Basic Bath Salts Recipe
by Jane Lake
What do you need:
2 cups of Epsom Salts (magnesium sulfate)
2 cups of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
2 cups of sea salt (sodium chloride)
Each of these ingredients has certain qualities and uses. Epsom salt, when added to a bath, is absorbed through the skin and is known to draw toxins from the body, sedate the nervous system, reduce swelling and relax muscles. It's also a natural skin softener and exfoliator.
Baking soda helps neutralize the acids on your skin and wash away oils and perspiration, leaving your skin silky smooth. It's also useful to relieve itching.
Sea salt helps cleanse pores, alleviate dry skin conditions and soften the water. Although you can substitute table salt, sea salt is preferred because it retains more minerals. Sea salt is available as fine or coarse crystals; either will work, but remember that the larger the crystals, the longer it takes for the salts to dissolve in the bath.
You can mix and match the proportions of the salts you use; many people add epsom salts, sea salt or baking soda to their bath water with no other added ingredients.
Cautions:
Bath salts are not recommended for use with babies. An allergic reaction to bath salts is also possible, particularly when herbs or essential oils are added; for this reason, a label listing the recipe ingredients is a good idea.

How to make a Homemade Oatmeal Soap
by Jane Lake
 |
| Oatmeal Soap source: OLX |
It is quick to put together, using the microwave! All you need to make the soap is one large beauty bar (preferably Dove) and four or five tablespoons of ground oatmeal.
Oatmeal Soap Supplies:
1 large bar of soap - I used Dove beauty bar which is a great product to use in hard water areas and very mild on your skin.3 to 4 tablespoons of ground up oatmeal.
4 to 5 tablespoons water
Homemade Oatmeal Soap Instructions:
Grind up the oatmeal in a food processer, hand chopper or blender until finely milled. You want the mixture to have some substance - don't reduce it to flour - but chop enough to break up most of the individual oat flakes.
Grate the Dove bar into small slivers in a large, microwavable bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. The time will vary according to your microwave; be careful the soap doesn't bubble over the bowl. Stir mixture once or twice. If you use scented soap, your kitchen will smell fragrant for hours after you are done!
When the soap has dissolved, remove from the microwave and stir. Add the oatmeal gradually, mixing in with a spoon, until you happy with the consistency and the proportion of soap to oatmeal. Pour the soap into a mold and let cool to shape.
I used a bowl-shaped cup for the two bars shown. The mixture was solidifying, but still slightly warm, when I removed it and sliced it into the two bars shown.
For larger amounts, you could use a tin can with both ends removed as your mold, then slice into round bars.
Present as a gift with a shower puff or washcloth and a handtowel.
Notes: The oatmeal soap recipe outlined above isn't a true 'hand made' soap - but the help of the microwave and other shortcuts make it a simple homemade soap to make for an special occasions like birthdays and weddings giveaways.

marketing
The management process through which goods andservices move from concept to the customer. As a practice, it consists in coordination of four elements called 4P's: (1) identification, selection, and development of a product, (2) determination of its price, (3) selection of a distribution channel to reach the customer's place, and (4) development and implementation of a promotional strategy.
As a philosophy, marketing is based on thinking about the business in terms of customer needs and their satisfaction. Marketing differs from selling because (in the words of Harvard Business School's emeritus professor of marketing Theodore C. Levitt) "Selling concerns itself with the tricks and techniques of getting people to exchange their cash for your product. It is not concerned with the values that the exchange is all about. And it does not, as marketing invariably does, view the entire business process as consisting of a tightly integrated effort to discover, create, arouse, and satisfy customer needs."

Extrapolation
Definition
Statistical technique of inferring unknown from the known. It attempts to predict future data by relying on historical data, such as estimating the size of a population a few years from now on the basis of current population size and its rate of growth. Extrapolation may be valid where the present circumstances do not indicate any interruption in the long-established past trends. However, a straight line extrapolation (where a short-term trend is believed to continue far in into future) is fraught with risk because some unforeseeable factors almost always intervene. See also interpolation.
