GOATS MILK SOAP ASSISTS ECZEMA SUFFERERS

For those of you who did not see the report on Friday night on Channel 9's A Current Affair they viewed a story on using Goats Milk Soaps to assist with eczema. The following is an extract from the interview

** "Now at very same time Leanne's little boy Liam was suffering terribly with eczema and despite trying dozens of medications and natural therapies nothing worked. Then one day she read on the internet that goats milk helped relieve skin conditions such as eczema. Leanne had plenty of goats milk.

So she set about to make goats milk soap on the kitchen stove, and the first bars were just awful. But in time she perfected it and low and behold it cleared up Liam's eczema in a week. The goat did what the doctor's couldn't. She made more soaps and went to the local craft show one weekend to sell them.

She sold out in an hour. Soon she was making soap in the kitchen and the garage and she couldn't keep up with demand. Later she moved into a factory and started employing workers.

Leanne makes no claims about the soap but the reaction from sufferers of skin conditions is proof enough that something in the pure goats milk soap is working".***

First Online Order


Wow the thrill of receiving your first online order no matter how large or small is just an amazing feeling. The care that you take to ensure the product is perfect and packaged correctly and then sent out immediately to ensure customer satisfaction actually gave me a lot to think about. Will I still feel this way in 12 months time, will I still take such incredible care ensuring customer satisfaction and the small thank you note to follow up with. I decided then and there that YES I would always treat my customers exactly how I would like to be treated. When I purchase over the internet I would like to think that my order is special and that my requirements are met promptly and efficiently. I know the dissapointment that I feel if something is not right when it is delivered to my door so I made an executive decision right on the spot that I will always provide that extra personal touch to all my customers. No matter how large or small the order maybe.

ITS OFFICIAL WE ARE ONLINE


Yes over the weekend of 23rd May I finally went live with my new site. Yes I know it is long overdue however though I certainly did not realise the amount of time and energy plus Proof Reading that was required. I have sourced several new products to sell on my site and will continue to grow and expand the range. That was of course my biggest hurdle as well being a very small home based business not having the cash resources to purchase products in quantity. Luckily for me I have a spare bedroom that has now turned into "The Warehouse". so there are lots of new challenges that lay ahead but they are exciting!

From now on I will be able to update my posts more often as I no longer need to be sitting at my computer uploading products and reading disclaimer paragraphs!! So come on take a look you never know what you might find, and don't forget to mark the site as a favourite, cos you will always find new products being added.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Sugar Spice Nice would like to wish all the mothers out there a happy mothers day. I was extremely lucky this morning to have a very quite start to the day with a cup of coffee and just day dream at my garden and be so glad for what I have in life. Later on my two daughters who are grown up now, cooked me a beautiful breakfast and we sat together and talked about what everyone was doing today.This is the only way I know how to tell the world how much I love them from the bottom of my heart and just how blessed I am to have two such beautiful, thoughtful and sensitive girls. Phil would be so proud of how his daughters are growing up.

Oh and by the way I got those new slippers that I hinted for !!!

SUGAR SPICE NICE WEB SITE DEVELOPMENT

Wow after a lot of research, development,late nights and procrastination I am happy to announce the launch of my new web site. I have a new found respect for those web developers who not only have to develop the look and feel of a site but listen and take on board the business owners who want "their" site to be special and "can we just make this change" and "does that have a lighter colour shade" and so on and so on. I am very lucky that I found a wonderful guy named Col Pearson with an incredible supply of patience who in his wisdom allowed me to voice all the visual bits and pieces that I thought I should have and then say "well it would look better like this" and I would think "yeah that does look better". So my advice for small business owners with a limited budget really take the time to ask others about who created their site and find their "wonderful" Col Pearson web developer because i can assure you it makes the journey so much more enjoyable and rewarding at the end of the day.

OFFICIAL LAUNCH MONDAY 12th MAY
