Thank you.

As we approach our third holiday season, I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve truly enjoyed working with you to create gifts and favors especially for you and your loved ones, and I appreciate getting a chance to chat with you every so often about what’s happening here. I’m sure that your inbox is crowded with lots of other messages, and your continued interest in my news is always appreciated!

I have to admit, I’m happy to be able to share some good news, since lots of the news in my inbox is not so positive these days. Since all of us are feeling the pinch from higher prices on everything from gas to groceries, I figured it would be nice to have a break. How does this sound: lower prices, FREE products, and reduced shipping costs.

Here’s what we’re doing:

  • Lowering prices on some of our lip balms. Check out our in stock page to take advantage of 50% discounts on some flavors while supplies last! Our Specials page also has discounted and discontinued items.
     
  • Adding a FREE item to your next order. While supplies last, it’s a raspberry cheesecake lip balm; after that we'll choose another seasonal favorite! Click here to order.

  • Reducing shipping and handling charges. Between now and the end of the year, we'll take $1.50 off shipping and handling for every order. This will automatically be calculated at checkout.

I know these are just little "thank yous," but I’ll be sending out a holiday newsletter in a few weeks with a coupon (as well as information about our new fragrance, flavors and products for the holidays). We’d love to help you make really unique holiday gifts and party favors this year!

Blackberry is Back
Where can you get your favorite early autumn fragrance and flavor, minus the thorns and prickles? Right here! Blackberry is back, and available in all of our moisturizers and products for the bath, as well as lip balm! (Of course.)

Another seasonal favorite is Citrus & Ginger, also available in moisturizers and bath products. Here are some ideas for gift sets in this tart, spicy fragrance!

Our seasonal lip balm flavors are making a comeback, too. We have pumpkin pie, cranberry, pomegranate, and black licorice in stock, and will be making apple spice, Spooky Juice and all the others in the coming days. Order your seasonal theme favors today!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that we've donated hundreds of dollars to Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the last year—thanks to your help? We’re hoping to donate even more in October through our Pink Lady gifts and favors.

If you’re planning a party or shower in October, consider Pink Lady lip balm favors. (We even have some cool pink Halloween tag designs!) We’ll donate $1 for each favor you order—give a favor, do a favor for a good cause!

I'm so popular!
I know you've been wondering just what other people are ordering for lip balm flavors. Now you can check the "I'm so popular" box on our home page to see what the month's bestsellers are!
Our blog is updated regularly with new products, recipes for parties and showers, and even coupons! It’s also a great place for you to let us know what you think—share your opinions about our packaging (should we keep our white lip balm jars, or do you prefer clear ones?) and our products. Or learn something new—earlier this month we posted a tutorial for making your own rubber stamp for decorating and scrapbooking.

If you're more comfortable on Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter, I'd love to connect with you there, too! Check here for links and let me know that you're a friend from the newsletter or blog!

Please keep in touch...and thank you for your interest!
