Diary Entry August 12 2025

Dear Diary,
Day 2 back at work and I’m almost adjusted to indoor life again. Almost.
I showed up at the studio with a plan:
Be productive, make soap, avoid glitter-related accidents.
Here’s how that went:
🧼 Started a batch of Cashmere Chaos soap. Halfway through, I added cedarwood EO “for nostalgia.” Now it smells like a lumberjack hugged a bakery.
🐿️ Steve the squirrel didn’t follow me home, but I still found an acorn in my curing rack. I’m choosing not to investigate.
📦 Packed orders but accidentally put a bar of Mooned at Midnight in the wrong box. Whoever gets it will either be thrilled or confused.
☕ Tried to drink coffee while labeling balm tins. Ended up with beard balm on my mug and coffee in my balm. New scent: “Caffeine & Chaos.”
🎨 Got distracted and sketched a raccoon on a shipping label. Considered making it my new logo.
By the end of the day, I realized I may have left the woods… but the woods have not left me.
Slightly tamer, still scented,
Melinda 🐒💜
