Soap, Nail Polish, and Lip Balm

This week, we only met with Mrs. Hardcastle on Monday and Tuesday, since I’m headed to Memphis. She has given us a lot of resources that we can use as we craft our “businesses” and some of the stuff is helpful beyond just starting a business. For example, one of the activities that we did yesterday was going through a set of cards with various adjectives on them and we organized them into categories of what we wanted our brands to be, not to be, were torn, or it didn’t apply to us. For both of us, and probably a fair number of people, this activity actually ended up with showing not only how we wanted our brand to be, but also who we are (or want to be).

In addition to working on this sort of activity and others to help build our brands, we also made a few more products, nail polish and lip balm. These were both relatively easy and not as dangerous or complicated as the soap was. We took home and can start using them. Our soap is still drying and will continue to for a few weeks.

From here, we can continue working on our brands. Mrs. Hardcastle has suggested a few steps we could take now even if we are unsure if we ever want to start a brand.

I have enjoyed these weeks a lot, though I have found that I like having a certain level of structure to my days, more than what we had with Mrs. Hardcastle. I think if I did ever run my own business, I would have to keep myself very in check and scheduled, or have someone to help me with that.
