Price increases?? NOT happening
here!
Have you noticed the prices of everything lately?? Not just
gas that's now hovering around $3.65 a gallon, but how about when you go to the grocery store and just about any product
has jumped a dollar or more? And it's not just groceries either...I went to Menards yesterday to buy another new
container for my labels - the same container I had bought just two weeks ago for $8.99 was now $10.98! And it wasn't
on sale when I first bought it, that was the normal price. That's a 22% increase!
If I raised my soap
prices by 22% that would add another $.99 to each bar.
But I'm not. I refuse. Enough is enough
and I will fight it as long as I can! This world has gone crazy and I'm not participating in the craziness.
Even though my supplier prices for oils and ingredients have increased, I will not pass along the
increases.
So, you can still count on getting wonderful, pampering, handmade soap at a reasonable price.
"Reasonable" being the key word. : )
P.S. Even with the recent postage increase,
I'm gonna "eat" the extra dollar it costs to send flat rate boxes.

Exciting News!!
Our soap has been approved by the members of the National Health & Wellness Club!!
I sent out 675 bars of soap to 225 members in
March, and at least 2/3 of them needed to give it an "approved" rating for it to receive Club approval.
It'll be featured in their July/August issue in the Product Testing section. That means I get to use their Seal
of Approval too, which is great news.
I didn't expect to hear the news so quickly, and it surprised me to show
up in my email today. I thought it would take a few more months, but testing and approval only took about 7 weeks.
If you're a member of the National Health & Wellness Club, I thank you for taking the time
to test, fill out the forms and approving the soap (and there will be a special offer for you on the NHWC website).
If you're not a member (and you should be, go to www.healthandwellnessclub.com), why not give the soap a try today...I'm sure you won't regret it! They didn't! : )
