Introducing Foxy Body and Home Fragrance
Hello my Foxy friends! Today, that term of endearment takes on a whole different meaning.
I’ve been keeping a little secret. A very good secret. A secret that took some planning and mixing and testing and a very talented creator. The creator was key you see. Because while I get BIG ideas, my talent in this area was very, very little. As in non-existent. I will not even begin to take credit for the gorgeous new creation. But I will introduce you.
This…. is Foxy.
I’ll start at the beginning. Where most stories start.
One day, a tiny little thought popped into my head. This happens often. I’m sure it happens to you too! But this time, instead of letting it slip away, or rattling off a laundry list of reason why I couldn’t do it… I plunged. I plunged right into it before I could talk myself out of it! Fortunately for me, I knew just the person to talk to about my tiny little thought. I was already a huge fan of Tanya Rasley, the owner of Canard Labs, so I spoke to her about my proposal, hopping she’d want to be my lab partner on this experiment. I know some people who were interested in something like Scentsy so it was fun to try to experiment with fragrances.
Lucky us, she said yes. And, she was just as excited about creating an original, custom-blended scent as I was. I got to go “behind the curtain” at Canard Labs, while we sniffed and mixed and concocted. Tanya guided me through identifying what I wanted to capture, and I think we executed it brilliantly!
Foxy is everything I wanted it to be, and more.
It opens with zingy, exuberant citruses, like Japanese Grapefruit, then slips into soft, vintage florals like Jasmine, Lily and Honeysuckle, before settling into the warm final notes of Musk, Cedar, Amber, Sandalwood and Vanilla Bean.
It’s uplifting, graceful, comforting & soulful.
All wrapped up in a aqua ombre bar sprinkled with golden sunshine and a dash of shimmer.
It all started with the soap. I began with the idea to have a custom scented soap to sell in my booth at Vintage 101. Well… that very quickly became soap & candles, because the scent was so wonderful.
Next came the addition of the body & linen spray… and at that point, I figured why stop there!
You really need to be able to fragrance-layer the soap with a face & body cream so you can finish with the body & linen spray. That is just common scents. (pun intended)
So there I was with several products, that needed a moniker.
… she pretty much named herself.
Foxy
I hope you’ll love her as much as I do.
Thank you. Thank you so much for being here so I can share my news with you. It’s really been an amazingly exciting journey to get here. I look at that pretty little bar… and I can’t believe she is mine. To share.
PS: Secrets are really hard to keep, and since they about make me pop, I did preview Foxy to a few close blogging friends and family. Well, I was told I was mad, and I better get ready to accept orders. But because upon conception, I intended Foxy to be sold only in my booth… I wasn’t prepared to offer her online and ship. I think I’ve come up with a solution. I’ll be offering Foxy in a pop-up style buying environment on my Instagram account. I’ll have a set number of items available, ready to ship. Once that set number is claimed, the sale will be over. I know not everyone has an Instagram account, but for now, it’s the best solution I have to offer. This is all still very new, and I hope you’ll hang in there while I get the hang of it.

Your products sound wonderful. I do not have an instagram account now, but maybe I will start one pretty soon.! The face and body cream sounds so lovely. And the candle. I want it all!
Please keep us posted about when the products will be offered on Instagram.

I sure will. I’m shooting for this week.
I’ll probably send a quick email, instead of a full post.
Have a lovely night.
