Month: September 2011

Hi everyone

I finally finished updating the website, yay! I’d like to thank my customers for their patience (I have been working on the website for weeks!)

There are two new sections on the website: DIY and raw ingredients, and also a section called containers and supplies. In the DIY and raw ingredients section there is a small selection of raw ingredients for your DIY (Do It Yourself) and crafting needs. In the containers and supplies section there are a few bottles and jars. Supplies are limited and more raw ingredients and containers will be added in the coming weeks, so please check back later! 🙂 I will be blogging about the current offerings over the next few weeks.

The xiao (small) and grande (full) sizes of Swan Luna Elixir are now on the site! Swan is the elixir I created for Hamsa. A special petite (sample) size is still available in one of the current samplers too.

The samplers will be available on the website until October 7th. I was going to take the samplers off the website weeks ago but since many customers asked me to keep them on, I kept them on the website. Since I was closed for a week in September and took a while to update the website, I am keeping them up until October 7th, 11:59 pm EST. They will no longer be available after that date (since I will be having other/different specials during the fall and winter months). There are five samplers, and they are all 10-36% off their regular prices. You can read about them all in previous blog entries (the blog entry for the last sampler, Nirvana sampler, will be posted this week).

I am still sending out FREE 1 oz sizes of Outdoor Oils with orders over $15 (which does not include shipping fees and taxes). They will continue to be sent out until they run out. I only have a few Picnic and Lemongrass Forest left (I ran out of Woodlands).

Balance toner is also back in stock. This wonderful toner is an ephemeral (limited edition) product.

I put Warrior Aromatherapy liquid cleanser back in stock during the summer.

Next on the agenda over the next several weeks, more raw ingredients and containers, and a couple other goodies… 🙂

If you’ve tried any unreleased products (that I either sent out with orders, or any of the unreleased perfumes) I’d love to hear more feedback on those products. (Would you like them to become Earth Alkemie products? What did you like about those products? What didn’t you like? What did you think about the texture, glide, scent? What effects did it have on your skin?)

I will also be participating on anb (all natural) beauty mall’s fall and winter sampler this year. (I believe this will be available on anb mall in either late October or maybe early November, so keep check anb mall for the sampler, and to read my eco living articles too!).

Bananas are some of the most useful and underrated ingredients in skin care. Here is my newest eco living article on a recipe for a simple banana mask! This leaves the skin feeling super soft and is really easy to make!

And if you don’t like to diy or want to use a mask with a longer shelf life, then just wait a few weeks: Chocolate Banana Berry Mask…need I say more? 😛

This past week has been a week of remembrance, love, sadness, regret, and also some bright moments too.

Thank you to all my customers for their thoughts and prayers for my family; many of your posts, emails, and cards touched my heart. L.P. I know you are in Heaven looking down upon us. I will always remember you.

Remembering all those that passed a decade ago on 9-11. Gone but not forgotten.

Happy birthday W, and congrats again on your graduation E.

I am feeling a myriad of emotions now: pain, sadness, love…. Earth Alkemie will be closed during this week, due to a death in the family, and to spend some time with my family.

I won’t be able to ship any orders at this time. It may take me a few days to answer emails and forum posts too.

Earth Alkemie will reopen/start shipping again on next monday (September 12). Thank you for understanding.

Just wanted to post that I am out of Woodlands Outdoor Oil, so the only freebie 1 oz Outdoor Oils (with orders over $15, not including shipping and tax) left are Picnic and Lemongrass Forest. I still have several bottles of Picnic left, and a few bottles of Lemongrass Forest. I will continue to give out one 1 ounce Outdoor Oils with orders this month as long as they are available. 🙂

I am still getting the website ready to launch containers and ingredients (it always takes me longer than I think to release new items but I am excited). I will only have a handful of items up for now but will be adding more on the site later (keep reading this blog for updates, since they will be added erratically as time permits). After adding containers and ingredients, next up on the agenda will be working on getting new products up (including the xiao and grande sizes of Swan Luna Elixir) so I am happy about that as well (I will need to make the final batches, do labeling, packaging, pictures and the website for that so hopefully will get that up by the middle of the month).

I am still awaiting some hydrosols for Balance toner, and also some hydrosols for Purity toner to arrive, so for now Balance is still off the website (I still have a few bottles of Purity toner left so haven’t taken that off of the site yet). Sorry for the long wait.
