Mercifully, I have reached the end of a very long week. It was a good meeting today at the salon, although I can still smell the hair coloring bleach, even now, after not having been there for 5 hours! I wonder if my hair will lighten by environmental osmosis? It's a flipping miracle that I can smell anything at all over the pungent aromas of the 117 different essential oils that I have been working with today. One of them spilled on my work island and it is forever going to smell like ginger in here, which I truly detest. Why can't there be an essential oil that smells like S'mores or unicorns or Disney World?
A new line of products is going to be released next week that will include five items, but, so help me, none of them will smell like ginger! We went into final testing today and I will be glad to get this stuff out. We don't test on animals, or not that often anyway, but the Boxer and Rat Terrier don't really scream anymore when I spray stuff in their direction. Now we test on actual kids, sometimes babies and pregnant women, but we try to stick to kids. They're pretty resilient. My current tester is about 5 years old and as long as she falls asleep tonight, I will be a very happy camper. If not, I will be sure to hear from her mother in the morning, first thing. Either way, I will know if what I am trying to make now works and is ready to be released on an unsuspecting public. Want some?
Sunset around here marks the Sabbath and that means that I won't be working for about 24 hours. What a lovely break! If only I could shut my brain off too. But I am pretty sure that when I go to sleep tonight I am going to see candles and labels and bottles and websites and blogs dancing like sugar plums in my head! At sunset tomorrow night I will be back on the clock and ready to hit the ground running while my husband tried to entertain our 8 year old son with something that keeps him from interrupting MOMMY WHILE SHE IS CRAZY! I will know that the hard part of the product release is done when all the vials and jars and droppers and sprayers disappear back onto my work shelves from which they came. There will soon be a link on the website that talks about the new products, but I am not going to go into detail on that now. Now, I am on a break. Just as Ross and Rachel, I'm on a break.
For now, the most important thing if my life is a shot of Theraflu Severe Cold, a trip to the hot tub and maybe a piece of turtle pie. I gotta tell you, if turtle pie doesn't cure what ails you, you might as well be dead. Especially since it's made from real turtles... Just because I don't test on animals doesn't mean I won't eat one.
