sailorzeoWow, haven't posted here in over 2 years. I just...haven't felt the need. I kind of wandered over to Tumblr and just fell in.
So, a quick update: lost my job in July. Haven't found a new one yet, but I have an Etsy shop, Zeo's Soaps and Sundries, where I sell handmade soaps, lip balms, bath salts, and soon, cuticle oil. I'm also running a GoFundMe campaign, trying to get a little extra money to help bridge the gap on weeks where sales are slow.
This week is full of soapmaking. I have 13 more 2-pound batches I want to make, and I keep running out of ingredients. Today, I ran out of lye, which is somewhat essential to making soap. I have enough mango butter for one more, maybe two more batches. I have some money coming in, so I'll be able to restock those ingredients, but dang, it's a fine balancing act I'm walking. Once I get those soaps made and listed, I can breathe a little.
So, that's what I've been up to of late. Anyone miss me?

This has been dubbed "Soaphenge." All of those soaps have since sold.
