12/2/2022 - Happy Holidays!
The holidays are here, and if you want all your orders to arrive at their destinations in time, look at the deadlines below. USPS has warned that waiting until the very last minute to order gifts online may have serious consequences this year, as they expect holiday shipping delays to pop up again.

These deadlines only apply to the contiguous U.S states (not Alaska, APOs, or Hawaii):

1-2 Items – Purchase by December 13th
3 or more Items – Purchase by December 15th

11/28/2022 - We (I) have added a little shimmer to the sugar scrubs to help you get in that holiday spirit from now until the end of the year. It will provide a slight holiday glow without the glitter.

11/26/2022 - Happy Holidays. If you missed out on the Black Friday sale, the Cyber Monday sale is on until midnight Monday. We are also in the process of doing inventory, so there are so many new listed scents for you to discover and fall in love with.

11/15/2022 - Etsy has included us in their Big Sales event starting 11/17. Stop on by

11/7/2022 - We have heard you and added a body perfume called The Perfume. Our The Perfume’s base is made with an industrial-strengthened perfume alcohol base to give you the full experience of wearing perfume. The difference between The Perfume and the Body Mist Alcohol-Base is the ingredients and the fragrance oil we use. The Body Mist Alcohol Base uses up to 10-15% fragrance based on the IFRA guidelines for that fragrance. The Perfume’s base is made with 100% industrial-strengthened perfume alcohol and uses up to 30% fragrance based on the IFRA guidelines for that fragrance.

We are out of the Argan Milk Hair Perfume until the end of next week. Also, we discounted the Shimmering Body Mist due to issues with clogging in the sprayers.


10/30/2022 - The I.F.R.A . (International Fragrance Association) changed its standards last year, and many of our suppliers have or are reformulating fragrances to comply with the new standards. The IFRA Standards are a set of rules and regulations for using fragrance materials and a baseline for the industry. These new standards address that the components of essential oil/natural oils used in fragrances can be more harmful than they originally thought in fragrance blends. New adjustments have been made to many of the fragrances that need reformulated, and others have until 5/2023. These guidelines revised the suggested maximum usage percentage of specific fragrance oils, in our case, for bath and body products. Some of our fragrances may have been reformatted, and the fragrance oil may not smell or be as strong as it was in the past.

In addition, the cost of the fragrance may have increased in price. We take these guidelines seriously and will follow them. However, for the most part, we use less than the suggested maximum usage amount for our product. This gives us room to make our products a bit stronger if requested. Fragrances with a very low maximum usage rate, such as spices, and we stay within those limits, and they cannot be made stronger. It is important to remember that the maximum allowable amounts are not intended as usage recommendations; they are the maximum amount of fragrance that can be used in each application and still be IFRA-compliant. Our customer's safety is number one for us.


10/16/2022 - We offer free shipping for orders over $100. Also, Three or more sites (except roller-balls) ship by priority mail.

9/7/2022 - If a fragrance seems a little different or lighter, it may be due to changes made by the IFRA (the International Fragrance Association) 49th Amendment. This means that maximum usage rates in our various products - potentially have changed. For the most part, the formula has not changed, but the amount of fragrance we use in our products has.
