smileys/smiley20.gifI think we need to get the folks at MB to make us mini soaps like the hotel ones and then it says Mia Bella on it...then I get to thinking and could I make a mold somehow with my site on the soap. If not, we could buy from the company packaged soap with our info. I also want tins that I can use as promo....okay, i think I need to sleep!smileys/smiley22.gif

I agree 100% about the trial size soaps. They would be excellent for sales and gift baskets and give-aways at parties, etc.

Make your own. Melt the soap down in a little bit of water, simmer on stove, pour into a mold, let cool, thus harden up, then Voila!

That's a great idea - I think I'm going to try to make some. I experimented with making some mini jar candles.

I make face wash like this. Less messy than the bar sitting on your sink.

Hey Tracey...
I know this may be a dumb question but as we all know there are no dumb questions just dumb people. smileys/smiley2.gifsmileys/smiley36.gif Anyway do you know if your method still allows the soap to retain its scent?
Thanks in advance

Yes it does. I use it on my face every night. Just use a little bit of water for the molds.

Why do you need water to melst soap with for molds?
It thins the soap for handwash but why water for molds?

Just an easier melt, won't burn the soap in the pot. Of course you could try it without water I suppose.

Okay I just want to be clear. The soap will melt? So you put a little water in and let it melt and it will harden back up? That would be neat to put in little baskets and as give aways. I may have to try it.

I *love* the mini hotel soap idea. Wouldn't this be a great little give-away in
place of business cards? (kinda like matchbooks, but little soaps instead?)
Oh how I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have samples of our Bella Bars. Imagine
how adorable they'd be! And how awesome for when you're traveling, to
hand out on the plane or during layovers.. We all know how awful hotel
soaps are.. LOL!smileys/smiley2.gif
Kimmie, are you going to use your charming personality and win over the
folks at corporate with this great idea? (PLEASE?)
Go get 'em, girl!

Shall I, maybe I should get a soap petition going...Yes, a hotel soap...with the consultants info on the wrapper...like a card...Yes, its brilliant-at least we think!smileys/smiley17.gif I can try to pitch it!! I guess its my Flight attendant mind working...I would go back to Southwest Airlines and give every pilot and Fly girl one. Then, I would go to all the private jetties and offer it too!! SO, until I can do that -- can someone melt me some soap and make it a thin square and then put my info on it wrapped? Huh? Huh? I know there are creative chicas here that have biz's like this!!
