@Susurrus oh my twinsie u need my LM oil. Its for all over chronic pains. Especially back pain. Its what i just sent my aunt, who wants a vat. Gary uses it all the time and screams for more when he is out.
@BryWisteria i would love to open a store. I had one before covid hit. But shut it down due to low sales. Now i sell only by word of mouth. And most of the time i give it away, im a horrible business woman. Lol.
It just breaks my heart to see or hear someone in pain, and knowing i can do something about it.
U can even ask @jan_TheGreenWitch im terrible when it comes to prices. Pretty much I’ll do donations, i guess.
Oh my goodness… so off topic but not off topic… so in the last couple of weeks I have made things for 3 different people & helped 2 others with different situations… every time someone asks me what to pay or if I want to be paid or how to pay me… I just ask them if they are happy & walk away. However, the last person, instead she just put a thing in my car for me when I wasn’t looking, someone else gave me a gift card to Dunkin Donuts… so I switched as long as your happy, any type of donation is fine.
Building up a network and selling by word of mouth is a great business practice if you ask me! The best customers are the ones we really connect with and care about, and in a close network, you’ll always be able to check in and see the results of your hard work
You have a really generous heart, Christeena, and you are such a blessing- I’m with Jan on this one! You and your talents are worth any price you choose to set
@BryWisteria i just am terrible at setting prices bc when i did i felt bad. Bc i wanted to ensure that ppl could afford the products. Most of the time i was like ok just pay for shipping, bc those are outrageous. As far as the products themselves i basically gave them away.
@Mistress_Of_Herbs if I could just quote your whole answer, then I would… seriously…
TWINSIE
I can’t sell anything I make… yesterday I was helping someone & they knew I wouldn’t take money, so she put a dozen eggs in my backseat (she owns chickens & they were fresh from yesterday & in a carton ) I didn’t even realize it until I got home from her house. The only thing I have really ever asked for (a few times anyway) was… Shipping. Other than that, I would just give away things that I made.
I think I am going to try the chronic pain/back pain… not sure what to call it… oil. I am the Queen of chronic pain I’ve already started wearing my compressions & ankle braces. Up next are knee & wrist/thumb braces
No kidding! Shipping these days can easily break the bank
You are really so kind and thoughtful but in addition to shipping I think you should at the very least also recoup the cost of the ingredients. Even if you’re not at the point where you want/are able to charge for your skills (although hopefully someday! ), I’m confident that most people would be happy to cover the expenses- you’re already donating your time, care, and talents- you definitely shouldn’t be losing money in the process!
Just my two cents here- friends gotta look out for one another!
I want to try to do this oil for my boyfriend’s migraines, but I’ve never made oils before. Can I use coconut oil as a carrier oil? Am how can I keep it liquid? Thank you very much and blessed be!
Thanks this is a great one! As a sufferer from migraines you have no idea how helpful this is. I am going to pre-mix some so when i feel a migraine coming on i will have some on hand. Cheers
Coconut oil is a gentle carrier oil, so you would add the ingredients & then fill with the oil & herbs together in a jar or roller. So you may have to use fewer herbs or add more oil… it would be dependent on how much you are making, the container, & how you want to use it as an oil.
Anything after that, I would definitely ask @Mistress_Of_Herbs, she may have another recipe for that purpose that explains it a bit better for you @SpanishWitchy
