I have been making natural soaps and shampoo bars for a few years now. I started making soaps for the local Halo Salt Spa back in 2015. I have sold a lot of soaps through my Etsy shop. I am currently taking a break from making and selling soaps for the shop. I am really proud of my success on Etsy, but I would like to explore other career avenues. I find making soap is a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. I have over 4000 sales on Etsy so it is really hard to give it up. Though looking back I realize how difficult it was to get to that point. Unfortunately selling on Etsy has not translated into much of an income. I don't make enough to hire help for the business and I am not willing to take it to the next level to make it more successful. It would require me to spend less time with the kids which I am not willing to do. I also don't have a support system in place where that would be feasible any way. I am ready for a change though and I am going to put my creative talents to other uses. I am not really clear what that means at the moment. I do have a lot of ideas and more on that when I figure it out myself. I really do love making pretty soaps with natural ingredients. I recently made three himalayan salt soaps and they turned out so lovely if I do say so myself. They are at Halo Salt Spa if you would like to purchase a few bars. Happy creating until next time!
