I’m in the mood to celebrate the long weekend so I’m having 25% off until Monday night on all Modern Antiquity products.
Why Modern Antiquity? It’s one of my favourites. I love love love the warm musky scent and lashings of clay which make it so good to use.
Get it only on the Empire of Delight website.
Have you signed up for my newsletter? Tell the truth because I actually know these things.
(Signing up for my newsletter is like giving a big kiss to hand made in Western Australia. And it’s good for the environment)
And did I mention there will be members only deals and specials available only via the newsletter?
Go here to sign up. It really is that easy.
Why am I so awesome? Apart from the obvious…
If you know me personally or read this blog often you may be a little “Oh she has ANOTHER bath bomb solution…blah blah blah! Good for her” but I swear I’m positive this one is going to be permanent.
90% sure anyway.
If you’ve never made bath bombs and then tried to package them in durable, attractive, professional, cost effective packaging that still lets you smell the fragrance then you may be unaware of just how gosh darn difficult that is. I have tried just about everything I can think of but have never been completely happy with it. It may look nice but be costly, time consuming or cover up the fragrance. And I was never really satisfied with leaving them unwrapped as the only option, fearing what humidity and air conditioning will do to them.
But I’m really happy with this packaging solution. Introducing:
I know right! Simple, yet brilliant.
It still needs a few more tweaks to get it perfect but I’m really happy with it.
The bombs are protected from the elements while still allowing the fragrance to come through and all product descriptions, logo and ingredients are easy to see.
So from this week I’ll be offering two different types of bath bombs; wrapped and unwrapped. This will apply for wholesale orders too and will enable people to decide how they would like their purchases. At the moment I’m visualising the wrapped bath bombs would be perfect for gifts, web orders and most retail outlets while the unwrapped bombs will probably fair better at markets as most customers are buying them for themselves and are happy to forgo a bit of wrapping.
Stay tuned folks, they’ll be up in the shop soon.
Out of curiosity I did a quick search for my soaps and bath bombs in the Etsy Treasury list and found these:
Very cool.
My Oatmeal, Milk & Honey bath bomb has been leading the pack. It’s been featured a lot lately.
I’ve never actually had a proper logo. Not a real one, so, in an effort to get my business act together I spent an inordinate amount of time making one.
Now I’m not going to tell you that whilst looking for a bird with the word “Delight” in it’s name I came across a “Twitchers Delight” which I thought was a simply wonderful looking bird. But it turned out that that isn’t the name of a bird but rather a term used to describe the sighting of a rare bird (or something to that effect).
I won’t tell you, because that would just make me look like an idiot…and we can’t let that cat out of the bag.
So it’s a twitchers delight wearing a crown. See where I’m going here? My little bird friend is the emperor of delightful birds.
I know I know, my genius is positively radiating from me.
He’s (no name yet, we’re still at getting-to-know-you stage) going to be absolutely every where soon. In fact the little fellow is already on this blog and on the website. Check out the website if you don’t believe me, and while you’re there, buy something. The soaps are fantastic value.
My 100 Day Action Plan and 31 Steps to Super Career Woman Success has been a total bomb.
But lets all relax and eat some cake. I know I will be.
Clearly I’m preoccupied and my blog is the first thing to go. We’ve got workshop renovations to deal with and husbands and children on holidays, not to mention I’m cooking meals every night instead of feeding the kids cereal for dinner and this kind of commitment takes time and effort.
Although I must brag about my quiche Lorraine and curry chicken pie, both of which are awesome.
Then there’s been the reworking of my bath bombs. I completely changed my recipe and have created the most brilliant bath bombs…if I do say so myself. But dear reader, they really are smashing, I’m positively chuffed with them.
I’ll be introducing them at the next market which will be in October. Don’t check the calendar yet I haven’t updated it…but it’s on my to do list.
I’ve got new packaging for the bath bombs and I am loving them.
Oh the pretty colours and the shiny boxes. Not only do they smell fantastic and are great for your skin but they look so very pretty as well.
I’ve even got a nifty little poster for the display stand…thinking of everything here.
I’ve been included in a few Treasuries this week.
Perhaps they knew it was my birthday yesterday.
