Been So Busy!

Let's see, since I last blogged (about our new Body Butter line) we've been a bit busy. We've had a few sales, both through eBay and Etsy - bringing our total up to seven items sold on Etsy and five items sold on eBay - plus one sold offline. :)

The following scents have been sold:
Peppermint (x2)
Sweet Pea Cucumber Melon (x2)
Sugar Cookie (x2)
Buttercream Cupcake
Wild Berry Vanilla
Cucumber Melon
Vanilla
Pomegranate Vanilla
Lemon Lavender
Lavender

All scents have been sold in the form of bath salts. Which is great, because we love making the bath salts. And we are getting ready to expand our product line! :)

We are working on offering not only bath salts & body butter but body lotion, shower gel, glycerin soap bars, and bath salt bars. As soon as these items are ready, we'll let you know here on the blog! :)

Additionally, we have some new scents, so I will be updating the available scents page! A teaser: Yuletide Vanilla, Jack Frost, Grapefruit Blush, Honey Almond, Coconut, and more! :)

New Items!!!

These are not yet in the Etsy shop as I need to ensure that I am not raising the Etsy bill so high that I can't afford to pay it, but these new items have been added to the Made It Myself shop! :)

Last night LaShawn and I went into the kitchen and started playing with our shea butter! :) We haven't played with it yet because we weren't sure exactly what we wanted to do. I knew I wanted to make a whipped body butter using it, but I didn't know exactly how I wanted to do it. I put some coconut oil and some shea butter in a bowl, microwaved it for a few seconds so the mixer would actually do its job, and after about 8 minutes, we had an awesome whipped body butter!

Our whipped shea body butter in the package.

Buttercream Cupcake scented body butter

Lavender scented body butter

Lemon scented body butter

Lemon Sugar Cookie scented body butter

Peppermint scented body butter (great for the holidays!)

Sugar Cookie scented body butter (great for the holidays!)

I have to admit, my favorite so far is the  Buttercream Cupcake. It smells so good, I want to eat it! I keep having to remind myself that I can't! :)

Check out our shop on Made It Myself to purchase it - $5.00 per jar + $8.00 shipping and handling (combined shipping discount available)!

More Treasury Love

We told you about a few treasuries a couple of weeks ago in which we had our products featured. Well tonight we got double treasury love. We were featured twice in the same treasury! :)

Hostess gifts from local artisans features our Sweet Pea-Cucumber Melon bath salts & our Wild Berry-Vanilla sugar scrub.

Speaking of sugar scrubs, I'm planning on making some more tonight - most likely in Lemon and Sugar Cookie scents. I am also considering trying to make a whipped shea body butter, but I haven't decided if I'm up for that task tonight or not. ;)

Another Sold Post

We have sold another item - this time we got our first Etsy sale! Woo Hoo! :) A great lady from Iowa (our home state no less) bought our Sugar Cookie bath salts. That makes our grand total of sold bath salts up to five. :)

The breakdown on our sales so far is:

• 2 Sugar Cookie bath salts
• 1 Buttercream Cupcake bath salts
• 1 Sweet Pea Cucumber Melon bath salts
• 1 Wild Berry Vanilla bath salts.

It would seem so far that our most popular bath salts are Sugar Cookie. :) We're working on a sugar scrub that is sugar cookie scented as well, so be on the lookout for that to show up in the shop soon!

SOLD!

We had our first official online sale today! Our first total sale came a couple of weeks ago when a friend from church purchased a Lavender bath salts from us. But tonight on eBay a lovely lady from California purchased four of our bath salts! She also received, although she won't know it until she opens the package, a free jar of the Pumpkin Spice bath salts and a free set of 5 cotton facial scrubbies. :) We love to pamper our customers!

 The scents purchased were Sweet Pea Cucumber Melon, Wild Berry-Vanilla, Sugar Cookie, and Buttercream Cupcake. I noticed that the Sugar Cookie and Buttercream Cupcake scents had a lot of views on eBay - the next in line was Apple Pie alá Mode. I think people tend to like food-related scents. :)

 We have six more auctions that are running - for Apple Pie alá Mode, Pearberry Mint, Vanilla, Red Rose & Thyme, Cucumber Melon, and Peppermint. Of course, all of the aforementioned scents plus Lemon Lavender, Baby Powder, Pomegranate Vanilla, and Pumpkin Spice are available for purchase in our Etsy shop! :)
