Trying to get over this hump & back up on my feet fully. Feeling much better today after taking it easy and not over doing it too much. Still got a good chest cough & pressure in my sinuses, get tired very easily, but I am so much better than even a week ago. I have lots of work coming in & a bunch to get done & to get out this week. Spent Friday, yesterday, & half of today going through on hand supplies, made up a nice recipe batch, 24 oz of my magickal, super secret facial serum balm & filled my handmade ceramics to ship out early this week. It came out marvelous and smells so darn good. Made enough to refill myself multiple times and a few extra 2 oz jars to have for offer for the holidays. Set down and made my needs list & between Mountain Rose, Bulk Apothecary, Piping Rock, Natures Alchemy, & a few other distributors I have compiled and completed my butters, wax, carrier oils, tubes, vials, wicks, replacement eos, glass & acrylic jars, labels, packaging supplies orders to make enough products through spring. I can say that I hated to see the end balances for bills but I have no where local to buy at a good price for most of what I need. You dont find 16 - 32 - 64oz of essential oils or carrier oils nearby unless it is so expensive its cheaper to pay shipping charges or ordering everything at once to qualify for free shipping. So, I need to rest the next couple days and be ready to unload, unpack, & begin blending and mixing by Thursday or Friday. I will say it is nice having a separate space on my property to actually be able to shut the rest of the world off, turn on some music, light some frankincense, myrrh, & rose geranium, cup of hot coffee or hot tea, my google goggles, lab coat, pull out all the glass beakers, stirrers, pipettes, stainless steel mixing bowls, & double boiler pans, recipes, & just get lost for a few hours with no tv, telephone, or interference. Yes, i am a real serious geek when i am working as i have to stay focused when mistakes are costly, lol. I am usually done before Sophia arrives off the bus and i have her apron & chef hat & googly goggles hanging & ready, her lip tube tray set out, bag of tubes to keep her busy setting up while I set out her measuring cups for her beeswax, coconut oil, mango and/or cocoa butter depending on which lip balms she is mixing, our own vanilla bean, vitamin e capsules & sterilized needles & miniature food grade gloves, beet powder, essential oils she uses, & she becomes the mad lip balm scientist. It sounds like a lot, but it actually isnt once everything is out in front & ready to go. I will be making a short video and posting it to YouTube if I can figure out where are other ones are on there for our snow ice cream, mini travel altars, wish bottles, thinking faery glitter jarrs, noodle necklaces, clay people. I know there is a way to begin a series or to section them together, but I have never tried to figure it out before. We should have 12 - 13 videos still on there, now it is to find them so we can categorize & separate them.
