Hello, everyone! Just a quick note to thank Ms. Penny Cheng at Jewelry by Saniki Creations for featuring me on her blog today! It was a very nice surprise and it made my day! Please take a look and give me some comment love! :)

Meet Betty Miller of Magic Senses – Featured Artist

You can find our soaps on our website at www.MagicSenses.com!

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to share our half-page to be published in the Event Guide for the GBK Academy Awards Gift Lounge. We hope you’ll like it. Big thanks to The Artisan Group for including us! A link to the Event Guide showing all the artisans coming soon!

You can find our soap bars at www.MagicSenses.com. Some of these bars may be out of stock due to the huge demand but, don’t worry! We’ll be making more!

As you all know from our announcement, Magic Senses® soap will be displayed at the GBK Academy Awards (Oscars) Gift Lounge in February, 2012. We’ll be represented by the lovely ladies at The Artisan Group: Valerie Propst Guerrero and Nikki Cutro.

After building our display almost a month ago, now it’s time to make the soap bars that will go to Hollywood! Our display holds 5 bars of soap in the following fragrances: Cherry Vanilla, Watermelon, Lemon Lavender, Two to Tango, Seaside and a “Believe in You” Butterfly soap (scented in soft Sweet Pea).

This morning we finished cutting and wrapping Cherry Vanilla and Seaside; from each batch, we chose a winning bar to be famous in a couple of months:

Cherry Vanilla Handmade Glycerin Soap by Magic Senses

Seaside Handmade Glycerin Soap by Magic Senses

Seaside, one of our most popular Fresh and Clean fragrances, will be available at www.MagicSenses.com starting in January, 2012.

Here is a “behind the scenes” picture of our knives, cutting board and Xacto knife…

Stay tuned for more Oscars Preps pictures and news! And visit our website to get some soap gifts! Last day to order this year: Sunday, December 18.

Today we were absolutely delighted to find out that Caitlin Pitts, one of our lovely customers, featured us on her beauty blog! As you know, we love feedback, any kind of feedback (!) as it helps us improve our products.

“After receiving a Magic Senses glycerin soap as a gift, I had to look more into this local company! I logged onto their website to learn more about the company and ended up placing an order within about ten minutes. “Lemon Drops” and “Cherry Vanilla” were among many scents that sounded right up my alley.

Lemon Drops and Cherry Vanilla glycerin soaps can be found on our website, at www.MagicSenses.com.

Thank you, Caitlin, for the honest and encouraging review! It was a lovely surprise and we appreciate it very much!

We have very exciting news! In February 2012, we’ll be participating to the GBK Academy Awards Gift Lounge!

Our designer glycerin soap will be displayed for celebrities to see and smell. It will also be included in one hundred swag bags for attending guests.

We haven’t decided which of the soaps to send yet. We are debating if we should make a LIMITED EDITION design or just send some of our most loved ones… We’ll have to make a decision soon so if you have a top favorite, let us know below!

Many thanks to ALL our customers, friends and family for choosing, using and spreading the word about our handcrafted soap throughout the years.

Big thank you to The Artisan Group! They’ll be our ambassadors to this very exciting event.

As we go along, we’ll keep you updated on our journey; we’ll post pictures and other info. Please join us on Facebook and Twitter and be the first to know details of our “behind-the-scenes” process. You can even recommend us to Oprah, if you love our product!
