Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Laurel, That sounds like a wonderful idea. I use popcicle sticks cut in 1/2 to sample my skin balm. You are like me, I lay awake and think of things I can do. Most of the time I am remodeling my house or craft-room or something. I am always dreaming about it too. Too bad I don't have the money to put my " great " ideas in motion. When we redid the kitchen I had it all planned out in my head before the contractor was even found. haha My husband just laughed when I showed him my plans that I had made in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. Maybe should have been a designer of some sort. LOL I hope you all have a safe and wonderful New Year! Blessings, Candi Fairy Dust Creations As I drifted off to sleep last night, I thought of this possible scenario for lip balm samples: I use coffee stirring sticks to stir my waxes and oils together when I'm making lip balm; I can also to test the hardness/softness of the blend as I'm working by rubbing the smooth, rounded end on my lips. The lip balm sets up almost immediately after being lifted from the hot mixture. So why not cut the coffee stirring sticks into 2 1/2 " lengths saving the rounded ends and throwing away the middles. These could be dipped in 1/2 " of warm balm mixture and then a little piece of wax paper folded over, I'm sure it would stick. A small basket or bowl of these would allow people to sample independently. This is what I do at night instead of counting sheep. Best to all, Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
