Katie Jones ~ Sentsy

A while back I visited my best friend's home and it smelled fantastic. Honestly...she has a cat box and all. But, even my son was impressed and loved how delicious her home smelled. After some prodding and some investigation, I discovered the source was her several Scentsy lamps in her home! I love these! Scentsy has many terrific products, such as fragrant sprays and car candles. But the idea of a wickless candle sold me. And honestly, there weren't many candles that I loved. I rarely could even smell them when had them burning. I have them in my home too. I also have a new friend! Katie Jones who sells the Scentsy products. Katie is from Seattle and we chit chat from time to time. She's a trustworthy hard- working mom, with a great sense of scents and style! I can't say enough about my new little smell good treat. There are numerous crazy delicious scents it really is difficult to choose which ones to order! One of my faves was lavender vanilla, which seems to have now been replaced with a new version. I used Sizzling Coconut throughout much of the winter. I've notice the scent lasts a VERY long time. With the Sizzling Coconut, there was a rich cinnamon scent melded along with the coconut and as the scent was used the coconut became more prominent. Not only are there a bundle of different scents, they always have great deals going on and the warmers (heated with a 25 watt bulb) are very decorative and come in dozens of colors, textures and styles. You won't have any trouble finding one to go in your home or office. You may however, have trouble deciding on which one to order! In my home, we all love it. The lamp warms up so quickly that before I know it my home smells yummy. And usually it's just minutes after I plug it in when I begin to smell it! All without an open flame!

Mineral Makeup Products

Crystal Astolfo of domalyminerals agreed to answer some questions about her mineral makeup products.

What products do you carry in your shop?

My products as of right now include mineral foundations, setting powders, bronzers, blushes and eye shadows. I am currently working on a mineral lip gloss to soon be added.

Can you share a favorite marketing idea?

Hmm, I would have to say that my favorite marketing is my friends and family. They are all so gossipy that I can’t make or do anything without every relative and neighbor knowing, this is how I first got started with my business.

How about a favorite advertising venture?

Not sure if this counts as an advertising venture, but my dad's company currently deals with quite a few of the hotels in our area. Some of the hotels have found out of my business (that’s where my gossipy family comes in), so I am in the process of creating an amenity line of bath and body products for the guest rooms. It is very exciting and by far my favorite so far.

Have you always been a "maker?" (someone who creates)

Before making cosmetics I had always baked desserts. I would watch the cooking shows on television and try to recreate all of those fancy desserts. Everyone once in a while I still cook, but mostly for family and parties.

What prompted you to start making your products?

I’ve bought and tried just about every cosmetic known and my skin disliked everyone of them. I had seen all of those commercials for mineral cosmetics and thought maybe I could make my own. So I started researching online and began mixing my own products. I gave samples to friends and family and they fell in love with my products and convinced me to start selling them.

What other activities do you enjoy?

Besides making cosmetics, I make bath and body products: lotions, sugar scrubs, body butters, soaps and more. Creating my own products helps relieves stress and gives me a sense of relaxation.

Were you parents creative?

Not so much, my mom was sort of creative, but more in the fact that she helped with art projects and cooked with me.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about your products?

I love making my products and I take the time to make sure that my products are ones that everyone will love, I won’t sell a product that I myself wouldn’t use on an everyday basis.
How did you come up with your package designs or labels?The name for my products is for my two children. Dom if for my son Dominic and Aly is for my daughter Alyssa. As for my packaging style, I like simple designs so I wanted clear and black for my containers and a friend of mine drew the design for my labels.

Can you tell me, how you store your projects and supplies?

I store all of my finished products in a cabinet inside my home, all on shelves and in those storage drawers. All of my supplies are stored in my workspace in my garage, in cabinets and on shelves.
Do you work outside the home?

My two children are 3 and 4, I haven’t worked outside of the home since before they were born.

Painted toes or natural?

Definitely painted, my toes are always bright pink.

Crystal, thank you very much for sharing some about your mineral products. I look forward to updates and seeing more new items in your shop. Since we last spoke, Crystal has added so many new items such as eye shadows, foundations and setting powders. Please visit her shop and say hello with an Etsy convo! (make sure to join Etsy.com, it's a snap and you won't regret it!)

two 5 x 7 thank you cards with quirky plaid envelopes
four 3" circle gift tags
six 1" round plaid stickers
six 1.5" tropical flower stickers

Gosh I'd love to have one for Mother's day! LOL...I know couldn't I just whip up one of these grand sets for myself? It doesn't seem to be that easy. For customers, no problem. But ask any carpenter's wife how many projects she has scheduled and rescheduled for her man. Does the phone man's wife have a need for a new jack? (uh, yah I do...right next to my computer so that I can shop for shoes with my beef!!)So, it goes I hardly ever use my own stationery--But, I would love it!! I usually only allow myself a card, or a sheet of the paper...sigh. I want this though!
