How To Agree, Disagree & Remain Friends On Twitter: 3 Unique Perspectives. [Part 3]
Michelle sarvasoap’s perspective on how to agree, disagree and remain friends on Twitter We’re all using Twitter to achieve our goals. Camaraderie, networking, and promotion are the top three for me. From my perspective, camaraderie must come first. If we don’t have that, how are the other two even possible? We all come from different backgrounds, believe in different things, have different areas of expertise as well as inexperience. But we all are working diligently–much of our work utterly invisible to the Twittersphere–on things we only have 140 characters to “plug”. Tweets need to pack a punch in order to get noticed. I’m a meditation instructor and yoga therapist; as…

How To Agree, Disagree & Remain Friends On Twitter: 3 Unique Perspectives. [Part 2]
This is a rather long post but well worth the read. As we all discover the benefits of social networking there are some dangers to recognize too. Please learn from our experiences and incorporate our mistakes into your own social networking repertoire. We hope you will share this will colleagues and fellow Twitters and fell free to tweet us your thoughts and feelings. JoAnn PackagingDiva’s perspective on how to agree, disagree and remain friends on Twitter. Regina, Michelle and I learned a lesson this week: Some things you just can’t discuss on Twitter. It started innocently enough two colleagues with like minded interests discussing a common topic the environment. It seems like…

How To Agree, Disagree & Remain Friends On Twitter: 3 Unique Perspectives. [Part 1]
We had a heated exchange on Twitter yesterday- Post is long but worth the read! 😀 Regina – drflower’s perspective on how to agree, disagree and remain friends on Twitter It’s NOT always simple to get your point across in 140 characters per post. Especially when the stakes are high. We are talking about our environment. Keeping cool every sec on this issue is just plain tough! Here is what was said: sarvasoap Have ordered samples of new packaging materials, looking forward to trying them out. Recycled and fair trade. packagingdiva @sarvasoap keep me posted on what U think. One of the topics I’ll be covering @ the Avery Dennison marketing seminar…

Life Chef – Food for life is much like soap for life
I say this as a golden rule above all others when cooking: use your instincts. Follow that with your senses: sight, smell, taste, texture. And finalize your decision through the filter of common sense. That applies to every dish, every time. But back to the parsley...

Entering a contest:Soap is Life, Art, and Science
Soap is Life, Art, and Science! I’ve made soap for a few years now (2001) but it hasn’t been since I’ve started Dr. Flower’s Essentials, Inc. that I’ve found some interesting, informative, and all around neat people in this independent industry. Marr Williams is among the top of that list with her blog (laugh with me now) Smellychicksonline.com. One of Marr’s features on her blog, besides informative information about soap making and small business, is Soap Porn! It’s a creative way to have shout outs for artistic, interesting, not your average soap bars. If you look at her site today, there’s a new one that I love, button soap bar…

Do you treat your soap bar right?
How many folks open a brand new bar of soap, use it for their shower, and then promptly leave the wet bar on a flat counter? Do you know what that does to your soap bar??? Ouchie!….or better yet SOGGY! or Gooey! As a soap bar gets smaller, it gets even more susceptible to careless handling. How’s your soap dish? Do you have one? Does it drain the water away from the bar? If it doesn’t then your soap bar is at risk for the Goo factor and won’t last as long. If the soap bar is allowed to dry between uses, it will last longer! Soap dishes come in…

Too Cute! – Make Tea, Not War!
This just made me laugh out loud! I happened upon a store that carries another neat gadget called wirepod and found this one! I’m a tea fanatic! It can’t be from a bag either, bulk tea is just better! Anyhoo…stick ‘um up! Let’s make tea, not war! Wirepod’s website said that Heliotrope – in Decatur, Ga carries this device. It’s not on their website 😮 Does that mean they are sold out? Okay! Enough shoppin’ back to soaping! ~Happy Washing Regina

Stella Soaps! – Jewelweed soap’s meow!
Our yard is yet to be exterminated of poison ivy. Why? I’d rather treat it with organic means. I’ve done plenty of reading on how high percentage vinegar does the trick. I’ve tried it! Works great in the full sun, otherwise you don’t hurt the plant AND expose yourself further to it. That’s a problem for folks like me who have been allergic to it since a kid. My husband did a bunch of work on it until now he’s able to get it too. I’m currently looking into a “rent-a-goat” program. Under rules of my subdivision, livestock are not allowed. Think I could get them to approve a couple…
