Editor’s note: This Women’s Month, CommuniCart is putting the spotlight on women entrepreneurs and their business journeys. A project manager shares how she turned her passion into an endeavor that helps her earn extra money.
She’s the brains behind Boolah Soaps, an online shop that sells handcrafted soaps. Scroll through her store’s feed and you will find a range of soap bars with unconventional looks: from one that is designed to appear as an ocean wave to a sea shell-shaped bar and a soap with roses carved on its narrow surface.
“It’s fun to make your own soap. You can make your own recipes and configuration,” she shares. “It got me hooked.” Soriano runs her business alone and she does it in her free time, outside of her regular project management job hours. While she still considers making soap as a hobby, getting income from it has certainly made her think about the direction that she wants for Boolah.
