Hi Reader,

This week and next are full of fun behind-the-scenes details for handmade skincare businesses, and I'm here to give you the scoop!

Amazon Spring Sale, 3/20/24-3/25/24

If you're in the process of starting your skin care business, this is a great time to grab the essential supplies and some ingredients if you're ready:

​Supplies and Ingredients for the Natural Skincare Recipe Book​

Click the red link above to find these items on sale:

• Digital Scale
• Heat Gun
• Glass Pyrex Set
• Small Glass Ramekins (with Lids)
• More added daily

This is a great week to go through the product packaging guides to see if anything else has been discounted during the Spring Sale.

I know it's SUPER tempting to buy #allthethings when you see a sale, but remember that shelf life is a HUGE detail when dealing with natural ingredients (and even applies to adhesive products, such as packaging tape and product labels).

Do your homework by sifting through these two handy posts before you make any purchases:

• ​Shelf Life of Natural Skincare Ingredients (for Handmade Businesses)​
• ​Bulk Purchasing Tips for Your Handmade Skincare Business​

Free Tax Training (3/25-3/28)

The Amazon Spring Sale ends on 3/25, but that is ALSO the day that Janet's FREE tax training seminar BEGINS!

Just now tuning in?

Janet from Paper+Spark is holding a free 4-day training that covers the 3 types of taxes that every e-commerce seller needs to know (for newbies and seasoned sellers alike).

I learned everything about the FINANCIAL side of business from Janet and her trainings - she makes this all so very approachable.

('Team Janet' over here FOR LIFE.👏)

​The free training is from 3/25-3/28, but you can sign up ahead of time right here! (#affiliatelink)​
