Happy Wednesday morning to you, blog readers! We're happy to announce that Bathgasm is once again open for business. Our vacation was great, and it gave us just the break we needed to get even more good stuff in stock. For your bathing pleasure, we now have the following new scents on our in-stock scent list:
We've tested these guys and they all smell fabulous, so we hope you'll try them soon for yourself! :)
Speaking of trying new scents, it's the perfect time because we've just released a new coupon! Simply mention the code WE'RE BACK anywhere during your checkout process in our Etsy store and you'll receive 10% OFF your order of $25 (before shipping costs), and 15% OFF your order of $35 or more. This coupon expires next Wednesday, February 24th, so start thinking of what you'd like to order now!
Until next time, dear readers - have a wonderful week, and thanks again for all your support! :)
You know, we said we'd do better about blogging, didn't we? :) We promise, it isn't for lack of trying! Because of your support for our Valentines Day bath fizzies, Bathgasm has had its best sales season EVER this February. We just had to tell you all a big THANK YOU to everyone who bought or spread the word about our fizzies. So here it is:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Ahem. :) Now that we're done shouting from the rooftops, we thought we'd share some of the things that made this month great for us! For starters, Bathgasm was featured in The Oklahoman newspaper in their Valentines Day Gift Guide! This was super exciting for us, as we even got a photo of our Conversation Heart bath fizzies in the paper:
We're famous! Happy dance!
On top of the awesomeness of being featured in The Oklahoman, our Conversation Heart bath fizzies were also featured in a video review by Youtube beauty Guru Aubrey London! She really enjoyed our fizzies, which gave us lots of warm fuzzies inside. Here's an embedded version of the review if you'd like to watch!
Finally, we are over the moon that The Makeup Bar in Oklahoma City has been carrying our Valentines Day items as well! The Makeup Bar is a full service spa and retail store for ALL your beauty needs. They carry other lines we just LOVE such as Mario Badescu, NARS, and Chantecaille. We are so happy to be featured alongside such amazing and high quality products! :)
That's about it for this time around, but we did want to let everyone know that we're taking a short vacation from now through next Wednesday. We will reopen our Etsy store on Thursday, February 18th. Not only will this give us time to restock - you've been so good to us that we're OUT of everything! lol - but we'll also be getting some much needed R&R after this incredibly busy season. We hope that you have a fabulous Valentine's Day and that you can get some rest in, too! :)
Apologies are in order, dear readers, as we got so busy during the Christmas holidays that we just couldn't keep up with the blog! :( So sorry about that - we'll do better now that it's the new year!
So much has happened since we last blogged! Bathgasm went to the Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar in Oklahoma City, which was a ton of fun. Also, The Makeup Bar in Oklahoma City has started carrying our bath bomb samples! If you are local to OKC and love our stuff, stop by to pick some up and tell 'em you love us! :)
In other awesome news, we're offering some AMAZING sets for Valentines Day! Check them out:
Set of 3 Valentines bath fizzies with adorable sugar heart embeds
Set of 5 Large Conversation Heart Bath Fizzies in different scents
Set of 5 Mini Conversation Heart Fizzies in different scents
We have lots of other great Valentines listings to enjoy on our main Etsy site, so stop by and check them out! :) Psst - we'll be doing giveaways soon as well, so stay tuned!
Hello again, everyone! :) Can you believe that it's already December? I definitely can't! Where has 2009 gone? It has certainly been a busy year, but I hope that it's been a good one for you and yours!
In Bathgasm-related news, I first want to mention that if you're planning on placing a holiday order, please remember to place your large orders (1 dozen bath bombs or more) by December 10th to get them in time for Christmas! After the 10th, the post office will be crazy busy, and shipping times will be significantly delayed. So head over to Bathgasm now and place your order so you can get it in time for the holidays! :)

You can get a sneak preview below, but be sure to click the picture below to get a good look at the real thing. Thanks so much, LexiandGem - the collection is fabulous! :)
Tomorrow and Friday, we will begin posting our new listings for our Christmas collection! :) Check back soon for gifts that definitely WON'T be re-gifted!
Happy Monday, all! Today I'll be showing you another area in my studio. This area is my storage and drying rack space. Take a peek inside! :)
This converted closet space serves as my storage area and drying rack. All my fizzy materials are safely stored in the bins below the drying racks, and my shipping materials and dry erase markers are stored on the bottom shelf.
Here are my drying racks! You can see a legion of full size bath bombs as well as samples. These drying racks are awesome because they are in a climate controlled and humidity free environment, plus they keep the bath bombs safe from potential contaminants as they dry. I simply close the closet door when I am not making bath bombs and I never have to worry about anything disturbing them while I am away.
Here's a closeup of an army of samples on my drying rack. I send out a ton of these all the time, so the second shelf is pretty much relegated to samples only these days!
Finally, here's a picture of the dry erase board where I keep my list of bath bombs to be made. It's right there on the closet door so I can always keep track of my order statuses easily. This closet setup really is a lifesaver! :)
Thanks for taking another trip inside my studio! I hope that you have found this inside look to be interesting and informative. Have a great week! :)
Happy Sunday, all! :) Just taking a quick moment to let you all know that Bathgasm is currently the featured artist on the fabulous Etsy Studios Blog! Head on over there and check it out! :)
Hey, everyone! I was thinking earlier... I've never posted pictures of me or my studio! So today, I've decided to remedy that. Now you can know the wacky woman behind Bathgasm!
This is me, holding up some of my handmade fizzy scrubs! :) I love what I do!
If you were to see me in my studio (which is a huge, spa-like bathroom), this is what I'd typically look like. Bent over my stand mixer with gloves on, mixing lots of good-smelling goodies.
Viola! Bath bombs! These guys are dry already... Bath bombs take about 3 or 4 days to cure depending on their size.
Finally, it's the testing tub! I am my own biggest product tester, and this is where I test. It's a tough job, right? ;)
Thanks for taking a trip inside my studio! :) Check back soon for our new holiday listings, as well as for more sale and giveaway news!
Hey everyone! :) Just a quick note to let you know that our You Pick Five Pack of luxurious bath bombs has made it onto CRAFTGAWKER! Check it out at www.craftgawker.com!
BOO! Did I scare you? :) Probably not. Regardless, it's HALLOWEEN! Hooray! Happy Halloween to you and yours, and stay safe while trick or treating with the little ones!
To celebrate Halloween, we're having a SALE! Get our adorable Candy Corn bath bombs for only $2.75 each (regular price is $3.25)! We've gotten loads of compliments on these bombs in particular... Many of our customers give them as gifts to friends! Hurry, this great sale won't last long! EDIT: Hey, our candy corn bath bombs have been featured on TheCreativeJar's Blog today! Check it out!
These lovely bath bombs look and smell like real candy corn!
Have a wonderful and safe weekend, everyone! And if you get a chance, leave us a comment to tell us about your costume! :)
