Remember When? - Folksy Friday

This weeks folksy friday is based around memories, thoughts and how we should never forget them. I incorporated many different items under this theme of Remember when? For instance; the physical memories (a trip to paris etc), how we remember them (Photo albums and our brains) & how we should never forget them. We all have memories and they all have importance in our lives, the people we love, the days we've had and the happiness they brought us.



I wanted this weeks folksy friday to have a deeper meaning; a friday to jog peoples memories, get people to remember times they had forgotten and furthermore to make the people of folksy smile; we all have memories that make us smile & I hope my folksy friday has made you remember some of yours!

Great News

Sweet Talk has been busy today, I've been working on some hand cream orders which I am over the moon about and I made my first lip balm sale today, so yes the sales fairy has visited me a blessed me with some of her magical goodness. This post is pretty much filled with happiness and excitement.
Been happily making some vanilla hand creams and some coconut hand creams today and floating about the folksy forums. Is it bad it's become my addiction? Honestly? I don't think so.
We are stocking up on ingredients for our hand creams and lip balms and currently too many ideas for other products.
This is how focused I am at the moment,
Bath Salts,
Soaps,
Perfume Oils,
Solid Perfume,
Body/Dusting Powder,
Sugar Rush Lip Exfoliator,
When sales increase I'm gowing to expand my product range overwise I'll be hip deep in products for the rest of my life.
Friday is approaching which means my second folksy friday! I have no idea what my theme should be. I think I'll focus upon a certain type of craft like ceramic or jewellry making, is that allowed?
Anyway I just wanted to keep everyone upto date with my goings ons, what are you doing for folksy friday?

Hello everyone, thanks to everyone who has followed from folksy, it's a great feeling to be writing my posts and actually have people reading them, so please leave a comment it helps alot.

So our busy business buzz at the moment is about our products we are making, here they are:

Our strawberry fields and citrus kiss lip balms will be added by the end of the week (We've made ten so we won't be short of supply) with photos of the labels hopefully, so you'll see the product on folksy soon.

Our hand creams have sparked alot of interest on the folksy forums so I'll be making them up as soon as possible, getting the designs done to the highest quality and sourcing the lotion bottles so I can put them up on folksy. I have a feeling they will be very popular. They'll be 50 ml at a price of £5.50 as they are made with 100% natural ingredients.

There will be 3 aromas to begin with, Vanilla, Citrus Burst & Lavender so leave a comment if you want me to put one by for you. I will happily do so.

Our bath salts will be available by the end of may, they are made with 100% natural ingredients and they are aromatherapy bath salts. They come in 200g kilner jars and will be sold for £5.50 same as the hand creams.

There will be 6 aromas to begin with and 6 normal bath salt aromas will be added at a later date. The first 6 aromas will be called:

- Wake Me - 100% Natural Elixir Bath Salts

- Tease Me - 100% Natural Elixir Bath Salts

- Heal Me - 100% Natural Elixir Bath Salts

- Relax Me - 100% Natural Elixir Bath Salts

- Detox Me - 100% Natural Elixir Bath Salts

Rule Britannia - My First Folksy Friday!

This is my first ever folksy friday, it seems like a fun thing to do so I thought I'd participate. My theme for my folksy friday will be "Rule Britannia seeing as its saint George's day and the elections are coming up I thought it would be an appropriate theme to go with. I hope you enjoy my folksy friday and the lovely items the folksy crafters make.

Hope you like my folksy friday. I'm not sure whether I've done it correctly but these items I think are gorgeous and symbolize Britannia in it's simplest sense.

Followers, Lip Balms & Fairtrade

From our recent post you all know that we are newly in production of our lip balms and we are very excited. We currently have to send out samples to some great businesses and hopefully they will be the first stockists of our products. We have never been so excited, would we lie to you?

So with all this excitement we have also launched our twitter account and already have 117 followers so a personal thank you to whoever has followed our business we are very grateful. We never thought twitter would be such a perfect opportunity for new and start-up businesses but twitter has proved us wrong.

As you can imagine at Sweet Talk we are currently very busy at the moment what with working with a great designer Debbie Hulme. You can find her website here:

Here is their twitter account:

Currently we are working to getting our products fairtrade certified and am very excited at this opportunity to promote the use of fairtrade in the cosmetics business. For more news follow us on twitter and we'll let you know how are fairtrade venture is going.

New Products Nearly Ready

We've been working on our range of lip balms for a while now as they are nearly ready for all of our Sweet Talk goddesses. After countless searching for graphic designers we stumbled across an amazing designer who has worked so hard to get or image across. We now have gorgeous looking lip balms now along with 4 yummy flavors to begin with.

These flavors are:

- Strawberry fields: A sweet retro summery scent that's sure to spark some love into your tired beauty regime.

- Citrus kiss: A sour fresh scent that evokes images of tropical and exotic beauty. A flavor that will kiss your lips into better health.

- Pina colada: A soft and calm scent that teases your senses. This flavor will nurse your lips and get you ready to hit the beach with beautiful kissable lips.

- Blooming blueberry: Spring is here and blueberries are blooming. Had a stressful day in the city? This flavor will whisk you away to the country to give you and your lips the rest they need.

The best thing about our lip balms are that they contain no chemicals only 100% natural ingredients. We are currently trying to make our products vegan friendly as currently they contain beeswax (an animal derived ingredient) so expect a vegan friendly range soon. We are also trying to get our products containing fair trade ingredients also.

If you have any flavor ideas or would like to see a vegan range of products then leave a comment below and we'll work on a new range.

These lip balms retail at £2.50 and gift sets for certain flavors will be available soon.

Expect to see our lip balms soon. They're waiting for their Sweet Talk Goddesses to take them.
