Where have I been?
Oh, you know, the usual…but mostly I’ve been in a holding
pattern, and I’ve only made ONE BATCH OF SOAP SINCE OCTOBER 19TH!!!!
It’s the longest I’ve gone not making soap since we moved and since I started
on this journey.
I’ve been slowly, oh so slowly, working on building a brand.
For the past year, I’ve applied and gone through the trademark publishing process.
I’ve hired two graphic artists and fired one. The second one is a true soulmate
and can visualize where I want to go.
So far, we have developed my logo and my brand-style, which
has a modern, inclusive, pop-art sassiness…

And we came up with this...
Next, we are now working on packaging design. I’m in a “chicken-or-the-egg”
situation, where I don’t know if I should design the soap to fit a box or
design a box to fit my soap. I DO know I want some sort of open pane on my soap
boxes for smelling, but I don’t think I want it where it is in this sample.

I’m meeting with my graphic artist this afternoon to look at
her first batch of packaging concepts and we will go from there…I'm so excited to see what she has come-up with!
In the meantime, I’m working on formulating solid shampoo bars.
This is my first one and IT WORKS and IT’S pH BALANCED! I have a loooooong way
to go though….down the rabbit hole I go.
