Hemp Bath

Brand spanking new! *spank* Hemp Bath!

Hemp Bath first debuted Jul 23, 2009 on Etsy.com with wonderful response from the crafting community and public! 100% positive feedback with over 400 sales in only a few months! I sadly had to close down Hemp Bath due to Etsy fees climbing and so I could focus on expanding Luxury Lane Soap for the new year...

2010 has been more than phenomenal. I can't say it enough. I can not thank everyone enough for their support and input. Through this boost in traffic and exposure, I feel confident re opening my very first sub division. ♥

How is Hemp Bath different? After developing and perfecting three essential products, Gentle Hemp oil Soap, Hemp Silk Shampoo and Hemp Satin Body Cream, I have then been able to focus primarily on my fragrance blends. One of my most FAVORITE things to do is hand blend scents. I *see* fragrances. When I smell something my head fills with swirls of color and vibrant imagery. Synesthesia much?

Hemp Bath is an outlet for me to take what I love (again!) and turn it into something new and different. I have a Product Information page which goes into detail about the three avaiable skin care formulas and from there you get to jump right into choosing your scent! From Aquatic to Earthy, I have covered every angle on the scent wheel and only plan on expanding my blending abilities!

Hemp Bath is very different from Luxury Lane Soap in that I am tapping into a different part of myself. Luxry Lane Soap is very visually based, a place where I can perfect my molding techniques, I can work my hands at organic cold process products and I can offer something for everyone. From every member in the family to all of your friends!

Hemp Bath is something new in that it focuses on the individual. On YOU. Reading scent descriptions, layering different scents to produce your own individual tastes, exploring complex blends to single notes, it is 100% based on what you want.

So, why Hemp Oil for body care?

"With regular use, Hemp Oil can help slow down the effects of skin aging, while reducing skin discomfort by soothing and restoring dry or damaged skin. Leaving the skin smooth and moisturized, it as been shown to relieve the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis and even acne.

These healing enzymes and vitamins can be absorbed directly into the skin to replenish missing oils, without leaving a greasy residue."

Looking for even more information? I am working on a Hemp Bath FAQ! Any questions you have that aren't yet answered? Do let me know and I can add information right away.

As with Luxury Lane Soap, I want to develop Hemp Bath around my friends and customers! ANY suggestions, any scent blends you are looking for, anything, do not hesitate to ask. ♥

Thank you for your continued support. For your love, your tweets, your high fives and for reading my mushy blog. *squeeeeeze*

Pumpkin Cupcake Whipped Up Sugar Scrub

"We don't have mistakes here, we just have happy accidents" - Bob Ross

While trying to develop a scrub for my beloved Numbers Geek, Kathy, I began experimenting....for weeks...and months...finally when I thought I had found the perfect recipe, I...failed! *gasp*...and then I immediately threw four pounds of product on the floor...and then cussed...and then went and pouted in my bedroom. True story.

An hour later, I had an epiphany! My Whipped Soap Frosting! My prize Pumpkin Cupcake scent! Organic sugar, pure unrefined botanicals!! Ahhh! Mix mix mix... *lighting bolts* *me crying out "LIVE!"*

*silence* *SQUEEE* ...Just ask @geekwithsoul ...I am THRILLED about this product. ♥

Heck freakin' YEAH! I had finally done it! The most delightful, clean-rinsing, moisturizing body scrub EVER!

"This luxurious sugar scrub is unlike any other you've tried! As an exfoliant, raw organic sugar combines wonderfully with the anti-oxidizing and healing properties of almond and avocado oils to provide unsurpassed, deep-skin hydration..." It's true. I am in love...

Not only that, but I ran out of 4-ounce jars, so this epic Pumpkin Cupcake Whipped Up Sugar Scrub comes to you in a limited, whopping 12-ounces!

I am seriously excited about this, and I want YOU to try it! I am giving away 2 jumbo travel jars to two lucky people! What do you have to do to win such a prize? Just leave a comment down below and I will randomly select a winner using one of those fancy random number generators. Oh the future...

Luxury Lane Soap supports UberDork Cafe!

One of the many great things about the magical interwebs is the ability to help and support people you've never met, but know better than your next door neighbors...

There have been many, many blogs going around with a common and reoccurring theme: Friendship and the common and overpowering appreciation for people simply paying it forward. This is how small little acts of kindness and goodwill lead to bigger and better good things, a snowball of *snugs* if you will. Even if you're stuck in a one-horse town (raises hand!), you can still help change the world by spreading that goodwill all across the globe and help reward with kindness and love those other folks out there doing the same thing.

Essentially, we are rebuilding ourselves through these blinky, bright lovable digital monsters sitting in front of us.

I need you to do me a HUGE favor. Click on this link ---> http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/812334444/uberdork-cafe-a-dork-with-a-dream

Now you either:
A) Clicked on that link and got lost and may never make it back to this page because you are looking at an ad for a free toaster and you want to click it just to see what the deal is. You want to know how they are going to totally rip you off and what is the gimmick? The angle? What do they REALLY want from you? Or maybe it actually is a pretty sweet toaster. EIGHT slices of bread? Srsly?!

or

B) You made it back here and you are genuinely interested this time around.

The rest of this is written for Group B. Group A, You ROCK those toasters! (please fwd me the info...)

So, Group B. You want to know why I asked you here? Simple. I love my internet friend Natali. I have never met her face-to-face. I DO know she makes a sweet ass Yoda Cake and that her daughters love the heck out of their momma. She is intelligent and funny in ways I cant even express. (She can though, go check out her rocking blog!) I know these things about Natali. I know that if we knew each other IRL, we would take our kids bowling and be the cool group. Our kids would probably beat us at bowling...totally...I just beat my highest score of 44 with a 53. ...We would skate too. We would be besties.

Natali isn't the only one either...there are SO many people I would jump in my van and go see, right this second. And I could be myself. You know who you are., cause you listen to me rant about being crazy and you support me for the one moment when it all falls apart. You've never met me and you help me, thank you. Really :)

Dude. This is the longest blog I have ever written. Ever. I am NOT known for long ranty blogs. I hardly ever even finish a sentence...

What does this all mean? (because you know I always have a point!) Well, this all means Natali's dream is very important to me and I need you to help her out. Even a dollar brings her one tiny step closer. A LOT of us know that one teeny tiny step forward can sometimes be the difference between crashing or having your dream fulfilled. We also know that from every major crash, there is a larger and wiser dream built upon it.

So @KyleeLane asks YOU: Please help a sista out. My girl needs your monies and I am telling you she is legit.

If you cant help monetarily, spread the word! Tell your family, tell your friends, heck, tell your enemies and they might even mend their ways! Light one more fire with her dream. Plant the seed of an idea in our youth, sitting on the internet right now, linking and posted and reading...and educating themselves. Spread the word so that even IF Uberdork Cafe doesn't get built right away, even if it is an idea that floats away because we lose track of whats important, even if the worst happens, you know what? You will have passed along the IDEA that we all need to chase our dreams as often as we can and with as much love as we can muster! "IDEAS ARE BULLETPROOF" and who knows...someone may accidentally come across your blog through a link on Twitter, or a mini-feature you wrote, and then that idea is passed on and inspires others.

What we put out into the world, we pass on to our youth. What ideas are we leaving them? You know -- the ideas THEY will one day take and grow up and teach THEIR children. (Hopefully also passing along the idea that they want to take care of their awesome parents and give them cake and not put them in a nursing home...and never sell the OLD car because it will one day be worth a lot of money. Do not lose sight of the past.)

So wrapping all this up in a neat little package with a bow and lots of little hearts in it: As I stated at the beginning, each of us, no matter where we are, now have the ability to help those like-minded peeps who look to build a better world one ♥ or *snug* at a time. And we all have the ability to help those who want to take some of that geeky love and build something we can all touch and experience in the real world with it. Not to shut anyone out, not to say "Geeks Only, No One Else Allowed" but to set up the kind of place where all that great energy geeks have can be shared and grow.

Please. G33Kmade and Luxury Lane Soap support UberDork Cafe and we ask you, as one group of friends to the next, help Natali out and THANK YOU!!!!

+10 if you made it this far. You just earned the achievement "Make it through Kylee's Longest Blog Post EVER!" If we ever meet in person, I owe you a hug in real life. (heart)
