Making a Life

Posted by Jenni Feingold on

So much of what I thought I wanted has changed so drastically in the past few months. I had a very wise friend not to long ago tell me honestly I didn’t need to hate money or dealing with the financial aspects of my business because I could do so much with it if I would just allow myself to. She was right and it has changed my perspective so much. I used to want to make more money with both my soap business and with my Beachbody business so I could do more, have more, be more, but, now I realize...

Hello Holidays!!

Posted by Jenni Feingold on

‘Tis The Giving Season Happy Holidays! I know some of you may be groaning and mentioning that its barely November that there is still plenty of time but what you might not be aware of is how early Hanukkah is this year. I know I’m still shocked that it starts BEFORE Thanksgiving. Thats right while most of you will be doing your Thanksgiving Prep we will be sitting down to Brisket (maybe) knowing my kids I’ll just make 2 small turkeys this year vs one large one, and lighting the candles of the first night. My personal favorite part is...

Posted by Jenni Feingold on

Yes I’m doing Whole30 again.  No I’m not starving to death as you can see from my above salad. Yesterday I totally cheated.

I see that I need to make 5 lbs of tattoo balm or almost 300 POUNDS of soap over...

Posted by Jenni Feingold on

On closing the Etsy Shop It was with a heavy heart in February that I decided to close my Etsy shop. It was through Etsy that I was really able to reach so many of you. The main reason for the decision to close is the way shipping is calculated. With the flat rate shipping not a weight based real time integrated shipping calculator and the weight of my products when the new USPS rates came out I couldn’t seem to find that middle ground, either I was greatly overcharging or vastly undercharging and when it came to International shipping...

Slowing Down and Smallering for a New ME!

Posted by Jenni Feingold on

I have to honestly say the past 3 years business wise, personal wise & family wise have been such a whirlwind. From in 2010 my business grew to SIX TIMES what it had been in 2009 and 2009 had already DOUBLED 2008. I was in awe. I was and have been struggling to keep up ever since. I have felt constantly behind always wanting to do more, make more, be more, create more new products trying to fill everyone’s needs. The person’s needs I was ignoring most of the time were my own. In the past 3 years I have gained an...
