Margarita Bloom Bath & Body - Feel like a Goddess

Posted on March 21, 2008, 8:03 pm by Xarian

Margarita Bloom's fabulous collections of bath & body
presents your body and mind with a sensational, refreshing and
nurturing treat. With exotic and tasty scented sugar scrubs,
nourishing lip softening exfoliaters, skin smoothening silky
bath soaks, and fruity skin glowing body butters, you'll be spoilt
for choice! People cannot seem to get enough of Margarita
Bloom products and are raving about how amazingly pampered
they make you feel. I too, despite being a man, have joined
the Margarita Bloom fan club. They have fantastic products
men can use, such as the relaxing caribbean Ocean scented Sea
Salt for softer skin, and the Bentonite spa soap, for a gentle
exfoliating scrub. Margarita Bloom spoils you with a variety of
endless possibilities for looking and feeling beautiful.

I could not resist speaking with the beautiful Regina,
the lady behind Margarita Bloom's success, about
her collections, products and inspirations.

1. What defines Margarita Bloom?

What defines Margarita Bloom? Well, I created Margarita Bloom
to be based on the modern girl....ergo the name Margarita Bloom.
In today's modern world, women want to have a little of everything
in their life. They want to be the best mom in the world, a
wonderful wife or girlfriend, a super boss, and yet still be
as glamourous as a movie star. In other words, we want it all!

I decided to create several collections that focused on certain
specific areas. For instance, we have our Bakery collection
because what woman doesn't love sweet treats? Our You Go Girl collection is all about having fun with cocktail type scents;
laying back and relaxing with one of our Appletini Body Glow Scrubs.
Our Spa Collection is about fresh scents...spa type products meant
to pamper you and create a Spa day just for you.


Then, we have our Hollywood Glam collection aptly named because
every girl wants that Hollywood glamour...picture perfect scents
that make you feel like the papparazzi is going to jump out from
behind a bush and start snapping pictures of fabulous you. Our So
French collection is all about luxury and lazy days of the
past...beautiful apothecary type items that make you daydream
about French cafe's and long lavender fields and silk sheets.
Oh la la!



We have three other collections currently; our Fabulous Gifts
collection, which is all about gorgeous wrappings and perfect
gifts, our newly Once Upon a Time collection which
is in production currently and will have goodies focused on
fairy tales and the stuff dreams are made of. And our newest collection
which has been super popular is our Aphrodite's Heaven collection.
This collection is all about the GODDESS in you, with scents like
Aphrodite, Eve, Lady Godiva and more.

We're also defined by our love of fragrances and the diverse
products we offer. We really strive to have scents as realistic
as possible and different types of products to appeal to all
different needs. We love to use wonderful ingredients such as
shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, botanicals
such as lavender, spearmint leaf, lemongrass, sea salts from Europe
as well as the Caribbean, milk powder, rose petals, and much, much
more.

And as is evident by our website, we love color! Our
labels/product names are created and designed to be fun
and eyecatching so that it just draws your eye and makes
you smile every time you go to grab for one of our bath
goodies in your bathroom. A product that makes you giggle
in glee every time you use it. Most of all, we love our
customers and want to give them a product that is something
they deserve, something that smells heavenly, feels great going
on and makes them just feel fabulous! 

2. Where can one buy Margarita Bloom products?

You can find our wonderful bath products up at our website,
www.margarita-bloom.com and at various high end boutique stores.

3. Where do you find inspiration for your products?

Inspiration for our products comes from many different places.
I find I'm inspired by various foods and drinks, nature, people
and places in the world as well as the the 40's and 50's. I just
love that era where everyone was all dolled up and looked gorgeous.
I'm a big fan of old movies that have Cary Grant, Rita Hayworth,
Marilyn Monroe, Katherine & Audrey Hepburn and all those wonderful  actors and actresses... I wanted to bring some of that retro flair to my site. Not just the old Hollywood, but the Hollywood of today also inspires me.


4. Out of all the collections you have, which is the most popular
one with the customers?

Everyone always seems to love all our collections, but if I had
to pick one I would say that our Bakery collection is the most
popular. And rightly so, because who wouldn't want one of their
favorite desserts in a bath and body product you can use without
the guilt or calories?



5. Do you have any new collections which you will be launching this year?

Oh my, we always have so many new product ideas in the works for
Margarita Bloom that we always have to make sure we write them down for  future use! Yes, we will be adding products to our Once Upon A Time collection as well as new larger sized items to our So French collection. We'll have gorgeous bail jars filled with soothing
milk bath soaks and skin smoothing butters. We'll also have divine bubble baths in gorgeous apothecary wine bottles; a fabulous
accessory for your bathtub!

We'll have a new collection that I'm very excited about. It's
called Geisha Glamorama and will include soothing Asian-inspired
fragrances and products such as green tea and cucumber, sake,
cherry blossom bubble baths, green tea body butter, bath soaks,
spa soaps and more!

We're always continously looking for ways to keep our
website fresh and new for our customers, and we always have so
many wonderful ideas for new products and collections. For
anyone who wants to keep updated on our comings and goings, the
best way to is to join our specials located on our home page, or
what I like to call the VIP room, where you can be the first to
know about what's happening with Margarita Bloom.

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed talking with you
Xarian, and doing this interview. It's a wonderful way to get
the word out about Margarita Bloom. Thanks so much!

Every Chick's Fantasy Store

Posted on December 1, 2007, 2:10 am by Calvin

Like you, I enjoy a good bargain. Actually, I'll pretty much freeload until you cut me off. So when UCE asked me to fill you in on a weekly steal, I thought maybe they had been following me around when I scarfed all the free samples at that membership-only warehouse club. Either way, it's right up my alley, so here it goes.

This week's bargain is from none other than every chick's fantasy store (and pretty much every straight guy’s nightmare), Sephora. Go to their "sale" page, and get up to 75% off on all the cool stuff you usually can't afford.

GET IT!
