Knot-Suds

Two great things come from infusing oils here.  The oil infusion itself, which is used for various ointments and salves, and Knot-Suds.

Knot-Suds, a play on words regarding the fact that it is not a bubble bath, is a cheese-cloth bundle of the oil-soaked botanicals from the infusion process.  They make for a sumptuous soaking experience in the bathtub!

This round of Knot-Suds are lavender with sweet almond oil.  Each bundle is good for one soaking bath, and can be composted after use (except the ribbon tying it off).

Medications and Mother's Milk

I just found out that there is a new hotline for finding out what meds are safe while breastfeeding (from Dr. Hale's group)!! Many thanks to Alicia for sharing the info--I'm very excited about this development!

Pre-Orders for Ointment/Salves

Now taking pre-orders for chest congestion ointments and BooBooGoo. They'll be ready for pick-up in 2-3 weeks (due to the infusion process for the carrier oil used in the salves).

The chest congestion ointment is a non-petroleum aromatherapy alternative to name-brand menthol ointments. It is what I slather my spasmodic croup child's feet with when we're heading into an episode, or my family has chest-gunk going on.

The BooBooGoo is a non-petroleum aromatherapy alternative to name-brand antibiotic ointments. We've had great success with it for all sorts of scrapes and scraps--it goes traveling and camping with us and has a permanent place in our family first aid kit.

$15 for .5oz jar

Burlington Christmas Market

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too...

It's that time of year again! The Burlington Christmas Market opens today!!

The Market is being held in the old Liz Claiborne storefront, a couple doors down from Carters. Lots of returning vendors, and lots of new vendors--it's all so very exciting! Don't forget--the Burlington Christmas Market has a fan page on Facebook. Be sure to look it up and "like" it; the page will be updated regularly with events as well as vendor highlights, etc. Even the Burlington Outlet Village fan page is posting about the Christmas Market!

My chair and I will be there Fridays and Saturdays 3-7p. Still that great value of $5 per 5-minute increment.

Aromatherapy products will be available as a special order item. Most items can be delivered the next market day, or arrangements can be made during the week.

Croptoberfest @ Burlington Christian Academy

Tami Nice's annual Croptoberfest is next weekend (10/22-23) and I'll be there with my massage chair!!  What better way to spend a weekend than cropping, chatting, and getting chair massage??  Especially when you can get free chair massage?  Tami has a special deal going for her Croptoberfest customers--purchase $75 of Creative Memories product and get 10-minutes free in my chair!

Of course, you can also purchase chair time for yourself outside of any Creative Memories purchases.  $10 for 10-minutes of relaxing massage for your back, shoulders, neck and arms.

Out-of-State

I truly enjoyed doing chair massage at SoapWorks, Etc in conjunction with the Burlington Farmers' and Crafters' Market this year!  Thank you to all who stopped in to chat or for a snippet of massage.  My family is off adventuring in the west for the next 6-weeks or so...enjoy your autumn!!

Three Weeks of Chair Massage Left

Wanted to make a dedicated post about chair massage ending at SoapWorks, Etc in three weeks.  Labor Day Sunday (9/5) will be the last Sunday available for receiving a snippet of massage.

We'll review schedule availability when I return in November to see when we'll start back up.

Flash of Summer

Has this summer passed amazingly fast for you too?  It feels like my last post was a week or so ago, not two full months!

I'm still doing chair massage at SoapWorks, Etc Sunday afternoons, through Labor Day weekend.  I'll be taking off the remainder of September and October.

I have juicy bits of gossip that I've been sitting on for a couple of months, but cannot share until plans are more concrete.  The not-so-happy news is that I wasn't able to attend the upper extremities or the prenatal massage classes I planned to certify in this summer.  Cross your fingers that they occur in December (as currently slated).

Ooh, and for those of you gearing up for school starting...don't forget this is tax-free weekend!

Don't forget, orders and payment are due by Saturday!

Updates Underway

The website is in the process of being updated...please forgive the dust, it's being accomplished via a tethered crackberry.  More tidying up and correct linking will occur shortly.

A newsletter for May is being put together. 

The May sales flyer for Frontier also needs to be uploaded and the Frontier co-op page updated in general.  Orders and payment are due by 5/15.

The classroom space at the office is no longer available.  There will be no additional on-site classes or Wellness Workshops at the Liberty office at this time.

The brochure, or sevice menu, is being updated.  Currently, the website is the most accurate and overrides any remaining copies of the brochure.

The Google calendar (embedded on the website's homepage) has been updated to reflect chair massage being available at SoapWorks, Etc during Burlington Farmer's & Crafter's Market hours.  There are three Sundays that will not have chair massage available (one vacation, two trainings).

Burlington Farmer's & Crafter's Market

It's coming upon market season again!

This year's market will be in the Bass parking lot at Burlington Outlet Village (across the street from last year's location), Sundays 1-5pm starting May 2nd.

I will have my massage chair set up in SoapWorks, Etc (located next to the public restrooms) during market hours.  Come on into the A/C and peruse the offerings of local artisans, sign-up for knitting classes, sample the handcrafted soaps, and get a snippet of massage.

Price Increase for Family Club

Effective 4/1/10, the pricing for The Family Club will change.

Originally the 6-month subscription service was $50 per month for one 60-minute massage session.  Additional sessions that month were $35 each.  Also a gift certificate for a 60-minute session was received, along with a 10% discount on other products and services.

The pre-paid option was $250, with two gift certificates received.  All other aspects were the same.

After March, the 6-month subscription will still be $50 per month, but the additional sessions will be $40 each.  There will not be a gift certificate received, nor a discount available.  The pre-paid option will be $275, additional sessions will be $40, one gift certificate will be received, and the discount will not be available.

Any Family Clubs purchased prior to 1 April 2010 will continue under their original terms until their completion.  The website will reflect these changes once they are in effect.
