Scrubalicious!
That's right. I said scrubalicious! Despite having to get up at 5 AM this morning (a time, by the way, that should be illegal for being akin to medieval torture) and a 4 hour round trip drive to take my honey to the airport after a lovely 5 day visit, the "Get Off Your Ass and Create" fairy lit a fire under my booty.
Since I wasn't about to tempt her wrath and tell her to get her Bic away from my nether regions, I decided to make some new (you got it!) scubalicious Sugar Body Polishes!
Since I was in such a creative mood, I also decided to introduce not only new body polish scents, but to introduce them in new, smaller 4 ounce jars. So, without further ado, The Fairy, her Bic and Myself are proud to present the following:
And since it's such a kick ass scent, you should try out the Tuscan Melon & Apricot Soap, too!
The other scents I was able to make and list today are French Lavender, Mojito, Mocha Java, Dark Raspberry, and Pomegranate & Sweet Orange. They're all $8.00 for 4 oz jars, but as always, I can make them in 9 oz for $12.00 if requested!
Another new soap that I couldn't wait to get listed was inspired by “blanche” (aka “la Bleue”) absinthe. Anise, sugar, juniper, spices and citrus make up a unique yet surprisingly clean smelling version of this legendary underground favorite.

Who says peer pressure is bad?
I have a confession to make. I hate cherry. Anything cherry makes me scrunch up my face and make pukey noises. That being said when Di from AuntieDis told me I needed to make a Cherry Cola soap, my tummy rolled, my face scrunched up (even though she couldn't see it), and I believe my response was "Oh hell no!"
Since I am a strong independent woman who does things her own way, it's of course no surprise that one week later, I was staring at a bottle of Cherry Cola fragrance oil, grumbling and cursing Etsy's best candle maker and her stupid Cherry Cola.
Having gotten my immaturity out in the form of groans, muttering, and fake retching, I got to work. But remember, my dear readers...I am a strong, independent woman! If I am going to give in to peer pressure, I'm going to do it on my own terms! So as I made the dreaded cherry soap from my own sensory hell, I snickered and added some chocolate fragrance. Ha! Take that, Di! Na na na boo boo.
Imagine my suprise when I decided to be brave and take a whiff. Hmmm. *sniff sniff* Hmmmm? Wow. *another sniff* That actually smells pretty good. Damn you, Di.
So, the moral of my story? I don't really have one. AuntieDis, the wench, was right. Stupid Chocolate Cherry Cola soap is pretty damn good.

Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
As the year comes to a close, I am once again reminded how lucky I am. The past 4 months have been a roller coaster, but I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I'm blessed with a loving family, wonderful friends and unbelievable customers. From the moment I thought about opening Wicked Soaps, I was terrified. Was I really going to be able to do this? Could I actually do this on my own? But the deciding factor was, I just couldn't see myself walking away from something I love. And I love Etsy. I love creating. I love soap. As strange as it sounds, soap is my passion. There's only one thing I love more than making soap, and that's hearing how much my customers love my creations. The fact that people are willing to pay for my creations is amazing. The fact that they love my creations renews my passion. I admit it...soaping is like heroin...and you guys are feeding my habit!
I never thought I'd be here...less than 2 months into my brand new shop, and sitting at over 300 sales. Thank you for letting me do what I love. Thank you for loving what I do. Best wishes to all of my lovely friends. May the new year be bright for you.

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!

Goat's Milk & Glycerin Soap: was $5.00, now $3.75
Skin Luster Body Oil: was $7.00, now $5.25

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!
