{Video}Today's Bloopers & Silliness | Smell Good Spa™

Today, I worked on videos for marketing. I didn't always get it right. Can you believe that?! LOL. I also enjoy the camera, so a little silliness comes out every time.

Sharing a bit of me with you....

From My Family to Yours | Smell Goods '98™

I thought of the many ways I could express how much you meant to me/us this year.  But it all summed up into two simple yet powerful words.

Last-Minute Shopper? | Smell Goods '98™

You are welcome here!  For the next 3 days, you can shop our No Lead Time category.  There's a 25% sale going on, and better yet, we'll ship it to you that same day.  *High5*

Check out our newsletter for ALL the deets. 

P.S. Yesterday I sent this newsletter to our subscribers, and blasted it on social media.  After doing so I noticed one misspelled word.  After silently reading over my work 5 times, and out loud 5 times, how is that possible! Ugh!  I hope folks are forgiving.  That misspelled word is corrected in what you are about to read.

Fragrance and the Heighten Love Affair | Smell Good Spa™

The energy that surges through my body when his hand touches the small of my back... Non-verbal, spirit-connected "I love you" lingering in silence, as I'm pulled more into his embrace... Stimulated olfactory senses coaxing him towards my pulse points....

Why would I talk about something so sensual here?  I am a woman.  I am a wife.  Woman-to-woman; wife-to-wife, having a sweet, body aroma that his senses refuse to ignore, heightens your love affair - enhancing the live good, feel good, smell good experience.

Every season, I select a personal IT scent from our fragrance collection.  12 Tribes customized in Marinade, IT, and it soon became the Snuggle Scent.  I don't know - China Doll is on the list for winter, but the way things are going, 12 Tribes might have to stay around for awhile. *Wink*

Having a love affair with a man you trust explicitly - beautiful.  Pheromones intertwined with your signature fragrance oil, as a bouquet of attraction - priceless.

So what do you have Him snuggling up to these days?

How to Have a FUNK-Free Home | Smell Goods '98™

It's that time of year again--friends and family coming & going (possibly staying for awhile).  So how can you  create a safe environment, showoff your exquisite taste, and have everyone saying, "Mmmmm"?  You know we got you, right?

Introducing, Sunset!  Isn't she a beaut?  But just like you and me, she's more than just great looks (wink).  Presently, we have the aroma lamp plugged into our downstairs bathroom, and the fragrance throw is fabulous.

In our bathroom.  The purple wall and the lamp's hue complement each other nicely.

Introducing Sunset Aroma Lamp - Named after its beautiful hue and design. 

A safe, clean and healthy way to enjoy Signature Fragrance Oils and Green Tea Medley Melts. 
This aroma lamp is designed to create an aromatic and relaxing atmosphere while eliminating the use of flame.

Are fragrance lamps a part of your home decor?

Are You Defining Your Business Culture? | Smell Goods '98™

Culture: The sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings, and transmitted from one generation to another.

Business Culture was one of the topics on the table in our last monthly meeting.  It is a topic discussed many times while working, and now every meeting we will go over the checklist, for accountability purposes.

#TeamSpirit* is a behavior added to our Business Culture foundation.

#TeamSpirit is about getting the hard work done to play hard.  Now to many this seems like Family Night or family time.  And you would be correct, to some extent.  We believe that there isn't any separation in business and family.  I do not mean external family, I mean the man you are 100% committed to, who is 100% committed to you, and the offspring that comes out of that commitment.  You are a team+family= Teamily.

As you know, defining a behavior can lower morale or boost morale.  Simply transforming family time into #TeamSpirit has created the latter.  The mindset is business centered, getting done all the necessary hard work and projects, as a team, to play harder, as a team.  This is a foundation being built by a family in business, for the future team members and their families.  Not only our internal team members, but those we work with virtually.  Our vision: to gather for fun; to travel with our Team.  They will become a part of our Teamily.  That is one of the things that I really like about Tom Joyner, his team travels and just do a lot of fun things, together.  Keeping the morale boosted.

We have several #TeamSpirit activities planned for the remainder of the year.  Which means we have a lot of projects on the table too.  A simple phrase created so much buzz, and understanding of the will to get things done, to have that reward.  The pictures are from this weekend's #TeamSpirit.  Trust, it wasn't just a game night.  LOL.  Boy, these people are serious!  By people, I mean me... *wink*.  We are all energized and ready for this week's to-do list.

So this is just one piece of our Business Culture.  What's yours?

From The Desk of Itiel McVay | Smell Goods '98™

Dear Smell Goods Customer:



I thought about you the other day.  Paying a visit to other online retailers, in the bath and body business, is something that I do from time-to-time.  On my most recent visit, I was met with popular faces and exotic ingredients for label appeal, but not enough beneficial information to help a shopper make an informed decision.  


During my childhood I learned harshly how to mind my business (head nod to my sibling, cousins, and classmates).  I allow my personal lessons to mirror what I offer...I am literally minding my business.  What am I doing to help my customers in making an informed decision?  This is the question that I posed to myself.  It's easy to get caught up in the hype, ring the bells, and blow the whistles.


Before leaving for vacation, I dedicated time to put the website on maintenance, and updated the descriptions on our products. An educated shopper, like yourself, still deserves a FYI.  Wouldn't you agree?   


Now when you visit the site, to make a purchase, you'll see the listed benefits for each product.  You'll see words Thought To and Found To.  We follow the cosmetic guidelines suggested by the FDA, by not stating claims to a cosmetic, even when those ingredients are effective in helping the skin.  In taking your largest organ into more consideration, you can find thorough information about the ingredients used, in the What's In It? Series.  I shouldn't shrug my shoulders and expect my customers to Google ingredients found on the label.   This series is ongoing.  I encourage you to follow via Goggle Friend Connect, Subscribe, or Follow By Email, all can be found to the right.  


In all honesty, I can only be concerned about you, our customer, and what is used in our products, to help you maintain a live good, feel good, smell good experience.


To your health & xo
Your Product Creator,
