Introducing Urban Botanic Home Collection

Did you know that your average 24 oz candle burns for about 10 hours?

You do know that it uses an open flame and releases soot, and chemicals in the air and the melted wax is hot!

And what happens when your candle is only 1/4 of the way burnt, but you want a different scent? A lot of partial candles collecting in your cupboard, that’s what.

Now, with the Urban Botanic Home Collection, you no longer have any of those problems.

Just place 2-3 drops of Urban Botanic oil on the warming plate, turn it on and enjoy 6-8 hours of fragrance. Turn it off, and the scent lingers.

Tired of that scent? Just wipe out the plate and try something new. Now dust collecting wax lumps here.

What if your fragrance recipe calls for more that 2-3 drops? No worries here either, just turn off your plate (remember the fragrance lingers) then turn it on the next day and enjoy. As long as there is oil in your plate, you don’t need to add more and your home will be scented.

For the month of September, all Signature Fragrance Collections ordered by customers will receive a FREE Oil Warmer Plate in their shipment. That’s an added $20 value!

Harvest: One each of Vanilla, Allspice, and Maple Spice

A long time

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted. I hadn’t realized that it had been 3 months since I last posted. I got really swamped with life. I had school things where I work, school things for the six of my kids still in school, I had two of them graduate this year, my daughter in law had my first grandchild, I did two craft fair booths, held some local intensive training, cleaned out my flower beds that have been waiting for three years, did some Urban Botanic workshops, lost a hard drive and all of the information on it and that is just for starters.

So, now summer has started and I have decided to hold a summer special. Here it is;
Go to my website and take the personality test

Valentine’s is coming

This year, why don’t you get the man in your life something special? We have 66 perfume oils that you can mix and match to make something special just for him. A body spray perhaps. Or maybe a massage lotion is what he would like. Or how about a bubble bath just for the two of you.

You can mix up anything. Naked, Sandalwood, and Egyptian Musk or maybe you would want to try something not so fruity. How about something that is a little deeper like Oakmoss, Gardenia, Lemon, Cedarwood, Allspice. Or find something that is uniquely you and surprise him this year.

Direct Selling

Here are just a few quick facts about working from home in the direct selling industry.

In 2003, the US retail sales – this means all SHOPPING that took place in the US totaled 29.55 billion dollars.

73% – three quarters of ALL the shopping done in the US is done by face-to-face selling.

61% of all the US SHOPPING takes place right in someone’s home. This doesn’t count online shopping.

Now get this: 28% – over one quarter of all the retail shopping done in the US, is done in the home party industry.

What does this tell you about our culture in the US? This means that generally, people appreciate and believe in the home party industry. The numbers tell the story. People spend a lot of money at home parties. It’s a preferred way to shop.

HERE’S ANOTHER FACT:
In 2003 there were 13.3 million direct sellers in the US. 85% of them worked less than 30 hours per week, which means they were able to do their business alongside family and other jobs.

79.9% of people in the direct selling industry are female.
