I wasn’t all that excited on my own because the project was too easy for me. I know from watching many Soap Queen episodes on YouTube that the creativity is endless, but I wanted full control over the whole process. Bringing lye into the house was something that my husband would have to agree with me on, it is a poisonous substance and we have small children. I never considered it an option because I was afraid to ask if I could. But when his father was encouraging me, my husband was on board already.
I had already touched on the subject about a year and a half ago when I found the Soap Queens series on YouTube. I subscribed to a few other Vlogs and watched how they made their soaps, I was completely fascinated. It was always one of those “someday, when I …” type things.
Well this came at me kind of fast, and its been a whirl wind for me. I have subscribed to about 6 more Vlogs on YouTube, I have read two great books cover to cover and I have been researching and taking notes as if I were in school. This has taken me almost 2 months, I want to learn as much as I can before I spend a bunch of money that we just don’t have on quite possibly just a hobby.
Here are the questions I asked myself before spending anything other than my own time on my inspiration.
- What inspires me?
- What is holding me back from attempting it?
- Do I have a support system or will I have to fight to get support?
- Am I willing to do a lot of research on the subject, before I spend money on it?
- Am I willing to consider other peoples opinions on some of the choices I need to make? If No, how important is it to me to have peace in our family?
I just want you to make a very educated decision before jumping in. In my next post I will touch on how I budgeted and created a game plan for how to get started. Good Luck and have fun, but do it smart so you can avoid the pitfalls.
