Delays and Deliberations

Good Afternoon!!

I have been chatting about this off and on for the past 3 months and have decided that rather than shutting my fragrance oil site down temporarily; it is going the way of the Dodo. Looking at some of the transactions that are going on via PayPal and all of the theft I feel that mail order or e-mail order is the way that I am going for a while. I will be able to offer more fragrances and bigger sizes than what I am able to do right now. So, that catalogue will début at the end of August.

I am only making two Christmas soaps and lotions this year. 2013 saw Christmas Cookie. I am not sure what all I am going to do this year but I will be epic!! Silver Bells was a hit for 2012 and 2013 so I know that these 2 that I have in mind will also knock the nostril socks off of my customers as well.

Lately, I have been focusing more on video blog entries because I like that I can give you a better visual of my products. Those will be continuing in the future since I am shutting down my Facebook pages. I am not sure if I will just close them down for a little while or if I am leaving FB all together. I have to find another platform that will not hamstring me as much as FB has. We shall see.

As for fragrance reviews, I don't have any. I have been creating blends to be tested out by a few companies to give me an idea of what I want to offer in 2016. I hope to have their feedback by August 15th so I can make up my minds before I finalize my catalogue for next year.

Thank you all for your support.

YouTube Videos

Good Afternoon, Rose Garden!!!!

I know that I haven't been all that active here in the blogsphere. After August I will be deactivating my Facebook accounts; therefore I have been beefing up my YouTube posts and videos. You can follow me on IG and YouTube. Starting next month I will also start mailing out newsletters. If you want to stay connected and informed then send me an e-mail at, thechandlersrose12@gmail.com.

Love you lots and am looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Rose Garden!!

Two posts in the same week?! She must be motivated!! And I am. I have completed The Chandler’s Rose e-catalogue that will be mailed in August and I have created 24 new blends. Yay, me!! My Fragrance of the Month testers are ready for them to be shipped and I am ready to read their notes and critiques. This is the main reason why I went into business in the first place, the contact from other business people and their letting me know if I am on the right track or not.

I also have a new YouTube video up. Yep, that is correct I just said that I have a video up on YouTube.

 I just have to keep my yammering to under 7 minutes and I will be able to post from my phone. Where there is a stubborn will there is a way. ;) The categories for these blends are Holiday, Memories and Desserts. Whenever I am denied something in my personal life I make up for it in my professional life. When I was single and horny I came up with Cigars and Bourbon ™ and when I wanted to eat sweets but couldn’t I created Strawberry Patchouli. Well, I am in training for the next 5k and will not be able to indulge like I want to so more dessert fragrances. Bahahahahaa!!! *quiet sob and sniffle*

 

Fragrance Reviews

Amazon Mist (Rustic Escentuals) – A clean and light fragrance with a hint of sugar. It blends well and can be lost if used with too heavy of a fragrance. It can also tone a migraine inducing FO waaayyyy down!! This one is actually a real keeper.

Red Hot Banana (Rustic Escentuals) - Top notes Banana and Caramel and Base note Cinnamon. This one I would highly recommend using at 0.5% - 1% ratio of overall recipe. This is a tricky one to blend The Cinnamon can overpower your entire blend. When testing this one out I used1 part Red Hot Banana to 4 parts Sweet Orange EO and the Cinnamon was still very strong. **This one has an orangey caramel color to the FO so it will probably discolor your soap/shower gel/lotion.**

Thanks
