Good morning!
I think that I have solved the shipping problem. I was charging a flat rate of $10 S&H and refunding people back if they were overcharged. I now have it set at $5 S&H, and little things like the lip balms, tarts and tea lights will ship for that price. Adding glass containers or massage candles will add a minimal amount for each piece, and hopefully work out to be closer to actual shipping charges. As always, if for some reason you end up being overcharged by a lot, I will attempt to refund back the difference.
I am also clearing out some stock of lip balms and massage tarts and have been tossing them in packages for free while supplies last!

A big huge thank you to everyone that has been so supportive of the launch of the website! Ah, my friends, always there and ready to hold you up like a good bra. The initial response has been overwhelming (although I’m not quite overwhelmed with orders yet, so keep them coming!) Many many thanks to Morgan Grace for pimping my wares. Check her music out, she is amazing. Word is I should be popping up in Google searches here really soon.
If anyone is needing ingredients listings of any of the body products, please shoot me an email. I don’t have them up yet, and certain recipes are still being tweaked a little here and there batch by batch. Keep it evolving! Current main ingredients that are being used in various combinations in the body products are soybean oil, mango butter, shea butter, jojoba oil, castor oil, hempseed oil, apricot oil, coconut oil, vitamin E, licorice root extract and then the essential oils, fragrance oils and flavor oils.

Well, this is it! I’ve officially put the word out that we are running and ready for orders. We are set up to take paypal for now, but will probably upgrade soon to give people more flexibility in payment. Also, if you know me and are local and would like to save on shipping costs, just let me know and you can pick up your order at “the shop”.
Please shop away, and shoot me an email if you have any questions at all! I also like custom orders, so if there’s something you want that you can’t find, please let me know!

Ok, it’s getting close! The first test of the shopping system went perfectly (thanks Lisa!) so I just need to finish getting product photos taken and edited. I have a few more products that I’ve been developing and are in test mode right now, your lips will thank me. I’m working on perfecting a lip balm recipe for tubes, so I will have tins and tubes available soon.
I will be out of town all weekend, but hope to get everything up and in working order next week when I get back.
Make a note of the new email address!
