Summer has arrived in our neck of the world...the Ice Cream is dripping and the AC units are running overtime!
This month we have a few new products that we will be rolling out...such as Pie Candles, and some new Jar Candle scents. In addition, we are clearing out some of our soaps to make room for new ones...so be sure to check out the monthly specials or clearance pages.

Site re-vamp. Over the next week or 2 you will also notice that we are doing an overhaul on our website. I think you will be pleased with the simple and elegant new look.

Long time no post....and WE HAVE NEWS!!!

It is hard to believe that we haven't posted in our blog since January...for shame! We will be trying to make a good effort to post weekly...at least.

Here is what we have been up to since January....

On January 16th we found out that we were expecting our first child. I took a home pregnancy test at work (I also work PT at a Financial Institution). As I stood there waiting for it to change...I noticed nothing was happening. 4 minutes later I started to feel sad...thinking the test wouldn't show anything. Just as I went to throw it out, I made a discovery...I had it turned upside down...and it WAS positive!!
I must have re-read the directions about 3 times before it actually sunk in...then all I could do was look in the mirror and cry out of utter joy!!
I called hubby at work, but the poor guy was right in the middle of a meeting...I had to tell him anyway...it was SO funny! All his employees found out at the same time.
Then I ran down the hall in the bank and told all my co-workers. My manager said to me, "Um...Karen...is that the pee stick still in your hand?" What a goof...I totally forgot to put it away...teeheeehee.

Anyways, we are now coming up to our 5th month and couldn't be happier!

Above is a picture of my tummy at 4 months...

On the business side of things...a lot will be happening, and has happened. We have decided to discontinue quite a few of our moisturizing body bars as we want to focus on 4 or 5 of our most popular scents (Winter Candy Apple, White Tea & Ginger, Morning Rush, Be Delicious, and a NEW scent coming soon)

We will also be adding in a unscented moisturizing body bar for sensitive skin.

NEW PRODUCTS COMING SOON...
Foaming Bath Butter, and Bath Butter Scrub. (still trying to come up with a name for them)
New layered soaps
Cupcake Pedicure Bathbombs

NEW SOAPIES :)

The wait is over...our new Designer Series of Soaps have arrived.

Here are just 2 of them...
'Just Breathe' Body Soap...Tick, tock, tick, tock… like a thief in the night you slip silently into the shower before the sun is up. With your eyes still closed, you feel around for your favorite pick me up scent. Your hand closes around the bar and you quickly hold it up to your nose and breathe deeply, inhaling the brisk scent of luscious ripe black cherries as one eye slowly opens. Breathing deeper you imagine yourself in the middle of the grape fields of Italy.Warm breezes softly brushing your skirt around your bare legs... and as the sun warms your skin all you smell are the rich, ripe cherries on the vines before you.

Invigorated and fully awake you step from your shower ready to start your day with a vengeance.
Go get ‘em tiger.

'Pumpkin Crunch Cake' Body Soap...Nothing screams holiday goodness like Pumpkin Crunch Cake fresh from the oven. Imagine sitting at your kitchen table, a warm hunk of pumpkin goodness sitting before you. Spicy pumpkin with cinnamon and nutmeg, a bit of marshmallow fluff and light airy CAKE, topped with streusel topping and all of it is drenched in caramel and toffee.
Oh LAWD, I can feel the pounds on my hips as I type this. Fortunately it’s totally non edible but OH so good. You’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven.

Here, have some more coffee to go with another slice of that FABULOUS cake.

In addition to some yummy new soaps, we have also added in some new scents to our 'QUENCH' Body Frosting line....Sweet Pumpkin Vanilla Cake, Marshmallow Coconut Cream, & Warm Vanilla Sugar.

NEW BODY WASHES!!!We are thrilled to announce we now have new Body Washes in stock. These are thick, rich...and oober sud-sationalnal! Some of the yummy scents include...Black Currant & Nectarine, Cupcake Craze, Cranberry Citrus, Pink Sugar Buttercream...and more!

Be sure to check out all of our new products...and as alway's.....WE DARE YOU TO AVOID THE TEMPTATION...

We have kept very busy at Simply Tempted, by adding new fragrances to some of our lines. These new fragrances are so yummy that I might not want to share!

First stop...our yummy Whipped Shea Butter Body Parfaits...

Pistachio Cream Cake:A decadent layer of soft yellow cake, creamy pistachio custard, topped off with luscious vanilla crème.

White Tea & Ginger:A delightful warm and comforting smell. With top notes of Bergamot, Lemon Peels and Green Daylilies, this fragrance is brought back to its roots with a base of Ginger, Nutmeg and Warm Musk.

Pumpkin Crunch Cake:Pumpkin Pie, Spices, Marshmallow Fluff, Toffee, Caramel, Hints of vanilla cake, sticky icing and streusel.

Second up...our "Soy Tempted" Candle Melts

New Scents...Candied Toffee Crunch, Pumpkin Crunch Cake, Cinnamon Crunch Cake, Spicy Apples & Peaches, Pistachio Cream Cake, & Cinnamon Buns.

Each 2.5 ounce Jumbo Candle Melt will freshen and renew your home with triple scent for up to 20 hours or more.

Thirdly...NEW SOAPS!!!! We have 9 new soaps to add to our wonderful soap line...but wait! These are no ordinary soaps...these are our new designer series of soaps. Each soap weighs in at a whopping 4-5 ounces, and will have you wanting to shower every moment of every day. I tried one of these gorgeous soaps this morning...and of course hubby wanted to try one too. I wasn't really in the sharing mood, so I quickly handed him his own bar of Dove!
HANDS OFF MR...these soaps are mine!

The new soaps still have a few days of curing left in them...but they will be added to the site soon.
