Quick Update on Grand Re-O Orders

Hello Bathing Beauties! Just a quick update and a few housekeeping items:

1. All orders from the Grand Re-O sale have been completed and are currently being packed and processed for shipping. Since I'm a one-woman show right now, I am doing everything - from start to finish. When you get a completed notification from CLC, it means that your goodies have been made and are now waiting to be labeled, bagged with pretty little things, packed in a box with more pretty little things and then processed for shipment. So there may be a day or two lag between when you get a completed notice and a Click & Ship notification. Orders are processed in batches for efficiency.

Apparently, there was a lot of hoarding going on (hey, I said hoarding you dirty mind you)! I received a number of large orders for either A) a particular product or B) a particular scent or C) A whole lotta both!!! You ladies crack me up, I swear.

2. I am now processing orders placed the week of 2/4/08. Keep in mind that orders placed on or after this date is subject to a 10 to 12 business day TAT as stated in our website.

3. What is the deal with USPS? I've been nervously tracking the first batch of packages that went out because of all the bad weather we've been having on the east coast. Anyway, it took about 3 or 4 business days for an order to get from Peekskill, NY to Stony Point, NY? What I noticed is that even though I drop off my packages at our local post office, they get processed in Kearny, NJ. Not sure what this is about, but I'm going to ask Jimmy, my USPS rep and fellow Ranger fan. (Let's go Rangers!)

4. For those who ordered a product in Dark Pink - let it cure! Although this applies to all products, it does so even more in this case. Dark Pink is a very heavy oil blend and it will take some time for the oils to bind. If you think your stuff smells good now, wait another week or two and holy sexiness Bath Girl - it smells even better. It's ironic really that one of our best selling blends is also the most temperamental!

I think that's about it. What's in the works right now? I'm looking at tweaking my detangler formulation which I will then put out to test. I'm still at the concept stage of two product developments, although I may just focus on one right now simply because I don't have the time to do both and I'm finalizing the scents for the spring/summer collection. Oh and in March, CLC will be participating in a NYC fundraiser, along with all the other wonderful businesses that make up Marmalade Pink.

Sleep? Who needs sleep?
