    How are people shipping items so inexpensively on etsy?

    I charge 3 and addtional 2.00, because I also sell other heavier items and have been screwed sucking up some shipping costs in the past. But I refund overages right away....never had a problem.

    Indie beauty insurance

    I make candles as well, the WSP insurance you have mentioned doesn't cover candles, otherwise it would be perfect. It sounds like you have to pay the 175 and on top the 450 for indie .

    Goats milk Lotion

    I made a lotion with 10 % today.Came out like a dream. I used powder & it was tricky to have the milk heating up. The sides started to get burnt etc. I used 1% phenonip, hopefully all goes well. I used with this recipe, lanolin and panthenol. Should be great for problem skin.
