At first, I didn't recognize Andee's name. Many of You Scent Me's fans are total strangers (which never ceases to amaze me and for which I am truly grateful!) A little digging made me realize that Andee Howard Cui is the same Andee who works for <a href="http://www.thesage.com/" target="_blank">Majestic Mountain Sage</a> (a wonderful soapmaking supplier, best known for their ground breaking lye calculator)!<br />
<br />
Flashback to 2008. I called MMS in a frenzy because the bottle I thought was olive oil, turned out to be a blend of olive and canola oil. Soapmaking is a very exact science, and I was in a frenzy that my calculations were now totally off and my batch ruined. Tina in tech support was incredibly helpful and saved my soap from ruin. Once the batch was cured, I sent a couple of bars to "The Sage" (as it is affectionately known) as a small token of my appreciation.<br />
<br />
A short time later, I was excited to receive an email from Andee -- my soap was being featured on their <a href="http://blog.thesage.com/2009/01/06/technical-support-rocks/" target="_blank">blog!</a> (The email was simply signed 'Andee,' with no last name, and the "From" in the email only gave the company name.)<br />
<br />
Welcome Andee! It is so nice to be able to put a face to the name!<br />

We've all seen those commercials from the United States Post Office proclaiming whatever you can fit in one of their flat rate boxes (as long as it's under 70 pounds) ships for a low flat rate. This does not hold true when it comes to mailing perfume. Due to their flammable nature, fragrances containing alcohol, cannot be shipped via air (so no Priority or Express Mail). This also means that shipping perfume to Hawaii is not permitted since there are no ground shipping options to the islands. Packages containing perfume must also weigh less than 16 ounces. Recently, I shipped a package containing three one ounce bottles of perfume. Between wrapping the bottles in bubble wrap, plus packing peanuts, the package was well over a pound. I was told I'd have to rewrap the package. The post office has advised that each bottle should be shipped separately. Also, perfume containing alcohol is prohibited in international shipments.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07536373601750129112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080112143667331989.post-16977979982929703742013-01-21T15:31:00.000-05:002013-01-21T15:31:59.851-05:00Featured Customer: Kathryn Janus<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I always get melancholy when summer's over. Shorter daylight hours mean less time for outdoor activities. Fortunately some soapmaking classes hosted by Marla Bosworth of <a href="http://www.backporchsoap.com/" target="_blank">Back Porch Soap Company</a> helped take the sting out of saying goodbye to summer. Our special guest instructors were Amanda Griffin of <a href="http://www.lovinsoap.com/" target="_blank">Lovin Soap</a> and Holly Port of<a href="http://www.facebook.com/lotionbarcafesoaps" target="_blank"> Lotion Bar Cafe</a>.<br />
<br />
In the first class I attended, Amanda and Holly showed us how to make soap cupcakes, salt bar smoothies, and soap lattes.<br />
<br />
After class, a New York City Beauty Meetup was held for industry professionals at <a href="http://calleochonyc.com/" target="_blank">Calle Ocho.</a><br />
<br />
The next morning, Amanda and Holly showed us how to do a peacock swirl, hearts, and flowers.<br />

Sparkle Up specializes in glamour parties and has a full skin care and makeup line for special events.<br />
<br />
Sparkle Up is located in New City, New York. Sunday was the first time they have done an outside event. The idea for the event came from co-owner Deborah Spagnoli who feels that "beauty is ageless."<br />
<br />
Mom loved having her hair done. Another resident who was having her nails done, said that she loved having the opportunity to be pampered.<br />

On Thursday, May 31, my father-in-law Arthur Nadel passed. He was 84. Through his actions, Artie raised the bar on what it meant to be a good husband. His love and devotion to his wife Mildred is the stuff they make movies about. While Artie was in a nursing home on a rehab floor for a broken hip, he voluntary moved to spend the rest of his days in an Alzheimer's ward so his Millie would not be alone. Through 61 years of marriage, Artie and Millie were deeply, madly, passionately in love. Throughout his illness, he never cared about his own declining health, only about the well-being of his beloved Millie.<br />
<br />
In addition to Millie, he is survived by the three sons he was so proud of, Michael, Steve (Sue), and Gary (Denise), and the grandchildren he adored, Adam, Matthew, Daniel, and Lauren.<br />
<br />
Artie's funeral was on Friday. When we arrived home, there were a couple of messages on our answering machine asking if Artie had anything to do with Johan Santana pitching the first no-hitter in the history of his beloved New York Mets. We like to think he did, and if there's a heaven, he's holding court playing cards and telling his jokes to a whole new audience.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07536373601750129112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080112143667331989.post-82464117639299547502012-05-01T18:38:00.001-04:002012-05-01T18:43:31.637-04:00Follow Me on PinterestConnect with You Scent Me on <a href="http://pinterest.com/youscentme" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07536373601750129112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080112143667331989.post-62346642389808113872012-04-24T23:55:00.000-04:002012-04-24T23:55:20.697-04:00Chocolate Lovers Rejoice!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've never created a scrapbook before. For one, I’m not very artistic. I
can’t cut a piece of paper in a straight line if my life depended on it. I’m having a hard enough time finding space
for my soapmaking supplies, let alone finding room for special papers, punches
and other materials that are needed for scrapbooking, but when I received an
email from the makers of <a href="http://mymemories.com/">My Memories digital scrapbooking software</a>, asking if I’d review their software and host a
giveaway for a free copy of the software, they had me at ‘<i><b>free giveaway</b></i>.’ My
customers and blog readers are the <u>best</u> and if someone wants to give
them free stuff, who am I to argue?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
On the plus side, My Memories was very easy to set up and
install. The program comes with a bunch of templates for a variety of
occasions. If you don’t like the
templates that come with the program, you can purchase additional templates on
the <a href="http://mymemories.com/">MyMemories website</a>, or design your scrapbook from scratch. Adding photos is
easy. Simply drag & drop your photos onto the page. Like a traditional scrapbook, you can print out your digital masterpiece and save it in book form. For something really cool, you can share your scrapbook via iTunes <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Video iPods, iPhone, Apple TV, or compatible
devices.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
As a first time user, I did not find the software very intuitive. I found a template with the perfect sentiment for the scrapbook I wanted to create, but hated the colors. Unfortunately you can't change the colors of the templates. Another major drawback is when I wanted to save my scrapbook as a video. I had to download and install additional (free) software. I found this to be very time consuming.<br />
<br />
