Brochure

I've finally gotten around to creating a fact sheet/brochure for K.Liz Designs. I will now have a handout for potential customers when I attend various events with my products.

Adventures in Candle Making

The palm wax has arrived! I was so excited when the UPS guy dropped the box on my doorstep last night! I'll be makin' PALM-tastic! candles today to try out the new wax.

I also received color blocks in a bazillion different colors and I can't wait to try them out too!

This box was just full of goodies! Yes, I ordered them, but it was like Christmas morning when I opened the box! The last surprise is Pina Colada fragrance for our brand new specialty candle line, inspired by and named after my son, the J.Paul Signature Collection. I am so excited, and can't wait to make the first candle for him to "approve"!

Big changes people! There's a lot going on over here at K.Liz Designs Aromatherapy!

1. Palm wax is on the way, so we've added a new category - PALM-tastic!

2. Look for a new line of candles - the J.Paul Signature Collection

3. We've lowered the prices of our candles - gift boxes will no longer be included unless requested.

We're still working on updating the site, but check out the ...changes we've made so far!

Happy shopping!!!

PALM-TASTIC!

I ordered some palm wax today. I've been wanting to try it because it is a sustainable & renewable resource, has a cool feathering texture, is all natural, and is bio-degradable. I can't wait to get it in the mail next week! If the palm wax works like I am hoping that it does, my new candle line is going to be called "PALM-tastic!"

I've also decided to try color blocks, as opposed to liquid candle dye. I haven't worked with color blocks yet, but am already excited at the prospect of a whole new line of colors!

Busy-busy!

This past weekend, Mother's Day weekend, I joined K9 Kokua (http://www.k9kokua.org/) at the largest pet event in Hawai'i, The Pet Expo - an incredible weekend with amazing people. It was such a pleasure to be invited to spend the weekend in such great company. Thanks to Kale, K.Liz Designs is on the map on Oahu and I was able to raise a nice chunk of change for K9 Kokua's medical fund.

I was pretty wiped out from the weekend, and have yet to leave the house since coming home from Town on Sunday afternoon. Instead, I've been working on a new label design for the K.Liz Designs candles. After two full days of editing, I'm happy with the new design, and can't wait to get my new labels in the mail!

The new labels will be wrap-around in style, showcasing product perks on the left, product name and fragrance in the middle, and manufacturing information on the right. After some thought, I've decided to stick with the brown kraft label instead of a white or clear label. However, that may change. We'll see.



Now, I have to get ready for two more events that are fast approaching. I can't thank Kale enough for inviting me to join K9 Kokua to help get my name out there! Mahalo Sister!
