VelvetLush™ Luxury Body Lotion by Four Seasons Fragrance

I wasn't going to blog about lotions tonight. It is funny that I title my blog before I write it. I don't want to talk lotion.

What I really want to say is this...

I poured a few CUCUMBER COOL tealights tonight. I only labeled and bagged five, but I poured six. So I took the extra one to my desk in a frosted glass votive cup-and lit it.

This is HUGE. I NEVER

ever

NEVER

never

NEVER EVER burn candles for the fun of it.

That may sound really funny. But I've done so much wick testing...I've always got some really lame candle flickering its' way into oblivion on the stove. But NEVER for ambiance or scent. Just business, never pleasure. Isn't that sad!?!? (Reminds me of FRENCH KISS when Kevin Kline says to Meg Ryan, "he makes the wine but never drinks it"...why is so much of life like a scene from a movie? Now that is from YOU'VE GOT MAIL where Meg Ryan says something like that to Greg Kinnear...anyways I'm getting off track...)

To my utter astonishment, that darn little tealight smells REALLY good! Can I say that!?!? I make kick-butt soy candles! Ya WHO !!!!!

I'm the type of person who is pessimistic and can never see the good parts of myself...so it is a step for me to tell myself I make nice candles!! Hey, I'm starting to believe my customers!! (I have a small fan club of two women who are responsible for me STILL being here...they don't know it, but at my lowest of low times (the times every business owner wants to cancel their website and disconnect their 800 number), it was they who placed an order and gave me a boost. I give them credit...they rave about my candles and claim they will die if I ever stop making SparklePuss Super-Scented Soy Candles! For tonight, I believe them for once!!!!! Thank you Ferry Girls!!!!!)

Well, that felt really good to appreciate myself, yay, me!!!

On another note, I'm considering documenting my weight loss journey in a blog. That would be some real accountability, huh? Like reality-blogging. Or maybe blogging is already like reality-tv...whatever. I'm going to bed.

More on lotions tomorrow!

Have a great weekend!!! Seventy in Seattle tomorrow, woo hoo!

Save a Tree

In a continuing effort to tread lightly on Planet Earth, we've made another executive decision...NO MORE PAPER RECEIPTS will be included with retail orders. Wholesale buyers will still receive a receipt with their packages.

Since we are exclusively online, everyone who orders gets a receipt after checkout...so why print a receipt and send it across the country?

Save a tree...use your computer to view your receipts! :)

Get on the RECYCLE WAGON...we are proud to announce that in two and a half years in business, we have NEVER purchased packing peanuts. WE RE-USE!

Monsoon Musk will debut next month...too much this month!

I'm happy to report that we have a new Sample Box Program Manager onboard (aka-my husband!) John will be organizing and doing sample fulfillment for us. This is a wonderful task that has been removed from my plate! Once a month he'll send out samples to our favorite sample box folks like Lemming Central, Little Black Boxes, Little Purple Boxes (eh?). If you haven't ordered a box before, they are SO MUCH FUN!!! You'll receive samples from all kinds of etailers...but you have to move really fast...they go QUICK!

On a personal/business owner note...I think I've really rounded a corner...I can tell my processes are improving and my turn around time has improved just this week. I don't have the heaviness that was crushing me...I've streamlined the brands, decided NOT to add any new scents until 2009 (except for August's launch of the holiday scents for SparklePuss). I can whip out a Healing Heel Stick in no time and feel fabulous about my "order register" which helps me track filling my orders.

So here's to spring, some great deals for you and filling lots of orders from my wonderful customers!
