Phase 3 -- PROFIT!

Hmm. I think I’m sufficiently stuck in Phase 2.

 

What is Phase 2, you ask? Good question. Phase 2 is. “_______________!”

 

Of course, Phase 1 is Underpants but you, Good Reader, already knew that.

 

I shipped out a bunch of stuff today. Some orders, some promo. All I know is that the day started early and my lab was a mess. It’s finally looking more “g-friendly” and less like a Tornado ripped through it. The sad but also fortunate part of having my own lab is I get to experiment on my family. Today’s experiment? Me, getting rid of this budding sore-throat-headache-plague. I drank lots of tea. I mean a lot of tea.  I also started some new extracts a-extractin’. My lab smells like a mix between a pizzeria and greenhouse. I think I kind of like it.

 

I have ONE jar of Nutritive Body Balm left. That stuff flew out of stock in less than a week. Must make more, which is fun. Same with the Lavender Mint Lip Balm.

 

I anticipate being done with my Certified Herbalist coursework in the next 6 weeks. January will see me on to starting to work towards my Certified Master Herbalist & Naturopathic Practitioner.

 

Busy, busy me!

 

Lush delights

Apparently I was hit with a burst of motivation yesterday. 4 new products created, 3 are available on the website. My daughter has been teething like mad so I really wanted to create a high calcium supplement for her. Thus, Hi-Cal Tea was born. It’s delicious, I might add. However, because not all babies and kids like tea as well as Our Bug does, I made it in syrup form also. Equally delicious, I might add.

 

I really wanted to create a body lotion. I had this gorgeous  Calendula infusion that I finished last week. I didn’t need any more Healer’s Salve and so, I decided to try to create a highly nutritious, luxurious lotion. I dare say it worked, the end result is a silky smooth, delectable lotion lightly scented with citrus. Welcome Nutritive Body Balm! I’ve packaged it in 4 ounce jars, I may look for something a bit more decorative as we approach the holidays. My husband and I really enjoyed “Beta-testing” this product last night, I think our hands and arms are quite pleased with that fact.

 

Speaking of beta-testing, I tried out my “Dream Pillow” formulation and sewed up a pretty case to contain it. The Husband is quite enamored of it, he loves the soothing, intoxicating scent. I’m not sure I can sell this particular one but I will make others. It worked great too, drape it over your eyes or around your neck. Fast asleep in no time at all!

 

Actually, with the time change perhaps I will take advantage of that pillow right now. Happy snoozing!
