Vacation Mode

This was a marathon of a holiday season. Thank you all for keeping me so busy this year. All orders have been shipped -- yay! My shop will be in vacation mode until about January 6 while I spend some holiday time with my family. I have lots of epic plans for new products in the new year, including, as always, new lip balm flavors!


Happy holidays!

Epically Epic is now a registered trademark!

Epically Epic ® !

Well, it took a while, but I have gone through the entire process to make Epically Epic my own legal registered trademark. I was inspired to do this when I discovered that cyber-squatters had taken the domain name epicallyepic.com (see what they did with it, here grrrrrr.) It's nice to know that I'll have some legal recourse if someone wants to 'borrow' my business name in the future. If you need advice on trademarking your business name, feel free to contact me :)

My trademark was published in the Trademark Official Gazette on November 27. Pretty interesting to see all the trademarks that have been published recently, including Isaac Mizrahi.

I want to thank all my wonderful customers for helping me reach the 10,000 sale milestone on Etsy! To show my appreciation, I wanted to have a big holiday sale this year. Use the coupon code CELEBRATE at checkout to get 15% off your orders until Monday, November 12, 2012!

4 New Holiday Lotions

I have been inspired to make a bunch of new holiday products this year. Being a new Mom has made me sentimental about childhood memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Here are four new lotions for your enjoyment!


 

Gingerbread House ~ A comforting scent to capture the pure joy of gingerbread houses. Back in grade school, the best moment of the year was always the day before winter break when we got to make gingerbread houses. Sweet delicious candy and gingerbread, all held together with vanilla icing!

Sugar Cookie ~ Here for the holidays, the warm buttery sweetness of fresh-baked sugar cookies!

Snow Day! ~ During all my years in elementary school, we only had one snow day, but it was wonderful! (The snow plows in the Chicago area are all too efficient -- grrrrr.) This lotion is scented with freshly fallen snow, spruce pine, cedarwood, and peppermint candy to bring back those happy winter memories.

Apple Pie  ~ Another delicious scent for the holidays, fresh baked apple pie! Sliced Granny Smith apples, fall spices, brown sugar, and buttery pie crust. Yum....

Gardening Fun

This is the first summer since I left Mom's for college maaaany years ago that I have a real backyard. Here's a photo of a Yellow Swallowtail enjoying our zinnia patch. Ahhhhh.
