:(

I am beyond heart broken. Words cannot describe my feelings at this moment for the loss of my cat. He passed away today at a few weeks shy of turning 17. He always followed me everywhere, talking to me, keeping me warm. My best friend. I am so sad.

TAT

Good evening!

A few updates, if you received a shipping notice today, our lovely mail carrier (and not our regular one) arrived earlier than scheduled so a majority of the packages missed todays cutoff. But they will be leaving tomorrow. Which brings us to the updated TAT. I am so *EXCITED* to announce, we are caught up!!!!! With just a few more orders to go we will be back at 2-3 business days beginning Monday. I am so excited. It's been a long time since we've been able to catch up like this. But Lori and I have been hustling over here like mad women!

So, all the new scents have been added in lotions so far, some perfumes. Since we have been here working round the clock I haven't had a chance to add the remainder of the items, which btw, I know it's past Valentines Day, but better late than never, right? ;-) So, I will be adding the remainder of the items over the weekend. I'm also going to take some time to work on inventory and repenish many items that are out of stock.

Also, a friendly reminder, some scents are being retired. They are:

Stanko
Twilight Night
Can Can Girl
Cinderella's Carriage (will return in the Fall)
Drink Me (will return in the Fall)

We cannot thank you enough for your continued patience!

Have a fabulous weekend!

February Fragrance of the Month

February's Fragrance of the month is:


Mad Alice
 

This free perfume petite is with every order of $25.00 or more in addition to the free perfume petite sample included with every order of $10.00 or more.

Quick Update

So it seems that we can never catch a break over here. My family and I came down with a horrible stomach bug, each one of us slowly, one by one over the course of 10 days. There are 6 of us here, we are just glad it has finally passed. Lori took over and did all that she could during this time to which I am so blessed to have her around.

In the meantime, the Valentines collection has been delayed due to this. I am finally on the mend and we are making headway on all the orders. I am using this beautiful Sunday to process as many orders as I can get done while Lori has the weekend off, bless her heart. With the progress we are making, I estimate that by mid week, we will be back to a 2-3 business day TAT. This may change depending on the volume of orders that come in. It seems that from early fall (or usually late summer) until valentines day is a pretty busy time for us. 


The valentine collection will be added to the website by Monday and etsy by mid week.

In regards to samples, Lori and I receive many inquiries as to purchasing samples in lotions, whipped soaps and the scrubs. aside from the perfume petites already offered. These samples can be found on our website. To keep TAT down we will be minimizing the amount of custom listings for these items since not all are listed in our etsy shop. But they can be found on our website.

We are also working on providing a better preforming website for you. This will have real time shipping costs for both US and international customers, inventory control and more payment options. We anticipate to have this launched by late spring or early summer.

As always, we cannot thank you all enough for your patience and the kind words we receive via convo, email and your messages with your orders. Thank you so much for being so kind to us!!


Have a fabulous day and if you are a die hard fan like we are, don't miss the walking dead tonight!
