Well, That Didn't Go as Planned!
Hi Friend,
Goodness, have I got a story to tell you!
You know I had been busy making Savours and getting ready for SweetSavours' first market. I had the ingredients, the formulas, and my production schedule all lined up. I thought I was ready!
Apparently, my creams had other ideas! 😂
One batch was too thin, another was too thick, and just when I thought I'd figured things out, the next batch completely separated. Almost every batch I made failed. And yes, I was beyond frustrated! After all those late nights, wasted ingredients, and hours of work, I arrived at the first market with very little to offer. I admit, it was heartbreaking.
I knew that I wanted my creams to be rich, soft, nourishing, and wonderful on your skin. The lotions were to be smooth and moisturizing. I've made them that way before, and I wasn't willing to settle for anything less, just to have something on the table.
So, I took a WOOSAH moment and I went back to the formulas!
I needed to understand what was going wrong, make the necessary adjustments, and get things working again. And that's what I did. I recognized the little things that made the big mistakes. I adjusted formulas, and I've kept moving forward, one batch at a time. I won't tell you it was easy, but I certainly was not going to give up!
And you know something? I'm getting excited again. 😊
SweetSavours' next market is November 14th, and I've got plenty of Savours to make between now and then!
I'll tell you more about what's happening at the Apothecary in my next letter.
Until then, I hope things are going well in your little corner of the world. And if you've had a few things go sideways lately, believe me, I understand!
With love,
Sherri

Sometimes things don't work out the way we planned. It's okay to be disappointed. Just don't stay there too long.
WOOSAH through it!
Learn what you can, make a few adjustments, and keep moving forward. There's still something good ahead. 💚
