Today is My Birthday!! Happy Birthday to Me!

I LOVE birthdays! Well, my birthday! I tell everyone it's my birthday on my day! You figure, it's the one day of the year that is YOUR day! Usually, I embarrass my family by wearing a tiara. They just walk way ahead of me or pretend they don't see me. It's not that I'm trying to embarrass them, but your birthday is a great day to give a shout out and thank your parents for bringing you into this world!

It's also not a day about seeing how many gifts you'll get or what free things you'll receive.

For me, it's just a day to say, I'm Here!

Because of that, I want to give my customers some gifts!! So, if you go to my site at www.aftertherayne.com and place an order, I will add a free gift to your box!

For every order placed today before midnite tonight, you will receive one of our Kissing in the Rayne Lip Balms (my choice of flavors) and a groovy Mesh Nylon Soap Sox (my choice of color). This is my birthday gift to you on this wonderful date of October 9th! Happy Birthday!!

Happy Independence Day!!


Happy Independence Day everyone! It's a wonderful day to enjoy our family, go swimming, eat barbeque or have a picnic and watch fireworks in the evening. It's also a great day to remember the 56 brave men who stood up in direct defiance of the British Government and signed the Declaration of Independence.

This goes to show that it doesn't take many to make a difference!

Have a safe and Happy July 4th everyone!

Sing, Sing A Song - Make it Simple

Well, it seems my contest wasn't a simple one, but it did get a lot of you thinking! I did get a winner and it was Brittany Shepherd!! Boy, she was a trooper too!! Her first guess was actually the title of the song, but she came back and did give me the name of the group. She picked up a free bar of Meloncholy Rayne and it went out in the mail today!

Oh, what...you want to know what it is? You sure? Weeeeell, okay. I'll give you one better. I present to you from my very own 1968 album
Greetings, Children of Paradise,
the one, the only:

BEAR

Enjoy!



This contest was a lot of fun!! I'll have to go dig in some more of my old albums and see what other contests I can come up with!

Greetings, Greetings, Greetings.....

Wouldn't you like to go away? Greetings, greetings, greetings. Come and see me don't delay!

The above, including the title are the lyrics to a song I have been singing all morning and playing on my phone.

Because of this, I have decided to have a little contest!!!! Tadah!!!

The first person who can tell me the artist or group of said above lyrics, will get a free bar of one of my delicious and delectable soaps!!! But, put on your thinking caps because it isn't as easy as you think!!!

Have fun!!!!

Just another soapy day at a conference!!

For the past week I’ve been in Palm Springs, CA attending the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild Conference. Who knew that there could be a conference for those that made soap? Yes, Virginia, there is a soapmakers conference! A good time was had by all as we learned how to set up our shops and how not to kill our profit margins. We also gained confidence with coloring. We understood more about preservatives and cold process and in between we were wrapped with veggie oils, massaged beyond belief and given incredible facials at the spa. Oh! Who could forget about the entertainment? Dennis and Kayla Favorianti of Essential Wholesale gave us an incredible evening of comedy delight with Jon Reep and Wendy Liebman in attendance while jugglers and stiltwalkers and masked characters walked around the party! I can’t put into words how amazing this conference was as the vendors filled our goodie bags with decadent body treats and samples for us to bring home. There were so many things that we received and won that I had to go and purchase another suitcase just to bring all my extra treats with me! To top it all off it was fantastic to meet my fellow soapmakers! I had seen their names on the computer over the years but was now able to fit faces and personalities together. The camaraderie was so enjoyable! Out of all the conferences I have attended, I do have to say that this was one of the most well run and put together events ever! The volunteers and people needed to put this on were amazing on a spectacular level. Everything ran on time. If there were glitches, they were never seen or heard. It was a well run piece of machinery. I was sad when it was all over, but excited to know that I will be attending again in Denver, CO next year!
