This and that ...

A belated Happy New Year. It is terrible that half the month of January has flown by before my wishing our great customers the best for 2010. There's a good reason; we are incredibly busy!

Since mid-December we have shipped more than 1000 gallons of product (sugar scrubs, salt scrubs, bath salts, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, massage oils, cremes etc) to Sandals in the Caribbean and to Aria Spa, the cornerstone of the new Las Vegas complex City Center. City Center is a 7-8 billion dollar project and we are supplying all the treatment products for their spa. Go to www.citycenter.com and get prepared to be amazed.

In addition to the gallons, we are working on 100,000 retail bottles for our various customers. 2009 was a banner year for us and we are grateful that the recession has not slowed our growth. We are thankful to our customers and it just goes to prove that when you never compromise quality and offer a good value, it works.

Some notes:

1. We welcome Brittany Quave to our staff. She is handling our mail orders, customer service and other duties replacing Kelsey Carter who has been accepted to nursing school and started classes this month.
2. I will be in Hawaii next month as well as Reno and Las Vegas.
3. Our new packaging for our Organic line has been a great success. Our retail sales were up 40% for the Oil and 35% for the creme.
4. We are now supplying amenities for Amelia Island Plantation and Spa. This is in addition to the spa products and retail we already provide for them.
5. The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay is doing well with their new retail line we developed. They are in the wine country and the line includes products with Cabernet and Chardonnay essences.

There's much, much more and I am personally thankful for our excellent staff and cherished customers.

Best regards
Charley
