Blog Sale Soon!

Hey Guys,
I hope all is well. While in the shower today (thats where I clear my head and have the best ideas) I thought it would be fun to have a blog sale. One of my friends Dana Lajeunesse had one a while back and on Twitter I see people doing it all the time. I wanted to do an exclusive preview of all of our new products that are not yet on the site. They will not make their way to the website until about 2 weeks from now.

We will also be changing our server to one that can handle more volume. When too many people are shopping on the site the shopping cart disappears or people get error messages. That will take place sometime next week, so we will be closing up shop for a couple of days next week until we get all the information transferred over. We will be doing an online launch to our new home.

Also, I will be looking for more green alternatives to our packaging. I was watching this movie called Tapped, you should really check it out. It had me thinking that we have all a role in preserving the planet and part of that is eliminating plastic waste that is showing up in our fish and also the chemicals that are lacing the containers. So even when we are thinking we are making good healthy decisions they is always something else. We are now recycling in our home, and being more cautious with our purchases. We never thought twice about where it was going and we will now make more conscious decisions. We are also thinking that maybe we can do a buy back program at Bubble Babez of plastic containers. I am definately going to get more proactive on matters like this. We are all responsible for making this Earth safe for our children and our children's children.

Be blessed,
Nik

AGES!

Gee Wiz! LOL I just wanted to say that! But it has been ages since I been on this blog to update it. I sincerely apologize, I had plans for myself to get this done and to be organized but life as usual got in the way! There is a saying by Woody Allen "Wanna make God laugh, tell him about your plans!" Indeed true. I wrote it down, remembered and still didnt get to it. There were just so many other things to do lol. Well since I last blogged, I have been reading the secret and created a Tumblr to document my life and hopefully by the end of the year I notice a significant difference in myself.

Well, whats new at Bubble Babez Bath Company? Plenty! We have finally come out with our bath sets dedicated to my friends since the holiday is about LOVE! LOL I will come back with a post to show all the pics :)

We are introducing shower gels, whipped body mousse, whipped sugar scrubs & body splashs. My aunt Diana ( I call her Dee Dee) has been on me since we opened the company to do shower gels. She would tell me "I did a poll when I was out and asked how many people are bath people and how many are shower people?", I would always laugh it off and say its coming, its coming. She would drop such subtle hints like, give me shower gels to look at their ingredients, send me empty shower gel containers in the mail and bring me empty containers from the trial shower gel I was attempting lol. So its safe to say she finally got her way lol. The shower gels are paraben and sulfate free! I have really been thinking of ways to go more green and I will be making changes throughout the year.

I have watched this movie Tapped about the water that we get for free, that we pay for and where all of the plastics end up. I am thinking of a send back program or something like that to recycle. The plastic pellets are ending up in the fish we eat everywhere. So I think we need to make more conscience decisions about recycling and keeping the planet going for the generations that come after us. If we keep things up this way we wont have one. So I definately want to do my part.

If you have any "green" suggestions for me I am interested and would love to hear what you have to say.

I am working on something big for expectant mothers and I am super excited about it. I think you all will love what I come up or at least I hope you will :) One of my friends on Twitter has been asking me for months, when I was coming out with a baby line. I am ready now and I will be incorporating my sewing chops as well. I always have to sew something lol.

I am on my way out to the store to get baskets for the Valentine's Day Collections if you have not checked them out yet http://bubblebabez.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=ValentinesDay&Sub=71&isThumbs=Yes&Thumbs=200

There is something there for everybody!

Well I hope you all have a blessed and productive day!
Nik

So Tired! but Good Tired!

Our set up @ the market!

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to blog a little to fill you in on whats going on right now lol. I have been working tiredlessly to get the holiday collection out and I am almost there. There are not enough hours in the day lol. The holiday collection will have something for everyone and I made sure that we had plenty of stocking stuffers as well! :)

I made my first soap cakes 2 were successful and 1 was a complete fail lol.

I also tried my hand at whipped shea butter. I think I am not going to release it for a while to make sure I iron out all the kinks. Its all natural, no preservatives! It made my skin feel amazing its an alternative to the lotion bars that I LOVE lol. The whipped shea butter melts in your hands when you rub them together LITERALLY! It makes application so much easier and smoother. When your skin absorbs it, u feel silky smooth! I am still feeling all over my arms and they feel amazing!

We have also been at the market selling our products! This was our first full weekend, Tristan's been working at the market and I have been home developing products for the Holiday line and replenishing the products sold :) We have another market to do for staff at a company on Monday. Im excited about it :)

Orders are taking 3-7 days for processing and shipping but we promise it will all be worth the wait. We thank you all for your support and love it means alot to us. We are growing and its just exciting and stressful at the same time. My goal is to be on Oprah! :)and to be a household name!
Thats all for now! I will be back probably tomorrow night and letting you guys know how the market went. Also, I am up all night putting up my Holiday Sets on the website and Artfire!

Til later,
Nik

Our Christmas Collection will be out shortly! Really good things to look out for. We have Connie's Sno Balls that are bath bombs. She gave me the idea to do ice cream flavored bath bombs and I am going to incorporate Christmas with it. My bath bombs are different from many that I have seen on the market. I do not plan on skimping on any ingredients this is the formula that I am sticking with. Our bath bombs are 4 in 1 treat for your body:

• Bubble Bath
• Detoxifing Salts Soak
• Completely Moisture Rich
• Luxury Yogurt Milk Bath

The Sno Balls are not yet available on the site, but will be up by next week. If you are longing to try one of our bath bombs you can try out our bath cupcakes or mini cupcakes.

A few collections that will be added just in time for the holidays are:
Alondra's Sensual Seduction Set- I will be adding the soap and lotion bar to the bath cupcake. I made the soap and it was supposed to be out a while ago but I didnt like the design I created! So back to the drawing board, I am recreating it for the holidays!

The Barbie Boy Collection- Pink fluffy bubble gum is the fragrance! The Bubble Yum Fun soap is now retired and brought back to life by my booski Dollface Barbie! This will be a limited collection and will feature the label that he designed just for his set.

Love yall

P.S. Special love and thanks to Alondra and Dana! You guys are the best and keep me on my toes!

Experimenting

Hey Guys,

Its been some time since I posted a blog entry, but I am happy to say that I have been busy! I am so thankful to have all of your love and support it means alot to me. I hope that you all are enjoying the products. If there is anything that I can do to improve products or service I would love to hear your suggestions.

I have been pondering over the idea of creating an Etsy Store, I have also heard about another website called Artfire and I think that I am going to try both and see how that works for me. I have also been experimenting with new products and I am so excited at the outcome. This product is called "Cheesecake Brownie" and its a goats milk soap. It looks good enough to eat and it smells just as delicious but you can not eat them! LOL I guess this would be good diet soap lol since you would not like the taste of soap LOL.

We also have a HUGE contest coming up and the video should be up today Oct.29 2010 there will be 5 lucky winners!

I am about done with this post but will be back soon with more updates and products. Dont forget if you have not tried our Spiced Pumpkin Latte set you should give it a try it is De-Lish! I wasnt a pumpkin fan until then! It smells amazing.

Love yall,

Nik

Halloween is here!

Good Morning Guys,
This Blog and getting me on track has really been a work in progress! LOL. I am so late on updates and new products. Yes, I am always saying I have to get better and work on getting myself on a schedule, *fingers crossed* that I can stick to it this time.

I am putting myself on a real schedule so that I may have updates on time, and normalcy in my life. It's that time of year when it starts getting colder and the leaves are falling. I love Fall! I love to watch the leaves change colors. In PA Fall is so beautiful just rows of trees, with beautifully colored leaves its inspiring to create. Besides all the wonderful scents and colors that come with Fall, Halloween is approaching and thats one of Tristan's Favorite holidays.

We have our Halloween/Fall products out now and I must say I love each and every item. I was never a fan of Pumpkin Spice or Pumpkin Spice Latte but I am now. It smells so delicious! We have this awesome Pumpkin Spice Latte Bath Set. It includes a Pumpkin Spice Latte goats milk soap, Pumpkin Spice sugar scrub and bath truffles.

Bath Truffles:

Bath Truffles are the perfect addition to your bath time regimine. This is the time of the year when your skin gets extremely dry due to the cold weather. Just drop one or two into the bath and this moisture rich bath truffle gently fizzes and releases cocoa butter that will soften your skin. Its a great decadent bath time treat.

Halloween Sets are in the perfect trick or treat bags for your little one:

http://bubblebabez.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=125

Each bag contains 6 bars of soap perfect for little hands:

• Caramel Apple


• Boo Berry


• Pumpkin Patch (smells like orange candy! Kids are not fans of Pumpkin lol)


• Bone Head


• Trick or Treat


• Dawn of the Dead
  

You also select one of our luxury bath cupcakes. Each Cupcake has a creepy ring in the frosting:

• Ghoul-ing Grape
• Frog Eye Pear Potion
• Creepy Orange October

Have a Bubbl-y Day!
