  • Hi friends! In this studio vlog I am making 450 lip balms with the new flood trays that I showed in a previous video. I am working on scaling up my business this next year and trying to increase production by investing in new equipment.

    Go to a grocery store, and ask for some pallets. You can sand and paint them similar to your mini fridge colors. It will get things off the floor, and be astherically pleasing!

    Easy Peasy~ Just cover a card board box with Pretty Paper like the fridge and put the box over the Uglies! It helps with the noise and is pleasing to the eyes when you chance a look that direction~

    Well if you ever come to Canada, Canadian tire has blue and black and I think a red one and maybe an all black one.

    I really enjoyed your video. I completely understand the need for aesthetics in your studio. I love how you did your mini fridge. As for the shop vac, girl grab a can of Krylon paint and go to down. Paint it a pretty color. Orange is Rigid's branding color so it will be a really long time before we see a pretty blue or green shop vac, LOL!

    Very nice soothing video. Just one request ~ please talk about in a video what preservatives should be used in a lip balm to increase its shelf life (say 2 years) as I am planning to start a small scale business of lip balms. Love from India ❤️❤️❤️

    The same way you did the fridge, you can spray paint the vac to your desired color. It worked for me.

    This may seem silly, and time consuming but you could do the same thing you did to your fridge to your shop vac and the item next to it! 😁 that way it’s close to your brand and pretty. (I love the Gilmore Girls and one episode Lorelei dressed up a hammer for Rory when she did charity work to build a house. The idea I gave you kind of reminds me of that 😁)

    • @caitlinblue
      @caitlinblue  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love that idea! I too am a huge Gilmore Girls fan as I actually grew up in the town it was modeled after which is seriously so quaint and pretty!

    I would try hitting the moulds with a heat gun first to melt as much of the lip balm out before washing. It's great to see how they worked for you!

    Do you sanitize the lip balm tubes first or do they come sanitized in the bag?

    • @caitlinblue
      @caitlinblue  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are already sanitized from my supplier, as long as you keep the bag/box secure and nothing can contaminate the tubes while you store them.

    For your mold, you have tried 5 times your recipe and 6 times your recipe… maybe the right spot might be 5.5 times your recipe? 🤔Shop Vac have made colored shop vac in the past but I have only seen it in the smaller model… mine is grey and purple… got it long time ago in liquidation because it have been discontinued… good luck to find one with a lovely color 😊
