Introduction
Hello everyone, and welcome to this video where I will be taking you behind the scenes of my work in the studio. Today, I will be making salt botanical bath salts, mixing up rose clay face masks, and handling some shipping tasks. I'll also be sharing some exciting updates and plans for the future, so stay tuned.
Setting up the Studio
As you can see, I am working at my new desk area in the studio. I have recently expanded the studio, with shipping now moved to a different room. This allows me to have a dedicated space for my desk where I can easily take notes on orders and prepare shipments. It's great to have a more organized setup that improves efficiency and streamlines my workflow.
Taking Notes on Orders
One of the first tasks I need to take care of is jotting down some notes on the orders I have received. Today, I have a larger wholesale order to fulfill, as well as a few individual orders from my website. It's important to keep track of all the details and specific requirements for each order to ensure accuracy and customer satisfaction.
Preparing Wholesale and Individual Orders
After finalizing the notes, I grab one of my baskets and head into the room where I store all of my products. As you can see, the inventory is a bit low at the moment, but I am expecting supplies to come in soon to restock. I gather everything I need for the wholesale order and a couple of smaller individual orders. Additionally, I like to add in some cards so customers can choose personalized messages for their gift boxes.
Upcoming Changes to Gift Boxes
Speaking of gift boxes, there will be some exciting changes coming in 2022. While I will still offer the current options, I am phasing them out a bit to make room for brand new designs. I'm working on a complete overhaul of my Etsy shop to make the gift boxes easier to put together and more customized. They will feature beautiful quotes on the top of the boxes and a message inside, providing a delightful unboxing experience for recipients.
Making Botanical Bath Salts
Now let's dive into the first product we'll be making today — salt botanical bath salts. To start, I'm using dendritic salt, which is a powdered form that holds essential oils better than regular salts. I add lavender essential oil for a lovely scent, along with a hint of vanilla and tangerine or sweet orange. The combination creates a fragrance that is both soothing and invigorating. After mixing everything together, I let the dendritic salts dry before packaging them.
Creating Rose Clay Face Masks
Next, we move on to creating rose clay face masks. This particular face mask has become quite popular, known for its ability to leach out impurities and provide a gentle exfoliation. I combine bentonite clay, kaolin rose peeling clay, fuller's earth clay, and powdered goat's milk to form a well-rounded mask. The clays purify the skin while the goat's milk adds moisturizing properties. It's a winning combination that leaves the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Introducing New Shipping Area
Now let's take a moment to check out my new shipping area. I have set up some temporary tables and have my lights ready for product photography. This dedicated space allows me to efficiently process and pack orders, ensuring that each customer receives their products promptly and in perfect condition. It's an essential part of my business that I continuously strive to improve.
Packaging and Labeling the Products
With the products made, it's time to package and label them. I use various containers, such as tubes for botanical bath salts and jars for face masks. Each product is carefully labeled and prepared for shipment. I take pride in ensuring that every item looks presentable and ready to bring joy to its recipient.
Plans for 2022 and Conclusion
Looking ahead to 2022, I have exciting plans in store for my business. I will be introducing new fragrance sets and gift box themes, as well as expanding my soap production to larger batches. Additionally, I'll be adding a facial moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, which has been highly requested by customers. I'm thrilled to continue providing high-quality products and enhancing the overall shopping experience.
