Theraisa K's Blog

As I start my venture into the DIY homemade handcrafted bath and body (cosmetic) business, I find I'm constantly writing down notes only to lose them over time. So just for my own personal reference, I'm cataloging all my fact finding here and intend to grow this list of information over time. This blog post is solely for reference only . If you see any errors, concerns or would like to add-on or offer advice on any of this information feel free to contact me or leave a comment below!

Hello and welcome to my new blog! If you're visit from my site http://www.theraisak.com you may well have guessed that I've switched gears and have gone from graphic design into a home based business selling handcrafted home, bath and body essentials. This blog will also reflect those changes in the coming months. I hope to use it as a main source of posting my experiences creating and selling as well as posting and sharing recipes and other interesting information I come across that you may enjoy reading.  Happy reading!
