I just love fairytales one of my favorite being Sleeping Beauty. I think it was the first fairytale I had ever read and it has stuck with me all these years! Then came The Little Mermaid, my second favorite and besides who could resist that cute crustacean Sebastian? Of course lets not forget about Cinderella!
What's your favorite fairytale or folklore?

There's something about them that just catches your imagination! Imagine mice that become coachmen, a pumpkin that turns into a carriage, and a prince that can kiss you awake! How enchanting! So we put together two collections, Fairytales & Folklore and The Glass Slipper that are chalk full of fabulous products and fantabulous named scents!

We've got a few new goodies that I think you'll absolutely adore! Our new shampoo and conditioner which is so amazing! Your hair will feel like you've been to an expensive salon I'm telling you; light, silky, and smelling so sweet!

Yep, that's right I had to have a collection with sinfully delicious goodies that even a pirate would secretly envy. Ever since I saw the movie "Captain Blood" With Erroll Flynn I've had a fascination with swashbuckling! Guess what? It's also Talk Like a Pirate Day! Isn't that just the perfect day to introduce our Pirate Collection or what? lol....



It has the same products along the same lines with a few unique goodies like our Double Dutch Girl Cocoa Clay Masque, Blackbeards Revenge Black Cocoa Clay Masque, Mermaids Lore Dead Sea Clay & Seaweed Masque, and Poppy the Pirate Queen Pumpkin Clay Masque! Mmmm, such delightful goodies!!

You could create your own foot/hand treatment with a Moisturizing Syrup Soak, Sugar Scrub, massage bar or foot/hand creme! Even mix and match scents.

Some MB love and a holiday-tini!

Hiya Gals and Guys! How have you been? Has it been a good week for you? I hope so! It's been a buuuuuusy week for us. New wholesale accounts, tons of orders to fill and sweet sniff-fulls of new scents to drool over. LOL...

Okay, so first off for some MB love. We've been featured on this fabulous blog called Nonpareil..sprinkles of Indie Love. It's a really colorful & beautifully designed blog. I'm so honored to have Margarita Bloom on it. Go check it out and leave some love...pretty please with sprinkles on top? lol...


http://nonpareilblog.com/2009/08/margarita-bloom/



Now, for the holiday-tini! Don't get too excited it's more of a decadent dessert and drink in two...no alcohol here. :D You know I LOVE Halloween and it's coming up pretty soon!!! So the thing that popped into my head was pumpkin pie...oh, yes creamy, yummy oh so good for my tummy pumpkin pie. So I had to make one.

A day later, up late at night, I was drinking some of the most delish chocolate milk ever!, no really it was good! (I had like three glasses.) Then I spied the whipped cream in the can. Heehee....yes, I know what you're thinking and I did it. I put lots of whipped cream on top. It was so good. And here it comes, you know what's coming next don't you.....ah huh...I spied the pumpkin pie.

Margarita Bloom's Special Pumpkin Chocolate Cream "Holiday-tini" recipe although I think you can already guess what to do. lol..

Get some wide rimmed glasses like margarita glasses of course!
Pour in some chilled chocolate milk.
Froth on the whipped creme in the can
And add some chilled pumpkin pie chunks on top.
There ya go!!!

They look so yummy & it's an easy peezy dessert you could have for a party. You could even add some sprinkled cinnamon on top or a sprig of mint or chocolate shavings!

You'll definitely be seeing lots of fabulous pumpkin scented goodies when we put up our Halloween Collection very soon! We have a sweet pumpkin scent that is wonderful!! sweet sniff-fulls of apple, cranberry, cinnamon, pumpkin and clove... sweet cream, molasses, sniffs of fallen leaves and fall acorns! Oooooh, maybe even a pumpkin facial masque! Oooh, la, la! Do you have a particular scent/product you would like to see in our Halloween Collection? Let us know!

Kisses!

Juicy Tidbits and Facts, Oh MY! :)

Hey all! I know...I know...I haven't been around for awhile but I have been busy with tons of orders not to mention, yes...I am addicted to Twitter! There I said it....so what? Heehee, I can't seem to get away from it so if you don't ever see a post here go check out our facebook page or twitter page for updates on what we're currently cooking up. :)

I thought I would dedicate this post to MB and some juicy tidbits & facts that you may not know about Margarita Bloom.

**Do you know that Margarita Bloom has NEVER nor will ever test on animals? Yep, that's right we love our cute little furry fuzzy best friends. They deserve to be cuddled with. :) We heart animals.


**Did you know that we love to recycle our shipping boxes? It's good for the environment and saves from adding more waste to Mother Earth. Also, a lot of our boxes/packaging are either made from recyclable materials like our soap boxes or are recyclable themselves.

**Plus, who says you have to throw away your packaging when you're done with it? Why our packaging is like art if you ask me...they're so pretty you just want to frame them and hang them up on the wall!! or if you're an interior designer you could use them to stage your bathroom. Nothing says luxury if you ask me like our Belgian Chocolate Soap Bar Box. So pretty you just might have clients asking where can they get that soap? (Tell them at Margarita Bloom!!)

You can even re-gift some of our packaging. Like our Lemon Drop Cookie Soap Box can be used as packaging to hold a gift to a friend (Sans the soaps cookies of course! Those are for you!!! lol...it'll be our little secret). If you're a crafter which I bet many of you are you can use it to hold bits of craftiness like small silk flowers, buttons, tags, small letters to use in your scrap booking. The ideas are limitless. Use your imagination. :)

**Oooh, like the Muse pointed out below in her fabulous comment you can also use our packaging as ornaments for your Christmas Tree! How cute would that be? An MB Christmas Tree for your house or even one in your bathroom...after all you know we LOVE themes!!! A Christmas Tree in your *loo* with MB goodies adorning it would be fabulous!! :)

We like to follow the three R's.....Reuse, Recycle, Reduce.


**You may have noticed awhile ago we updated our website, well we've also been giving our goodies an overhaul as well! Yep, that's right we're adding more natural goodness & organic ingredient goodness to our products every day. Did you also know that our goodies are paraben free? We often get asked that in emails so we felt everyone should know. :) We're even updating our jars and containers. There's so many to choose from! lol...

**We even custom scent our goodies. We feel if one of our customers/clients loves a certain fragrance they should be able to get it in any many products as possible. :)

Those are just a few juicy tidbits that you might not have known about MB, but now you do!!
