So, Marly, you now have until Wednesday, April 30th at 8 pm Mountain time to contact me with a mailing address so that I can get your collection sent out to you. Send me an e-mail to sandra@urbanbotanic.com. Remember- Wed. April 30th before 8pm MST.

And thanks for entering to everyone else. You can always head over to my Urban Botanic site and shop if you feel like it.
Feel free to stop back by and see what is going on around here. I try to find reasons to hold a contest every once in awhile, and you just never know when you just might win.

Winner

Here is our beautiful gift bag of goodies. What happens now is our winner needs to go to my website , take the personality test and then we will get together to create the most fabulous scent to make your signature custom products.

So, heitkampfam Pretty in Pink, if you are located in Utah, we can do this in person. If you are not in Utah, I will e-mail you with your options. (be sure to include your e-mail when you take the personality test.)

Everyone else, I will hold more contests throughout the year, but in the meantime, Feb. hostess special is that you get a home fragrance collection for 1/2 off. That's right, you pay $25 and receive an Oil Warming Plate and 3 of your favorite oils. This is an incredible value.

March Hostess Special
Back by popular demand! Receive a free perfume oil with any UB Home Collection. We held this promotion back in November and all we can say is WOW. Our customers loved the idea of that free oil. Make sure you contact me to schedule your workshop date before my March calendar fills up.

Too busy to schedule in a workshop? Or perhaps you don't live close enough for me to be able to come to your home? Schedule a catalog workshop and you get the same hostess benefits.

Contest time

I think it is time for another contest.

Up until now, our products were available only through an individual Fragrance Designer or by purchasing a Fragrance collection kit from a UB designer's website. Also, when a hostess would hold a workshop, there were always guests that could not attend for whatever reason. These guests would always want a catalog- and we didn't have one. Well, now we do. Let me tell you, they are beautiful and we have several new packages to help you create your own fun and fragrance.

So, with Valentine's Day coming up (14 days and counting- see sidebar), now would be a great time to purchase (or tell your sweetie that you want some UB product) you Valentine's gift.

I have a basket sitting at my house full of unscented Urban Botanic goodies. Leave me a comment between now and Wednesday, Feb 6, 7 pm Mountain time, and I will enter your name in the drawing to win this basket. Send you friends and family my way and get another entry.

The winner will be drawn at 7pm Mountain time on Feb 6th and will win the basket with:

Nourishing body lotion 8oz
Of course the most important feature of your Urban Botanic products is your signature scent. But still, all we hear is ranting and raving about the quality of our Nourishing Body Lotion! What can we say? We designed it to quickly quench your skin's thirst for moisture and nourishment without feeling greasy - your skin still feels good at the end of the day without reapplying! It's completely hypo-allergenic and contains amazing ingredients like Grape Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, and Vitamins A, C, D, & E!

Refreshing Shower Gel 8 oz
Who doesn't love a billowing, silky lather without having to use ¼ bottle of shower gel? Our Refreshing Shower Gel is just that - refreshing… and scented oh-so-perfectly for YOUR morning routine. Hypo-allergenic and gentle as can be.

Parfum Spray 2 oz.
You're going to love your Urban Botanic Parfum Spray. This is a perfume that lasts all day and feels wonderfully silky when you put it on. Our perfume is safer than most because it doesn't contain harsh preservatives like alcohol, formaldehyde, and other scary stuff you'll find in your typical department store perfume. Instead, we use silk amino acids that don't cause irritations and perfume allergies that a lot of people suffer from.

A wonderful back loofah
Pedicure brush and pumice
Assorted other goodies
Pumps for the lotion and showergel

All packaged in a lovely Valentine bag, ready to use yourself or give as a gift. (remember UB products make great gifts for men as well).

I will contact the winner and we will work together to create a fragrance that is Original and Unique, just like you!

It's out!

My small ad in the Utah Valley magazine is out today. This ad resulted from an e-mail from one of the editors requesting an interview with me. Check it out. Bottom corner of pg. 17. It's small, but my website!

I will be at the Expo Center in Sandy today and tomorrow evening manning the Urban Botanic booth

Moving forward

Change is all around and happening all the time. Just take a look outside today at the clouds around us. When I woke up this morning, it was dark and raining (that felt and sounded good). Within a few hours, the rain had quit, the sky was blue with just a few clouds in it and it was muggy, steam hot outside. Now it is hotter ad the clouds are building and billowing once again, and the wind has started to blow a bit harder than a breeze, but not hard enough to be a real wind.

I am thinking about change today, because I have applied to change my job. The new job would make more money than I make now and I would be contract instead of hourly and I would get benefits. These are all great things with my life situation as it is right now, (I am married to a not so nice man and would like to not be married to him in the near future). A higher salary and benefits would make this change go so much easier and smoother. But I have to go take an elementary financial test in a few minutes. I am not a math whiz, but can balance a checkbook, so I am hoping that it won't be too involved and scary. Anyway, prayers would be nice.

Another change in my life is that I have created a new website/shopping cart for my Urban Botanic business as well as a redirect URL for my UB website.
You can purchase unscented product as well as UB Signature Fragrance Collections from my regular UB site. However, I have customers that live farther away from me and cannot just pop over for a refill. So I have created a place to shop for your refills or I can create something for you. Or you can just head on over to my regular site from this one: http://www.customfragranceonline.com
I will be adding products as time goes on, so that is another evidence of change in life.

Another change is that UB is adding new Fragrance Designers daily. Because of this, many customers are forgetting the part of the UB desgner address that comes after the last / (as in www.urbanbotanic.com/sandrasparties). They are not putting it at all and just going to the corporate website, and then they are assigned to another fragrace designer. Or they type it in wrong and go to another designer's site. For that reason, I have a redirect URL that makes it easier to get to my site and you don't have to remember what comes after the /. It is:
http://www.yourscentyourway.com pretty easy to remember. Thanks to all of those family members that helped me choose what the name should be. I have also opted to start using this as my personal business slogan- Your Scent, Your Way.

Well, I am off, calculator in hand to take a math test. Wish me luck!
