Heather Invented A Soap!
Actually, Two Soaps!
Heather has been my right-hand-man, I mean woman, I mean assistant, I mean side-kick for around 15 years! Besides being the Mom in our company, meaning she remembers the birthdays, orders in Chinese, keeps track of the party fund…..she has actual duties at Saltspring Soapworks.
Heather organizes and helps the soapmaking crew, does all the ordering and inventory and things like that…but most importantly, I think, she helps create all of our incredible products!
I get to invent new things….because I am the oldest and have been here for 31 years! I get an idea, like what if we did a new Bath Bomb for summer…how about strawberry and something….maybe vanilla? So, I tell Heather my idea (she always likes it) and then she goes in the back and makes one. Sometimes she comes up with little or big changes and the new thing gets even better. But now, well,,,,I am not sure how I feel about this…but Heather invented two soaps!
She didn’t tell me she was doing this…they just appeared on my desk one day. A creamy white one, to which Heather added some of our Once Day Cream, some cold cream, essential oils and buttermilk! It is to die for! Why didn’t I think of that??!! Is she trying to get my job!!?? Oh No! What if her soap creations are better than mine?
The second soap has some of our Gardener’s Hand Cream added, some powdered clay, bran for a little scrub, with essential oils. It is a lovely grey color….and a really lovely soap. I would never dream of using the creams in a soap, as it would make them more expensive…but hey! Would you pay $1.00 more for what may be the two nicest soaps in the known universe! One for the face, and one for the body, and two for the soul!
After 30 plus years of soapmaking, looking at soap, making soap, reading about soap, checking out soap on the web, I have to say she is right up there with the best!
Congratulations, Heather….and NO! You can’t have a raise!
