I'm doing it a little differently so that I can spend a week after the holidays with no one home to do some paper work catch up and re organizing of products and the new cart. For some reason, I find it hard to focus when everyone is here for 2 weeks solid!

I apologize for any inconvenience the closing may cause, but it will enable me to improve your shopping experience over the coming year. 

SHIPPING WILL BE CLOSED FROM

Thursday Dec 18 until Sunday Dec 28.

I'll reopen Monday Dec 29, 30 and 31 to ship any parcel orders that have come in during that time.

Over the New Year, shipping will be closed from Jan 1 through Jan 10.

Please make note of these dates if you would like to have an order arrive during these times.

A NOTE ON 2009 PRICING

I also wanted to give you a heads up that when I put the new cart up, some of the pricing will also be going up.

It's been a few years or more (I'm not even sure when I last did a cart update on the prices unless it was an item that was costing me substantially more due to availability etc), so I am due for an update to reflect my current costs and expenses.

I'm not forseeing anything major, a few dollars here and there, but of course you want to get the best deals, so you may want to order before the new cart is in effect, sometime early in the new year.

MORE SALES

On the upside, I had a lot of fun with the Cyber Monday sales, so I will be posting a new sale weekly and have something in the works to be able to offer everyone who orders special pricing on a different item every month. 

LAST WEEK OF CYBER MONDAY X 3

If you've been wanting to experiment with some of the thickeners, now's a good time.

1 oz of all 3 for 10.99 – Reg price separately 15.00

Gels, Gums and Thickeners 

Kaolin Clay

I bought a huge bag of this so I have lots.

So how about a 2 for 1. Buy one of any size on the cart and get another one free.

A great time to stock up.

HOW TO COLLECTION

If you've been wanting to purchase the Soap Naturally book or the How to Make Body Butter Guide or the Make It Special Guides, now is a great time to save.

Order the Soap Naturally Book using the regular order link, and until next Sunday, I'll send you both guides as a free bonus.

I've had nothing but good feedback for both of them, just think of all the fun that you'll have over the holidays!

Makes a great gift for your soaping buddy. If you want the book wrapped, just let me know.

Great time to hit up the hubby for your special Christmas present too! 

Here's your link.

Soap Naturally Book 

NOTE: that is the regular order page. I will contact your email with your additional free guides. I am going to be out for the rest of this weekend so please don't worry if you don't get your downloads until Monday or maybe Tuesday depending on how many I need to send. I will send them asap.

If you don't receive yours by Wed, please let me know at jan.ferrante (at) gmail.com

You can have a look at both of the guide contents here.

Make It Special Christmas Guides 

AND A CHRISTMAS FREEBIE

This isn't skin care but I am happy to be able to tell you about a free list that I have put together to help anyone get organized for Christmas.

I put it together after waking up at 3am one morning totally stressed about what I had to do, and realizing that I didn't even know what I had to do. Since then, it's been going great. 

It included my own 'Big Christmas List' of things to do before Christmas as well as a bunch of free recipe booklets for things like Christmas dinners and making Christmas Candies and treats for the holiday (and maybe even before!)

You can check it out and sign up completely free here.

The Big Christmas List. 

I hope that you are all enjoying the season and are looking for a great year in 2009.

I am!
