Homemade Sugar Scrubs & Limoncello … preparing for my Open House
In Business, cooking, Indulge, Marketing, Massage, Open House, Photography, Specials on May 25, 2013 at 9:06 PMHow are you spending your Memorial Day weekend? It’s cold and rainy here and I’ve spent all day in the studio doing more prep for the Open House this Saturday.
Check out these homemade sugar scrubs! They look good enough to eat. Made from sugar in the raw, fresh local honey, extra virgin olive oil and organic vanilla & almond extracts they are ideal for exfoliating your skin in the shower – and the oil that is left behind is perfect for shaving.
The first twenty people to make a purchase between 1-4 PM at the Open House get to take home a complimentary sample. I made one extra for myself and can’t wait to use it!
My friend Catherine spent this afternoon preparing her gift to the Open House – homemade limoncello!!
The vodka has to soak up that lemon for the next seven days before it’s ready … but I have to tell you, it smells SO good already!!! She spent a whole lot of time making sure all the pith was off that rind and I’m sure it’s going to be worth it.
Drop by on Saturday, June 1st between 1 and 5 PM and you just might get a sample. First person to arrive is going to win a free chair massage and there are raffles for a 30 minute Swedish massage and a coupon for 20% off a photographic print. Grab a friend and come check out my new studio – I’d love to see new faces.
Sunday Sauce & ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’
In cooking, Indulge, personal on May 8, 2013 at 8:00 AMThis past Sunday called for some ‘homeyness’ – which meant the smell of garlic & onions cooking in olive oil while watching “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. I got out my favorite wooden spoon, borrowed my grandfather’s large stock pot from my father and let the stress from the past week just melt away. Mangia!
A wonderful compliment … first day success … and soft opening mishap.
In Business, Indulge, Massage, Specials on May 1, 2013 at 4:47 PMIt’s been a great day so far!! Thanks for all the well wishing texts, emails and phone calls. I’ve had a few people ask me what time the soft opening is tonight – so just to be clear – I am open for business but haven’t scheduled an open house yet. I hope to see you there when it happens. :)
The wonderful compliment: My first client of the day … and of the new business … got $20 off her massage!! I couldn’t have been more happy to work with her. We chatted for a few minutes before hand and she told me that she’s had a few massages in the past but didn’t see what the big deal was. After her session was over she came out with that “massage drunk” face I love and said … “Now I get it …” What a great compliment and perfect way to begin my new venture. :)
The first day success: Besides doing massage … I’ve also sold three pictures today!! This is so great!
Soft opening mishap #1: The fuse in my massage room kept turning off whenever I tried to plug in my heater. I wound up unplugging a few things and pulling it all together and now know of one thing I need to figure out before the next session.
Soft opening mishap #2: Cox came to set up Internet today at 10:30am … and didn’t finish ’til … 3:30pm. I had to call in help to watch over the shop so they could continue to work while I was in massage.
It all worked out in the end and all in all it’s been a fun first day! Can’t wait to see you here. :)
