Hi everyone
Happy Spring! 🙂
**Since I revamped the site: for some browsers you may have to reload/refresh each webpage to see the new page (depends on the settings on your browser).
EDITED April 10th:The cart is working and has been up for a couple days. Please disregard any info on the cart not working in this post. I’m just going to leave the info up though (just for reference for the people that ordered during the times it was down). Thank you!
Old cart info from this post:

To protect your privacy, do not include your credit card information in your email. Thank you!
New sizes:
Sunset Cleansing Oil and also Tropical Dreams are now available in a 4 oz grande (full) size! Sunset Cleansing Oil is now being packaged in blue glass (there is no change in price for the xiao (small) size, although blue glass costs more). Also once the current batch of the xiao (small) size of the 1 ounce Tropical Dreams runs out, they will then be packaged in a larger 1.7 ounce size blue glass container (and the price will be adjusted accordingly since the new jars holds more).
If you missed my earlier blog entries, the petite (sample) vials of perfume are now packaged in a bigger vial. Also Balance toner is now packaged in plastic, with an optional blue glass mister.
New products:
Periwinkle petite (sample) and grande (full) sizes are now available! This was the color in anb mall’s Valentine’s Day sampler, and also the petite size was given as a free gift to some people in a couple of the previous specials.
TWO New Dreams: Coconut Dreams and also Chocolate Dreams. Coconut Dreams is simply certified organic, unrefined, cold pressed, virgin coconut oil (perfect for those sensitive to added fragrances). It smells dreamy, like fresh coconuts! Chocolate Dreams is certified organic, unrefined, cold pressed, virgin coconut oil blended with many delectable essential oils and absolutes, including cocoa absolute! (note: Chocolate Dreams is a light brown color due to some of the absolutes used). It smells delicious! Coconut Dreams is packaged in a 2 oz xiao or 4 oz grande size PLASTIC container. Chocolate Dreams is packaged in a 1.7 oz xiao and 4 oz grande blue GLASS jar.
Brand new: Earth Alkemie’s Buttercremes! Rich, creamy butters with fragrant essential oils and absolutes. Try Vanille Lavande Buttercreme or Uganda Buttercreme (which is the unscented version). Vanille Lavande Buttercreme and Uganda Buttercreme are made with certified organic EAST shea butter which is silkier and lighter than regular west shea butter! Certified organic east shea butter is rarer and harder to obtain than west shea (therefore more expensive). East shea butter is higher in olein than west shea. My Vanille Lavande Buttercreme is rich in natural vanilla, floral lavender, and lemony notes, with a touch of pathcouli. It smells amazing! 🙂
Butterfly Terra Elixir. I mentioned I was going to release a Luna Elixir (which will still be released soon!) but Butterfly Terra Elixir was begging to be released! Butterfly Terra Elixir is made with several berry seed oils, which are potent antioxidant powerhouses (some of the best sources of antioxidants and nutrients in the plant kingdom). It also contains orchid extract, an exquisite antioxidant. To make it even more amazing, I have added a couple other luxury and nutrient rich oils, including marula! I have added helichrysum essential oil (which has a spicy curry like, honey scent), which is one of the best ingredients to use in skin care in my opinion (for clarity; it helps the skin look amazing. It is a very potent anti-inflammatory too so very soothing). Use it to help improve skin clarity and also give your skin a super antioxidant boost! This is a potent blend; use only a few times a week, or once daily.
Hu perfume. It’s finally available (yay!): my limited edition perfume inspired by the Year of the Tiger! I have blended two kinds of jasmine absolute with rare carnation absolute and violet leaf absolute as the heart notes. This perfume is sultry, sweet, and heady, but not too heavy! I love this scent so much! If people love this too, please let me know and I will consider making it a regular scent (all of these absolutes are some of the most expensive absolutes, so it costs a lot to make this perfume–my perfumes are made at the eau de parfum concentration so the absolute/essential oil/etc concentration is much higher than a skin care product. Jasmine sambac is the only one I currently use a lot of so I buy that one in larger amounts (half an ounce to an ounce), but if people really love Hu, then I will start buying the other absolutes in larger amounts too so I have the ingredients to regularly make it (it will cost several hundred dollars to keep 1/2 ounce to an ounce of all of them regularly in stock at the same time, hence why I initially only made small amounts of it and made it a limited edition perfume). Though if it does become part of my regular line, then I’d need to work on making perfumes for the other chinese astrology signs, LOL!).
In addition to the release of my new sizes and products, I am having a sale! All orders will receive 15% off the cost of products (the discount is only on the products, and does not include shipping costs and/or taxes):
The sale will run until April 14th 11:59 PM EST. I decided for only this one sale that orders that were placed last week (starting March 28th) will get the discount too. (So discounts will be given for all orders that were placed March 28th until the end of April 14th). I am going back just this one time, since I’ve been promising to release new products for a while.
Website updates:
Last but not least I have updated the site and reorganized the categories. There are a few new categories and also sections (where I list all the uses of each product under each category. I hope this makes it easier to figure out all the uses of multi-use products such as Tropical Dreams and Uganda Buttercreme!). You can find links to the Dreams listed under many different sections (including body care. Links are also in the spot treatment and hair care sections since some–not all–of the Dreams are recommended for those uses too). Buttercremes are also listed mainly under body care, but Uganda Buttercreme is also placed under eye care too.
The Legends are now listed under gift sets (there are two Legends gift sets, and the link to the info page about the Legends is on the gift set page). The gift sets are good values since they are a little less expensive than if all the items are purchased separately, plus it comes in a pretty bag! There is a new section called ‘Ephemeral’ which are the limited edition products (currently only Hu and Karite soap are listed there). I am still taking pictures of some things. Thank you for your patience! 🙂 Please let me know what you think about the new reorganization!
Take care!
Cheers,
Li
