Why do they call it Black Friday?

Is it due to the all the crowds?  Is it supposed to be depressing?  I guess I could google it, but I don't care that much.  What I care about is the savings!  I've taken advantage of some already, but all from the comfort of my home.  Ok, that's a lie.  I'm at work today, so how about from the comfort of my desk while I surf the net on company time?  I'm such a bad employee, but really, what do they expect when they make me work on the day after Thanksgiving? 

Woodland Elves Goats Milk Soap Bar, normally $5.50, marked down to $4.40

But what is better than not having to leave the comfort of your own home to get some freaking fantastic deals?!  Nothing, I tell you!  Which is why I decided to have a Black Friday sale in my Etsy shop.  Because I want to share the laziness!  I'm even upping the ante...you don't even have to enter a coupon code to get any deals in my shop...I've marked all the prices down for you!  A few clicks and you're done.  Click, click, click...boom!  Wicked smell-goods show up on your door step!  Well, not that quickly, I'm just one chick making everything for you, but you get the idea.

Frosted Cranberry Goats Milk Soap Cube, was $5.50, marked down to $4.40

So...save 20% on your entire purchase today through Sunday at 3am (I love choosing random times to end my sales).  Remember, no coupon codes, just click, click,  click...boom!  It's THAT easy :)

Vanilla Noir Perfume Oil, was $8.00, marked down to $6.40

Happy Holidays!!

Thankfulness and Black Friday Sale

There are so many, things I am thankful for this year...but my #1 is my boy, my sweet, awesome, rockin', absolutely fantastic 7 year old son, Aidan.  You can see him below with his hot, rockin' momma ;-).

As my fellow American's are aware, tomorrow is the day known as Black Friday.  The day that millions of crazy ass people get up before the ass crack of dawn to go fight through crowds and line up with other crazy ass people in order to buy things on sale.  I am not one of those crazy ass people.  I like sleep.  I don't get enough sleep.  I am NOT  interrupting my sleep to stand in line outside of Macy's in 20 degree weather at 4 am behind some chick with a sleeping bag and scary gleam in her eye... If you're like me, you'll be happy to hear this...

WickedSoaps is having a Black Friday sale!  Save 15% on everything in the shop when you use the code "blackfriday" at check-out.  That's right.  15% off EVERYTHING. And best of all?  You don't have to leave your house!

Arctic Ice Limited Edition Soap

Sweet Pumpkin Eggnog Body Polish - Emulsifying Sugar Scrub

How do you measure a year?

Green Irish Tweed Sugar Body Polish

Tomorrow is a very special day in the life of WickedSoaps...it's the 1 year anniversary of opening my Etsy shop!  One year ago tomorrow on November 5th, thanks to so many of my good friends, I decided to give my new handmade bath and body business a chance and opened up WickedSoaps on Etsy.  This last year has been absolutely amazing! 

I just can't help it...I...must...sing!  *breaks into song*

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?
 
Ahem.  *bows*  Thank you, thank you very much.  I have no idea why I'm selling soap, I obviously have a future on Broadway, right? 

Spiced Eggnog Gift Basket - An AuntieDis and WickedSoaps Collaboration

Well, I dunno about you guys, but for me, this last year has been measured in bars of soap, jars of lotion, tubs of scrub and all other smell goods of the Wicked persuasion being sold.  And how did I measure this last year, kittens?  By 2,053 sales and counting! 

In honor of that, I am throwing a 5 day long Etsyversary Sale!  November 5th (the day I opened my Etsy shop) through November 9th (the day I listed and sold my first item) save 20% on everything in the shop AND get free shipping on all orders of $50 or more (you know how it works...$50 in product, does not include shipping prices, no custom or wholesale orders, yada yada). 

The best part of this?  It's just in time for you to stock up on goodies for holiday gift-giving!

Thirsty Thursday Sale!

It's almost the end of the week and I'm already thinking about kicking back with a cold beer or two. I think a sale is in order! 

Save 20% on any order of $20.00 or more at WickedSoaps, today only! Your savings will be refunded via Paypal when you use code "Thirsty Thursday" in notes to seller when you check out!

Tell your family, your Twitter buds, your Facebook friends, Robert Pattinson.  If you see Rob, please tell him I may be 32, but I still get carded for beer, so I must look younger...you know, if he's interested ;-).

$1 Shipping Sale! Or maybe the Free Balling Sale?...

You know those rap videos where it shows that giant ass car rolling and bouncing down the road?  They spend god only knows how much to put special struts or suspension (or since I don't speak Car and Driver we'll just call it bouncy stuff) on their car.  HA!  Suckers.  I have that same bounce to my car and I got it absolutely free!  AND it came with a side of shimmy!  Now all I need is a great stereo system to blast out my music with the bass loud enough to rattle windows the next town over.  That's right...I'm pretty fly for a white girl.

As much as I'd like to keep my gangsta rap girl image, I'm afraid I need to get rid of the bounce and shimmy.  Therefore I'm taking my car in this weekend for new tires and what I believe will be new struts and probably ball bearings.  And because I'm a poor chick with a questionable sense of humor, I decided not to do stand-up comedy to raise funds, but instead have a sale in my Etsy shop.

Because I'm naughty, risque, and kind of a dirty girl, I seriously thought about calling this my "Free Balling and Strutting Sale."  Buuuuuut, I thought that might be crossing right over the line from naughty to plain old perverted.  (But since I am a weeee little bit perverted, I've started a line called Big Ass Balls of Soap...check them out!)

Great Balls of Fire - Sweet Orange Chili Pepper Big Ass Ball of Soap

In order to preserve my professional image, I decided to just call it my $1 Dollar Shipping Sale!  Not as exciting, I know, but seriously, it's still fabulous!!

Every domestic order ships for only $1 and Canadian orders ship for $2 no matter your purchase amount! No code needed, no waiting for refunds. Shipping prices already reflect the sale so you can just shop and go! A great excuse to stock up on your favorites or perhaps try that new scent you've been drooling over!

Sale runs through Sunday, May 23rd at 11:59PM EST.


Just go to WickedSoaps or click on that pretty, pretty soap at the top of the page and it will take you to my Etsy shop where you can get your shopping groove on!

Who doesn't love a threesome?

Oh, you naughty, naughty kittens....I know where your minds went.   But fortunately (or unfortunately?) instead of being dirty, I'm actually referring to something very clean...literally!

Happy Star Wars Day!

Being the Star Wars fan that I am, I can't just let this day go uncelebrated.  It would be a travesty, a crime against George Lucas, and really...how can I not admire Han Solo for the day?  Hellllllo, Mr. Hotness!


So, in honor of Star Wars Day, stop by WickedSoaps and when you buy any 3 items, you get the 4th item FREE!  Sale runs through May 4th at Midnight! 

May the Fourth be with you!

What do you say to 25% off?

It's been absolutely gorgeous here in Michigan the last couple of weeks...temperatures in the high 50's to almost 70.  The trees are starting to bud and we've had *gasp* sunshine!  All the lovely weather has lit a fire under my butt and I decided it's time to clean out the shop.

I've been ordering more delicious and beautifully scented fragrances that make me think Spring and also moved over 15 items to my Clearance section and marked them down 30% to 40% off! 

Take advantage of my Spring Fever and the cleaning bug and stock up on some Wicked products!

WickedSoaps on Artfire, You Say?

Why yes...yes, I do say!  After some prodding, pushing and let's be honest here, good old fashioned peer pressure, I finally decided to branch out and open an Artfire shop.  My shop is still on Etsy because I absolutely LOVE Etsy, but I figured there's no harm in having more than one web presence!

Year End Sale....What a Wicked Holiday Season!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas morning. My kiddo and I are watching Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith...one of his gifts from Santa. Yep, my little guy is a huge Star Wars geek and I love him for it! He made out like a bandit this year....a PS2, 2 new games for it, an iPod already full of music, and of course his Star Wars DVDs, just to name a few.



I can't tell you how wonderful this Holiday Season has been for me. In the 50 days since Wicked Soaps opened (well, 46 really, since I didn't start listing items until Nov. 9th), we've had 281 sales...that's an average of over 6 sales a day. Unbelievable for a brand new shop. In my wildest dreams, I didn't imagine success like this so soon. I can't even begin to thank all of my customers.

In honor of such a freaking awesome opening holiday season, I've decided to have a Year End Sale. Everything in the shop is marked down 25% (except Gift Sets, which are marked down 15%) December 25-December 31! No waiting for Paypal refunds or revised invoices, no need to enter any sale code, just shop and go!

12 Days of Christmas

On the 6th day of Christmas, my true love bought for me, 6 body oils, fiiiiiiiiiiiiive Naaaaaaked Sooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaps, four body butters, three scrub cubes, two perfume oils and a stocking full of Wicked Goodness!

Haha...I'm not a composer or song-writer, so please don't shoot me for that. The truth of the matter is, I'm late making this blog post, it should have been done 6 days ago when we still had 12 days left. I suppose my tardiness is to your benefit, though...you only had to sit through my rendition of 6 days of Christmas versus 12 ;-)

Ahem, back to the matter at hand. Wicked Soaps is running a spectacular, fantastic, wonderful (you get the idea) 12 Days of Christmas Sale! Through Friday, December 18th, take 15% off your entire order at www.WickedSoaps.etsy.com. No code needed. If you make a purchase, I automatically refund you 15% of your purchase price (you know the drill...it doesn't include shipping costs).

You can either pay and receive the refund or you can convo me and let me know you would like a revised invoice prior to paying. I'm pretty easy! Either works for me!

It's been a while since I last blogged and in that time I've added many new scents and products to Wicked Soaps!
