What is your shop?
Pegasus Handmade Soaps (http://pegasussoaps.etsy.com)

What is your art/craft?
I make homemade bath and body products from scratch along with my signature specialty soaps made using the cold process method of making homemade soap

Describe your style in 2 words:
Fun and creative

What is your favorite piece and why?
My specialty is my homemade soaps. I started my small business making soap and only soap and I slowly branched into other products. I love making my own soaps from scratch because it gives me piece of mind to know exactly what goes into my soaps without the chemicals. I control how it is made.

What is the most memorable piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I was ever giving before I started was to love what you do, put your heart and soul into it and it will show in the end result. And I really do love making my own bath and body products.

What is the one piece of advice you’d give?
The same advice that was given to me. Have passion and love for what you make and it WILL pay off in the end
