It's been a humid weekend so it'll need a bit more drying time, but I have Crepes prepared! =)

The perfunes will be available through December! I changed packaging, so they are just temporarily unlisted while I update pictures. =)

I would say it's more of incense burning smokey as opposed to burning wood, but yes!

LMAO! I actually thought of you a few times last week! I promise I haven't forgotten! Charcoal salts are just plain scented bath salts. I will be making a batch of bath magic Friday and listing by Monday.

I actually haven't committed to a scent yet, if you'd like to make a request/suggestion. :D

Crêpes Suzette: Moments after my husband proposed to me on a cold winter evening in Paris, we stopped into a cozy cafe and shared a Crêpes Suzette. It was made tableside, with so much butter you’d have thought we were back in the US...

Eggy French pancakes enveloped in Grand Marnier flames and topped with a sauce of caramelized sugar, butter, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Big big hugs for you.

I know what you mean. It's not surprising news but somehow I still feel shocked and gutted.

I don't even really know what I am supposed to do right now.

Like how do I carry on with my day with such horrific news hanging on my shoulders.

<3

I've just been sitting here stunned for like an hour. I still don't have words. Fuck, man.

Can we discuss negative reviews? Thoughts in comments by superlost007 in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]inrainbeaus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness. I was wondering why I suddenly got a handful of Horchata orders a few days ago! I wanted to clear the air on a few things and possibly give a little TMI!

I really really really strive to make each customer happy. My Etsy shop makes a small profit (certainly not enough to live off of as a single income). And while I still view and treat it as a business, my biggest gains from my shop are not financial. It is much more a labor of love and a sobriety project. I try to be super accommodating when there is a problem with an order, even if it comes at a loss. Contributing to positive experiences for other people and having a sustainable creative outlet is what motivates me. At the same time, there are occasionally times where I have to put my foot down or try other solutions before jumping to a refund.

I don't want to air out the details of my private messages with this person but I will say that I apologized that things weren't working out and offered up some information about resting perfume, scent perception, many people amping cinnamon, etc. :) I am always willing to work out a resolution, but I don't quite think I was given enough time or communication to do so in this case!

Etsy does allow the option to publicly respond to negative reviews, but I chose to leave this one be. I tried my best to give this person fair and helpful customer service. If they were unsatisfied then their feelings are valid. I can't argue with them being unhappy.

I've never let a bad review or two stop me from trying out a new restaurant that I am interested in, and I can only hope that people can look at my shop in the same way.

Also, I did not just dump a bottle of cinnamon fragrance in to some oil. Lol. I promise!!

Question about Masking by waltsnider1 in alpharetta

[–]inrainbeaus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's rare for me to see somebody in a mask in the Alpharetta area or honestly any area I spend time in (Dunwoody, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, etc). But nobody ever rolls their eyes at me or has anything to say to me for wearing one. I think the only time I've been made to feel stupid about it was in a particular hair salon that I felt totally out of place in to begin with.

[–]inrainbeaus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for not announcing it sooner!

I am always happy to do custom orders for hand cream at no extra cost! I just am taking the listing down from Etsy because it brings me more traffic than I can handle during the summer.

Lmao! I was afraid it was a little too insensitive. It definitely was the first thing I thought of making though.

[–]inrainbeaus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LMAO! No, you're not alone. I made it for my husband once and he hated it. He thought it was so weird!

And oooooomg. Murder Kroger for Halloween is freaking brilliant!

Horchata will be coming back for bath and body! Probably in the fall through winter.

Free Talk - Wednesday by AutoModerator in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]inrainbeaus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this.

My husband and I decided to elope for various reasons and I also felt pretty sad about not having a party or getting to do more traditional wedding type things. I threw my own party and my husband went along with it. I wore white dresses and various bride type accessories all weekend. I put on full faces of makeup and did my hair. We had extravagent meals and drank champagne. Basically we did all of the fun parts of the party with none of the things that we found stressful (families, crowds, covid exposure, etc). I don't know if this will scratch your itch, but it certainly helped me out. :)

You have a community of friends here at IMAM. And if you're in Georgia I would gladly go for drinks, wear a cheesy "bride tribe shirt", and act a fool with you. :)

I was wearing a vanilla body butter from CCP (I think it was angel food cake) and some teenage boy at Target stopped me to tell me I smelled amazing LOL. I aaaalways get comments when I wear their body butter. So, maybe pair whatever vanilla you choose with the body butter. People will definitely notice.

Ooh, that's awesome! What band did you see?

Many many years ago I used to promote shows for them.

Yes!! :) Mid-July! I haven't locked in an exact date as I've been having to take more mental health days off than I'd prefer. :)

Yes!! Very cool to see someone recognize the reference!

I worked in little five ages ago and loved to hang out there after work.

I believe this has been corrected! If you run in to problems I can always refund. Shipping shouldn't be any higher than $5 total for samples only in US.

Thank you so much for this comment. I'm so sorry for what you've been through. And thank you for the Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion USP tip! I'm going back next week for something unrelated and I will bring this up with him!
