March 2nd Business News

Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a good day. I am! I am very excited about Anna and her tarts... how about you? Some of you have already emailed me and voiced your support. Thanks for the emails! Anna will begin selling her tarts on Saturday on a site that has yet to be determined. I will post a link her and send a link out in a quick newsletter as well as post it on my website. You will not be ordering the tarts through my site. Can you imagine? The last thing I want to do is increase my turn around time! Plus I don't know the first thing about making tarts. I just like to burn them! At some point I would like to send a poll out to see what fragrances you would like to see in tarts in the future. I think my newsletter has that feature so be looking for that.
Fragrance News
My new fragrance Vanilla Pineapple is really good...OK..it is really to die for! LOL..sorry but I just made it up the other night for a customer and I wanted to taste it. Fresh cut juicy yellow pineapple and creamy vanilla. The inspiration came from Comptoir Sud Pacifiques Vanille Pineapple. I got to sample this at Sephora and the dry down was fizz...kind of. Mine is more airy and has more vanilla, cream, no musk and no coconut!
Chocolate Divinity! What can I say?...a really great chocolate and that great Divinity fragrance you love. Come on, take a chance..it is really good..I know the chocolate scares people away..Ask Anna! She loves it! I sent her a wee sample when I sent her the Strawberry Puff Pastries oil to make tarts with. :o)
Future of The Body Dessert Shop
It looks like the direction I am going with The Body Dessert Shop in the future is exclusive dessert & bakery blends, some fruit blends and designer duplicates. Please let me know if there is something you would like to see designer duplicate wise. I would be happy to try and get it get it for you. It is the most fun for me and I might as well do what I enjoy. Also the plan for the summer months when my kids are home is to not close as many etailers do (and as I have done in the past) but stay open and have a limited product selection to choose from for quick shipping. Butters and heavier creams melt in the summer months anyway and it would be nice to not have to worry about that. I may take a vacation in July...my husband wants to go New York. I am hoping he will change his mind. It is so humid at that time but all our family is there (with the exception of my mother) so it looks like we may be going there. I will keep you updated.
As always I will continue to try and improve my turn around time. It is slow and I realize this. I also have many orders as well, sometimes steady, sometime overwhelming. My husband says to take out the recipes, the candy, the samples... I say NO WAY. This is what is fun for me about etailing...the extras! I love getting extras when I order from etailers. I think everyone does. When he sees how long I can take with an order, all obsessive compulsive like..I think he wants to just have me hurry along and be done with it already so I can spend time with him! LOL...My goal first and foremost is to improve my turnaround time.
Useless Information
Was looking briefly on the Sephora website last night and this caught my eye:

Peach skin, marshmallow? It sounds so good to me. I am always on the hunt for new fragrances, either to re-create or buy. Next time I am in Sephora I will be trying this and I will report back.

Until next time! :o)
