New Sugar Scrubs on Etsy

Two new sugar scrubs are now available in my Etsy Shop:

Relax Sugar Scrub
Enjoy a little escape from the day with our new Relax Sugar Scrub. Aromatheraputic lavender & lemongrass essential oils work to calm your mind, while avocado, sweet almond, and grapeseed oils work to moisturize and heal all skin types. Carefully selected raw Turbinado sugar has alpha-hydroxy and humectant properties to rejuvenate cells and actually draw moisture to the skin. Dried lavender flowers are added to enhance the scent while acting as a gentle yet luxurious exfoliant. A perfectly sized wooden scoop is included. This scrub will leave your skin smooth and glowing!

Date Night Sugar Scrub
Whether you're getting ready for a big night out, or just staying at home with your hunny, our new Date Night Sugar Scrub will get you in the mood with sensual ylang ylang, bergamot, and other enticing essential oils. (Secret ingredient: Ginger root essential oil, just a tad... it's an aphrodisiac!) Avocado, sweet almond, and grapeseed oils help to moisturize and heal all skin types. Carefully selected raw Turbinado sugar has alpha-hydroxy and humectant properties to rejuvenate cells and actually draw moisture to the skin. A perfectly sized wooden scoop is included. This scrub will leave your skin smooth, glowing, and ready for romance.

International Shipping now available!

Starting today, I am truly excited to offer international shipping in my Etsy Shop,  Please keep in mind that there are some countries that restrict the import of bath and body type items (beauty products, toiletries, cosmetics).  Mexico, Norway, and Italy are an example of some.  You can verify if you country allows such items to be imported here: http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immctry.htm

My Banner Arrives

I ordered a large 6 x 2' banner to hang up at the back of my tent while vending. I used Vistaprint, and was happy that I could customize it. They give you a template to use on various photo editing software (I used Photoshop). After some add-ons (thicker vinyl for outdoor use, etc.) the total with shipping was about $41. As was advertised, it took exactly 2 weeks to arrive. I'm pretty happy with it, except that it doesn't come with grommets already installed. I had looked all over Vistaprint to find out if it did or not. Though you can order plastic attachments for an added fee that eliminate the need for grommets, I figured if it didn't come with them I could easily add them. I'll stop by Michael's later to pick some up; I think the ones I have in my sewing bin are way too small. This was the image I submitted. The actual banner came out with the background color being a pale, muted pastel green, but I actually like it better!

Body Whip ~ It's here!

I've finally perfected my recipe for whipped body butter, or as I like to call it, Body Whip. It will be in my Etsy shop when the weather cools down (for shipping reasons), but will make its debut at the Lansdowne Farmers Market on 7/14.
