The Mint that Bit Back - Blooper Series 1

Some things are too funny not to share. And if you are like me, anytime someone tells me a story of sorts, my mind starts working and it creates these images in my head and sometimes I am the crazy one laughing by myself. So, with that in mind, for all of you creative minds out there, here is some food for laugh.. err... i meant thought. :P 

Entry 1 of the Haven Bliss Bloopers Series

There’s a moment in every maker’s journey when the peppermint oil leaps out of the bottle like it’s auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. This was one of those moments.

I had a vision: a cooling botanical blend that whispered “fresh” without screaming “toothpaste.” What I got instead? A batch so minty it could’ve doubled as a breath strip. My daughter took one sniff and said, “Mom… my nose is crying.” 😂

So we dialed it back. Rebalanced. Re-bottled. And laughed our way through the lesson: even grace trips sometimes. And that’s okay.

This series is for the spills, the giggles, the labels that refused to align, and the scents that staged a rebellion. Because behind every polished product is a trail of poetic chaos—and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
