Why do you do what you do?

"Why do you do what you do?"

This question has popped up countless times in my journey.

My soap making journey began when I was looking for something to do.

I had taken some time out of my corporate background to spend quality time with my then, very young family.  Because of long working hours, I found that I was missing out on the monumental dates at school that really mattered. You know what I mean; sport's day, concerts and plays. For me, my kids were my priority and I wanted to be there for them.

I got a simple melt and pour soap kit and started playing around with it. It was amazing fun. l could create quick simple projects and enjoy the results. 

It occurred to me that I could start using skin loving ingredients which was important for me, as 2 of my children had dry skin conditions which irritated them.

I began experimenting with ingredients which left their skin feeling hydrated and moisturized. I started looking at soap making in more detail knowing that I could create beautiful soap bars with great benefits for the skin. 

My friends began asking me questions about what I was doing and then asked if I could make them pamper treats and little gifts for friends. I suddenly had that lightbulb moment where I realized that I could run my own soap making business.

I did all the research and trained so that I could produce quality soaps and have never looked back.

This journey has been so empowering. I have a business which I can run around my family and I actually enjoy getting up in the morning. Working in an environment which is enriched with gorgeous smelling essential oils and botanicals is absolutely incredible.

Now, I educate others about the wonderful world of soap. In fact, I am running a three day challenge called The Bubbles to Bank Challenge to help people who are going through the circumstances I have described. The challenge is going to cover topics such as botanicals, infusions, ethical sourcing and making visually appealing and captivating soaps. Want to know more?
