Greetings, Children of Paradise,the one, the only:
For the past week I’ve been in 
Yes, Virginia, there is a soapmakers conference! A good time was had by all as we learned how to set up our shops and how not to kill our profit margins. We also gained confidence with coloring. We understood more about preservatives and cold process and in between we were wrapped with veggie oils, massaged beyond belief and given incredible facials at the spa. Oh! Who could forget about the entertainment?
Dennis and Kayla Favorianti of Essential Wholesale gave us an incredible evening of comedy delight with Jon Reep
and Wendy Liebman
in attendance while jugglers and stiltwalkers and masked characters walked around the party! I can’t put into words how amazing this conference was as the vendors filled our goodie bags with decadent body treats and samples for us to bring home. There were so many things that we received and won that I had to go and purchase another suitcase just to bring all my extra treats with me! To top it all off it was fantastic to meet my fellow soapmakers! I had seen their names on the computer over the years but was now able to fit faces and personalities together. The camaraderie was so enjoyable! Out of all the conferences I have attended, I do have to say that this was one of the most well run and put together events ever! The volunteers and people needed to put this on were amazing on a spectacular level. Everything ran on time. If there were glitches, they were never seen or heard. It was a well run piece of machinery. I was sad when it was all over, but excited to know that I will be attending again in
