Notes From The Universe...

5.22.2012

Updates...

My pretties, you've kept me on my toes these last few days - it has been NUTS around here!  And yes, that's a great thing... however, when my cup overfloweth with love from my peeps, it does affect the turnaround time on orders.  Right now due to order volume between my website and the Etsy shop, TAT is approximately 48-72 hours.

In other news, I am working on some new additions to the line-up that will be released in the next few weeks.

Fleur Orange - Sweet, creamy orange blossom with just a hint of green leaves. 

Elation - Pink grapefruit, strawberry, kiwi, honeydew, peach and clementine... all with a heavy dose of vanilla and white musk.  Think kinda sorta Dreamsicle.... but better!

Epona - Jasmine sambac, hay absolute, bulgarian and moroccan roses, and just a touch of beeswax absolute.... this one smells like a hillside meadow warmed in the summer sun. Comprised of all natural essences, no synthetics here!


And... the re-release of a couple of favorites from the vault....

Persephone Undone - A rich, fruity floral that is most assuredly not an innocent fragrance, this one is all decadent, ripe, voluptuous woman. It has received rave reviews from local retail clients and is one of my personal favorites.  Notes of ripe red pomegranate, apple and black raspberry layered over a soft musk, embraced by a warm and decadent blend of amber, vanilla and sandalwood. At the heart you'll find notes of jasmine, neroli, lilac and the tiniest breath of lavender.

Hesperides -  In Greek mythology, the Hesperides are the evening nymphs who inhabit the lush garden in the Arcadian Mountains where the tree that bears Hera's golden apples abides. This is my personal interpretation of them. It's a not-so-innocent blend of honeysuckle, sweet pea, and apple enveloped in a rich base of amber, vanilla, and cedarwood. Subtle nuances of sandalwood, champa flowers and violet are rounded out with ylang ylang, patchouli and musk. This has been a hit with local retail clients as well.

So, lovelies.... until next time - remember, there is still a sale running in the Etsy shop at the moment... use code FAN20 for 20% off your order total, excluding shipping!  :-)  Be sure to check out the new website and let me know what you think.  I am working on diverting as much traffic through the website as possible and hope to build it to the point where it is my main venue rather than Etsy - I will continue to offer sales, coupon codes, giveaways, etc  - but working toward all of that being sponsored through the website as opposed to Etsy.  I need you guys to help me get there.  :-)

Thanks, dahlings!

XOXO,
Tina

Yes... Another Sale!

Alright sweet tarts... I'm running another sale. This one in the Etsy shop.  Use coupon code FAN20 at checkout for 20% off of  EVERYTHING currently listed in the shop. 

I am trying to drum up some extra cash for a very special reason... well, a very special reason to me. 

A year ago in February I lost my beloved Hoot - my barrel racing horse.  I owned his dam, was there the morning he was born, raised him, trained him, ran barrels on him for years.  He was a part of my everyday life for 15 years and when I lost him I was absolutely devastated.  To the point that I've pretty much had no interest in riding or really having anything to do with our horses for the last year, which is really saying something for me.  Oh, everyone is well taken care of - I just have had no interest in riding or doing anything that way, it just made me sad.    I go up every morning to do chores and I still somehow expect Hoot to be there like he always was to greet me with a nicker at his gate... and every morning, when I look over at his corral, I have a little stab of heart break all over again.

Approximately three years ago, I sold a mare that I was very attached to to my best friend because I knew she'd have a wonderful home and she was the perfect match for the family.  This is the only other horse I've ever been as attached to as I was Hoot.  Well, a few weeks ago, my friend offered her for sale back to me because she'd purchased another horse and couldn't keep everyone.... so I KNEW I had to find a way to make it happen. 

So, here I am... trying my darndest to drum up some extra sales all in the name of bringing Blu back home.

And here is Blu.  :-)

Paradise Found...

One of my most popular scents... now available in the convenient 10ml roll on size. 

Paradise Found... Make your escape to the islands now! Creamy Tahitian vanilla comes together with whisper-light tropical florals & a hint of citrus & coconut, all on a bed of soft white musk.

Sweet, creamy, & addicting.This is a fresh, lovely twist on tropical florals & coconut - minus the "Hawaiian Tropic" effect.

What customers are saying about Paradise Found:

"Paradise Found is absolutely divine. I'll definitely be purchasing more in the future!"

"LOVE! It arrived fast and was beautifully wrapped. Smells divine and NOT like sun tan oil like so many others of this kind."

Blended in a proprietary base of sesame, rice bran, sweet almond, jojoba, & apricot kernel oils, it will arrive suitably packaged for gifting in a gorgeous floral embossed gift box tied with ribbon. Perfect for gifting someone else or simply for treating yourself to something fun and unique.

Let's Try This Again....

Okay, lovelies... let's try this again.  I was a offering a coupon code for a 20% discount on perfume oils as a grand opening celebration for the new site - but there was a glitch with the promo codes.  The glitch has been addressed, so I'm offering the code again. It will be good until midnight, May 14th.

Visit the new site here - Midnight Gypsy - and use coupon code GrandOpening20 to receive 20% off on both the 7.5ml screw-top bottles as well as the 10ml roll-on bottles at checkout. 

Please let me know what you think of the site... I think it looks pretty darn nifty, if I do say so myself!

Retailr makes it EASY to set-up a really professional looking shop that is easily customized to your specific tastes.  They have several different plans to choose from, their prices are very reasonable, and tech support is amazingly fast & friendly... I just purchased my own domain and pointed it to my Retailr shop - quick, easy, and love the results.  So if you're needing a website solution with a shopping cart integrated - give them a look!
