I don't know what happened to me yesterday, but I feel like I was run over by a truck.
Maybe it's the combination of the new job, too much Marmite or just plain exhaustion with the programming project at night. It got so bad that I actually couldn't show up for the day job either. Can't complain that it's the weekend.
Besides all that fun, I finally settled on the soap recipe I can't be sure if the proportions will translate to mass production, but I still need to create small batches before going into larger sizes.
Meanwhile, I did settle on the brand and a few of the labels.
There will be 5-7 types total, I think. In addition to this, I already have the recipes for the Herbal, Plus and Extra blends. Herbal will be exfoliating, moisturizing and all that good stuff. Plus is for extra sensitive skin and Extra is for more dirt removal strength.
The Classic blend is just plain Lye soap. The most basic you can get and nothing fancy. Mint will have Spearmint extracts and Pine will have Pine oil extracts. The logos are pretty reflective of the types. I couldn't decide on an exact symbol to reflect "classic" at first, but finally settled on a square and the Golden Spiral. I think few other symbols would embody "perfection" and "antiquity" as well.
Now I just need to find a place to start making this stuff...
