FUgly Edition #4 - Ummm Soap

There really isn't anything wrong with this soap.  In fact it's made with Shea Butter and has a super creamy lather which leaves your skin moisturized.  The aroma is fantastic!  The only problem is that I can't remember the scent I used.

I'm usually super organized and you have to be  when dealing with almost 700 scents.  I was working on this soap over the holiday and when it became busy I abandoned the new creations and started filling orders.  Now that it has settled down I came back to my soap to cut and test.  I thought I wrote the fragrance down or left the bottle next to it but after cleaning up I must have put it away.

I do know my intention were to make a great smelling men's soap and this has notes of sweet brown sugar and a slight woodsy undertone.  My "official testers" love it!  I love it for myself as well.  I considered going through all the men fragrances I carry to find the right one but sometimes fragrances smell differently when mixed in the product.

Right now I'll just call this Shea Butter soap and offer it at a discount in my Etsy and ArtFire shops.  If I ever figure out the fragrance you will see it on my website.  Take advantage of my mishap and try this soap out because you are sure to love it as well!

New for the New Year!

Hope your holiday season was full of giving and getting what you wanted!  I've finally gotten a breather to let you in on some of the updates for 2011:

January Scent of the month - Black Forest Truffle 

Doesn't that look delicious?  What a way to start off if your resolution was to lose weight and eat healthy (well that was mine this year...and every year).  But instead you can just indulge in smelling this decadent fragrance all day with no calories, fat or carbs!

Best Sellers + Nikki Favorites

A recent customer emailed me elated that they found our website with all the scents I had.  (I love getting emails from fellow scent addicts).  She wanted to know which were my best selling and my favorite scents.  I do mark certain items  "Best Seller" or "Nikki Favorite" but I didn't have a list one can go to to see them all.  I know almost 700 scents is overwhelming so I'm not sure why I haven't thought of this sooner.  

That's why I love my customers for giving me great ideas!  Therefore now you can click the link "Best Sellers" to find our customers' most popular products and scents.  You can find my favorites called "Nikki Favorites" in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to narrow it down but it's hard for a scent addict.
