 we received 2 sweet shout out this week…

from the little black box

Real Simple -simply stated blog by holly

YAY!!!

Kimmie, who I’ve known for years, is the driving force behind the little black box.  I am always amazed by the amount of energy she has in putting together hundreds for sample boxes each month, all filled with wonderful bath & body treats.  So brilliant… who wouldn’t want to shower with treats every month.  We ran into each other on the twitterland yesterday.  And SWEET enough she did a nice little feature on our 4-day 40% off lotion & candle sale. Click on her banner to see what she’s shouting about…

about a month or so ago, we were asked to participate in a FUN contest organized by indiefixx for the “BEST OF BATH & BODY PRODUCTS”… we sent in a bunch of our favorite products for Jen and her 2 other judges to try out… and for the last 2 weeks in a row, we were so honored to be named the winner of the BEST HAIR CARE and BEST BODY SCRUB.

IndieFixx is one of my favorite blog and my everyday must read… Jen always post about the most interesting or most wanted indie product… or the best tutorials or inspirations… or the best etsy finds… and of course the most FUN contests..  She now even runs a shop with her favorite indies’ goodies… Visit her blog or shop to see it yourself.

Before I take off to enjoy my Mother’s Day weekend, just want to let everyone knows I’m throwing out another surprise sale for this weekend.  ^_^  From now till 5/12, 15% off everything when you spend only $30.  Use code spend30.  Also, for limited time, free shipping is now for order of $50 or more.

Hurry to shop now and don’t miss out on this special!

The Wishlist Sale was a blast yesterday.  Here’s a snapshot of our little table at the corner.  Thanks to everyone who came by to say hi.  It was so nice to hear things like: “oh, I wear your perfume that I got from xx store… ” “oh, I love your soaps & scents… ” or “oh, I finally meet you…”

So now that the show is done and we are full swing into our holiday shipping.  All pre-sale orders are already in process.  Our holiday shipping schedules can also be found here.  Oh.. and hurry up, shop before the 11th to receive our FREE birthday goodie bag and FREE gift with purchase.

We just got named the 2007 Stylebakery Editors’ Choice of Best Beauty Designer! YAY!! Thank you for all your supports!!

I was pleasantly surprised as I went thru the pile of mails that was accumulated while we were away.   There was a  complimentary copy of My Day.  And happily I see this sweet write-up inside.

We had a nice time off, just a little too short!  We are back on our usual schedules and already jumped back onto our products.  4 soaps (2 new scents) in curing.  They will be ready in the shop by next week and the “long-waiting” mi lotion will reveal on the Aug 15.  That is also a BIG DAY for mi SPA.  Be sure to check back on 8/15!!
