Yippee!! We have a new web store! The best news: our Grand Opening Sale is now in effect! Get 10% off your entire order through the entire month of April!<\/strong> The shopping cart will automatically figure your discount. <\/p>\n

Here are some of the other wonderful features of our new web store:<\/p>\n

    \n1. It’s a streamlined, cleaner look. Easier to find what you are looking for!
    \n2. You can create an account which will enable you to see your order history, and the best part:
    \n3. Write reviews on individual products – or general customer service reviews. I would love to hear your feedback!
    \n4. You can see what is in your shopping cart at all times. Just look in the left sidebar!
    \n5. Quantity discounts are automatically applied once you reach a certain number. For example, the 4 for $20 Handmade Soap Deal will still apply, but now when you order 4 or more soaps, the price is still just $5. You don’t have to order in quantities of four! I’ve added new quantity discounts for lotions and lip butters as well.
    \n6. Best sellers will be listed along the right side – up to 10 different products! As more people place orders, that information will be more and more accurate.
    \n7. We are now able to accept your credit or debit cards directly. This is huge! And we have a secure certificate so you know your information will be safe. Paypal is still an option as well.
    \n8. I will also be able to add slideshows to showcase product photos – this will be coming soon!<\/ol>\n

    What’s missing:<\/p>\n

      \n1. I am no longer able to sell gift certificates. Not a huge loss since I think I’ve only sold 2 or 3 in the last five years!
      \n2. I will no longer have a wholesale program. I believe this only affects one customer, and we are talking about working out a new arrangement.
      \n3. Local customers no longer have the option to pay upon pick-up of their order. The cart just won’t allow it – sorry!\n<\/ol>\n

      So you see, the benefits are tremendous! I am very excited about this change, and hope you are too! Click on the header photo above or HERE<\/a> to enter the new web store.
