Getting through

Just an update that I am getting through convos and emails today.

Also it appears that although I have enlisted some additional help, a couple orders have been processed incorrectly so I am working on fixing those as well. If you have a problem with your order, please email me at debaucherousbath [at!] g mail dot com (no spaces, marks, etc). It's easier for me to go through emails than convos as convos get shifted in a weird way, if I haven't already contacted you via etsy convo yet.

Thank you for your pa tience!

Latest Update

A new update since I haven't been able to update as of late. I am still working on orders in the 2-3 day time frame. I thank you for your patience. I also thank you for your warm wishes and prayers. Trying to make life normal again. Things have been very difficult as of late but we are managing. I have realized that I cannot put my life on hold, well, we have realized we cannot put our lives on hold. So we are managing here. That is the best way I can describe it really.


I have been doing some thinking. My daughter is graduating in just a few short weeks, which gives me even more help here with Debaucherous Bath. I am going to slowly transition all items over to the website and slowly move away from the etsy shop. Etsy fees are becoming quite a bit with the added fees of Paypal and with a flat monthly fee from my hosting company, it makes more sense to just have all my products in one place. So by the end of summer all items will be at my website only. So you will start to see more items being offered on the website than the etsy shop in the near future.


At the end of this month I will be taking down the Twisted Fairytale and Dark Woods collections. They will not be available again until next year and will not be available in the overstock sale. I will be having one last overstock sale until after the holidays (Christmas, etc) for the Loved to Death Valentine collection items I have left remaining near the end of this month. Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood will be making a permanent mark with Debaucherous Bath and will be available year long.


I *may* bring some scents back as Limited Edition items around the holiday time for gift giving or to stock up on your favorites. I haven't decided yet. It will really depend on how much help I have at that time as I do not want to bring down my TAT like it has been in the past. When I started this business it started as a passion, a hobby, something to occupy my time with and to share my creative side with. I really had no clue how much it would grow and in such a short amount of time. So when the holidays came last year, I was really unprepared compared to the prior year. Not to mention with the sad and unforeseen incidents in my family this year. Plus my daughter will be in college, so by the time the holidays come, I will not have her help anymore. I am trying to plan ahead and be prepared based off of prior and recent experiences. 


Next week sometime I will begin to restock the etsy shop. I will also add the 2 new perfumes I mentioned before, Candyman and Dollface Bettie. Next month sometime I will introduce my summer collections. I have 3 I am bringing out with a 4th I am debating on. I may bring that one out later in the summer.


I also have some new handmade cold process soaps coming out in scents not available in any other product.


I'll be working on some convos and orders tonight.


Thank you again for your patience. It means a lot to me.

Latest Update

I wanted to give an update as to what is going on over here.

I am working pretty quickly on processing orders, yay. Just not as quickly on the convos or emails though as I would like to. 

I have 2 terminally ill family members. 1 is extremely ill with cancer and he is getting worse. We go back and forth, as he doesn't live close by and this becomes quite time consuming, but also heart wrenching. It's very difficult to watch your loved one deal with cancer. My kids are experiencing it too and they do not quite understand.  It's not easy to explain.

Anyhow, I apologize for not being able to get back to you as soon as I would like to. Many of you have been sending over some very warm wishes and I thank you for that. I miss some of the regular convos/emails I have with some of you.

Hopefully I'll be caught up on convos by the end of the week.

Thank you so much for your patience.

Quick Update

Still working my way through some convos and emails so if I haven't gotten back to you yet, please don't worry, I'm working on getting back to you asap.

Orders are still going out in 2-3 business days as well.

Thank you so much for your patience!

Just a quick update that I will be opening my etsy shop tomorrow evening. I'm just getting caught up on some things before I reopen. I had to extend my vacation time for time with my family. As you may recall, I have 2 terminally ill family members that I am trying to come to terms with. One has cancer and the other a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder that was recently told she is in a rapid decline. It is a very difficult time for myself and my family.

I thank you for your patience!

Shipping, Convos

All orders are nearly complete, I'll be done by this evening.

If I've missed your convo, please forgive me. From time to time, I'll read a convo, step away because one of my kids has called upon me or my husband and come back and completely forget what I was doing. I blame this on my migraine med, topamax. No kidding. Sometimes it takes me a bit of time to figure out what I was doing. Or a reminder from you!

If you have an inquiry about your order, email me, I'll be online until tonight, debaucherousbath [@!] gmail dot com. After tonight, I will be unavailable as I will be out of town with family for the holiday. I'll be adding tracking as well this evening for all orders.

I'm also going to post my holiday/vacation schedule finally for the remainder of the year tonight.

Thank you for your patience, as always it is greatly appreciated!!

Have a wonderful Easter.
