See the sticky thread up above titled 'Clean the World.' That is the organization you are thinking of. On the first page of the thread is the address in Orlando to send your soap to. I'm going to have my husband drop off a box or two tomorrow at the post office on his way to get an oil...

From now until midnight (possibly a little later) I'm offering free shipping on any product...
I haven't bought anyone else's yet due to low funds and a huge supply of my own, but I would consider it in the future. I see plenty on Etsy that I would like to try out.

I've been on there for a couple of months and can't get anywhere. I've had 3 total sales in about 2 months. One was a local sale that I did outside of Etsy.
The fees do tend to eat you alive when you don't really have the extra money. Plus, there are a lot of soap sellers on there.

Congrats. Your experience makes me a little less nervous for my first craft fair, which comes up in October.
Your booth is awesome. Here's to more sales!!!!

I wear a T-shirt and shorts and go barefoot. No gloves or goggles or anything longsleeve. I tried both the gloves and the goggles the first time I made soap, but they actually got in the way and made things harder and probably worse...so I said forget it. I just make sure to be really careful...
I would put out just a sample for sniffing, either half a bar or a quarter...you decide. If it were me I would trim up these end pieces if you use those and try to make them look as nice and uniform as possible.
I had totally forgot about needing samples for sniffing before I read your post...
So sorry this happened. What I do for my sizes is I weigh every bar out of a batch. Then I have a range of sizes. The very smallest one or ends that may not be uniform get put in a pile for cutting into samples. For my packaging and web sites I put down the range of sizes. For example, see...
I will do a little of both. I want to have a great variety, but if a particular kind or scent is selling well I will keep making it because if customers want it and can't buy it from me they will go elsewhere.

I was a medical transcriptionist for 2 years. Just quit this past June and have never been happier since I quit.
You can read about the good and the bad of medical transcription on this forum http://forum.mtstars.com/main/
