Good evening from my quiet little shop room. There's something about that time of night when the moon is at is fullest, the phone has stopped ringing for the day, the hubby has retired to the comfortable water bed (yes, we still have one!), the noisy tv is off, the last batch of soap has been poured for the day... Ahhhhhhh...... SO PEACEFUL! We live in the country, so we have that peace & quiet! Our internet is AWFUL, but everything else is peaceful. I guess that's a small price to pay. Thank you God for peace in our home!
So... last January I spoke to my WONDERFUL friends at Badger Group about putting together a newsletter. You know, the one you get in the "snail mail box" and unfold it and read it while you are enjoying a glass of wine...or cup of coffee... or just because you're SO excited to see what's new at L. L. Hugs, Naturally! Well, it's now September and it's ALMOST ready! That's MY procrastination...NOT Badger Group. They have been gently nudging me without being annoying! If you ever have any needs for putting a "shine" on your business... THEY are the ones, HANDS DOWN!!!! So, here's the deal... If I have your address, you should see my brightly-colored newsletter arriving sooooon! If you are NOT on my mailing list and would like a copy... send your e-mail address to LLHUGS@hotmail.com . If you receive a newsletter and you don't want to keep it... PLEASE pass it on to someone else after you have read it! Take it to work and leave it in the break room, take it to a waiting room or doctor's office and leave it there... or bring it back to me when you visit the shop and I will share it with new customers. Just DON'T THROW IT AWAY!
PRICE INCREASE FOR SOAP -- After MUCH review and resistance, I am forced to raise the price of a bar of soap to $6. Prices of oils and butters have risen and the suppliers shipping costs have increased and I'm not able to absorb them anymore. This still keeps my soap prices VERY competitive and they still last a LONG time (approximately a month), so I can still sleep soundly at night knowing that it's still a pretty good deal. This change has already gone into effect, so whether you shop in my store or online, you will be charged the new cost. I've been in business a little over two years and that's the first soap cost change... NOT BAD! Our goal isn't about getting rich... it's about keeping the banker from moving in! :)
SOOOO many new products, just in time for the dry weather to start! I'm pretty excited about several of them.... okay, I'll tell you which are my favorites... Spray-Mazing Body Mist; T.P. & Booty Spray; Hand, Face & Body LOTION; Lip Gloss (yes, with the wand); hyaluronic acid; and there are some really AWESOME new soap scents on the drying rack.
I've also reformulated my Hand, Face & Body CREAM and Body Silk and made them lighter and more absorbent. I can guarantee you there is NOTHING like it at the store! I was blessed with good skin, so I don't need much extra moisturizing besides my bar of soap. Oh, don't worry... I have OTHER issues! Speaking of... it's past my bedtime and I get crabby when I get tired. So I will sign off before THAT happens... HUGS to you all. You are more important than you realize and I THANK GOD for each and every one of you!
***Some of these products are so new they aren't on the website yet... STAY TUNED!!! If you don't see something, PLEASE ASK ME!
