The Direction of 2010

I just wanted to take a minute to share with you my direction for Bodyluxe by Shawna for 2010. 2009 was a totally awesome year, and I hope to take what I've learned and improve on it even further.

My goals for 2010:
* Streamline products into several great fragrances and offer a matching line - Old Fashioned Bar Soap, Moistureluxe Lotion, Bath Candy, Soy Spa Candles and Body Buttercream.

* Feature a new fragrance each month, corresponding to the season, with a potential discount on the monthly fragrance.

* Offer 2 sizes of Soy Spa Candles in glass, rather than the current tins, for all the candle lovers out there. They will be elegant, yet affordable, and clean burning.

* Expand the product line to include a gel type liquid soap that is natural - no detergents like the store brands. (Testing currently in progress)

* Expand the specialty product line to include an ultra lotion for those who suffer from skin irritations such as psoraisis, eczema and super dry skin rashes.

* Reinforce the notion to the world that handmade is wonderful, and share my love of crafting and soap science with anyone who will listen.

I hope to find your continued love and support as I expand my knowledge and offer great products at affordable prices for everyone in your life. <3

Product Spotlight - Body Buttercream

What better way to tame the awful, dry skin of the harsh winter weather we're having than with a good dose of Body Buttercream. Its available in any fragrance that I can do lotions in, as well as unscented for sensitive skin.

A luscious blend of natural avocado, mango and shea butters that melt in contact with your skin, Bodyluxe by Shawna's Body Buttercream glides onto your skin smoothly and soaks in quickly for minimal greasiness. This buttercream is a favorite to be used after shaving or in the cold dryness of winter. It is also great at bedtime to give you refreshingly soft skin by morning. A little goes a long way!


On a personal note - my daughters and I use this religiously after shaving. It gives a nice layer of moisture to keep razor burn from attacking our legs, and we smell great all morning, too! The Black Raspberry & Vanilla or Creamy Vanilla are our favorites.

Fragrance Spotlight - Lavender & Vanilla

What better way to relax than with the warm, inviting scent of lavender and vanilla. Lavender has long been praised for its ability to calm the mind and body. Vanilla is warm and sensual, and together they make a very cozy combination.

Lavender & Vanilla is a popular fragrance, and its available in Moistureluxe Lotion, Old Fashioned Bar Soap, Body Buttercream and Bath Candy, as well as Soy Spa Candles and Airluxe Gel Scents.

New Product Spotlight - Bath Candy

These cute little hearts are the perfect addition to your "me time." Just drop one into a tub of warm water and watch it fizz gently as it melts into an indulgent bath oil, perfect for relaxing in while your skin softens beautifully.

The Bath Candy are made from Cocoa, Mango and Avocado butters and some of the most popular fragrances. Send some to your sweetheart with a bottle of wine and some chocolates, and you'll surely win favor points!
