We were blessed with some kitten love 2 days ago. Meet Bernie McLovin. We named him after Bernie Mac (RIP) and McLovin, which you would only understand if you have watched Superbad. He is a fiesty little fellow!

With a name like McLovin, it makes total sense for him to sleep like he has had one too many beers:

This is so cute, and funny:

Today is my relaxation day, the day I look forward to each and every week. I go back to school in about 2 weeks, so I am cherishing this time off. I pondered taking a few days off, but that would probably not be a great idea. Its funny, you take a few days off, no orders, no emails, only to come back from your mini break with thousands of emails to answer and orders to fill. Kind of defeats the purpose of relaxing, lol.

I will sit back, relax with the kids, read a few pages of a novel, and study up on my botanicals and extracts. Ciao!

When I saw these pieces I just knew I had to blog about them! Click on any of the pictures to learn more about these intricate pieces of art!

I have a shop on Dawanda.com as well. Please check it out!

In this day and age where gas is almost $5 a gallon in some places, the costs of running a business can be staggering. But I am not going to raise my prices on you. This summer I have been working hard to be able to buy more of my supplies in bulk and save money, hence saving you money when you shop with me. A lot of my soaps will now be $4.75 - $5 instead of $5.50. My 1 oz solid perfume has gone from $9 at the beginning of the year to $7.50! So take a look around, shop till you drop and don’t forget, I am having a 15% off any $15 order (less shipping) from July 26th through the 27th, sale ends at 6 pm EST on Sunday. See you soon!

Oh, and I am out of black ink! What type of world is this when you have 3 perfectly full colored toners in your mucho expensive printer, but it won’t print anything for  you because you are out of your $80 a pop black ink cartridge?  So there goes my morning plans of printing labels and such.  I am off to Staples, talk to you later!
