BEGINNER SOAPMAKING!
It's All About Beginning
When you try something new, do you feel a little embarrassed and inferior due to lack of knowledge and experience?
Well, don’t!
To undertake something new means that you actively learn, broaden your horizons and gain another skill. Your brain churns as it works to understand the topic. Anticipation mounts as you prepare for that first batch. Finally, you feel the rush of excitement as you put those plans into action and embark on the project. It is a great thing to be a newbie!
It is such a great thing, in fact, that we dedicated an entire issue
