When my husband came back from his travels, he brought for me 5kilos of beautiful olive oil soap. It keep my skin soft and clean and I don't use any additional moisturisers when I use it. It is excellent. I have recently come across the same bars selling on the Internet as Aleppo Gold at £5.25 a bar. He tells me that what he paid for my bars too (yeah, I bet!). I shows my husband the website, yes, says he, we have all that sort of thing so cheap. I just didn't think you would be interested!!!SO now I am wondering whether this might be a new little enterprise for me.
I have a sister in law that lives is quite business savvy and would find a little extra money useful. If the soap was shipped by surface mail then it would have a pretty minimal carbon footprint. All of the ingredients are natural and good for us, in fact the production is pretty much unchanged for the last 1300 years. in Aleppo,
I have another sister in law that lives near the dead sea. Maybe we could bottle up some mud or salt scrub too. Okay, I am getting a little carried away but I do like a project and this could be fun, plus it helps a couple of relatives who could really do with some help.
Hmmm, something to think about.
What a lovely idea to have a "soap shop" - natural body friendly personal products are so important!

I love home business ideas like this. I hope it works out. I inherited my mom's habit of saving nice 'guest' soap and never using it. She'll use the soap now since she doesn't have to be as frugal as when she had 5 kids but I still hoard it and I don't even have kids.
ReplyDeleteIn the past we would have been laughed at for squirelling away like this but now times are a bit hard its become the done thing.
