thanks!

if you're gonna order from me:

1) as of today's date, my internet is kinda not working. so it may take me a day to respond to you. please do not be mad.

2) items will be shipped once payment is received. to seek my paypal account via email address search, please use sechita(at)gmail(dot)com.

3) bath bombs are made to order; they take 48 hours to dry in their molds. that means that if you order from me on tuesday & i receive payment on wednesday, they ship friday & not one day sooner.

4) a price list is in the works, along with product descriptions. please e-mail me regarding both. custom orders will be made at an increase of 20%.

5) fancy packaging is available. it will cost more; this will be determined once i receive your order & calculate the additional cost of both supplies & shipping.

thanks a million to the 2 ppl who read this blog. ;) i hope to change that soon!

bath bombs!

my first experiment with the bath bombs was, in a word, eventful. i used a recipe i found in venus zine & then used some pointers i'd seen on wikihow.com. the scent i used was essentially based on my 'golden lady' (oshun) bath salts; i thought it'd be a good idea, since this is an oshun-inspired product, to drizzle honey over it. the only problem, which i was simple enough to forget to do: oil the containers i used as molds. it's just like cooking; your pans can't be dry. i couldn't get the bath bombs out. clearly, i need my containers so i couldn't mail samples out (sorry, melissa). what have i ended up doing? putting the whole containers in my bathtub, of course! i close the drain while i run the shower and let my feet get their soak on. i found that it was really easy to clean the tub afterwards & that the scent of the bath bombs was really light compared to the bath salts. but, that's dependent on how much of the salts i use at a given time. at any rate, i now know what i need to do in order to successfully release my samples:
1) use ice cube trays and grease the things half to death w/ whichever scented oil i use in the bombs.
2) package them in wax paper or nice cellophane baggies when i send them, but keep them in an airtight rubbermaid or tupperware containter.
3) play w/ the recipes until i find something that really makes me happy.
4) continue to try the stuff out myself!

that's it for now, i guess. if you'd like a sample or have questions, leave me a message in the comments . . .

always dope,

lenée

the beginning :: welcome ::

by definition, a dope boy (or d boy) is:


Any person who distributes illicit substances. Most often used to describe a young male that sells to a specific geographic area or neighborhood, and most likely moves hard drugs (ex. cocaine, crack), as well as the standard marijuana and prescription pills. Mostly used in the Southern part of the US, even though its use has become more widespread due to the emergence of southern Rap in the mainstream.

dope, for me, is an old school adjective. of course, i know that 'dope' usually refers to any controlled substance. but, i'm not pushing dope. i'm selling bath products. salts, bath bombs, scrubs, with more items to come.
dope can be a mindstate. not just an appearance. know your worth, know what you have to offer the world, & know that you ought not be short changed at all. ever.
take the time to treat yourself right, & you will not be sorry!

this is just a bit of the philosophy of dopegirlfresh.

thank you for partaking.
