Here's a good quote for anyone that has a business, maybe pondering whether to start one, or just concerned about our economy.
"When someone stops selling, others stop making. When others stop making, many stop earning. When many stop earning, many stop buying. Then we have a depression. So keep selling."
So go get 'em!
Hello once again. I hope the new year has been going well for all of you. I just wanted to let my gracious customers know that I have taken somewhat of a hiatus. This is a slow time of year for me and I plan to cut back production. However, you can always email me for a special order and I will be glad to whip up a batch of soap for you. I don't mind doing this at all. In fact it keeps products fresh and prevents waste.
I've also been hard at work with the re-opening our gospel music store, Living Light Books and Music. It's still in the works but you can read the blog to be kept up to date. http://livinglightbooksandmusic.blogspot.com/. And don't forget my money savings blog, http://thecouponsista.blogspot.com/, where I update it consistently.
Stay warm!
