I started writing a blog a year ago for my family to keep up to date with my mother in the hospital. Last summer I started this blog to keep a journal about the activities I did with my children while they were out of school. When the kids went back to school, I lost my purpose here. During the fall and into the holiday season I started a blog about photography, and when the beautiful colors of fall vanished so did that blog too.
I haven't lost my willingness to keep writing, I just cannot focus on one thing. But then again I don’t know too many that can just stay focused on one thing for a long period of time. I entitled this Blog “Alice’s Niche” because I was actually in search of my focus. As most people who search for things they cannot find them. But when they stop searching it finds them. Ok…
When my mother was sick last year, I had bought a Melt and Pour soap making kit to use with the kids. It got put in a box and into storage because I just didn’t have the time to use it then. After Christmas I was putting away the decorations and I came across that kit again. I pulled it back out and waited till the kids had their winter recess in February. We made a few soaps and were pleased with our craft! We gave out a few of the extras that we had to family, who were pleased as well. My father in law told me that I should start selling them, that they are really awesome.
Well needless to say I jumped in, grabbing all that I could to learn about soaping. I have watched numerous YouTube videos, read a few soaping books, researched online and even started plotting a path to take to start a business. I have been driving my family crazy with my non stop conversations on soaping. I am ready to keep going. I am bringing this up on here because I will be discussing that a lot on here in the future.
Having no prior experience with making soap, I would like to share my side of how I came to enjoy and become a soaping addict. I would also like to explain how I came up with my recipes, and why I chose to do this now. I hope everyone enjoys my new posts and sticks around to follow my journey. Take Care!
