Opening again and new ideas!!

I will be reopening Sunday with new soaps and I'm so excited too! The vacation has been wonderful and I'm sad to see it end but even while on vacation I have came up with a new product idea. Right now I am suffering from a lot of joint pain and muscle pain and I am going to see a Specialist about my paid to figure out what's going on with me. I'm only 24 so I should not be in so much pain on a daily basis. Well, Mr. Brat and I went to a bath store and got some bath salts. I'm not a person that really likes them because it's just salt and I never really understood what was the purpose of a salt bath but this bath salt had other ingredients that made it wonderful. I laid in the tub and just soaked and my whole body felt much better! The stuff I bough was really expensive so I can't afford this stuff all the time, so I thought about making some of my own and for Brat's Creations! I will use oils, various bath salts and a few other things to make a nice moisturizing bath salt. Of course this won't be released for quite a while because I'm working on releasing my perfumes. I want to release a dry oil perfume and alcohol based perfume ASAP. Then I will release a body butter and spray on lotion.

I have so much that I want to add to Brat's Creations and I'm really excited too. It will take a while to add everything, but I'm hoping it will happen. :)

Violets, Mummies & Lilies oh my!

Well a few scents that many have you been waiting for have finally arrived!

New Scents:
Ancient Egypt
Buttercream Frosting
Cherry Merigenue
Polynesian Plumeria
Sugar Cookie
Water Lily
Violet

Everything smells wonderful, but my favorite has got to be Ancient Egypt. It's unisex and all around wonderful. It's complex, mysterious and reminds me of Egypt.

I also added a lot of customer scent combos. I didn't realize that I have made so many combos since I last updated the list. :)

Awesome Scent Month

I must go on vacation a lot more often. The orders are coming on very fast. :) This has really allowed me to buy more scents for scent month. :)

Here is the final list of scents that will arrive this week. :)
Amazon Tigerlily
Buttercream Frosting
Cherry Meringue
Plumeria
Puakenikeni
Queen of D’Nile - notes of warm amber, frankincense and myrrh with hints of patchouli and musk enhanced with notes of vanilla.
Rainkissed Leaves B&BW Type
Strawberry (will be replacing Wild Strawberry upon arrival. This is a stronger better strawberry scent.)
Sugar Cookie
Water Lily
Violet

After I receive these scents I will work on next month which I will call Product Month. I want to release my dry oil perfume as well as my alcohol-based perfume that month. I'll also try and release a body buttah. So all money that comes in will go to releasing new products for a month or two.

I have also decided to carry a haircare and facial care line. This will hopefully happen sometime before December. :) I have my testers already and they will be tested before being released. More news and information will come in later months. :)

More Scents Coming & Good News!

Thanks to all the lovely orders coming in I have been able to order 1/3 of the scent I have been wanting. :)

Coming next week:
Buttercream Frosting
Cherry Meringue
Plumeria
Queen of D’Nile
Sugar Cookie
Water Lily
Violet

I promised myself more floral and foody scents. The Queen of D'Nile is a more deeper richer note and is actually part of my fall scent collection that I am letting everyone try because I know you guys will love it. :)

Also, I know there has been a lot of talk and concern about the use of Palm Oil. There are two sides to ever story, but there is also an alternative to buying Palm Oil from the places that may hurt the rainforest. There is a such thing called sustainable Palm Oil that you can buy. It's the exact same type of Palm Oil only the Palm Oil plantations do not damage the rainforest. I am going to be using Palm Oil from the USA which is considered sustainable and good for the environment. This means I can have my cake and eat it too. :) I only have a little bit of palm oil left so as soon as I run out I will be switching over. :)

Happy July

Things are going fairly steady and the custom blend limeade goes great with ALL the fruity scents that I have. It could possibly go great with foody scents. Speaking of foody scents I would like to know what my foody customers want. I can easily pick out candy scents, but when it comes to foody scents I have no idea. They all smell the same to me so I need some great ideas on what foody stuff I should add. The Fall/Winter fragrance will slowly be collected and put up. A few hints at what scents I plan on getting are more spicy and earthy. :)

I just want to say that if anyone ever has any questions about if a scent blend would go good together or if they are having trouble picking out scents, I am more than happy to help you. I love talking about scents and recommendations for all my customers. :)

I know some people may be unaware of what menthol crystals are. Here is a general idea. Have you ever chewed gum that made your mouth feel cold? What about that icy hot that you use and you get this insane instant cooling? Well that's what menthol is. It provides a chilling effect on the body. You feel a sudden blast of cold on the area you put it on and you also smell minty. It's great for those hot days. Menthol can cause irritation so don't spray it near your nose, eyes or sensitive body parts. What a heating scrub base does to your skin a menthol scrub does as well only instead of heat you get the chills. If you ever get some foamy milky bath with menthol in it it will make your bath water cold. It's totally cool and weird. I have no idea how it does it though.

Yay! Scents are up!

The new scents have arrived and everything smells wonderful! I made cherry limeade and it was delicious! I want to go to Sonic now and get myself a drinkie. :) The menthol crystals are strong and I put them in soybean oil to act as a carrier so it will stay liquid. :)

That's all for now!

More Scents for Scent Month

I need to increase my fragrance oil list badly and I plan on buying more oils. This time it will be mostly floral and foody ones with a few fresh ones. I am also looking at some fall/winter scents but considering TAT is so fast those won't be out for a few months, so I'm keeping those under lock and key. Also, considering I am going to be taking a break from school for the fall semester I can now work on the product projects that I have on my to-do list. This month will be dedicated to buying scents and next month will be dedicated to buying ingredients for products I have in mind. :)


Scents to get this month:
Amazon Tigerlily
Asiatic Lily and Cantaloupe
Bluebonnet Vanilla Ice Cream
Buttercream Frosting
Cactus Flower Honey
Cannellini Ricci
Cherry Meringue Bites
Cucumber Lettuce
Lilac
Peppermint EO
Polynesian Plumeria
Puakenikeni
Rain Kissed Leaves
Sugar Cookie
Summer Puddin'
Tahatian Tiara Flower
Violets
Water Lilies




Cross your fingers, toes and paws that I get all of them this month. That would really be awesome!!

New Scents are Coming

Yay! New scents are on the way and will be here next week. I forgot to order the Peppermint EO and so in a few weeks I'll order that. The Menthol Crystals are basically peppermint oil in solid form, but it's easier to just have the EO as well.

I know people have been wanting new scents to blend and mix for so many fun new scents. Now, you can make Limeaid and other things with the new scents coming in! I'm so excited too because I love to blend things and when customers come up with new blends it's always fun to create them.

Also, I need to get my butt in gear and make sure all your favorite scents in soap form stay in stock so you won't have to wait every two months for me to put some more up for sale. My goal is to try and keep a steady supply of the favorites and best sellers.
