big snow = lots of computer work. :) Our December Soap of the Month - Frankincense & Myrrh, is now online! It's SPECTACULAR! Terri used REAL frankincense and myrrh to scent this soap - not a synthetic scent. We have 40 bars of this fantastic soap - when it's gone, it's gone! I think this is a perfect item for stocking stuffers or secret santa gifts. The scent: heady, resinous, clean. Very unisex and quite luxurious.

ALSO! The December sale item - Whipped Shea Butters! By customer demand. Only $10 each! These are made with fair trade shea butter, and scented only with essential oils. That makes them the perfect environmentally friendly, socially conscious gift item. Plus, they smell great and moisturize like crazy. Stock up now!

Last but certainly NOT least, we are offering our holiday gift to you - $5 flat rate shipping from now until 2010! Great for shipping gifts to yourself...or to others! We gift wrap and include gift tags, with message of your choice, for no charge!

Luxury soap of the month FRESH AIR is now available! It's lovely - brisk, fresh, clean, crisp - just like the fall air. ahhhh.....


ALSO! Now until October 20th - our whipped shea butters are a whopping $5 off. Yes, $5 off - they were 15$, now $10, so get them while you can!

Everybody now, sing together (Loudly and off-key please - it's more fun that way)...

"Happy Birthday Dear Donna, Happy Birthday To Yoooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu"


That's right! It's Donna's 61st birthday, and to celebrate, she's requested that we offer 2 of her favorite products at a drastic discount!


Our 1 oz. facial serums are now $10 OFF - now only $20! These serums are WONDERFUL. Available in 3 types - for normal, oily/problem, or mature/dry skin formulations. We spent several months researching and testing various combinations of oils and essential oils, and LOVE the results. Facial serums are a super-concentrated moisturizer - you only need a few drops per application. The blends of oils/essential oils moisturize and tone your skin, yet are not at all heavy or greasy. You can apply makeup several minutes after putting on the serum. Customers have also told us they love these to use as hair serums, or to remove makeup at night.

Whipped shea butters are $5 off - now only $10!!!

Our whipped shea butters are simply divine. 100% natural (scented only with essential oils), these contain 70% Fair Trade shea butter. They're wonderfully moisturizing and can be used as an all-over body moisturizer, BUT, our customers love these as facial moisturizers too. The "Wise Woman" scent in particular has quite a cult following! The Simply Shea (uscented) version is a huge favorite of the fellows in our lives.

Sale prices good through March 8th....enjoy!!

We love giving out free samples.

If you've visited our shop, you've seen/browed in the infamous "sample basket". It is a huge brown basket that sits on the edge of our shop counter, and we just keep it full of - well, samples. Whatever we have made last, our whatever bits of soap we get from Karla. When we pack orders, we'll usually toss in a few samples too. It's our way of saying "thank you, and here's something else we hope you will like".

Well, I'm feeling rather generous right now - because there are some AMAZING samples in our basket right now.


Yesterday I bottled up 100 little sample bottles of our "normal" facial serum.


I also spent ages scooping bits of our Wise Woman Whipped Shea butter into sample-sized jars. There are about 75 of those.

Next, I'll cut up about 10 bars of these amazing Amber Resin Luxury Soaps.

SO - if you want a free sample of any - or all - of these items - just let us know when you place your next order. The catch? We have a Sample Sunday this week, so the samples will probably be gone by then. So, you've been warned! :)

Otherwise, it's a good week here. The sun is shining! I'll try to get some more farm pictures soon. Donna is feeling better, and we've got lots of orders and 2 wholesale orders to pack/deliver. Just a normal week here at Prairieland Herbs.
