Tarts
Good morning! I have great news! I have been talking with Diane from Soaps and Scrubs..well that is nothing new because we talk all the time but.... she wants to come out of "etailer retirement" and make some tarts for us! I am very excited. We have four possible fragrances to start with. One of them for sure will be Pink Buttercream Frosting. I would love your feedback if anyone is interested. This would be done on a small scale and all tarts will be premade in our exclusive dessert fragrances and ready to ship directly from Diane. I have already had some inquiries about this and would welcome more. You can contact me by email or respond right to this blog in the comment section. I am looking forward to this and so is Diane. She is great fun to work with and I am blessed to have her as a friend and colleague. :o) YAY DIANE!
Business News
The odor free alcohol is on its way! I got the DHL notice this morning. I will update with the exact date when it will arrive later on today. Roll-ons are now on sale. The Bargain Bin has been updated although the items are going fast. I will answer all emails today regarding the Bargain Bin and update the website accordingly. Thanks for your interest and orders!
I am starting to get really busy. It started slow on January 9th when I opened but now it is picking up speed. I will know more today if the turn around time will lengthen. I hope not. I decided sometime after Christmas (after I was unable to get many orders out in time for Christmas delivery) that I will now close to get caught up OR increase my turn around time right away. I get upset and worried and so do my customers and it is just not worth it. I do have an occasional helper which does help speed things up. The Whipped Shea Cream arrived right on schedule this morning. Thanks to those of you who waited for this item.
Till next time! :o)

Product Update
Product News
The Whipped Shea Cream will arrive on the 19th. This is great news! LOL.. I will update the website tomorrow so I can take orders on this item. At the same time I will put the roll-ons on sale. I am pricing these to clear. Get these while you can. It is a great inexpensive way to try some new fragrances that you may have been eyeing, plus they are portable..what could be better than that? :o)
Fragrance News
Available sometime after the 21st we will have BBW's Fresh Vanilla Type & Brown Sugar & Fig duplicates. I have not tried these yet but if they are good fragrances I will be putting them on the Dessert Menu. I was also looking at the BBW's Violet Bouquet. I am not sure about this one..if anyone has tried it and likes it I would love to hear your feedback. I welcome any and all comments! :o)
I also have MANY fragrances I never put on the website so if there is something you are wanting chances are good I already have but was too lazy to put in on the website (or too tired)...I have way too many fragrances...It is sickness...I know!
On a Lighter Note!
My son kicked his shoe off of his foot and it "somehow" landed on the school roof! Ummm... yeah...okaaayyy...He ran to me in a panic with tears in his eyes he was so upset..I had to laugh because he was standing there with only one shoe... and then he started laughing.. I had to get the janitor and get it down. That took considerable time..In the meantime..my son's kindergarten teacher, in honor of his lost shoe, had all the other kindergarteners (all 33 of them mind you) take off one shoe until my son's shoe was found. How great is she? :o)
How about those Golden Globes? I enjoyed all of it, except....What is up with Pamela Anderson? OY VEY! Ms. Anderson deserves a good slap for sure..Just my opinion!
Till next time! :o)

Thanks for reading!
Thanks to all who read what I wrote. It was fun to have people write their comments and email me what they thought. I love dumb trivia! Happy to share..
Anyone watching the Golden Globes tonight? I am and looking forward to it.
Business update:
No sign of the Whipped Shea Body Cream and of course there was no mail delivery today. I hate those no mail days because not only can I not mail out packages, I can receive any either! ;o( I will get on the horn tomorrow and see what the hold up is.
Have a great night and I will be fast at work tomorrow on orders after I drop my carpet crickets off at school. I made some great 1/4 samples to put in your boxes..I hope everyone likes them. I also bought some great Valentine's Day candy...You all know by now I am big on candy! I will use any excuse to buy some also. Email me if you should have any questions about your orders. I am also catching up on emails tonight so if you have written recently I am not ignoring you..just a bit behind on emails.
Till next time! :o)

Order Status & Today's Business
Business Information
I am currently at work at orders from the 9th and 10th. I am current and will be meeting or exceeding the current turn around time posted of 7 days to 2 weeks. It feels nice to be caught up for a change! The Whipped Shea cream is still on back order. I will post here when it arrives.
Products News & Information
We are getting a new perfumers alcohol with no odor. The current one we use has a slight odor that comes from a chemical called Bitrex..it makes the alcohol bitter tasting so children (and adults) don't drink it. I have found that you can smell this chemical in some of the fragrances as they dry down on your skin. Because my fragrances are sometimes delicate in nature, I would like you to be able to smell only the fragrance. I also add some glycerin to counteract the dryness the alcohol can cause. We are continually working to make our products better.
Some of you have inquired about products that have been discontinued. Many are due to low or slow sales. Since I have introduced a variety of perfume products, sales for the roll ons have taken a dramatic dive so I decided to cut them from the product line. Be looking for a sale on this item as I have at least 80 or so of the roll ons left.
Fragrance News
I am hard at work at some new fragrances for February. Coming soon! Hypnotic Poison Type as well as some others. I will probably release at least 4 new fragrances per month from now on but I may decide to do more depending on what I can think up! Sometimes I am real creative and sometimes...nothing!I am leaning more towards custom blends and designer duplicates in the future. I look at the same fragrance oil sites and it seems that many have the same old fragrances so I will continue to invent new ones to satisfy my creative nature as well as my customers! Creating and blending fragrances is the best part of being an etailer hands down! :o)
