So first I would like to say a thank you to Mr. Barker. He is an amazing English teacher and this project was a very good learning process for all of us to have. We got to learn the basics of having a website, making a small business, and how to manage our time.
First I will start with the website. At first all of us were confused with this site and didn't really know what we were doing. But after a little help and time we got to learn how to easily navigate Weebly and make posts and such that others all around the world can access, which is crazy to think about. Next, we all learnt more about what it's like to have a small business. Of course with was on a much smaller scale, but it had the same concept. We have a website for it, an Instagram account to keep everyone more updated, and we have to think about the smaller things like who gets what money and the prices of the soaps in general. Lastly was how to manage our time. For me personally, I will carry this one in particular for a long time after this. We had to work together to plan out when good times to meet were, working around each others schedules so we could still get our other work done and do our activities, but also so we had plenty of time to get the project done. So after all of this with the project, I think I speak for all three of us that this was a very fun project, and that it taught us a lot about ourselves. Like for me, now I know how to make soap if I ever needed to know that skill. Anyways, until next time y'all. Soapaholics out <3

The new normal is starting to come together. Sadly, we still haven't been able to get together to work on new soaps. I just wanted to say that I hope everyone is keeping safe and keeping their distance.
Have any of y'all tried to make some soaps during this quarantine??? It's a perfect gift to give to someone during these tough times. I know it isn't the ideal circumstances, but it's something to get your mind off of things. So I'm gonna give you the instructions to make these awesome soaps. First: Get the melt and pour soap base at your local craft store, there are many different types and they all work just as good!!! Second: Melt the soap base in 30 second increments. If the soap isn't completely melted start doing 10 second increments. Third: Mix a few drops of essential oil into the melted soap base until it gets to the scent that you are hoping for. Fourth: If you have soap color you can add that into the soap or if you have anything else you want to add in, this is the step that you do just that. Fifth: Pour the soap into a mold and just let it sit for about 30 minutes or until cooled. That's it!! Just five simple steps to create a perfect and authentic gift!!! Hope everyone is doing well and make sure to wish you mom a Happy Mother's Day!!! |
