Taking a break…

written by Laurie August 25, 2013

I’ve just taken the cart buttons down for a little break, but if you need an order in the next few weeks I can take care of it for you — just send me an email. I know there are a couple of international people who want to time orders while they or their friends are here, and don’t worry, I can still do that.

My assistant of over two years has just taken a well deserved full-time job, so she will no longer be helping me. I’m very sad to lose her, but I’m happy for her because she has a great opportunity. I’ll need to look for someone new, but I want to wait a few weeks because I hurt my left arm/elbow a few weeks ago and it has been getting worse instead of better. I’d like to take time out to get some PT. I realize that I’ve had a few of these episodes over the years and I apologize for that. It’s the unfortunate downside of being a one woman business and having some physical challenges.

On the upside, I just sent out the first two testers of the floral and Amber Incense. I want to keep testing them myself and make some more samples to send out.

Please be well rested, happy and joyful while taking your break. You deserve it. And I hope that your arm will be fine soon!

Exciting that Amber Incense and the Floral are doing good. Those first ones for test will be the lucky ones 🙂

Thanks, Lucas and Jordan! This is a gorgeous time of year, so it’s a good time for a break. I’m feeling optimistic about these formulas, but we’ll see what testers say! 🙂

Thanks so much, Julia. I’ll go see the dr this week and get some advice. This is something new, but I’m hoping it will go away quickly.
