Be cool everywhere you go with our tiny 3.5″ Purse Fans that easily fold up to fit into your Purse. Some of us are going thru Menopause and can appreciate how inconvenient hot flashes can be. Now you can carry this amazing little fan that expands up to an 8″ diameter fan with handle for those times when you just need a personal cool breeze.

They operate the same way a car window sunscreen does. You simply twist the outer wired edge in a right or left motion and they quickly fold out or in. The little white plastic handle holds the fan when closed or becomes your handle for fanning yourself.
Here is how they work:

We are starting with the humorous: When You’re Hot Your Hot!, a classy Black Toile and the goes with everything Green Floral style. Now you can look cool even when you’re hot!

All home fragrance companies release new fragrances in Spring and Fall every year. Naturally, some less popular scents must be discontinued every year to make room for the new fragrances. Greenleaf has released only one new scent for 2008 Spring/Summer: Evening Twilight.

Deb loves this scent because it is fresh, clean and delicate. I tend to go for the heavier floral scents. Evening Twilight is a lovely blend of Tuberose and Lily of the Valley. The pastel blue color is very trendy for 2008 in keeping with the “green” movement.

This color and fragrance is a perfect “Spa” necessity for your bath. Greenleaf has also improved all of their hand lotions this year by adding Jojoba which makes the lotion ultra creamy and moisturizing.

We are starting out with Room Spray, Refresher Oil, Sachet, Diffuser Oil and Lotion in this fresh new scent. You can find Evening Twilight by clicking here.

We are also offering the new Jojoba lotion in Classic Linen and Lavender. Free samples are available in Lavender and Evening Twilight by request. Sachets are a great way to sample a new scent and they also add fragrance when placed in your bathroom.

We have sold this fine line of 100% palm oil wax designer candles now for 3-4 years. Personally, these are my favorites to burn on my desk while working. The scent is wonderful with good throw, simply perfect for an average bedroom size room.

Last year Wesson Garrett, the co-owner of Isola Luce told me they would no longer offer the Bali Beach version. However, he did say they would continue to make this style available to Fresh Bet. The difference is the packaging. While I realize many folks love their beautiful silk-padded luxurious boxes; it is my preference to pay a bit less and not have such a beautiful box which I may eventually discard.

The Bali Beach version is 9 oz in beautiful frosted glass with a simple corrugated box. We are able to sell these for $24.00 vs. $30 for the West Palm Beach packaging. They also offer a 5 oz candle in Maui packaging for $18.00. I consider the Bali Beach to be the best value and this is why we only stock this size.

Well, as much as I love these candles, the sales have dropped off for us over the past 6 months. Typically this is an indicator they we should drop the line. So, I placed many of the scents on clearance to close out our stock. Lo and behold, as has happened so many times before for me, the sales picked up and it seems our customers don’t want us to drop the line.

This is what has happened with the Island Romance scent (one of my personal faves); thus we have ordered more and will continue to stock only the better selling scents in this line. We will continue to clear out the slow movers. So, if you haven’t tried an Isola Luce candle - please indulge yourself! You will not be disappointed.
