The Secret’s Out

by Megan on June 2, 2009

I was going to wait until I posted my first scrub/body butter on Etsy, but I can’t wait any longer. I know some of you on Twitter have been waiting for me to announce my Etsy shop name, and since I received the proofs for my sticker labels, I feel like I have to tell you.

First off, I must give a HUGE thank you to my co-worker, Tiffany, for coming up with the name. I was in a creative funk, and she shot me an email with a few name ideas, and I fell in love with this particular one. (She’ll definitely be getting a few gift scrubs!)

Without further ado, I give you THE SHOP NAME:

pinchofsugar

(Obviously, I love pinks, blues, and browns.) Those are the proofs for the sticker labels that will be on the tops of the jars of the scrubs. The design is by Jessica Mundt of Starr Design, and she’ll be shipping them out soon.

I began receiving supplies yesterday, and I’m so excited. I’m starting off with a handful of fragrances (vanilla, avocado mint, oatmeal milk & honey, and tea rose), but I plan to purchase more fragrance oils soon, so I’ll need suggestions from you! (There will, of course, be an option for unscented items as well for those with more sensitive skin.) The majority of my products will be almost all organic, too! (I’m buying from a place that has certified organic oils.) That’s a huge plus to me … I’m tired of using products with ingredients that I can’t even pronounce! I want to know what I’m putting on my skin, and I’m sure you do, too.

“a pinch of sugar” won’t be official for a few weeks, but I wanted to give my blog readers a sneak peek. What do you think of the name? (Also, you can follow a pinch of sugar on Twitter – @pinchofsugar)

Well, I love it.. of course I am a little biased about it haha. Seriously though, I think it’s awesome! I know you are going to do so well and everything is just going to be so fun for you! You get to start your very own little business when you move into your very own little house with your husband! :) Such an exciting time in your life!

That’s such a wonderful name! I’m looking forward to your shop. I have a bunch of friends who love those scents and have very sensitive skin. Best of luck to you! I can’t seem to get mine off the ground.
