Worldly Wednesday

For the longest time I've said that I was going to post pictures of my travels, but have never done so...until now - and I guess on certain Wednesdays going forward. From now on, I've designated Wednesdays to be (drumroll please) Worldly Wednesday. I'll try to post as often as possible, but it may be like every other Wednesday or something.

So here's the first WW post. Pictures of Machu Picchu from my trip to Peru 2 years ago. It took my breath away.

The quintessential Machu Picchu picture from the caretaker's hut.

Entrance to the village

A sight to behold. What I saw when the fog lifted and the sun shone through.

Walking down the street in the "residential" neighbourhood.

We took an obscene amount of pictures during our trip. Next time, I'll post pictures of Cusco, Lima and Puno (Lake Titicaca - tee, hee.)

Home Stttrrreeetttch!

2009 is almost over. Can you believe it? Someone once told me that time goes by quicker as one gets older. This year, it seemed like I blinked and it was October. Guess I must be about 117 years old, at the rate time's flying for me.

Anyway, our Halloween fragrances from the Scary Movies Collection will mysteriously vanish by October 31st, so please get your orders in now. Once again, you've made this collection the best-selling one in CLC's history. Top 3 scents from this collection are: I Scream Sandwich, Dial M for Marshmallow and Ghost Sips. The most commented on scent from this collection is The Bridezilla of Frank N. Stein. Apparently many of us have suffered in the hands of a Bridezilla. From outrageous gift registries and ghastly bridesmaid dresses to a choreographed interpretative dance number of Josh Grobin's You Raise Me Up...courtesy of the groom and his mother. What?!!

We've received numerous requests to bring back our Fragrance Bar, so we'll do so in November. Not sure what the exact date is yet since it's going to take a lot of administrative work to get the pages up and scent choices loaded in the drop-down menu.

In December we're thinking of offering some gift sets. As many of you know, I travel home to the Philippines the last two weeks of December so we need to get these goodies made and out the door in record time before CLC (and I) go on holiday break.

It's my favourite time of year and I'm so excited for all the we have in store for the rest of the year.
