above all .... MAIDLESSNESS YET AGAIN .... FOR A GOOD 18 ODD Days!!!

So my writing time is my Me time, which was otherwise my Soaping time :-)

And at this juncture; let me introduce to a concept I'd like to beleive I coined, only to hashtag it and finding a million people already saying it with SOAP :-( :-P :-D.

But we all are saying different things with Soap ... I introduced my Corona Warriors. A set of three Soaps in exotic essential oils and eye candy colours, crafted in 120 grams of ultra clear glycerin and Shea Butter, which I priced at Rs. 500/- per set, individually selling at Rs. 200/- a bar.

Honey Oats and Milk!

 Today's post is about one of my and also in general a very Popular combination in Soapcraft - Honey Oats and Milk! My very first experience with Honey Oats and Goatmilk was my Personal Project in March 2018, when the change of weather brought in additional dryness to my Son's skin. My first Oats-Honey&Milk bar was crafted for my Son, and what a true blue magician it was. I made my Son's favourite Sky Blue teddy bear which was taken away even before it could be wrapped or labeled or photographed to be used in the Shower .... twice a day.... diligently at that. The result made me confident of my craft and the magical properties of the ingredients. Thus in September, when an overseas client approached me with her order of her yearly stock of soaps, I made a strong recommendation for Oats - Honey and Milk. She loved the idea instantly and asked me to craft them in my two special variants, Oats Honey and Goatmilk, and the second variant was Oats Honey and Castile for her 8 ...
