Smells of the Season

This time of year provides great inspiration for us. Everywhere you turn people are cooking and baking. These amazing aromas give us such great ideas for our products. We are such foodies over here that we had to create a new line of candles that feature our favorite sweet treats. Please take a look at our new Fancy Food Icon Candles that come in eight great fragrances and designs to tempt the sweet tooth in all of us. These yummy treats are available in Blueberry Muffin, Cherry Pie, Coffee, Cupcake, Ice Cream Cone, Lollipop, Milk and Red Velvet Cake. Enjoy these sweet temptations and remember they are guilt free and calorie free!

Have a good week and Happy Holidays,

Faith

Giving back

Every year at holiday time, we participate in an event that is very important to all of us at Primal Elements. Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times Holiday Party is an all day carnival for kids and their families that have serious and challenging health issues. Tomorrow is our annual event. We bring our soapmaking experience to this event and have a truly inspiring day making soap and sharing some fun with these kids and their families. It is really amazing that something so simple as a bar of soap can bring such big smiles, not just to the faces of the kids but to ours as well. I hope in this season of caring you are able to bring some joy to others as well. Have a good week.

Peace,

Faith

Basket Case

In just one week from today it will be Black Friday, believed to be the busiest shopping day of the year. We have decided to try something new at Primal Elements and create Gift Baskets this season. I like to think I am a championship shopper so I would never discourage a shopping trip, but if you get tired or need a break why not shop from the couch? Take a look at our Gift Baskets and see what fun new gifts you can find.

Have a Good Weekend,

Faith

The Fireplace

My husband just turned the fireplace on for the first time this season. (Okay, we live in Southern California so we turn on our fireplaces; we don’t light real logs). I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of the flames. I forgot how hypnotic the colors are as they dance around the logs. Our Flames soap and Flames Icon Candle captures this feeling, so please take a look at our Flames soap and candle, the colors are rich and bright and the fragrance is warm and woodsy like a grandfathers pipe. It has deep notes of vanilla and cherry wrapped in tobacco leaf. This soap and candle will warm the spirit and put you in the mood for the cooler days coming up.

Have a good week,

Faith

Dave's Dragon Dust

I wanted to share with you that I am a chile pepper farmer. I grow about 30+ varieties of Habanero and the hottest chile in the world, Bhut Jolokia ( ghost Pepper ) I make a product called Dave's Dragon Dust, which is made up of all the hottest chiles in the world. I cut and process these by hand, getting the oils from the chiles on my hands. after one session of processing, my hands burn!! So I started washing them frequently with "Ariel" that we have always had at the sink and it cuts through the chile oils and cleans the capsaicin (alkyloid that makes chiles hot) better than anything I've tried. If you have any input as to what is in your soap that contributes to this I'd love to know. I have also been passing this info on to fellow chileheads/farmers that have the same issues processing chiles. I have tried wearing gloves but just can't do it. Anyway, Thanks for your time and GREAT product!!

Sincerely,

Dave
