Time For a Vacation

That's right, cookies. VACATION TIME for yours truly. On Sunday, I'm leaving for Florida to visit my mom for her combination birthday/Mother's Day gift. Plus, my birthday was on Cinco de Mayo, so it's sort of a dual celebration! Anyway, the shop will be CLOSED from Sunday, June 3 to Sunday, June 10th. I'll have it back up and running by Monday. If you'd like to make a purchase while I'm away, I will be checking my emails occasionally, so feel free to send me a convo on Etsy shop or a message through my Facebook page.

Thanks, ladies, and enjoy your week! I know I will!

Spring Craft Fair

I have some more exciting springtime news! Piękny Cookie will be sold at the Spring Craft and Vendor Show hosted by Aurora Rose. I'm so excited to be a part of this show! There are so many amazing vendors at Aurora Rose and I can't wait to meet everyone. I will be offering an array of items (some not even in my Etsy shop yet!), so come on over and buy some stuff without worrying about shipping fees. Also, be sure to check out all the other great vendors. Oh, and if you're interested, there will also be a tarot card reader there! How fun. Hope to see you all there!

April Showers Bring SALES!

Okay, so I know it's mid-April, and not like, a milestone day or anything. But I decided to give my little cookies a present and offer some tasty SALE items, some up to 50% off!

Lately I've been craving citrus, whether it be in my food, perfume or body products, and I've decided that I absolutely looooove LEMON! Lemon is such a tart-sweet, invigorating scent that everyone should be able to enjoy this spring, which is why all of my lemony-delicious items are on sale -- including the popular CITRUSH Dry Shampoo!

CITRUSH Dry Shampoo

Sale items also include the Lemonade Stand 5-gram lip balm tub, Lemony Lassie Refreshing Facial Spray (um, a NEW item, so grab it while it's hot!) and Lemony Lavenderp Brown Sugar Scrub.

So if you would like to prance around this spring with the light, sweet aroma of sugary lemon, take a gander at my SALE ITEMS available until the end of April. Thanks, darlings!

Oh, We Love Moisture!

 Lemony Lassie Refreshing Facial Spray

As much as cookies love milk. I've added five new moisturizing facial sprays to my shop; Lavenderp, Lemony Lassie, Chamomile, Geranium and Jazzmin. For a quick moisture fix in the morning, just close your eyes and spray it on your freshly washed face, then let it air dry. My skin is combination/oily, so I find this stuff perfect. It's light and great for summertime, especially when it's super humid outside. I live in Illinois, and there are times when I swear to jeeves it's a damn rainforest here. At least, the mosquitoes make me feel like it, anyhow. Ugh.

Zit Zappa Acne Spot Treatment

So, I got myself a pimple the other day and decided to take it out with my own acne spot treatment creation. With concentrated tea tree oil and witch hazel -- a great astringent -- I made my own blemish blaster I like to call Zit Zappa! I love it. Tea tree oil is great for zits, but I find that when you dab it on full force it gets a little too burny and stinky for my liking. Pair this with the Geranium facial spray (awesome for oily skin) and you've got your acne issues sussed.

Bare Naked Flavor-Free Beeswax Lip Balm

Also, for all you au naturale gals out there, I decided to offer a flavor-free version of my beeswax lip balm. Just the bare necessities in this baby, without the sweetness. Well, there's sweetness of course, but a different KIND of sweetness -- soft, moisturized lips! Enjoy all the new products, cookies, and have a great week.

NEW Lip Balms & Toners

 Strawberry Nilla Beeswax Lip Balm

So the other day I busted my butt and posted a whole bunch of new lip balms to my Etsy! I've added delicious flavors like strawberry vanilla, pear, peach, mango and chocolate ... mmm, CHOCOLATE! I mean, really, who doesn't want to have the taste of sweet chocolate clinging to their lips all day long?

 

Very Cherry Beeswax Lip Balm

I've also added a new toner - in honor of St. Patrick's Day, of course - called Green Tease. It's totally awesome. Okay, so I might just be saying that because I made it, but no -- seriously, it's awesome. The combination of green tea extract and tea tree and geranium essential oils are not only great for oily skin, but will also help keep acne-prone skin clear. PLUS don't forget that any item that comes in a glass bottle (um, toners!) can be sent back to me to be refilled. Hey, I love to recycle. Why should I make you pay more money for another bottle when you have a perfectly good one right in your hand?

 

Green Tease Facial Toner

I will also be adding a few more toners in the very near future, most likely this weekend, so stay tuned.

One other note: I've been a photographer for several years and, until this year, I hadn't had a professional SLR camera to shoot with. Well, thanks to my gorgeous new Canon Rebel T3i (whoo whoo!) I can now upload awesome, great resolution photos of my products with little to no color correction. So that, darlings, saves me editing time, which in turn gives me more time to make more products! 

Everyone have a wonderful and safe St. Paddy's Day weekend!

Perfume Oil Ingredient Change

Monkey Farts Perfume Oil

I just wanted to let all my cookies know that perfume oils will now be made with fractionated coconut oil rather than grapeseed oil. Fractionated coconut oil is not only an excellent carrier oil when used with essential oils, it is also lighter, less greasy and penetrates the skin deeper. It's also super stable, which means it has a longer shelf life than most other carrier oils ... and who doesn't want their tasty-smelling perfumes to last as long as possible? Enjoy!

Big News!

First off I'd like to apologize for the lax in posts. I've been busy, busy, busy! Besides my full-time job, I've been busting my patootie making Piękny Cookie products to stock at a store! Yes, that's right. An honest-to-peanut-butter, real live store.

The store is called Aurora Rose and it's located in Willow Springs, IL, right next to this adorable little coffee shop. The store is fab. Called simply a "unique boutique," Aurora Rose carries handmade products ranging from tutus to glassware to parasols to meatball mix to -- well, I could go on and on. I'm very excited to be a part of this group of creative vendors and I can't wait to see where this goes!

 

I even added a few new special items that you can only get at Aurora Rose for the time being! Those include two delicious-smelling moisturizing body sprays (great for after showering!), Lavenderp facial spray (with moisturizing aloe and jojoba!) and Aphrodisiac Attack perfume oil, a special concoction of my own that will instill much staring and perhaps even drooling by the opposite sex. (These claims are not substantiated, teehee)

So here's the store. Awesome, right? Totally cute, but totally spacious and full of amazing stuff. If you need a skull and crossbones baby romper or some super-cute handmade greeting cards, Aurora Rose is the place to go. Oh, yeah, and if you want to buy Piękny Cookie products, of course!

Please check out my stuff if you're in the Willow Springs area! I'd really appreciate it, cookies.
