UPDATE:
Well I have some bad news to share.
Today we were scheduled to make the Colonia F Base Shave soap had made a big liter bottle of the Aroma blend as I had pretty much run out and definitely not enough to make a batch of soap and other supporting products. Well we got the unscented bulk soap I have made started. It was melted and ready for the next step which is where I add my Water and Oil based add on ingredients as I normally do and then when blended I bring the temps down, add the Aroma blend and it’s done.
Well today when I grabbed the liter bottle of the Aroma blend I was so focused on getting the amount of the scent into the soap that on my way to the soap I tripped and feel on one of the stool legs and the glass liter bottle fell on the concrete floor and smashed into a hundred pieces and spilling all the Aroma blend! I’m sick about this. My helper Annette was trying to convince me that accidents happen and of course I know that but I was mad at myself for not looking where I was walking and my brain 3 steps ahead of my body. Well it’s gone and after I pulled myself together I went right to the computer and started to order all my aromatics from a few different suppliers with one of them being in Italy so the ingredients won’t get here for about 10 days!
It is what it is and there’s nothing I can do about it but wait for all the ingredients to get here. So that was going to be a big batch as I've had a lot of requests for it from both customers and some vendors so I’ve decided while I’m waiting to take half the soap and make the Honeysuckle so I can get that back in stock and I just ran out of Unscented and I’m low on Lavender again so I’ll get those back in stock. As soon as my aromatics arrive I’ll get Colonia made and the ones I know are waiting for Colonia I’m truly sorry for what’s going to be a delay in the production of Colonia
Also while I’m waiting I’ll get the Russian Tea going.
Life! Sometimes you know.

The important news is that you are okay. Waiting on the Colonia does not even come close in importance to your health and safety. For me, I still need to try the Rosa, Watermelon, Kailua, and Lemoncello being delivered today. It is good to hear you were not hurt and I am sure the honeysuckle will be extremely popular too.

Frank I'm glad you weren't hurt badly. We ALL have scents we want but also have soaps to hold us over.
PS, that'll teach you to delay the Russian Tea

Thanks guys for the understanding and support. I skinned my one knee a bit and the bottom of my left hand that I used to break the fall but I’m good. I’m glad the bottle flew away from me and broke as I probably would have had a little problem with the glass that was all over the place. Cleaning up the oil was not fun but we will have room Colonia room freshener for a while. lol
And yes Dave your Russian Tea will now be moved up in the schedule.
