Congratulations!! Love it when you hit new goals!
This memory just popped up from 8 years ago! Can’t believe I’ve had a brick and mortar almost 8 years now 🫶🏼🫶🏼 We’re planning a fun 8 year celebration for our anniversary in July!
2018 Facebook memory: Four years ago, I made my first batch of soap. I used a plastic silverware drawer as a mold and was slightly petrified that I would kill myself with lye. The years that have followed have been an amazing journey. I've burned myself with raw soap, I've made countless batches of bath bombs that cracked and fell apart before I finally got the recipe and technique correct, I've spilled soap all over my kitchen, I've thrown batches out, and I've made numerous everloving messes. I've gone from making a few soaps and putting them unlabeled into a Tupperware box to sell, to selling a wide variety in the back of my soap mobile and at festivals. I've stayed up till 4 am to finish Christmas orders and got back up at 7 to get my daughter to school. I've met so many new people and enjoyed so many smiles. You all have been such an integral part of my journey. You encouraged me, given me constructive feedback, and asked for more. The majority of my success has come from word of mouth! .....from my people sharing me with others. I've been at so many festivals where yall have sold my soap to other customers harder than I did....and man, that makes my heart right at burst. Sooo... I gotta share with you!!! I have signed the lease to have a for real, actual Southern Girl Soaps store!!!!!!!! omgah!!!!! So many times in the last four years I have wished so hard and prayed that someday my dream would become an actuality. So many times I've had the conversation with so many of you... but, probably none more than Kristine. So, this week, she saw an opportunity and called about it for me. (My forever thanks to you, Kristine King Ford 💕) I decided that it's now or never! I'm so excited to get the painting and shelving finished and get moved in!!! I'll keep you updated on the progress and hope I see you opening day!!!!!! I'm in downtown Hickory in the old Harris Arcade Bldg across from Carolina Theater!
