This was shot from my hotel window this morning. Day 2 is only halfway over as I begin this post, but I know it will be a bit of a late night as we have the Essential Wholesale Event tonight. It’s offsite in Fort Lauderdale.
Day 2 at the HSMG Soap Conference Read More »
I am sitting in my hotel room after the end of Day 1 at the HSMG (Handcrafted Soap Makers Guild) Conference 2011. The conference is being held at the Miami Hilton Downtown Hotel this year and as always it’s fabulous! Or as Feleciai says, yummy! Every year it’s amazing to me how smoothly everything runs and how they pack so much into such few hours. I come back every year for several reasons: learn about new techniques, products and what’s going on in the industry, network with other soapers and vendors to gain tips and tricks, recharge my enthusiasm for my business and have some fun and get some goodies! I am going to try to report each day from the conference with a nod to the goals I hit that day.

For today’s Tranquil Tuesday moment I thought I would share one of my favorite make at home foods – pesto!
Three reasons to make pesto at home:
1. Relatively expensive to buy in restaurants or a store.
2. Tastes better made at home.
3. Easy and inexpensive to make.

[Statue Of Liberty] I make safe cosmetics. I believe in safe cosmetics. Creating cosmetics that are natural and better for my skin is why I created my company, Susan’s Soaps & More 10 years ago. So why do I feel attacked by the fact that the last three years have seen cosmetic reform bills introduced into congress and in particular by this latest one – Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010?

This video is dedicated to Donna Maria of Indie Business who inspired me to begin filming “my birds” again. Hope you enjoy them. If you have seen my bird videos before this one is by far the best yet as the birds are closer and more active and more of them! Watch them playing in the water and enjoy a 6 minute break from the hectic pace of your day.
