Why I'm busy



My soap's in the Father's Day gift guide.

Of the June issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine!



Holy cow. I'm hoping that business will be good, but not so good that I can't handle it. It's coming out this week... wish me luck!

Great news, girlfriend! Couldn't have happened to a nicer entrepreneur. Was this what you were hinting at a few posts ago?

Try to remember us little people when your up in the 101st floor of your corporate tower.

Good stuff! Fun stuff. But I understand the mixed feelings.

Man soaps? Where's Horse Sweat, Stale Beer, Gym Socks?

If the work becomes too onerous, there's always capitalism. You could hire a bunch of undocumented workers.

Seriously, congratulations - or whatever sentiment is appropriate here.

You better commence to making soap - I'm placing an order for my husband! Glad I ran across this, as I don't read BH&G.

Ericka said...

As a customer, I can say Natural Impulse soaps are awesome, though I make hubby use "androgenous" soaps like oatmeal and honey. I'm waiting for her to do a soap with cocoa or cloves.

meresy_g said...

Congratulations! How exciting. Wishing you the most work you can handle! I might have to try those soaps sometime after the rush.

robin andrea said...

That is great news, and good luck.

Super news! Now get off the computer and get soaping!

I'm waiting for a barbeque-smoke soap, for rainy winter days whan I can't persuade Joe to go hang over the Weber with some ribs for half an hour. Sometimes the effect delays dinner a bit.

For its effect on the guys, maybe diesel fuel?

And congrats on the buzz!

Nothing like an unsolicited pat on the back to make your year huh? Now if t brings the customers along with the accolades you'll be set!

Thank me for the cool weather over the weekend--i'm coming down to see mom in Hoover, and didn't want to sweat, so ordered up some mt weather!sn

The MacBean Gene said...

Good for you! Anything that helps us guys smell better is a wonderful thing. I did have to cancel my subscription to BH&G because even after telling them several times I was a Mr. they insisted on addressing me as Mrs.

Karen Schmautz said...

Macbean: Funny!

Congratulations Rur...I love that magazine. I'll keep my eyes peeled for your ad.

Farmgirl Susan said...

Awesome. You go, girl! : )

I gotta say, that my favorite soap was a teatree/mint combo made with hempseed oil. That stuff was made by some Saltspring Island hippies and the big difference between it and other teatree/mint soaps was that these guys didn't skimp on the essential oils. So when you used the stuff you could feel a pleasant tingle, and you could imagine it doing some damage to any fungal pathogens on your skin. I gotta pick some of that up next time I go home.

Impatient Patient said...

What a gorgeous blog!!!

Sky said...

WOWOW - congrats!

Karen Schmautz said...

Ha!

I got my BH&G in the mail yesterday (pony express runs a little slow around here) and I saw your advertisement.

Congratulations.

Stu said...
