Hello all. I said I would try and keep this updated so I am! :o)
I have finally re-opened. It has been a busy month trying to catch up and with all the schoolwork I have had etc. Here is current picture of my babies. Today we went and picked strawberries in the morning in Carlsbad. It was really fun. We always pick more than we can eat. I love spring in California!
Business News
We have new soaps! Between catching up on orders and everything else I have been busy making soap. Pictures are on the website. I must say my favorite is the Black Current and Red Raspberries. Wow, is this a great scent! :o) It is strong and edible smelling. Here is a picture of our newest soaps!
On June 15th we will discontinue many of our products for the summer months. This is for ease of processing the orders for me and to prevent many of our heavier products from melting in the summer heat. It is already getting warm in some parts of the country. Our summer hours will also take effect. I will work on Mon-Thurs only. I will close for brief periods to keep my processing time shorter as well. I will continue to offer new scents each month as usual. My new scents for May were:Cashmere, Apricot, Coconut & Vanilla, Sugared Lemon, Vanilla & Honey, Vanilla Rice Pudding, Honeyed Orange, Buttery Vanilla, Almond Coconut Type, Grapefruit & Sugar Cane, Milk, Oatmeal, Coconut Milk & Honey, Sugar Lavender & Coconut Milk and by special request: Coconut Peeps! Our designer duplicates this month are: Coach Type, Bright Crystal Type, Issey Miyake Summer Type & Sugar Type and for mid month: Waffles with Caramel and Whipped Cream, Blackberry Shake, Vanilla Coconut Custard, Peach Lemonade, Pineapple Lemonade, Vanilla & Coconuts in Tahiti, Raspberry Freeze & Vanilla Blueberry Cream. I am addicted to fragrances..what can I say? I will also to continue to offer designer duplicates as they become available. My new favorites are Rock N' Rose and Coach. Let me know if there is a fragrance you would like and I will see if I can get it. Also if there is a fragrance of mine you have to have in soap please let me know! :o)
Useless Information and Trivia
What I am reading: A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown, The Last Sunrise by Harold Gordon, If I Am Missing or Dead: A Sister's Story of Love, Murder, and Liberation by Janine Latus and the Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists, 4th edition...ugh...Don't ask! Required reading. :o)
What I want to read next or what is currently in my Amazon cart: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hoesani, author of the Kite Runner. Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil by Deborah Rodriguez and The End of the World as We Know It: Scenes from a Life by Robert Goolrick.
What I am using cosmetic wise: Some new finds! Mark Cameo Glo Blush is the best shade ever! I read some reviews in Makeup Alley and bought some. I also bought Mark eyshadow in Java. Great shade. Love both items. I want to get the new Avon Banana and Coconut Naturals as well. I love Dove Cream Oil Bodywash. Not crazy about the fragrances but they do a great job of moisturizing. I used Bumble and Bumble Curl Creme on my hair this morning and even in the mist near the beach no frizz! It is expensive but it is NOT greasy nor does it make your hair crunchy! From my own line I love the new Black Current and Raspberries..have been wearing this. Also I still wear Avon Naturals Vanilla almost every day. I wear People of the Labrynths duplicate as well. My husband says I smell like pipe tobacco when I wear it but he does like it. LOVE Sour Lemonhead Candies also...my kids go crazy for this! I also finally found Johnson & Johnson's Melt Away Stress Dreamy Night Lotion! I LOVE this fragrance. It is not the most moisturizing lotion but it is non-sticky. I think because you are supposed to put it on before bed. I highly recommend it for kids too. Those little buggers have a hard time settling down at night and they love this too.
Hope you have a good week!
Until next time!
Colleen :o)
