I'm Off and Running

Today has been especially helpful in the world of candles, lotions and scrubs.  I have a great new place to buy fantastic oils, and someone who may sell me some that aren't being used at a discount.  I have a new website to buy molds and colors from...we shall see how creative I want to get and...I have my Etsy order all readyt o be sent out tomorrow (after the candle sets) and a few candles made for here and one to give away.

I am excited for the new year and what is hopefully  a great start to this business.  Keeping it simple and only making a few things...not going to expand on a whole lot more, simply refine the products I have.

Come See What We Have...

Updating Etsy today with all the new scents and the candles. Come by and see what we have.  Remember too follow the blog so you are updated on all the great things happening.

I shipped a nice package up to Canada recently, so I do ship internationally...you don't have to be States bound to order from me.

After we move...well maybe before...I am putting together some Apple Cinnamon candles and scrubs for my nieces.  Should be lots of fun and they smell so yummy.

These are the candles in Fairy Nectar that I made for my mom.

Starting to fill Christmas Orders...

So this morning was spent starting to fill the Christmas Orders that have come in...

I had a couple of orders for some wonderful Shower Gel/Lotion combos

This fantastic Mango Coconut Lotion and Gel combo is just $8.00 for both.

Made with all Organic products and so good for your skin.

The scent is very subtle in both.  The coconut coming from coconut oil and adding an amazing undertone.

This incredible Berries and Cream is a new scent that is sure to delight.  Very subtle hints of raspberry, blackberry and vanilla waft through.

This is made with an apricot kernal oil that is light and never oily on your sking

A true favorite for any time, but especially at the holidays, Cinnamon Vanilla.  A little spice, a little home and a definite winner.

This amazing scent will remind you of all those holiday baking smells that fill the house.

After I finished filling those orders I got to work on the order below.  Almost all of those scent combinations are new combinations.  I had a great time making sure they all worked liked they should. I just hope their recipients love them as much as I did!!!!  Each scent is unique to the recipient based on the giver's thoughts of them.  Turns out my favorite was the Cinnamon Citrus.  Didn't know exactly how I was going to make that one work, but it turned out fabulous!

Remember you can stop by and order from a variety of places:

New Scents on the Way

Thanks to my wonderful friend and mentor (in the real world) Valerie Lott, I have new scents on the way.  Her favorite scents are eucalyptus, tea tree and rosemary...nice and earthy.  Very much her.  One of the best things she taught me, well there were a lot, but one that I remember every day, is to take time to enjoy the small things. The scents you love, the moments that make you smile, and the even the ones you learn from.

So with a FaceBook post from her about what her favorite scents are, I decided to expand out.  I want to keep her happy after all.  Coming soon will be lotions, scrubs, oils and salts with a bit of an earthy tone to them.  As always I can mix and match whatever it is you want, now you just have a broader choice.

Happy Weekend

I have a wonderful weekend planned.  I am going to get started on the baking for 4th of July and see what scents that inspires in me.

I have just sent out the shipments ordered this week, so if you ordered, first thank you and second they are on their way!!!!

If you could have any scent created in a lotion, bath salt or sugar scrub what would it be?

Tell me...one lucky commenter will win their creation of choice.  Contest ends July 15.

New Stuff

So I had some time today and decided to try a few new scents. My new lotion product hasn't come in so this lotion is the same base I have been using. Which is amazing and I have to give credit to Elements. They have an incredible product.





So I started with a lotion (my favorite) and decided something fruity and islander like was in order. It is 100 degrees outside so that made sense to me. The end result...Raspberry Coconut Lotion. Light scent, not over bearing or with heavy notes either direction. A very light pink tint to the lotion itself makes it slightly feminine in nature.




The other product was all island and all about being steeped in luxury. Coconut Sugar Scrub. This says it all. To top it off it is all organic and vegan. Using organic cold pressed coconut oil and vegan cane sugar I put together this delectable delicacy for taking your shower to the islands.

Along the way today my darling Lola decided she needed in on the action. As always when I'm on a roll or in the middle of something (especially in the kitchen) she has her nose, and tongue, in the middle of it.

Stop by the store (see the feed and links in the side bar) and pick up a taste of the tropics.

New Stuff Ordered

I have been using a base for my lotions that is pre-made. I love the base, but have been looking for an easy way to make my own...and I have found it!  I can't wait to give it a try.  I have ordered the necessary ingredients to begin my own experiments.  All ingredients were organic certified and by the time I am done the whole thing will be all organic and all natural.  As a matter of fact the vanilla/brown sugar lotion, well that is practically edible.

And the chocolate sugar scrub, well that is edible :)

Can't wait to share that the latest and greatest products with you as we start on a whole new adventure.

Welcome to A Touch of Magick

Good morning.  Today is the start of something wonderful.  I have had my business up and running for just a few weeks, and things are going well.  I have decided that part of what I am missing though is a connection.  A space where I can talk about how things are going, where I can meet others who are, kinda, like me. Those with a passion for the natural, the handmade and the luxurious feel that comes with creating your own bath and body products.  In my case perhaps those who also believe, just a bit in something more.

A Touch of Magick was born out of the need for something new in my life.  Something that helped my creative outlet feed itself.  I also needed better products for my skin and the skin of my boys.  Something not overly expensive and yet organic and healthy for them.  Hence the search.  Out of that search came the idea that I could make this.  Oils, salts, lotions, sugar scrubs...all of those things.  And I could infuse some positive thoughts and ideas into them as I was making them...a little magick so to speak.

This idea has expanded and been something for me to use when I need an outlet not just for creativity but for silence, away time and just fun.

I hope you will join me on this journey and stick around for some exciting things!
