Hello everyone! The rain has finally stopped here in California. Everywhere the flowers are in bloom and the air is fresh and clean. We are getting ready for spring weather.
Above is a picture of my kids (in the center) at their 6th birthday party. What fun we had! They just blew out the candles and really want to eat that cake but are posing patiently for the picture instead! :)
I cleaned out my shop this weekend to make room for all the spring fragrances as well as my new Luxe Dessert Collection! You are going to love the new blends. Think of a French bakery filled with desserts, rich & buttery, the sweetest caramel, heavy whipped cream, rich chocolate and you get the idea! You can try them all without gaining an ounce. Coming soon!
I finally got the fragrance descriptions for April on the website. Check them out when you have a chance. The Pure Turquoise type by Ralph Lauren is beautiful if I do say so myself! We also have two new exclusive blends this month: Coconut divinity and Sweet Vanilla Puff Pastries. These are sure to make your mouth water!
My eBay store will be updated by tomorrow. I gotten quite a few emails asking for me to restock so I will. I have been swamped so I have not had a chance to update the blog or anything until today.
Shipping & Order Updates
We are still working on orders from the middle of March. "sigh". There were many orders during this time period. I wonder why? Oh, that's right.... I had a clearance sale. ;o) Thanks for your patience.
Useless Information
Anyone try the Toute Sweet from mark Avon? Here is a link: http://shop.avon.com/avonshop/default.asp?line_id=142&department=fastfind&src_page=random_product_list.asp
You know I was curious. I am going to order a bunch from Avon. Some of the product reviews from Makeup Alley were very favorable.
I got this from my best friend the other day. It is from Andy Rooney. For all of you over 40 this is for you!
Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.
A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it. Love this one! :)
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women.
Women over 40 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They always know.
A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. LOL!!!
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free," here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.
I loved this and thought it was hilarious. Thought I would share this with all my buds who are near 40, over 40 and way over 4o. LOL :)
Trivia:
Don't you hate it when?
Your kids say they are not picking their noses but you saw them doing it just a minute ago and now you wonder here they have put it?
You dog comes flying into the house, via the dog door, with a rat as big as he is, in his mouth and IT IS STILL ALIVE? Don't ask.
You have spilled an entire bottle of fragrance oil on the floor (and it wasn't even one you liked and now your whole house, clothes and towels you used to mop it up with is going to smell like Gag Champa for weeks) and it was all you had and you have at least 4 orders that need it and now you either have to call the fragrance oil company (all frantic and desperate) and hope they can speed ship you a bottle of $10.00 fragrance oil for the price of $50.00 or you can bum some from your etailer buddies! A big thanks to all my buds who helped me out in a pinch. P.S. I just used Nag Champa as an example. I will not carry it so don't ask!!! LOL.. :)
You eat so much chocolate you make your self sick only to do the same thing all over again the next day? Oh the horror. Note to self...stop eating chocolate, NOW!
You buy your kids what you think is the greatest birthday present in the world and then you find them stuck in the back of your darkest closet (clubhouse) playing with the box? This interesting phenomenon does not change when they turn 6.
You have something to return and it was costly so you really need to take it back to the store but you cannot find the receipt no matter where you look but you have all the receipts for everything you have EVER purchased for the last 1o years? WHAT is this? Maybe it is just me.
Hope you enjoyed my little blog. Gotta get back to work!
Until next time. :o)
