<br />
I got this sweet note from one of my customers yesterday (used with permission), it SO made my day! <br />
<br />
<br />
"Hi Lucy. I don't write directly to shops very often but I had to write
and say how much I LOVE your mineral makeup! I've used mineral makeup
before, but only "big name" brands. I find yours to be totally
different. I bought four different shades (samples) of your moisture
max foundation, as I wasn't sure which one would match (I'm usually
quite fair, but currently have a tan). At least two of them match very
well, and I love that I can even use my fingers to apply it. I found
that the lightest shade works very well as an under eye concealer (much
better than any liquid or crayon concealer I have ever used. It doesn't
crease, doesn't settle into my wrinkles. It's PERFECT!). I also bought
two containers of the 3 in 1 colours. I love them too! I actually
went swimming wearing all your makeup the other day and came out looking
as fresh as when I went in! I love the smell of the "toffee" lip tint
too"<br />
<br />
Gotta tell ya, I love my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/64083664/mum-mums-crafts-moisture-max-foundation?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Moisture Max Foundation</a> too LOL!! Now that I am thirty-*cough, cough* years of age, I appreciate being able to use something that doesn't accentuate fine lines, not that I have any ;)<br />
<br />
By the way!!!! Can I tell you how excited I am about my new LIQUID Mineral Foundation?!?!?! Dude, this stuff is rocking my world!! I will admit, I do not have time every day to bust out the brushes and get dolled up. Most days washing my face and putting on moisturizer is all I have time for. THAT'S WHY I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!! I am able to skip the moisturizer, and use this instead, because it's BOTH a moisturizer and a light to medium coverage mineral foundation in one!! My teen daughter loves it too!! Leaves your skin silky soft and provides enough coverage for most people to feel fabulous! Quick and EASY! You can also use it UNDER your powder foundation for full coverage, and still not look caked up with makeup!<br />
<br />
I am working on packaging for these and will be introducing the first 4 shades SOON! These are a perfect match to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/63237875/mum-mums-crafts-mineral-silk-foundation?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Silk Foundation</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/64083664/mum-mums-crafts-moisture-max-foundation?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Moisture Max Foundation</a> shades, so it will be easy to find your perfect shade!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
SO, here are some great new things I have to offer, for the most sensitive among us! I have found that most people who have super sensitive skin, and can't seem to find ANYTHING they can use on their skin without getting irritated are reacting to the preservatives in their skin care. This is a big problem, because most of the time chemical preservatives are just necessary!! BUT, I wanted to offer some things for these people, so that they can still feel great about themselves and take good care of their skin. There are four new items I have to offer that are all 100% natural and excellent choices for the most sensitive skin!<br />
<br />
First there is my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/153823780/happy-face-cleansing-oil-makeup-remover" target="_blank">new Happy Face Cleansing Oil</a>. This is a great start to your skin care routine! You can use this alone, or as a makeup remover and then use another cleanser if you wish. The beauty of this stuff is that it can be used for the "oil cleansing method" in which you clean your skin with just oil! Those of you who have tried this method may have been a bit annoyed with using vegetable oil out of your kitchen, which simply doesn't measure up. I made this with YOU in mind! Enjoy :)<br />
<br />
Next up I have two masks to detoxify, exfoliate and bring out the best in your skin! One for skin that tends to be <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/120706372/happy-face-claryfying-mask-for-oily?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">more blemished/oily</a> and one for skin that is on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/111137706/happy-face-refining-mask-for-sensitive?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">the dry/sensitive</a> side. Both of these masks come in powder form, so that you can have fun mixing your own masks! Add whatever you wish, yogurt, honey, milk, or of course water ;) Make a little at a time, just mixing up one spoon of powder with your choice of liquid, voila! <br />
<br />
And to round up this all natural skin care line I have my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/123043895/moisturizing-oil-by-mum-mums-crafts-for?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Happy Face Moisturizing Oil</a>! This stuff with rock your world, for real. I LOVE IT!!! Just a few drops moisturizes your entire face and neck, firming the skin, deeply moisturizing, and helping to balance your skin. Just trust me, this is awesome!<br />
<br />
So there you have it! All you super sensitive folks out there, ENJOY!!! :) Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-79852921057260753792012-09-24T09:35:00.000-07:002012-09-24T09:35:06.236-07:00New Products, New Page, and Other NewsSo, I've been busy and truly wondering, how do people with 3 kids or more really keep up with everything? I sure am struggling to keep up. If it's not one thing it's ten!! Mum Mum's Crafts has kept me EXTREMELY busy lately, to the point that I just don't have time to list all the new items I have come up with, or even keep things made and in stock! Gah!! My goal is to keep things running smoothly and not get stressed out or overwhelmed, and then someone gets a cold around here and spreads it around to everyone else and, well, you get the picture. Busy!<br />
<br />
What I can tell you is that I am setting a goal for myself to get these new things listed by November! I have 2 new lipsticks, 2 new blushes, 2 new masks, 1 new men's deodorant, TONS of new makeup brushes, and just got the supplies in today to make some new limited edition PRESSED mineral makeup for the holidays! I want to do some fun little compacts with glam holiday looks. Of course, I have to make them and list them, so goal set!!! Challenge is on!!!<br />
<br />
Another fun new thing I am doing; <a href="http://hyenacart.com/stores/happybabybums/">I've started a new page on Hyena Cart! </a><br />
I've also got a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HappyBabyBums">new Facebook Page</a> about the new shop, where you will find lots of great items for cloth diapering your baby! I'm sewing things myself for this shop, as well as finding great products to sell at great prices from other companies. Of course it is still me behind the scenes, so you can count on fast service and help with questions any time you need it! I'm really excited to be working on something else I really love, cloth diapers! I also have LOTS of new things to list here, so keep an eye out for coming attractions if you love cloth diapers! <br />
<br />
Anyway, that is what is new around here. Right now this very moment my entire family has bad colds and we are laying low for now. But I am determined to get all this extra stuff listed! Wish me luck!! ~Lucy Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-85518413707019113762012-06-20T12:05:00.001-07:002012-06-20T12:05:24.719-07:00We've Been Busy!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And I have neglected this blog! Lots of things have been going on since I last posted in January! Some good, some bad, but mostly just busy. My baby girl turned one, I lost a dear friend and Mum Mum's has been growing in sales each month. So, today I celebrate the good things and had to update this blog with something!! More to come in the future when things slow down a little, IF things slow down a little......Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-89114592422416759432012-01-06T06:37:00.000-08:002012-01-06T07:04:03.467-08:00A Short Break<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tCzCgUwubUthvxLEQpqnFobCX8Ron8mUBg_oDGtTtXjKPfEthPb1DVRz4dX_Fd-ZvFA6BKD-UBSsHA8WHDRFQ82PznBeGNBL_hpqp5xd8XnidE38-cHZnicolRVs4MKQt92StkMThKq4/s1600/IMG_3391.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tCzCgUwubUthvxLEQpqnFobCX8Ron8mUBg_oDGtTtXjKPfEthPb1DVRz4dX_Fd-ZvFA6BKD-UBSsHA8WHDRFQ82PznBeGNBL_hpqp5xd8XnidE38-cHZnicolRVs4MKQt92StkMThKq4/s400/IMG_3391.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694534610807749762" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a pic of my littlest trooper :)<br /></div><br />I put my shop on vacation mode this week, but I will not be closed for long!

Let's talk about deodorant again, shall we? I was surprised to read recently that even some "natural" deodorants on the market today contain aluminum! Namely, those "crystal rock" deodorants that have been popular for many years, yup, they still have aluminum in them. <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/10/17/aluminum-containing-antiperspirants-contribute-breast-cancer.aspx">Read more about it here!</a> We already know aluminum increases the risks of developing Alzheimer's, but did you know it can also contribute to breast cancer!! <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/10/17/aluminum-containing-antiperspirants-contribute-breast-cancer.aspx">This article found on Dr. Mercola's website</a> explains recent findings linking antiperspirants and deodorants containing aluminum to breast cancer.<br /><br />The thing is many people will go ahead and take the risk in order to avoid offensive stinking. I mean really, who wants to smell bad?? About 4 years ago I was still using big-name antiperspirants and I started developing majorly swollen glands under my arms. It was painful and alarming and I knew it was because of the antiperspirants. So, I started buying "healthy" deodorants from the health food store....I tried every single one they had on the shelf and I still stunk. I mean, you know you really need something better when you stink 30 minutes after getting out of the shower!!<br /><br />So I started my quest to make a natural, aluminum free, paraben free, phthalate free deodorant that would actually WORK!!! I spent around 4 months of trial and error until I perfected my No Offense Deodorants. I worked on consistency and finding the right combination of ingredients to last without stinking and without toxic chemicals! I have to say, my deodorant is my invention I am most proud of. And when I closed my shop for maternity leave it was the one thing people were stocking up on in a big way! Why? Because it works and no one wants to smell bad!<br /><br />If you haven't tried my No Offense Deodorants you can find them on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mummumscrafts?section_id=5974026">Etsy</a> and on <a href="http://hyenacart.com/mummumscrafts/index.php?c=17">Hyena Cart</a>. My deodorant may take a little getting used to, it isn't clear! It goes on white and feels like a thick lotion. But in the long run it is so worth it! You don't have to feel like you have to risk your health in order to avoid stinking, alternatives are available ;) I make my No Offense Deodorants in men's, women's and unisex fragrances so that anyone can have a healthy alternative to stinky pits and toxic chemicals!<br /><br />~LucyLucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-25841354360280988402011-10-16T12:57:00.000-07:002011-10-16T13:13:03.209-07:00Off to a Walking Start<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipym-u1d22RkDBe0hCt4qlu1EaUaMrN2RXRxeWM5O3Yh5YgnUrt1frmr_GEVA_uEZKQDPOOrUCVfrmliUAKGbxAHEfT-lR-UOhdDDPT53wyFHrcNZ-UG45doIDaXUQ_suoF23tWkqaeIDH/s1600/P1000649.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 288px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipym-u1d22RkDBe0hCt4qlu1EaUaMrN2RXRxeWM5O3Yh5YgnUrt1frmr_GEVA_uEZKQDPOOrUCVfrmliUAKGbxAHEfT-lR-UOhdDDPT53wyFHrcNZ-UG45doIDaXUQ_suoF23tWkqaeIDH/s400/P1000649.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664182198617335202" border="0" /></a><br />So I've been back in business about a month now. Things have been sllllooooowww, both on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mummumscrafts?ref=si_shop">Etsy</a> and on <a href="http://hyenacart.com/mummumscrafts/">Hyena Cart</a>. I know a lot of that is because I've been so busy and haven't been listing things as much as I should. I am making new things and having a ball though!!<br /><br />Lipstick has been my new creative outlet! So far I've come up with 4 colors and I'm trying to come up with names at the moment so I can list them :) I have many more color ideas running through my head too. The trouble with being creative is that many times all the ideas running around in your head keep you awake at night... *yawn*<br /><br />I also am trying to work on new photos for my items. I would love some catchy ideas for photographing makeup if you have any! I have to work on capturing the colors accurately and artistically. My pics look blah to me right now, but maybe that's because I've been looking at them for years already! Time for some updated pics ;)<br /><br />Anyway, all that to say I feel like I am off to a walking start, not at all a running start. It's a very slow walk LOL, but at least I am not standing still ;)Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-65969511063043112362011-09-28T13:05:00.000-07:002011-09-28T14:02:51.873-07:00Oh My Happy Face!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2m6_qCOIx-U6TYMk1AuftDpqT42IlHXWd1nF6nw1xBE2HaWI-Tw9_93E-8pl51K85vcGS-DiElM7M1-NQCpNFQy0r_3JgHhT416XpxfjQVUPqGGok4VLgRgaS0EwSzVTp02oMEXOf1udX/s1600/P1000340.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2m6_qCOIx-U6TYMk1AuftDpqT42IlHXWd1nF6nw1xBE2HaWI-Tw9_93E-8pl51K85vcGS-DiElM7M1-NQCpNFQy0r_3JgHhT416XpxfjQVUPqGGok4VLgRgaS0EwSzVTp02oMEXOf1udX/s400/P1000340.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657504802629211634" border="0" /></a><br />I've been working on some amazing things over here, and let me tell you my skin is very happy about it! I have the joy of testing out all my new formulas and slathering them on my family members to see how wonderful they are. Man do I love my job!! I completed the core skin care products in my Happy Face line, now totally paraben free and better than ever! Most of the items are listed <a href="http://hyenacart.com/mummumscrafts/">here at my new Hyena Cart shop</a>.<br /><br />I've already completed the Deep Cleanser, Astringent, and Lotion for normal, combination, oily and acne prone skin as well as the Gentle Cleanser, Toner and Cream for normal, dry, sensitive and mature skin types. These are the core of the skin care set, for use twice a day. The Toner and Gentle Cleanser are not listed yet because I still need to take their photos ;)<br /><br />I also have luxurious eye cream and serum listed and ready to go! Both of these products will benefit people with any skin type. These are so pampering!! I feel like I've had a spa facial, but I didn't have to shell out the big bucks to get the results, and neither do you! These are available for great prices, and really you will love the results. People are noticing and commenting on how my skin, as well as my tester's skin, looks firmer, more even and younger!<br /><br />I'm also working on some simply amazing masks!! Four to be exact, two gel masks and two clay masks. I'm not quite done with these, but I've almost got them just right. More about these later ;)<br /><br />As I mentioned, I now have a shop on Hyena Cart! Since I came back to Etsy things have been very slow, so I wanted a site that I had more control over. Hyena offers me that! I'm working on putting up all my items over there and giving the page my own look. It's not finished yet, but it will be soon! If you haven't checked out Hyena Cart you should stop by, they have some lovely products available over there :)Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-68406647356985252242011-09-15T16:34:00.000-07:002011-09-15T16:41:01.832-07:00In My Spare Time...Hahaha!!! Yup, even as crazy busy I have been with three kids and homeschooling, I sometimes have a spare moment. This week, in my spare time, I managed to reformulate my No Offense Deodorant, came up with names for all the new products I have been working on, re-organized my work space, went through old paperwork and even designed a few new labels! Phew!<br /><br />I have some <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/69741862/no-offense-deodorant-oakmoss-sandalwood">No Offense Deodorant</a> up in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mummumscrafts?ref=si_shop">my shop</a>... 5 available in Oakmoss Sandalwood :) Enjoy!Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-19299854860778055102011-09-11T08:22:00.000-07:002011-09-11T08:47:38.958-07:00Back in Action!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsFUvhbpEmyhkrqeVJU4esGLYNM060qLKkptamCMfCeBVdN91-5cMxB9HMYtOspMEM2nlsUGqKl1YH6bHM4BDv_mZdrcWr-vmqpRHBnYwlQ-_k2-FC8aPg9wFWFcZG4qYpULZIsHj6k3f0/s1600/IMG_0115+%25282%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsFUvhbpEmyhkrqeVJU4esGLYNM060qLKkptamCMfCeBVdN91-5cMxB9HMYtOspMEM2nlsUGqKl1YH6bHM4BDv_mZdrcWr-vmqpRHBnYwlQ-_k2-FC8aPg9wFWFcZG4qYpULZIsHj6k3f0/s400/IMG_0115+%25282%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651127603402998226" border="0" /></a><br />Yesterday I reopened <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mummumscrafts?ref=si_shop">my Etsy shop</a>, and it feels SO good to be back in action! Yes, my kids and new baby keep me extremely busy, but my little side business provides me with some "me" time to express my creativity.<br /><br />Upon returning I had to reorder some supplies, and sadly discovered that many of the ingredients in my No Offense Deodorant were much more expensive then when I closed. I am currently reformulating and trying to get the price more reasonable, because if I kept making the old formula I would have to more than double my old price. Ouch!! Don't worry though, I will make sure it works as good or better than the old one and I will try to keep the price as low as I can. :)<br /><br />I also have been dreaming up a new skin care line and will introduce it soon!! I am so excited to have a full skin care line for my customers! This was something I didn't really have time to work on while I was open before, so I used some of my down time to work on it. I will have a set for normal/oily/troubled skin and a set for normal/dry/mature skin as well as a few things for any skin type. Sounds complicated, but really I will be streamlining and keeping things simple for you, and for me!<br /><br />Other new things in the shop are that I am no longer doing custom orders, what you see is what you get! In order to keep up with my 3 children I will only be making products on Saturdays and listing only what I have available. This will allow me to ship faster than ever though, so you will get your goodies ASAP! I will most likely be able to ship on the next business day from when I receive an order :D I will also only be making small batches of everything so that you are insured fresh products.<br /><br />I am going to eliminate many of my Mineral Eye and 3-in-1 colors also, but will keep the best ones. Let me know if there is a color you gotta have and I will try to include it in the line! I'll also be revamping my Lip Tints, but am offering my all original colors for now. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mummumscrafts?ref=si_shop">Get them while you can!</a><br /><br />You may be wondering what the baby picture has to do with any of this...nothing actually ;) I just think she's adorable and had to share!<br /><br />Blessings and I look forward to serving you again! ~LucyLucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-83543520804488426102011-02-10T16:43:00.000-08:002011-02-10T16:54:20.387-08:00Cloth Diaper Sewing :)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwFQirspxHbR_2ZeVyOgzoQBkTZ0zaz3EVRWK4IPgjniW1ZSE0rZEPe-3BQpTVtSo2Uv1zehERULHnTZdd-kwFw0f-3p7nQggJqcmsYWoOddy4uEfzLlXjCldSrIEvLbZLf0mfaFO_Z52U/s1600/IMG_8009.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwFQirspxHbR_2ZeVyOgzoQBkTZ0zaz3EVRWK4IPgjniW1ZSE0rZEPe-3BQpTVtSo2Uv1zehERULHnTZdd-kwFw0f-3p7nQggJqcmsYWoOddy4uEfzLlXjCldSrIEvLbZLf0mfaFO_Z52U/s400/IMG_8009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572227818179979138" border="0" /></a><br />Just wanted to let you all know that baby girl is growing well and I am taking it easy as I am supposed to. I am spending some time sewing cloth diapers, wipes, wet bags and other goodies for cloth diapering her. I'm using a pattern from Ubber Domestic on Etsy, and love it! It's pretty much a one-size-fits-all pattern that can be adapted to any type of diaper you could want! I am doing fitteds with snap in soakers, wool covers, PUL covers, and a few pocket diapers too :) Pictured here are a few fitteds!Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-51715916907983513692010-12-15T07:02:00.000-08:002010-12-15T07:06:29.175-08:002 More Days!I'll be closing my shop up on Friday, only two more days!

We were planning to go on a trip to see family, but we all got really sick instead :( Because of this, I am changing the day that I will start my maternity leave. Instead of being open through December I will be closing on December 17th! If you need anything from my shop stock up, and your last day to order will be December 16th!!<br /><br />Also, to celebrate the Holidays I will be offering free shipping on all orders within the US, starting TODAY and continuing until the day I close! This is a great chance to stock up! Remember, I am not sure when I will reopen, so get what you need now. I have lots of everything, if you need anything special just convo me :)<br /><br />If you need deodorant you can either order one that I have listed, or convo me for a custom order (I don't have many scents listed but they are ALL still available). You can also get as many as you like in whatever scent you want! Just ask :)<br /><br />If you would like a perfume oil I can make them in ANY scent also! I have not listed them because I have been feeling so rotten, but they are available and make great stocking stuffers! These are $8 each, and shipping is free in the US! If you would like one, just convo me. Ingredients are jojoba oil and either fragrance oil or essential oil. Very pure and wonderful perfumes, I have one in my purse all the time now in my Rice Flower and Shea scent. LOVE it!!<br /><br />I am super fast about setting up custom listings ;) So don't be shy!<br /><br />LucyLucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-21254976305796361942010-11-12T08:26:00.000-08:002010-11-12T09:10:43.201-08:00Taking it easy!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUK98oeI2syMF94lhF9qIFrGPuudMnJcynOWpeMgGPvhJ_2hw4dFo3GXbu-Z5LPyQkIOUQ_42qP2BqrAJmPQvmPMGJNia7HSiDlr99drltUcHemxXGeK2qLUb1lO1cCh81P705hNUr1iLU/s1600/gummybear+10-27-10.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUK98oeI2syMF94lhF9qIFrGPuudMnJcynOWpeMgGPvhJ_2hw4dFo3GXbu-Z5LPyQkIOUQ_42qP2BqrAJmPQvmPMGJNia7HSiDlr99drltUcHemxXGeK2qLUb1lO1cCh81P705hNUr1iLU/s400/gummybear+10-27-10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538701728674635874" border="0" /></a><br />As I mentioned in my last post, I am pregnant and due in May! Pictured above is my little Gummy Bear a few weeks ago :) While I love running my little Etsy shop and serving my awesome customers, I have been feeling stretched a bit too thin since the start of this pregnancy. Pregnancy is not an easy time for any women, but I have a particularly rough time with it. In the past I have had surgery while pregnant and have spent a lot of time on bed rest. Of course my kids are SO worth it, and I am happy to have the opportunity to have another one! So, while I am hoping and praying for the best this time around, I am also trying to take it easy and pace myself. My energy has been quite low.,<br /><br />So, I have made the decision to take a maternity leave! I will be closing my shop at the end of December and I am not sure when or if I will reopen. I really just need to focus on being a mom and spending my energy on my kids, because there is not a whole lot of energy to go around these days. I will also be putting my shop on vacation next week, because I will be visiting family and not getting on the computer at all!<br /><br />Shop will be closed from Nov. 16-29, then closed again at the end of December indefinitely. This means it's time to stock up!! I have lots of deodorants in stock (about 50 tubes ready to be filled) so if you are hooked on No Offense Deodorant stock up now! I don't have a whole lot of listings posted, but I do have these available in ANY of my scents, just ask. I also have plenty of everything else in my shop! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mummumscrafts">Get it while you can and stock up! </a>Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-66121160866169665992010-10-23T09:57:00.000-07:002010-10-23T10:04:17.200-07:00New TubesJust an update on what's going on over here! I will be transitioning to a new type of tube for my deodorants. These are a better design and the lid comes on and off easier, so I think you will like them a lot. This change will be coming into affect as soon as I run out of the old tubes! Look for the new design in my shop next week!<br /><br />Also, the perfume oils were not forgotten! I have just been very busy and dealing with morning sickness, so adding new products hasn't been my top priority! Yes, I am due in May to have my third child! We are so excited!Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-89326321266550563312010-07-30T18:13:00.000-07:002010-07-30T18:20:41.502-07:00Perfume :)I've been working on something new, perfume oil! I am putting together some really wonderful perfume oils in some little roller-ball bottles and I am loving it!! I have a few signature scents I am working on that will be 100% natural perfume oils, as well as some really classy phthalate free scents. These will be available in any of my scents, as well as some of my new signature scents that are only available in these perfumes. Look for some classics like Patchouli too :) I'm really excited about these and will be introducing them in my shop in the next few weeks! I've also made up a few more of my Hair and Body Sprays in some amazing men's scents! I'll be listing these soon too!Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-8561098710580272872010-07-21T12:09:00.000-07:002010-07-21T12:11:53.196-07:00SALE!!Free shipping on all US orders until Sunday July 25th!!

Business as far as my shop goes has been slllloooooowwww, but life has kept me full tilt! Because of this I have discontinued several of my more time consuming products, and plan to discontinue a few more in the next few months. In the beginning of this year I set out to stream line my shop, and that is still my goal! Products that I have discontinued are mascara, eye primer and stretch mark cream. I am also no longer going to make most of my soaps once they sell out!<br /><br />I will be adding some new things to my shop though. Namely some amazing glycerin soaps, a paraben free lotion and some more facial care products. BUT, I am taking my time launching these because I am really just so busy over here. I will continue to sell my deodorants and makeup also, but I may drop a few colors.<br /><br />Anyway, that's just an update! I hope you all are enjoying your Spring/Summer!!Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417941789649052885.post-12885425452592373612010-05-12T11:26:00.001-07:002010-05-12T11:45:24.378-07:00Ooo La La!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHNqukhpX6GqZf5rmqrpb8wxZ7lWEoWK2cN90oSuANUfM8fqQRFzk2F_dJs-nc_oTjJzGccLO0Ewh9uostgF4vQOwaWuPDdrlFKhkkUAsJBuP8jsjcQsfeM_E0lhgCYagnWqaXaUpfMVoS/s1600/IMG_2603.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHNqukhpX6GqZf5rmqrpb8wxZ7lWEoWK2cN90oSuANUfM8fqQRFzk2F_dJs-nc_oTjJzGccLO0Ewh9uostgF4vQOwaWuPDdrlFKhkkUAsJBuP8jsjcQsfeM_E0lhgCYagnWqaXaUpfMVoS/s400/IMG_2603.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470451948698851842" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/46701381/perfect-pearl-primer-simply-amazing">Perfect Pearl Primer</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I've been wanting to make a primer for a while, since many have requested one! Although you can use my<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/45062938/mineral-glow-veil-full-size-choose-your"> Mineral Glow Veil</a> as a primer as well, some with very dry sensitive skin may find it too drying. This new primer is the perfect solution! It is a luxurious blend of Silk and Pearls, which both aid in rejuvenating your skin, controlling shine and minimizing imperfections. I now use this product under my foundation during the day and also at night before bed as a skin care treatment. My skin has never been softer!!!<br /><br />In addition to this amazing new primer, I also created a new foundation formula! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/46702726/new-moisture-max-mineral-foundation">Moisture Max Foundation</a> is especially tailored to those with dry sensitive skin. It does not contain any of the ingredients that some may find too drying, like silica or kaolin clay. Instead it has a luscious creamy feel to it and gives a gorgeous youthful appearance to dry skin! I have dry skin myself and really love this foundation. And, the best part is, I was able to make all the same shades as the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/46591097/full-size-mineral-makeup-foundation">Mineral Silk Foundation</a>!! So if you need a more moisturizing foundation it will be easy to transition to this new formula!<br /><br />I am really excited to offer you these new products! I hope you love them as much as I do ;) ~Lucy<br /><br /><br /></div></div>Lucy79http://www.blogger.com/profile/04552628129231976874noreply@blogger.com4
