Quick Update

DB here,

I will be taking the next few days off to catch up on some much needed rest. I am literally running on fumes over here, lol. I have made some great progress on orders and am excited that we are nearly caught up finally! I will continue to process orders, but until this weekend, I'll just have to take it easy. My back is bothering me a bit from standing and working so much and I forget that I am still in recovery mode from this past summers surgery (I was told a year and it's been 5 months and so far so good). I think a visit with my acupuncturist and a long overdue massage are in order.

Lori will be available via convo or email. The shop and websites will remain open.

Thank you so much for your continued patience!

Good Morning!

Good morning!

My name is Lori, many of you I have had the pleasure to converse with while others I am still catching up on.

I have been helping DB with convos at etsy, emails and shipping labels and tracking. Pretty much anything that involves sitting in front of the computer while she is off producing and packing everyones orders.

I am fairly new to this but DB has been very kind to show me the ropes. 

In the past month DB's computer crashed and she lost all her labels. She has been working on getting that done on a brand new computer so you may notice that some of the lip balm, handmade soaps, perfumes and perfume petite sample labels look a little different. She completely lost all of those so she had to redesign them sadly. That took quite a bit of time for her. Luckily all lotion, whipped soap and scrub labels were designed by her designer and she was able to retrieve those as those were backed up. Its just been one thing after another, but DB is a real trooper and keeps going strong. I'm quite amazed at how she continues like she does with 4 kids.

Also, a lot of the Christmas items have been added. The 2nd collection will be up on November 19th, so stay tuned for that. During that time the website will be updated with all new stock as well.

And....I shouldn't really tell, but I know that DB has something special planned for Thanksgiving weekend. So exciting!

Time to get back to work!

Have a very lovely day everyone!

Lori

Quick Update

Please excuse my *absence*. I have been working on getting the orders caught up but they began to really come in so I had to step away from the computer and get to processing orders.

I have also put the etsy shop in vacation mode to allow me to finish getting caught up. Trust me, I want you to get your products just as much as you look forward to getting them. ;-). I am trying to figure out how I can do the same with the website.

But, I will reopen both on Friday. This should give me ample time to finish every last order AND replenish inventory with the annual products as well as adding the Christmas line.

In the past I have not been quite this busy and so I am trying to manage my time the best way I can. A friend of mine volunteered to handle emails and convos for me. At the moment I am having her handle all the emails. I am trying to see if it's possible to add her to my account under my team with etsy's new rules that were implemented this past year. But this helps me tremendously as I get literally, 30-50 emails/convos a day inquiring about scents, shipping, custom orders and the such.

Don't freak out if all of a sudden you see the name Lori instead of DB. ;-)

I love conversing with my customers or anyone for that matter that drops me a line, but the amount of time I spend in front of the computer and the fact that I have 3 school age children with 3 different school times is very laborious. I hate to disappoint, so I have worked it out with Lori to help me. You can contact her at debaucherousbath[@]gmail.com. (minus the square brackets)

I am also adding a bonus gift to each order for all your patience. I know how hard it is to wait for something you paid for with your hard earned money. 

I am ever so grateful for your patience and understanding.


I hope you all have a fabulous week!

A Little About Me and Current Updates

Just a quick update, turn around time is still at 10-14 "business" days, but will be back to 3-4 by Friday, October 3rd.

I thought I'd take this time to share a little about me besides the usual.

I also just want to thank everyone for their continued patience, especially during this time of year when things really start to pick up. I am a one woman business with 4 kids in which 3 are in 3 different schools, at 3 different times due to their ages. So my schedule is very crazy during the week. At the same time, we are the only ones here without any other family to help out. My oldest is a full time college student in her 3rd year of obtaining her BA in film and works full time so the days of getting her help are long gone. My husband travels from time to time for work, but tries to help whenever he can.

When I started Debaucherous Bath I never thought it would get as big as it has gotten (and I am very blessed and thankful it has). It actually was not my intention to really grow this much and I started it as just a hobby and something to do with my spare time (yes even with 3 kids at the time, I actually had spare time, lol). To share my twisted ways in a sense (no pun intended). I was pregnant with my youngest and on bed rest the entire 9 months (having already suffered 4 miscarriages in the past). Bored out of my mind I created Debaucherous Bath. Although I was already in the industry for a decade by then, I had been on a long hiatus and was spending my time with my family and going to school full time to obtain my bachelors (up until my pregnancy).

Then a couple years ago, we had the unfortunate event of losing loved ones. I had to take a much needed break and just step away. A year later (and ago) I came back and have been at it since. While I have no intentions of going anywhere, I must say that being a 1 woman business, with a very busy schedule can be quite stressful at times.I try to do my best and know that at times I drop the ball, but I always pick it back up and keep going.

So, to keep things running as smoothly as possible, beginning October 1st, I will no longer be able to accept custom listings on etsy during the busy holiday season. I will continue to refund shipping overages as I always have. I will process shipping overages within  24 hours of your order being placed.

Also, beginning Monday October 6th, after I am completely caught up, I am taking a much needed week off from processing orders. I will resume processing orders on Monday October 13th for all orders received after 6th. I will still be available via email and convo and the shop and website will remain open. I will also be using this time to replenish stock and finish listing all the fall items on both etsy and the website. I just will not be processing orders during this week though. Everything will be listed, including all available samples.

Also, on October 13th, I will begin to launch the Christmas line. So this week off is very important and making sure everything is ready to go and keep TAT down as much as possible.

In the meantime, I am working here with the help of my bff whom I just adore. She comes over on the weekends all the way from Orange County to help process orders with me. Thank you L!

I am also working my way through convos and emails, so please bare with me. I am the kind of person that likes to take my time when answering and not rush through giving you crummy customer service. 

Again, thank you so much for all your patience. 

Have a fabulous week!

DB

September Update


Just a little update here. I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather. The days are not quite cool here yet, but the nights have gotten chilly and I love it.

Last week I became quite ill with a stomach bug and then my children. My husband was the only lucky duck around here, lol. I am still feeling the effects and moving a bit slowly around here so my turn around time at the moment is running around 10-14 days. My apologies for the delay. Being a stay at home mom you never seem to get enough rest. 

I have help coming again today so I will be able to catch up, which will be a tremendous help as I am a 1 woman business ;-). After all orders have been caught up, I will be taking a short break. The shop will remain open, but the TAT will be changed to reflect 1-2 weeks. I plan to take 7-10 days off to relax and feel better, I need to get my energy back and feel like myself again. For some reason, this bug really got me and it's been quite some time I have ever been that sick. 

I will be taking time out tonight to answer convos and emails again. 

I thank you for your patience and hope you all have a fabulous week!
