To my loyal customers....a big thank you!!!

Scentful Indulgence started as a partnership. In the beginning, it was a wonderful partnership. Formulating was and is still my favorite part which has now turned into a passion. A passion and a drive to bring to you the best ingredients to pamper the lifes of my clients is the reason that I can't get any sleep at night (story for another blog entry ;P). The collaboration between my partner and I was amzing....but we all know partnerships a can weaken and sour quickly.

Our once flourishing partnership hit a deep tail spin. I had no idea that I would be able to keep Scentful Indulgence afloat all by myself. I mean, it was a brand new baby and barely walking yet. I spent many sleepless nights trying to figure out how to make this thing work....formulating, changing, adding....it seemed like I would never be able to do this.

And then a sales, growth spurt if you will, hit me and it was like I suddenly had this group of cheerleaders...my customers. On the very days that I wanted to throw in the towel, were the days I woke to multiple orders. Almost as if some of you were reading my mind and saying, "Oh no sister, you cannot give up on us now!"

So I give you all my word, I haven't given up on any of you. This sole proprietorship is taking some getting used to but thanks to the support of my loyal customers, you have made it impossible for me to even think about giving up. And, you didn't even know that you did!

Thanks so very much to you all for holding me up when all I wanted to do is fold up and fall down. There will be lots of new things coming down the pike for Scentful Indulgence Bath and Body Boutique, so keep your eyes on this blog for all the updates.

A sneak peak of what's to come:

July 1~The Boutique Body Oils will be replaced with convenient Roll-On applicator bottles.
July 1~I will be adding Lotion Bars to the line up.
July 1~Everything But the Kitchen Sink Soap will debut in more scents and shapes.

New flavors for Kiss Me! Lip Balm & Bath Bombs

In addition to Fruit Smoothie & Pink Sugah! Kisses flavors, I am excited to offer Bananadana and Watermelon to my lip balm selection. Listings will go up early next week....so be on the look out for it....AND it will be a new and improved formulation! I've added Avocado, Hemp Seed & Mango Butters so now its loaded with 5, that's right count 'em 5 butters for maximum moisture and healing to those cracked lips. And yes, your lips will scream KISS ME BABY!

Also, I have been in a formulating mood this week! I am also bringing back Bath Bombs. Many of you have asked for them and I delivered. Having a rough day at the job, kids getting on your nerves, or the old man is just unusally grumpy, drop on of these babies in the tub and escape. And to the convo who asked if they have crack in them.....NO! Available in limited scent selection. Check the shop for details.

Silk Indulgence Body Spray finally listed!

Numerous requests from my body oil loving customers asking for a spray that was not oil based prompted the formulation of my body spray. Silk Indulgence, because it is made with emolients leaving the skin feeling silky to the touch and scented for hours. Inspired by a spray that I purchased years ago from one of those big chain bath and body places, I hope you will like it as much as I do. Packaged in an attractive silver brushed aluminum bullet bottle with a black fine mist sprayer, Silk Indulgence is available in all scents. Get yours today! The 2.5 ounce is $7.95 and coming soon, the 4 ounce spray will be $11.95.

Finally....follow me on Twitter!

Yes, after much debate about the effectiveness of this site, I have finally decided to give it a shot. I figure its only the 5th page that I must manage now, no pressure, right? Keep in touch with me on Twitter... www.twitter.com/scentfulone

What would you do?

Since Mother's Day has just passed (my Mom died in 2004) and Father's Day is approaching, I thought I'd ask my blog followers this question. Let's say you weren't speaking to your Dad because of a misunderstanding (on his part not mine), would you still acknowledge him for Father's Day? He is my only parent now and I feel kinda bad about us not being on the best of terms right now, but it truly is not my fault. So you were in my shoes, would you at least send a card, leave a message on his phone (although he claims he doesn't get them)? Or, do you just continue to wait until he comes to his senses and starts communicating again? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ;)
