The New Year A New Path

The New Year Shall be Ineresting ...

This is a blog about everything. Currently it is under contruction to hold many pieces of intereting infornmation. These topics will incude photography, crafting, soaping, DIY, reporposing ideas, planning, and other such topics.

After dealing with the increase of issues and finally getting some answers medically I now know the source of my of my pain and fatique are from several chronic pain/ medical issues. I decided I must make some decisionsin life. 

As a Photographer I have decided to focus on my interests in shooting the most. I have decided to simplify my ways of ordering and booking. I will focus on seniors, projects, events local, and some little ones/famliy. I have created some pricing to share soon as well as layouts f the sessions. I will be sticking to what the sessions  entale. It has become too hard to keep track of multiple orders where people are making payments or waiting a long to order when I owe them prints or items and such. So I will be doing a session based on session fees and lowering print prices as to encourage online ordering for most items for new sessions.  I would like to set up special sessions with time slots so that I may shoot a few in a row and offer something fun or unique! Seniors will get some very interesting deals as well. 

My SweetSuds By Bree line will focus on what you the people want the most. My goals are to give awesome infornmation on what the ingredients are good for according to research. Also I would love to channel creativity through my work. I want to show an even higher level of branding and packaging quality and creativity. focusing on selling where items will do well.

I have been working hard to find a way to share my love of pretty planning with others. To help them stay organized and so forth.  Be sure you will see more of this in the future.

Creating some interesting clothing designs and product designs has become rather soothing to me. Infact, I am working on branding and ways to share this with you as well. So with all that is to come, plaese be sure to watch this blog caefully for details, fun infornmation, and more. 

Everything Creative and Life Changes

Everything Creative And Life Changes

After being  diagnosed finally  with multiple chronic pain issues and such, I have taken steps in a new direction. I won't be able to do many weddings  for photographs . I do plan to do photography work in moderation. I plan to also pursue my crafts via my Bath and Body Products, planner and memory keeping and so forth as well as classes. I will still work my rescue job as well. I am blessed to work with a very understanding boss. 

So What's new and interesting... 

Store Online

 

The online store stuff for one! Bath and Body, Planners, crafts... and growing. Also Local Classes!

Soap Making 101 will be a fun local thing for everyone to enjoy. Who doesn't love a class with take-home stuff? 

Planner! yes, Teachers, moms, homeschool, direct sales and special needs ... many can benefit from fun lively planning!

I love working with the rescue in the office. I am always looking to help find volunteers as well as direct sales people willing to do online fundraisers and such. 

I plan to collaborate further with many many local businesses. 

I would love to pursue the blog as part of my creative outlet. My issues with blogs in the past are they were one topic blogs. My brain doesn't work like that! So that's where my idea to expand to all things crafty, creative, and helpful come in. You will be able to read and get info. on tons of creative topics ... Samples, instructions, class info, items to buy, deals, giveaways..

Follow me on this path, it is bound to be interesting.

5 Cool Things For Your Hair Or Body

#1 Let's start with sea salt shampoos! We were requested to make sea salt shampoos.. It is something that made me wonder when I first heard about it but.. just kept hearing about it. Then I was requested to make it. Guess what we whipped up today .. ( yes, sea salt shampoo!)

There are 26 minerals Sea Salt that  will  give hair the softness, bounce and body we all need.  Sea salt is good for the hair due to the minerals present in it.I found this and similar info on the subject everywhere!

#2  Exfoliation is the removal of dry/dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and is one of the most important aspects of your home skincare routine for face and body.Exfoliation not only helps many skin problems, it also increases blood circulation, which in turn helps you to achieve healthy and glowing skin.

Salt Scrubs and Sugar Scrubs have been an awesome product for us this year. We also added body wash scrub! We have added so many scents!

#3  Bath Salts ...If you're a sufferer of chronic pain related to arthritis, fibromyalgia, or muscular low back issues, this one may actually be a great help I have read.. It is said that Salt reduces swelling in cells by dehydrating them, and acts as an inhibitor of the inflammation that causes such serious pain in sufferers. This is a good thing! 

#4 Body butter !!! Body butter is made up primarily of oils and butters. Many of these natural oils and butters can penetrating the surface of the skin to help nourish and condition skin. The result is skin that is visibly smoother and silky soft. Who Doesn't want that right? 

We added body butters in recently! They are better moisturizers than lotions. 

#5  Rose Clay ! We have products with this! 

It is said that it draws out toxins and impurities from your skin. It also helps with moisture retention creating a product that is soothing, sensitive and leaves skin soft and naturally moisturized. it's a natural deep cleanser and blemish preventative. it absorbs excess oil. With regular use it can gently removes dead skin cells, improves circulation and creates a smooth, healthy glow. It can tone and tighten your skin making your skin feel firmer and more supple.

Hopefully you enjoyed this blog post! We would love to do many FB and Blog posts with Fun facts, Featured products, Featured ingredients or stores, Sales, games and more!

Whats up? Whats new? What's interesting? Well....

Well ... So much is new and interesting ! Where do we begin?

We are trying to accumulate cool fun facts for Facebook followers!

Saturday will make our 3rd Vassar's farm Market! please continue your small town support!

New packaging so deals on some items in mason jars!

Bathbombs, Sugar Scrubs, Soy Wax Tarts(melts) laundry and Dishwasher soaps... Oh my! 

This is fizzing bath salts! So cool! So relaxing! 

New lighter more uniform packaging will be a great help! Ask about discounted jars of salts from mason jars.

As for the farm market We have been greeted with open arms! A very helpful and friendly social environment! 

My Friend is also setting up with me some Saturdays making kids fun dough and goodies! We will also be making cleaning soaps for laundry and dishwasher! 

An Organic line will soon be available in the Birch Run outlets as well as directly through us!

We are looking to partner up with many retail shops and markets. We will be posting an updated list soon as well as working on the website! 

A sneak peek of  soy wax melt tarts to come!

According to Household Tips

"Since soybeans are vegetables, soy wax (basically made from hydrogenated soybean oil) is naturally biodegradable. Soy wax is also easier to remove from materials and other surfaces than paraffin wax."

This means our soy tarts are a good option.

Fun Fact: Exfoliating is a key ingredient to healthy radiant skin. Dead cells feed bacteria and they also cause your pores to become blocked leading to unhealthy skin.

Shopping Local In Many Ways Helping Each Other

There are so many ways to shop small and support local.  

We seem to have this conversation everyday. How we want to support small business. Shopping small when we can is a goal for many of my friends.. From going to coffee at Sweetcakes Cakery to running in to ShopRite for items, to filling up our tanks when we can. We all seem to enjoy some meals in town and treats.. some stuff for the garden from the Hardware or Forever green. 

But did you know it is also equally important to shop with businesses that collaborate local? 

Say Crystal's Country Cuts LLC, she has pet shampoo from Sweet Suds By Bree. That right there helps two businesses itself. Then if you break it down further ... Sweet Suds By Bree buys coconut oil and so forth rather local.  ( small ) 

Also When you go to Sweet Cakes, the Salons, or Rebel Soul and purchase Sweet Suds By Bree Products.. Depending what you get some of the items in the finished products .. like plants, florals, special salt for salts, and other cool stuff is bought local or relatively local. ( small )  Even the honey and bee's wax is local!!!

 By this we can determine you have shopped local and the money stays local and goes full circle! One or two items may have helped  2 or 3 or 4 businesses local. 

New products are coming, fun items, cute ones, and more! Much research is going into many of these item's ingredients. Some are ingredients now being grown. Branching out to farm markets and so forth as well.
