The F Word

Missi Burgess - Tuesday, March 20, 2012

It's true.

This time of year, we say the F word an awful lot in the soap room. 

You hear it occasionally throughout the month of February.

But by March, it's all over the place.

Farmers Markets.

What'd you think I was talking about?!

We are getting applications in the mail, and plan to return to all of our usual spots.

We spring cleaned the soap room to get ready for the onslaught of insanity that is about to hit as we scurry to make enough soap for all our Farmers Market peeps.

So shiny and organized!

And of course this year we'll be letting Evie, our two year old, run the show again.

That's behind the scenes last season at the Homegrown Alabama market in Tuscaloosa.

You'll find us faithful every week at : Calera Farmers Market on Tuesdays from 3-6 pm,  Homegrown Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Thursdays from 3-6 pm, and Helena Market Days on Saturdays from 8-noon. We hope to see you there!

It's March! We've almost made it through the winter. (Was that winter we just has here in Alabama? Hard to tell!)

Not only are we here to help you get your skin ready to radiate in the sun, we have some new stuff to give away this month!

(Stick around for details on the giveaway below)

 

First, the radiating in the sun. Or sweating. Or glistening, like we Southern Belles do. We have a new flavor of Pitty Party for you! It's been my privilege to test this out and I am beyond thrilled. I put some Geranium Lime PittyParty on yesterday morning. It powered through my day with five kids at my heels. It kept me nicely scented all night long with a newborn, and y'all.... I still smelled great after my workout with Jillian Michaels this morning! I'd say we have a winner here! If you like to smell pretty at your pitty party, try some out!

 

 

 

Last summer, many of you got to try the Cedarwood and Lavender Pitty Party and have not ceased to ask for more. Finally, I am happy to present it to you as a nice manly addition to our line of under arm warriors. It's here to stay, people. Get it before it's hot. Hehe.

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, one last new kid. I've been wanting to make a lip balm that was slightly tinted and shimmery for a while now, and I finally did it. Oh, and I added a splash of Vanilla. Because anything yummy and shimmery should include vanilla. A little Pink Grapefruit and Vanilla shimmer for your pout!

 

We did sneak one in that isn't new, but it does look a bit different than you might be use to seeing. We are now infusing the Nettle extract into the oils we use in our Nettle Shampoo Cube instead of just sprinkling them in. Thus, it has a darker color now. We think you'll find it has made your favorite shampoo cube even better!

 

March Specials!

We had to do a play on March 17th being St. Patrick's Day. It's some sort of unspoken rule. So, we present you with 17% off our favorite get ready for the warm weather products!

You can't cry at this party!

Brent Burgess - Saturday, March 05, 2011

Just because we call it Pitty Party doesn't mean we want to make you cry!

We released the beta version of our new Pitty Party
All-Natural Aluminum-Free Deodorants shortly before Christmas last year.

You may not know this, but we have a system for trouble shooting new products. First, we give it out to all the guinea pigs we can find. If the product in question meets our test group's demands, we offer it discounted to our larger customer base.

We did just that with the Pitty Party deodorants and we want to say Thank You for all the feedback.

First, we got it too hard. (Sorry.)

Then we made it too soft. (Sorry again.)

Eventually, we got it juuuuuuust right. Soft enough for our male users, and hard enough not to make a mess and go on smoothly. If you bought your Pitty Party around the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011, chances are you got one of the beta versions. (Sorry. Again.)

Still crying?

There was just one more FAQ about the natural deodorant darkening some fabrics.

There is a very short answer to that question:

You're probably using too much! In perfecting our recipe, we have added more essential oils for stronger anti-odor benefits, so you don't need as much. (We've added "apply sparingly" to the labels to help you remember.) To the best of our knowledge it is the coconut oil that is darkening under arm fabric and this is totally preventable by just swiping once and allowing your under arms to dry a little before getting dressed. Easy!

Sage?

There seems to be confusion about the Clary Sage oil used in our Clary Sage and Lemongrass flavor of Pitty Party. Clary Sage is NOT the same thing as Sage! While Sage has a camphorous medicinal smell, you will find that Clary Sage has more of a floral citrus scent.

Not your cup of tea? We have a Spearmint Rosemary flavor too!

SWEATING IS GOOD, STINKIN' IS BAD

Why isn't our Pitty Party also an antipersperant? Simple. We're crazy enough to believe that there's a reason why you sweat. Your skin is responsible for removing 1/3 of your body's toxins. It's important to allow it to do that. You need to sweat. Your body needs to get that stuff out.
We want you to sweat. In fact, we encourage it.

But please don't stink.

That's where we're here to help. You want an under arm product that will work with your body's natural toxin eliminating processes. You want to smell good without giving your body more toxins to get rid of.

If this is you, we're having a Pitty Party and you're invited! Pitty Party All-Natural Aluminum-Free Deodorants are 15% off this month! Give it a try!
