I am always on the lookout for ways to get good quality materials for Candlelight Boutique’s products without paying a mint for them. Unfortunately, materials for our products are not cheap. They may not seem like they’d be that expensive, but let me tell you – sea salt is more expensive than you think! 
I mean, granted it isn’t like we have to find a place to get Wholesale Leather or anything like that, but the cheaper we can get good quality materials for our bath salts, lotions, scrubs, and body washes, the better.
The place we get our fragrance oils from has good quality fragrances for a good price, so we order from her a lot. We also find good prices for things like the dendritic salt and sea salts we use in our bath salts. But other things, like the needs for our lotions and body washes are bit more expensive and harder to find good quality but inexpensive sources for.
And yet people wonder why our prices are going up.
I’m beginning to wish I’d picked a different major. I mean, I know the people at University of Phoenix said that web design was a field that would continue to grow, but frankly, there are so many web designers out there already and a lot of them aren’t getting as much work as they’d like or need. Plus, I have a feeling that even with the degree, most people would consider my work mediocre at best.
