Or so I'm trying to tell myself, lol.
No, it's OK.
I slept pretty good! I got so much done yesterday which is great but...everyone I know has a big but...I made 20 bath bombs and they were all duds. Fell apart.
I fuckin' hate this part of it. Weather, believe it or not, has a big part in whether your bombs will work out or not. I thought I'd use more oils but that made them too soft and yeah...total waste of supplies.
Whatever. I'm not giving up. But I will say...goddamn, the littlest things can set my ass right off. My anxiety is through the roof now.
So I did make a tiny batch of four and I should know relatively soon if they'll be ok or not. One of the things I really want is a bathbomb press but they are 2000.00 dollars and each mold is $500.00. I will eventually get one of these but one thing I might order that's not too expensive are these bathbomb racks that you can order. It's shelving but it comes with what looks like a cupcake tin and the bombs fit perfectly inside while they cure and dry out, thus opening you up to having the molds I currently use to make more bombs.
Yes, this would be nice but we are not there yet.
One thing at a time.
So today's priority is bathbombs, body butters, maybe lotion. lotion bars. I had to order lip balm containers because I was out. They will arrive tomorrow and that one is quick, it's really quick.
Saturday is for labeling and wrapping. So I'll know Saturday AM if the bathbombs are gonna be a go or not. I can only make so many. I just got distracted and went down a rabbit hold. I found a cheaper press with cheaper molds but what does that mean? Is it high quality?
Not that I can get it right now anyways. A: I can't afford it. B: It wouldn't help my current situation anyways.
All I can do is keep going, that's literally it. The bombs I'm making this time should do all the fun stuff except shoot out color. I am going to start experimenting with what they call embeds but I don't have time. They will still be beautiful, the foam will be colored and the bathbombs should travel.
I cranked the heat all the way up to 90 and it finally came on so we should be good to go. I'm going to make a product, clean something in the house, make a product, clean something in the house.
I need a bigger apartment but I'm grateful for the one I have.
I am grateful.
Time to uncluster the fuck that is my brain. I will do that by showering; water calms me and by meditating. I have a plan. I'm going to stick to it and trust the process and just keep going.
Be Blessed.
Love & Light,
Neecie
