Since I spend more time on SMF than FB or IG, I guess I can introduce myself. I live in San Francisco, CA. I spend a lot of time out of the city because I hunt. I have been a massage therapist for almost 30 years. Now I’m not sure when, or if, or how I’ll work again. I’ve used tallow as a base for making my own skin care for years. Salves and face oil. Beginning of the year my hubs bought a 5 gallon bucket with the idea of making soap. I’d never made soap until the lockdown started. I found it very soothing for my anxiety and depression to obsessively learn about soap. I love the chemistry, history, alchemy of the whole thing. It’s fairly magickal, IMO. I have an 11yo little doggy who is quite the character! Tulip. My family lives in FL and I am missing them something fierce right now. Trying to take life one day at a time right now, literally. Making soap as much as I can. I’d like to find a course I could take for creating a small body care business. Know of any? I love this forum and all the helpful folks here! I do other artsy things, mostly pyrography on bone. And, I play the ukulele a lot these days, that also helps. I’m on IG @Salt_Hawk_Arts
