Online Shopping For My Products

Yesterday I place the order for the wooden soap mold and today, I placed the order from my two suppliers in USA. One for the scoops and carmine pink mica and the other order is for my Mineral Makeup Jars.

I just ordered my Mineral Makeup jars last month and I didn't expect that I will be ordering again this soon for jars. I received one big order last month and I don't want to run out of stock. I need to order in case I will have another big order for my foundations and veil. I was about to order bigger number of jars but I realized that it will be cheaper to order smaller number of jars per shipping to avoid high higher shipping cost and importation tax. So I guess I will be ordering jars to this supplier often than my other products.

I also noticed that I only few carmine pink mica for my eyeshadows and lip products. I forgot to order the carmine pink on my last order from this supplier so I have to place another order. I really hope I can get this ingredients before I receive orders for my eyeshadows and lip products that needs pink carmine.

For the wooden soap mold, well it is just my curiosity to make soaps using the wooden soap mold to make my soaps looks more like a homemade or handmade soap. I was about to create my own soap recipe but I realized that it will be cheaper to use my supplier's soap bases. I will just make my own soap recipe after we have moved to our new house. It's just my cravings to craft my own soap recipe. Beside, I am running out of money on my paypal.

I only have one more tools to order outside Canada. The lipstick mold. I haven't tried using the lipstick mold that I just ordered last month, so I dont know if it is worth to order for more. I will try my best to make one lipstick tomorrow and see if it is a good lipstick mold to use in making my own lipstick to sell online, so I can order for more.

See, I bought all these products using the money I made from my webstore and I still have few amount left on my paypal. My business can now support the expenses in buying the tools and ingredients I used to run my business. I might not order from any of my supplier outside Canada for a couple of monhts from now, except for the Mineral Makeup Jars supplier. Because I need to place smaller number of jars per shipping to avoid higher importation tax and shipping cost. So I will probably need to order the jars every month.

This means, I can start saving money for marketing. I still have few more weeks left for this month to total all my savings for the month of February and see if I can spend money for blog promotions to start getting solid backlinks for my webstore.

This is how I spend my time when I am not at work. I am making my life worthy than spending time with worthless things like what other people that I know.

This is how I spend my mind instead of thinking about how other people run their lives. Make yourself good on something and have fun doing it.
