Small Business Saturday & Cyber Monday Sale!

Greetings Lovelies! I had so much fun giving all my awesome customers a soapy sale on Black Friday that I have decided to get keep the sale going all weekend long and all the way till Midnight Cyber Monday! I will be staying close to my shop all weekend to answer any questions or take custom orders (those also get the sale price♥) 

 

Also all weekend long at different times throughout the weekend I will be creating some amazing flash sales on selected soaps! 

Why buy handmade soaps for the holidays?? 
♥ Supporting Indie & Handmade 
♥ Awesome Stalking Stuffers 
♥ Great Hostess Gifts 
♥ Looks Festive by the sink at parties. (Who needs boring & chemical filled chain store soap. Umm Yuck!)
♥ Unique & affordable Gifts 
♥ Can get a custom blended scent if your looking for that extra thoughtful present
♥ Get some for yourself! : ) Combined shipping is a great deal! 

Okay, now that I got the soapy business out of the way. I am gushing over the mega Black Friday haul I scored! I did a little in person shopping at Target to get gifts and such but then I did the real dirty work on my laptop from the comfort of my bed. I cleaned house at Modcloth, American Eagle, Forever 21, Delias, Romwe & Footnotes. I also went down to my favorite local dress boutique in Saratoga Springs called the Saratoga Sundress Company and got some super cute dresses all 50% off! The ultimate BFriday win was getting a glittery long-sleeved dress that was originally $90.00 for twelve bucks!! Got a lot of amazing pieces for my monochomatic wardrobe. ♥ I can't wait for my orders to get here! 

Did you get any amazing deals anywhere this weekend? I'd love to hear about it. I'm crazy for these online sales! 

Have a lovely day!

Origins of my Indie Company

People ask me all the time at craft shows where my bath and body name Sweet Neon comes from, so I thought I would answer this huge mystery! : ) 

 

I actually got the first inspiration from the very pretty cut flower Neon Amazon. They are so bright and pretty! I grow all the colors this flower comes in on my farm. I especially love the bright pink and purple varieties. They are such an amazing cut flower and I don't think they get a lot of mention in the floral industry.

I know the Dianthus family as a whole gets used quite often but I dont actually see this really awesome variety in floral shops very often. This is probably why I sell so much of it at the farmers market in the summer. hehehe 

   

I also loved working all the pretty fragrances for bath and body products just like I love experiencing the natural sweetness of all the cut flowers I grow every year. 

So sweet scents and neon amazon flowers turned into...

 SWEET + NEON = SWEET NEON BATH & BODY !! ♥

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! Just like that I had this new awesome obsession that I could become married to. I love love love growing flowers on my farm of course, but the long winters of the Adirondacks left me with a very large time of the year where I didn't have to be creative. One can only snowboard and hoop dance indoors for so long before feeling the pull of the need to make things! So something that was once a hobby turned into a very big professional goal. 

Have a lovely day! ♥
