What’s New at Ayelet’s Bath and Body Shop?











It has been soooo….. Loooong since I posted a blog… I know I know.. Was I lazy? I don’t think so, just busy working on new products to my customer’s requests.

Since we are in a very challenging time, searching for a high quality natural and affordable skin care products becomes very important, I have been asked over and over again to create specific products geared to a specific condition or skin type like this Brightening Under Eye Cream with Cucumber and Coffee Extracts contains SPF 15

I have also been asked to create a Sunscreen Anti Aging Body lotion with an SPF 30 by a few customers would like an all natural and safe product they can use on their family when they go to the pool or any outdoor activities and is Anti aging as well.

I also listen to my friends that became my customers meeting them at the GYM.. Like Dianna.. She say’s “I am a clean freak..i work with my hands without rubber gloves and would love to have a REALY good Hand cream, I still haven’t found “THE CREAM”, so here I was working on developing a formulation for “THE CREAM”… she Love, Love s it and so many of my customers,! So here it is Happy Hands.

Since working out at the GYM is a big part of my life, I get so many special requests; the one request I hear over and over again is that after a good foot soak they would like a cooling and moisturizing foot cream they may help achy tired feet and will help reduce some of the swelling as well, I went to work on a reformulation of my previous cream that was not vegan, this Is Vegan friendly. And it smells sooo.. Yummy.. i named it Fancy Feet
So thanks to you my customers and friends Ayelet’s shop is expending. I am open for comments and ideas and more requests from you for new products!
Ayelet.

A Working Day In My life

I have been asked over and over again.. how do i manage to do it all by myself!

Well.. it's not easy.. especialy when having Mayasthenia Gravis but to keep fit mentally healthy i learned i need to have that discipline that i never had . hey i was a rebel OK? I think being a Drill Sergent for two years made me much stronger. I was lucky enough to learn through the army ( mandatory where i come from) getting dressed and fully equipped in a matter of seconds, all about perseverance, determination, Patience, and getting things done even if it takes 2 days in a row.

I get up every morning at 5:am, rinse my face, put up my electric water heater for some coffee, while the water is heating up, i step into the living room and turn on the TV, and the Comp..
go back to the kitchen and make my coffee, i need 2 cups to get me going, yes! yes! while i check my emails and etsy sales and massages, listen to the GMA channel 7 In NY till 6:am.

Time to hop in to the shower, scrub.. a dub.. so nice and warm .., i don't want to get out.....get in to my sweat suit, and go to the GYM, i may take a yoga class, or do some weight training, maybe i will be in the mood for an hour and a half of walking on the treadmill, I love the spinning classes their, i love to sweat, make more friends which most of them become my customers, now i feel so relaxed, i strech downstairs, and had back home, i am ready to roll!

Yes of course i take another shower, i love to shower ( don't have time for bath lately)
get dressed again with my work clothes, say my prayers, and start work day.

It's around 10: am now, i may need to make some face cream, or whipped body souffle so i melt all the butters and oils and let them cool, I start by printing all my orders, including orderes outside etsy, i am preparing products, packaging and labeling , and printing shipping labels, marking shipped on my etsy shop, or wherelse, depending on the amount of ordres, i would have lunch by 2:30- 3:pm Yes late..

I don't like to wait for the mail pick up, i make a drop off myself sprinting to the post office before 5 pm.
(If i don't have many orderes, i like to make soap in the morning, i have better lighting and my creative mode is on!)

I sprint back home, finish making the cream.s.. now during the course of the day.. i get tones of emails and convos, and like to answer as quick as possible...

Is it 6:pm already? i am ready to make dinner now Yes.. i do cook, remember i was a chef for many years.. and when hubby comes home we like having Dinner at 7-:30 pm~ actually i like it early.

I am still working.. back in the comp working on the monthly newsletter, maybe ordering something on Etsy, writng a blog, networking, i really need someone to help me with that. it's so fun but such a time consuming and realy crucial for the business...

I have to have 2 cups of herbal tea and a peice of cake, while sipping.. i will try to cach a TV program, before i know it it's almsot midnight... i will do inventory tomorrow morning!

Nighty Night!
