Big News on the Market Front!!!

The 39th Annual Arts & Crafts festival at the Garden & Arts Center has been moved to September 19th from 9am - 6pm. This is great news! This gives everyone a chance to come see me twice this month!! Woohoo!!!

I will be located at the Downtown Art Market on September 12th from 9am - 3pm, hopefully in the usual spot. Come see me there and partake in the great fresh produce from our local farmers and other area arts and crafts. There are some truly great artists out there!

Then the next weekend - September 19th from 9am to 6pm - I will be set up by the GAC Sign under a tree. Just look for my signature purple booth. There will be great artists and crafters, live music and great food. Since its only once a year, this is definitely worth coming to see. I can't wait to talk with you there!

Product Spotlight - Pedi Perfect Foot Polish

Bodyluxe by Shawna's Pedi Perfect Foot Polish will take care of your dry feet, making them soft and happy once again. Use it several times a week - rub it on in the shower or bath then rinse thoroughly. The creamy blend of oils, real peppermint and pumice will work their wonders making your tootsies breathe a sigh of relief.

I formulated this particular product for my own feet - I have a bad habit of running around barefoot all year round, outside too! My feet dry out really bad and the rough patches are killer. Just a few times a week in the shower really helps with this. I always use the foot cream at night too, to soften as I sleep.

Follow it up with my special Pedi Perfect Foot Cream for a combination that your footsies can't live without!

Gearing up for the Fall Festival

This month, rather than being at the Downtown Art Market this month, I will be at the Garden & Arts Center's Fall Festival on September 12th. While I'll be enjoying all of the food and entertainment going on, I'll also have almost my full line of products with me, so long as the weather holds. Here is what the Garden & Arts Center say about the 39th Annual Fall Festival:

"The Fall Arts Festival is a family-oriented arts festival that includes more than 100 vendors selling handcrafted items, all day entertainment on the main stage, art demonstrations and concession booths. This event has traditionally attracted more than 10,000 visitors and this year we are hoping to make the festival bigger and better than ever. Vendors have traditionally offered such items as jewelry, clothing, hand made items and other fine arts and crafts."

Several new soaps will be making their debut at the Garden & Arts Festival. Skyfire, Sea Mist, and Lilac Breeze, as well as my Daily Facial Bar. I have also made more of the Kitchen Citrus Scrubby Soap, too!

I intend to bring my Body Buttercream to sample and sell, as well as the Pedi Perfect combos. Its going to be a great month, and I am really looking forward to a day at the Garden & Arts Center. Won't you come join me at Clapp Park on September 12th? :)

Product Spotlight - Body Buttercream

The Product Spotlight is where I'm going to feature a different product every now and again, to give you a chance to learn more about it! This time we'll start with the Body Buttercream. Its available in several different fragrances - just let me know what your fave is since they're not all on the website yet, you can use the comment option to request a fragrance on the order form.

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 dry heat of summer. 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 Mango & Papaya are our favorites.

In the Soap Pot

What's been in the soap pot lately, you ask? Well let me show you!

This is Skyfire - a neutral blend of Amber, Vanilla and Musk. Its got a very light fragrance to it, a must have for everyone! The lotion is to die for, probably my new favorite.





This particular soap is Sea Mist. Its a very clean blend of Ozone, Mint and Rain. Very refreshing, its great for anyone's shower or sink!






This is my new Daily Facial Soap. It contains Bentonite clay to help dry out extra oil, and has worked very well on the teenage acne that lives in our household. It won't over-dry, and you can always pair it with my daily facial lotion for ultimate softness.





Lilac Breeze! A perfect compliment to the lotions and Airluxe Gel Scents that I've already been making. It reminds me of smelling lilacs in summer through my kitchen window. Totally wonderful!






This pretty much completes my spread of soaps for now - until fall and winter rolls around :)

Another Blazing Success!

I just totally love the Downtown Art Market. Not only am I a vendor there, but I had a blast shopping at all the different stands there yesterday. I came home with 2 more plants for my back yard, a bag of sweet onions, a cantaloupe and I bought my husband an amazing gourd that had been painted to look as if a dragon is hatching from it. Where else but Lubbock can you find such great variety?

I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by an visited me at my booth this month - I hope you enjoy your soaps and lotions, and I hope to see you at the Fall Festival at Clapp Park next month, or back at the Downtown Art Market again in October. I promise to have yet more new soaps and lotions for you to try!

Almost Downtown Art Market Time Again!

I can't believe it, time sure flies when you're busy as all heck! I've been really working the past couple of weeks on getting ready for the Lubbock Downtown Art Market on August 8th. If the weather holds, I may be able to bring a few more product types from my line this month. If its hot, well.. I can't have it melting.

Having said this - I am taking orders in advance for you to pick up at the DAM on August 8th. If there are any products you'd like to have (that might melt such as my Body Buttercream or Soy Spa Candles) please let me know. You can pay in advance if you like, or at the market, and I'll have it bagged up and made ready, especially for you! This is also a great way to get your hands on one of my new gift boxes that are not even listed on the website yet (1 soap, 1 lotion, 1 super soft washcloth of your choice all contained in a beautiful display for $14 - ready for gift giving!). Just email me (bodyluxe@gmail.com) and let me know what you need. I'll make sure its there and ready for you! I will keep it in a cooler until you can come and collect it if the weather tries to bake us until we're crispy again this month.

I hope to see everyone there next weekend, and bring your friends and family, too! I hear that the farmers will be present again as well with this month's freshly harvested fruits and veggies. I can't wait!
