June 2012

I’m so excited to announce the May fragrance of the month—STRAWBERRY!
It's hard to believe that only one year ago I announced my first fragrance of the month, same as today, Strawberry! Only to take it a step further, I've decided to announce two additional fragrances for your sensual pleasure: Strawberries & Creme and Strawberry Jasmine.
Strawberry, in and of itself, is a thrill of its own. Sweet, juicy, and fragrant, you will think these small berry fruits are being stirred into a sugar syrup in your own kitchen. Bring on the shortcake, the cheesecake, or the ice cream...you will not be disappointed with the fragrance of this candle.
Strawberries & Creme is a custom blend I also introduced last summer. Providing a lighter, richer dose of strawberry, this fragrance adds a healthy dose of vanilla. What comes to mind to me is sliced strawberries on a bed of freshly whipped creme fraiche, ok, maybe yogurt if you're being healthy.
Strawberry Jasmine is a new fragrance for 2012. While inspired by a recent report of trendy fragrances for 2012, testing proved it to be fruity, floral and feminine, and an eastern flair to an early summer blend. The strawberry is fresh, sweet, and citrus, providing a rich undertone base, and jasmine adds top floral notes, creating a slightly exotic Asian blend.
All strawberry fragrances are 10% off throughout the month of June, and are available in home fragrances of candles, room & linen sprays, and diffuser oils, as well as bath & body fragrances of lotions, body wash, and body sprays. For a complete listing of available products, please visit my Etsy shop. I'll also be posting a board of my favorite strawberry images and recipes on my Pinterest board. I hope you'll stay tuned!

In April, I had the opportunity to attend a conference and listen to featured speaker Stan Phelps. Mr. Phelps recently published a book, What’s Your Purple Goldfish. I'm not going to give away the secret of what a purple goldfish is, but I will share with you his message that the companies who succeed are those who offer exceptional customer service by providing “a little something extra.” Examples include a visiting nurse company that delivers “humble apple pie” to clients when a mistake has been made; a dry cleaners who provides complimentary cleaning to out of work job seekers.
If you’ve purchased from me, you are aware of my Krazee Kandels. I love these. Some are tea lights, some are votives, all made from leftover amounts of wax I cannot use in the future. It's supply I have, can't do anything with, yet is a relevant gift as a means to say "thank you." Always packaged neatly with my signature froggie thank you tags.
I also recently introduced a referral program. All repeat customers now receive a 15% off coupon to give to a friend who may be interested in home and body fragrances. When redeemed, you receive 15% off your next order as well.
I look forward to helping you connect with your favorite fragrance soon. Thank you for your support!
