Hahahahahah, Moon. Pcakes2, perhaps Grooch would like to order a medium sized gift basket of Jump Me Now assorted products for her boss's birthday. Oop, or maybe not. That might go best for the fiance.

Oop, sorry Weinermr and Hare. Er uh, I think I was thinking of Merlin. Yeah, Merlin. You'll never find him down here naming soap for Pcakes' new line of men's products. Now, how about a couple of names, you two?

You can rename some of these or just make up some new fragrances:

Apricot Freesia
Cabernet
Chamomile Bergamot (similar to Garden Botanika's Very Well Blend)
Champagne
China Rain
Country Sunshine (a minty citrus blend)
Energy (grapefruit-lemon-lime)
Gardenia
Ginger Orange
Green Tea
Hawaiian macadamia nut
Jamaica me crazy (tropical blend)
Kiwi
Lemon
Mango
Meadow (Herbal essence-y)
Merlot
Moroccan Mint
Oatmeal Milk & Honey (strong almond base)
Peach
Pear
Pearberry
Plumeria
Plum Spice
Pumpkin Spice
Red Clover Tea
Sex on the Beach
Starfruit & Mango
Strawberry
Sugar Cookie
Sunflower
Tangerine Smoothie
Zinfandel

Thank you all for your great commemts and suggestions! Here's a few things to note:
1. I suck at web designing!

2. This coming year (my sales year starts in March), I will be adding Men's and Woman's perfume type fragrances (ie Tommy, Calvin Klein)

3. Most popular fragrances puchased by men...this is actual men who had stood before me and bought (not a woman buying for a man)...#4 Pumpkin Spice...#3..Sugar Cookie...#2 Cucumber...and the #1 favorite is....Sex on the Beach! (duh). Studies show that men are attracted to food based smells. (ps, my hubby uses the Hawaiian Macadamia nut)

4. I will be making some adjustments to my website (hopefully today):
a. I will change the color of the
fragrances to somewhat reflect the actual color of the soap.
b. yes, Juju, I do have dog shampoo, and also
a mist for between baths..for now, it will
be renamed JuJu2BigDog Bath Line.
c. I will add our kid fragrances also (bubble gum, watermelon, maraschino cherry, banana)
d. I will also add "Bubble Bath" to the product line.
e. I will be adding several links to the site...one will be a link to a recipe page...each week I will add a couple of recipes for "do it yourself" products (ie: facials, mud masks, exfoliating scrubs)
f. I will also be added "Bath teas" to the site..these come 2 ways..in a tin of one tea blend, or 4 tea bags with different blends.
g. I will also be adding my "soap trios"..these are a 3pack of soaps, with a theme..(ie: Tea Time:red clover tea, green tea and lemon, Island Delights:sex on the beach, plumeria, hawaiian mac nut; etc.)

5. Like I said earlier, my line is always expanding, and this year I will be also adding "gel room fresheners". These are similar to gel candles, but the fragrance is stronger and there is no need to set them on fire. I have also been toying with the idea of candles (thanks tess), but if I do, I will probably only do votives. Bath bombs are also on the list, but I'm still in the early production stage, hope to have them perfected in February.

6. I will be adding additional fragrance soon, and may be asking some of youto test then for me...they will include tuberose, cactus flower, blackberry, cantalopue, guava and hibiscus, and a 5pack of Feng Shui soaps.

7. I will continue to ask you all for ideas!

Well, that's all I can remeber right now, but I'll keep you updated, thanks for all your help and support!

, , & Suds!
ps: I need clip art bubbles!

Pcakes,
What can I say that hasn't already been said? You are a very kind and special person to offer these samples.
Thanks for posting the website. I just can't decide what to buy-all of scents sound so Heavenly! One of each kind! lol
Thanks again for your gracious gesture.
You are a real sweetie!

Pcakes, you have email with an order. I need to know how to pay you, too. :)

Tessy I want to place a order, but don't know what smells the best. Some of you who have gotten your samples already which one did you like the best.

Reading some of your responses to how great the soap smell I guess it is not easy to just pick one. But try to give me some idea of what smells good. Tessy which one are you ordering?

Juju, what a honor to have a bath line named after you. Juju2bigdog has a nice ring to it... I like that. :)

Pcakes,
I got my two awesome soaps while I we were on vacation. I used the "merlot" for my first bath in over a week (They only had showers on the ship and Yes, I did use them) and it was wonderful! I want to order the jumbo gift pack... does it all come same fragrance? And how do I pay you? Should I send a check and then when you recieve it you will send the product? I hope your business does wonderfully, you deserve it...

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback!
Still working on the temp web site, but you can go there and see what's available and prices and fragrances. I've added a link to TVCH (which works), and a couple of others I'm still working on. I really appreciate all the kind words that have been said about my products, and personally about me. I received an email from Lance yesterday (who still had not received his soap also), and he indicated that the packages might have been stolen by a postal employee...I hadn't thought of that. I usually ship UPS (which can be tracked). If you still haven't received your package, (I pretty much know who you are), I will resend packages this week. I will also be indicating "most popular" fragrances if you are looking for a gift, and not sure what someone would like. I also have "gift certificates" available. As far as the gift packs (I'm going to try to post pictures of them tonight, you can get all one fragrance or any combination. Also if you don't take baths and want 2 shower gels instead of a shower gel and bath salt, that's ok too. Until I get my order form completed, you can just email me what you want. Payment: I've never had a problem doing business this way (although people think I'm crazy) When you get your order, then you can pay me. I accept checks, money orders, and now PayPal. It's a trust thing, and maybe I'm to trusting, but that's the way I choose to run my business.
I'll keep you updated, and please email me with any questions.

Pcakes, what is the most popular fragrances purchase by the Women? And what is your favorite fragrance?

I like taking baths so I'm always using bubble baths and Bath salts. So I'm very interested in purchasing some of those as well.

Misslibra, China Rain and Plumeria were both great smelling.

I guess I did not read the above post thoroughly enough. I totally missed the new name of the line of dog products. Hahahahaha. What a fine name that is, and I bet it will be a big seller too. Even for little dogs. The JuJu2BigDog mist will make your little buddy smell like the big hearted beast s/he is!

Pcakes, I just got my package. I had you mail it to my friends because my mailbox is too small to hold anything except envelopes (of course I live in an apartment). Anyways, I get this phone call from my friend and she tells me she got the package and couldnt resist the smell so she had to open it. Then once she opened it, she said she wouldnt relinquish (sp) the soaps without me giving her one! I could see how these boxes might get stolen. These things smell incredible! Thanks so much!!

Moon - Every time I think of your suggestion that Jamaica Me Crazy should be called Jump Me Now, I laugh all over again. That's hilarious!

Missy, I haven't received my initial package yet so I haven't had the opportunity to smell anything however, I took a leap of faith and ordered gift packs in pearberry and China Rain for 2 of my sisters in law. I'll let you know how they are when they arrive. I asked for different scents for my free introductory offer so I'll let you know about those also when I get them. :)

Pcakes, as slow as mine was getting to me, I wouldn't go shipping duplicate packages too soon. The post office is, I think, still pretty screwed up recovering from the anthrax stuff, but they will most likely eventually deliver, just like they did mine.

Pcakes, do you ship to Canada? If I were to order from you - especially the men's stuff, is that a problem for your business? This stuff is my favourite kind of gift to give and I'm anxious to try the scents you have listed for my husband

Tess, you won't go wrong with ordering blind. I got the China Rain sample, and it is delightful, a pleasant fragrance, but not real perfumey sweet.

Since I like wine, I ordered Merlot and pcakes put in a California Cabernet too(What a sweety she is). The idea was that if my hubby came home and said "you reak like wine" I could say "oh, I just took a bath with my new soaps" Well, both fragrances smell wonderful, not really boozy like I had hoped so back to the drawing board for me...LOL!

Seriously, they smell so yummy and I am placing another order very, very soon! I sure missed my bubble baths on vacation!

Pcakes, I got my freebie today, thanks so much. I love the Gardenia, it smells so good, I am using it as aromatherapy. I agree about the packages being so appealing it would run the risk of theft, but short of one of those seal-a-meal thingies I don't know how you could get around that. Maybe put your website address on the outside (once it is up and running) and print a sentence on the outside of the box saying "here's where to go to get one for yourself" or some such.

Anyhow, thank you again so much, it was just what the doctor ordered to lift my spirits today.
