Tahiti Kiss Face Cream

This past Winter, I started playing around with a new face cream.  Now, I’m not really thinking of launching off into facial care specifically (creams, masques, makeup, facial scrubs, etc.); there are some very talented cosmetic manufacturers who are doing that already.  Thing is, I was running low on the pretty great face cream I’d gotten in my goodie bag at the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild Conference a couple of years ago and wanted to try to make something similar.  With the awesome help of Tina at Majestic Mountain Sage, I formulated a face cream that made my Winter-dry skin feel totally blissed.  In fact, it felt so great on my skin and made my face feel so incredible that I realized that there was no way I could keep this all to myself.

My first step, though, was having other women test it.  After all, I might think it’s the greatest cream ever, but that doesn’t mean other people will.  Here is some of the feedback I got:

“I like the cream. No breakouts, sort of bronzes my skin… Like I’m at the beach. I dig it.” (April)

“I love how light it is!  It feels so good under my makeup.” (Donna)

“I love this stuff. I barely touch my finger to it, and its enough to do my whole face. I am so impressed how soft and moisturized it made my skin. I am in my early 50’s and have face skin as soft as a babies butt now….  love the way it makes my face feel….. and my grandchildren telling me I am kissable soft.” (Patti)

“When will this be available for purchase?  I love it!” (Amy)

Now, after the months-long testing process, Tahiti Kiss is available for purchase.  It’s my pleasure to share this fabulous treat with you.  In the four months I’ve been using it, I’ve noticed my skin is less prone to breakouts, a few people have told me I look younger than I am (I’ve even been carded buying wine!) and  my face is slower to suffer the effects of sun exposure when I’m wearing it.  Be sure to pick up your jar of this amazing face cream today, while supplies last.

*Fanfare and Fireworks*

It is with much fanfare, great excitement and not just a little pride that I get to make this stupendous announcement….

SARA’S SOAPS ‘N SUCH IS TEN YEARS OLD!!!

Isn’t she so sophisticated and sexy!?
It has been an awesome ten years marked with growth for my business and me, as well as some memorable moments, great laughs, frustrations and some amazing friends who’ve been walking beside me for several of those years.

One memorable moment…  It was 2002, and I’d been in business about 18 months or so.  I’d done one huge show and was doing my first ever EPA Show.  With about two hours to go in the event, Mom (who was helping me sell) starts hawking percentage off discounts – without consulting me.  I asked, “What are you doing?” 

Her reply was, “Since you’ve been at this for over a year now and are still in the red, I figured it’s time to liquidate and cut your losses.”  I explained to her how long it takes small businesses to get out of the red, and she accepted that.  Now, it’s ten years later and my business is squarely in the black.  She remains one of my biggest advocates and supporters, and I still do the EPA Show each Fall.

So, how are we celebrating this milestone?  
  1. All purchases during the month of June get 10% off their total.
  2. Enjoy free domestic shipping throughout June.
  3. All customers who make purchases will be automatically qualified to win a Sara-dipity Gift Set with a bar of spa soap, a 4-ounce bottle of lotion, a jar of scrub and a lip balm (retail value – $25.50).
  4. A special feature product each week that has its own special discount.  Keep your eyes peeled to Facebook or Twitter each Monday to find out what that week’s feature product will be.
  5. A brand new business logo – she’s grown up and is looking hot!
  6. A new, improved website, launching next week.
Thank you to all my customers, Twitter followers, Facebook fans and friends who’ve supported my business with encouragement, guidance, rim shots as needed, shares and retweets.  These past ten years would not have happened were it not for each of you.  Many blessings as we grow toward another ten years!
