NEW products for you!

We are working up a storm to get our new products out to the public.
Our bath bombs made it to the store last week.
Already sold a couple on Etsy and hear is what one of our fabulous customers PrimitiveJunkie over here http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5904671 had to say about the BATH BOMBS!!!
QUOTE:
I highly recommend the bath bomb for anyone with any type of dry skin problem, my skin has never been softer after a bath. I can't say enough good things. I will be passing your card out to my girlfriends for sure.


We just finished lip balms this week and working on labels for them.
If you have a lip balm fetish you will want to try these. We are hoping to have them on the shelf by the end of the week.
We're going to carry 5 flavors to start with.

Banana Blast
Fudgesicle
Mega Melon
Strawberry Splash
Wildberry Burst
Unscented
What more can I say, YUM YUM!!!

Hope to see you all soon! I need to head back to my second home and plug away at more new items like the SUGAR SCRUBS that we will be listing on Etsy soon.

Products

Wanted to share a few products we are carrying right now.
No better time to finish off the summer heat with our dry oil body spray.
Enjoy the soft, silky feel of our sprays.

Great Day! I TOOK OFF!

I finally finished my new workspace for creating candles/bath and body products.
I am so excited to finally get an area that I can organize and not shuffle from closets and counters in different rooms to find things. It's a thrill to play now.

Off topic of playing, but I received a really nice gift from a friend today. I received a hanging butterfly that represents my friendship with her and also a Willow Doll. They are both so pretty and its really nice to know someone appreciates the little things you do.


Thats was my day today.

LIFE IS GRAND!!!

I am on day two of my blog and working on new products this weekend. Cold Processed soaps are going to be ready in the near future and I can't wait. Just the thought of creating hand made products to use is the greatest feeling in the world.

I hope many of you try our new soaps out when they are available.

Candles will be on the etsy site soon. I've been tinkering with new labels before I start out the fall season so check out the site to see what I have and whats coming soon.
