Happy Sunday & Business News

Hope you are all having a good weekend. It is raining here in California. Nice for a change but it is cold. I did get out and pop into a Sephora this weekend. I went to look for Ralph Lauren Turquoise but that store did not have it. I just wanted a sample before I invest.

The SA told me that maybe the Hollywood store would have it. Umm yeah...let me drop everything and schlepp my twins on down to the Hollywood store. :b
I do have a new love! It is called Vanilla Extreme by Comptoir Sud Pacifique. It is fantastic and a must have for vanilla lovers. It the best vanilla I have smelled in awhile. Link if interested: http://www.comptoirsudpacifique.us/vaextreme.html I did not buy it and I could kick myself now but I could not stop smelling my wrist all day. It is that good. I also got to sample CSP Vanilla Pineapple, which smells really good at first sniff but then dries down to sort of a fizzy pineapple and not as much vanilla. I tried Aloha Tiare as well and it smells like old lady perfume to me and I am an old lady... so go figure. :o) I got to sniff the new Philosophy Three in One Waffle Cone scent and it is drinkable. It is a definite purchase. It has a maple fragrance note to it and I smelled nothing artificial at all. It has no plastic after smell like a few of the philosophy Three in Ones can have. Here is a link if interested: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P135231&categoryId=3866 I also noticed Chocolovers by Aquolina was nowhere to be found. They had all their Pink Sugar stuff out but no sign of the new one. Glad I ordered and got mine early.

Thanks to all the people that read my Valentine's Day blog and to those of you that responded to me privately and on the Blog. It was fun taking a trip down memory lane. My husband loved it. He was really touched and surprised. At first he was nervous that I put something up publicly for all to read. I think at first he thought I posted nudy photos of him or something! It was so funny how he reacted. What could be better than a public declaration of my love for him? :o)

Business News
I am now working on orders from the 24th thru the 31st today. There were many orders during this time period. If you have any questions about your order and where it stands please email me. Orders that have the Whipped Cream in them will be set aside until I hear from you with regard to replacement products or refunds. Please contact me at thebodydessertshop@cox.net. The cream will be ordered tomorrow. The manufacturer had not yet made a new batch at the beginning of the week when I called, so it will be ordered on Monday. There is also no mail delivery on Monday as well. THAT stinks! I have some new fragrances arriving on Thursday. I cannot wait. I want to tell you what they are but I am thinking maybe I will keep it a secret. They are designer duplicates. I am working on some new blends for March as well. Spring time blends are difficult for me because in spring I think of fruity blends instead of dessert blends but I will see what I can come up with for all you die hards. I am proud to say I had my first Ebay sales this week. Two perfumes sold and I am tickled as can be. I will be stocking my Ebay store with other products in the coming weeks. I like the ease of Ebay and the premade products ready to be shipped. I wish I could premake all of my products ahead of time so my turn around time could improve but I never know what people will order. It is always a surprise to me what scents sell the most. That is what is most fun about this business, that and all the fragrance oils I get to buy...LOL. I will have a few announcements in my newsletter and in my Blog coming in March about tarts and new fragrances.

Testers
I am working on getting your test products to you. If you have an outstanding order it will go in the box. If not, I will put in a small envelope and send it first class sometime this week or the beginning of the next week. I do want to thank all those that requested to be testers. If I missed you or your email it was because I had so many requests and I could not get back to everyone and for that I apologize.

I am also hoping that after this week I can drop my turn around time back down to 2 weeks. We will see. Until next time! :o)
