Slow & Steady

Things have been slow on the ordering front but that's okay. :) You gotta spend money on school supplies and stuff right now. :)

When not filling out orders or working at my day job I am outside tending to the koi pond to bring it back to it's beautiful state. :)

I am going to be doing a sleep study tonight so I will not be able to answer any emails or pms until tomorrow, but I'm going to leave the shop open since I will only be gone for a night.

I'll just do some knitting while I'm there. :)

Also, the new perfumes that are up in the shop have some wonderful lasting power. The longer they cure the longer the scent seems to last on me. :) I am really loving this perfume.

Over and out!

Dirty Perfumes!

The perfumes are finally up! I put them up last night and I even tried some in Pomegranate Lemonade. Man! I love it. I like to spray perfume on my clothes because it will last longer and I woke up today smelling of Pomegranate Lemonade as well. So, I'm really glad it has great staying power. I have noticed that perfume smells stronger and better then yesterday so the longer you let it cure the better the perfume will be. :)

Product Month

The perfume base is supposed to arrive today and as soon as it arrives and I inspect it to make sure it's alright I'll put the alcohol based perfumes up for sale. As soon as I get the salt for the salt scrubs they will be up too. I don't know how long it will take to get them up on the site. I haven't purchased the dry oil spray and I may hold off on that until the end of this month or beginning of next month. The bath salts will appear once I get the ingredients I need and test it out. :)

I will also be changing up my labels a bit because I'm tired of the current ones. When I start to grow even more I will get professional labels that fit the personality of the store. :) Naughty. :)

Product Month!!

I call this month product month and what products will be released during this month? Well, my goal is to release the dry oil perfume and alcohol perfume! Alcohol perfume will be released this coming week. As soon as my artisans alcohol comes in it will be ready and up. :)

Hopefully if sales are good the dry oil perfume will be up. :)

What will be up after my perfumes? Well, my salt scrub made of butters and oil. It will be called 3-some Salt scrub. It has Mango and refined shea butter along with Grade A Olive Oil. :) It will not be as scrubby as my sugar scrub because the salts will be fine but it will be nice and it does feel nice. I am a person that loves scrubby scrubs but this one did feel nice and scrubby enough. Dead sea salt and dendritic salts are what I will be using for this scrub. :)


Ingredients: Salt, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Olive Oil, fragrance


After I release the 3-some salt scrub I will then release a sprayable lotion, regular lotion and body creme. These will not be handmade by me because I have found some great bases that use high quality oils/butters and other quality ingredients. You guys know that I wouldn't just pick a popular base and sell it. It has to be something that I would make myself and I am EXTREMELY picky about bases. I have to feel that they are the best. More details about this when it's closer to the release date.

Once these are up I will start buying a few fallish/winter scents to add to my scent collection. :)

That's all for now. :)

Happy August!!

This month I have a goal of releasing two new products. A dry oil perfume spray and an alcohol based perfume spray. As long as orders come in at a good pace I should have these by the end of the month or next month. Since it's almost back to school time I figure things will be slow while people are using all their money for books, clothes and other things. So far I have the perfume sprayers but no base.

The dry-oil perfume will just be cyclopentasiloxane aka cyclomethicone. This is the base for dry-oil perfume. By itself it doesn't feel all that moisturizing although it does leave a silky after using it. This is why many companies add other oils to make the dry-oil even more moisturizing. I won't be doing that though. I just want this base to be something that is best used for scenting the body and rooms. Yup, it can be a room spray but I would try to make sure not to spray around things that you don't want to get stained. Things like silk can show spots if you spray this on it. The perfumes will be scented between 30-50% fragrance oils. This make sure the scent stays on you longer and a little will go a long way.

Information on new products:

2.5 fl. oz Silky dry-oil perfume ($10)- cyclopentasiloxane, fragrance oil

1 fl. oz. Dirty Perfume ($10) - SD40B Alcohol 200 proof, hexylene glycol, fragrance


Also, I will be adding this information to my shop listings but I just want to say that the majority of my products are sold by volume and not weight. There are only two products sold by weight which are soaps and foamy milky bath. Everything else is sold by volume so if the container says it holds 4oz that's what I put down. It will always be more in weight but I'm not worried about weight. :)

That's all for now. :)
