We're hard at work planning our Summer 2011 line. Our Spring 2011 line has been determined (thanks
S.O.A.P. panel!) and will be announced soon. One of the ways I work to plan future seasons is by reading a ton of magazines, walking the mall (color trend, scent trends, bottle shapes and sizes all play into that) and buying from a bunch of different vendors to see what they are making (what they're trending towards, are they making traditional products with a twist, what colors seem to be hot, what new ingredients have caught their eye). So, lucky me, it's part of my quarterly job to seek out cool bath and body products to buy and yes, use.
My first purchase yesterday was from
Angel Face Botanicals out of Portland, Oregon.
Then I went over to
Nature's Art and grabbed some all natural toothpaste that I had my eye on. And, since you can't just buy one thing, I tossed a couple other things into my cart.
I also ordered from LUSH to see what's going on in their trendy world (I am looking forward to trying their solid conditioner). I can't wait to use the products, be inspired and get some new Shout-Out to Soapmakers Interviews up and running for you to read and get energized by.
