Good Morning, Arizona! Soap Making Demo

Tracy Perkins with her Strawberry Hedgehog soaps and body products on Good Morning Arizona TV ShowMy five minutes of fame have come and past and while I was super nervous I had a lot of fun. I had a short spot demonstrating a very abbreviated version of my soap making on Good Morning, Arizona today.

I made it through without falling over or saying anything awful and I am relieved it is over but I did have a good time. James (my husband) was so great at helping me set up and break down and he kept me from going crazy. I even sat on the same couch as John Edward and didn't get star struck. ;c) We got there around 7:15 after dropping by Jessie's, of Jessiebell Designs, place to pick up my amazing custom, organic cotton, hand screened, tea dyed apron she made for me from scratch! They let us set things up early so I could get my soap going. James and I couldn't figure out how to turn on the stove for ages but the super nice camera man eventually came over and helped us out.

The folks there were very nice and I really appreciate them having me on. The wait to get on felt like an eternity though it was only a little more than an hour and then my five minutes of fame felt like 30 seconds. I've received a lot of positive feedback and am really glad I did it and that they contacted me about doing so. I know there are a lot of people who are sensitive to conventional products or people who are just looking for something better for their bodies and the environment so I need all the help I can get putting the word out. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity.
