Soundtrack



Candles Candles Candles!!!!!!!!

Soundtrack:
Brian Eno - Here come the warm jets
Yo La Yengo - Anything
French Music - Anything

So I am busy preparing for the crave party as well as applying for a new show and all I can say is.... I now have wax covering all my clothes and even my slippers.
I am so excited, nervous, scared, thrilled and about another billion things all at once.

Soy candles are coming this summer!!!

Ok.... Too busy to write but I wanted to say that new photos of the candles will be posted soon.

Good Times

Have you ever just felt like the world was sprinkled with Fairy Dust and all of your dreams were coming true?
And not the kind of true where it is too easy, but the kind of dreams turned reality where you work hard and are rewarded sweetness from the universe?

This is how my life has been feeling for the last month or so. I have taken many huge steps towards my dream of running Odessa's Herbals and everyday has become an adventure between the Universe and Myself to see which one of us can make the day even better.

I have two weeks until the Crave Party so I am in operation candle making mode. My work space is almost complete which means that my production will soon go up. Once everything is set up I will take loads of photos to show my readers.

I also have been meeting so many wonderful women who are changing the face of business. I think I will highlight those women on a monthly basis on my blog. It is so amazing to start to become a part of a community where people really want to help each other and be friends!

Spring Time

For everyone living in the Northwest it finally feels like Spring has Sprung.
The sun made an appearance this last week and my date book is filled to the brim with activities.

First, Odessa's Herbals will be having it's first public show as vendor at the Crave Party Seattle on February 25th. This a very exciting event and one we have heard so much great stuff about.
If you are near Seattle on February 25th and feel like getting pampered please attend the event and stop by my booth to say hello!

I am also in my last week of the Ladies who Launch group. Joining this group has been one of the best experiences for me. I recommend this to any woman who is looking to become self employed or a woman business owner looking to expand their network.
The next group I am considering joining is called Startup Junkie. This group is for the women who is looking for the next phase of getting her company moving into the fast lane.

I also have had many AIGA events in Seattle in the last month. And, I joined the Rainier Club in Seattle. This club has many networking opportunities for women who are involved in all kinds of business.

To sum up my life, I work my 40 hour a week job. I make candles all weekend long, I attend events in the evening in Seattle and I have become a networking queen bee, all in the last month!!!!!

I will be adding new candles to my website this week and I am hoping to add new products to the site by this summer.

I hope all is well for everyone!
