And Away We Go!

(Happy Feet!!!!!)

Garden Girl Cosmetics on Etsy!

The Etsy store launched on March 15th, on March 22nd I received the first order, March 23rd that first order shipped! Yay!

Thank you to everyone that has looked at the store and favorited, followed or liked it!

The products are gradually being made for photos and Etsy Listing (currently 14!), definitely an exciting time.

Hmm, never mind the patchwork of many-colored sticky notes I have everywhere right now. It's all right, I have them dewey-decimaled in my brain!

I appreciate the support, encouragement and assistance from our friends and family, your belief in this venture is awesome!

Until next time.......

New Directions for Garden Girl!

Wowie!

So, you all know about the weight loss, my love for good nutrition and that I have dabbled with making my own mineral makeup and cosmetics....
Well, I have officially gone beyond "dabbler"!

I received my DBA this week (Garden Girl Cosmetics), and have started to get feedback from the product testers, which has been overwhelmingly supportive, enthusiastic and helpful!

As of now, I have a tentative product list of 35 items (not accounting for color and scent choices), and have set up an Etsy store. The only delay is waiting for more supplies to arrive so I can make product, take pics and open for business!

Garden Girl Cosmetics is about no harmful, overtly synthetic product use such as parabens, pathalates, siloxanes, methicones, synthetic parfum, triclosan or any of the other ingredients on David Suzuki Foundation's Dirty Dozen .

What you will get includes beeswax, coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, avacado oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, the best essential oils I can find, home made herbal essences and homemade herbal oils.

With every product you will receive a list of ingredients, and the option if you would like to re-order the same product to return the container and I will refill it at a discount. (Thank you for recycling!) Containers will be thoroughly sanitized before being refilled.
Anyone that sends in a photo of themselves highlighting a product that is selected for use on FB, Etsy or the blog will receive 10% off their next order (photo credits also of course).

Stay tuned here for the Etsy address in the near future and feel free to follow or like GGC on FB!

Have a great day!
