These are great bars to use to teach children about washing their hands each time the visit the restroom. They lather up rather nicely in warm water!! I take orders of any size. Email me today with your order!!<br />I can also make special soaps, like adding aloe vera, vitamen E, hotwheels, sea shells, etc.<br />I also can make them with no dye. All soaps come with a white ribbon, packaged in clear bag, with a label on the back of the package. These are highly scented soaps! Perfect for hostess/party gifts, birthdays, Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Easter, just about Any day or just because you want one and you deserve it!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHiSO3PHbflxhid-YQaIqTJHDROo2aUCqztBh-lBqY1sWxYXqP1zLz65XRF_ColBMHsUKkJXQQsF_BblH3fRliFE3ijLUYGuExIuqu0OrbusZEy_NFinSIvLHh4Pmt1QhxdygWvIrxveM/s1600-h/HSS2.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHiSO3PHbflxhid-YQaIqTJHDROo2aUCqztBh-lBqY1sWxYXqP1zLz65XRF_ColBMHsUKkJXQQsF_BblH3fRliFE3ijLUYGuExIuqu0OrbusZEy_NFinSIvLHh4Pmt1QhxdygWvIrxveM/s320/HSS2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291396855236606498" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIPAl4N2UJ8i14l5lJMLt03Ouz4dFOt1YrjaMEi0_v4H02_Y30MSY5d1EQx1otofj7gw_QdjUQmB7rcOpyXwQD2fBwrg8ndp3IXQnLmqOrIKrHo8j27B_zo5NE8P9lMcxCO8yCghfNylU/s1600-h/HSS1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIPAl4N2UJ8i14l5lJMLt03Ouz4dFOt1YrjaMEi0_v4H02_Y30MSY5d1EQx1otofj7gw_QdjUQmB7rcOpyXwQD2fBwrg8ndp3IXQnLmqOrIKrHo8j27B_zo5NE8P9lMcxCO8yCghfNylU/s320/HSS1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291397899991841890" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So contact me today with any questions that you may have! maryreid121@yahoo.comMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18195456613508294860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691936081061708885.post-84648122357542967502009-01-11T23:50:00.006-06:002009-01-12T00:37:28.638-06:00WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3t48cvP3ZibunnTTfdRwA6SJWDDyowf4sy5a2f34NeUF3Jv0Btxg3TMX9SR1JgZEmfjBCLMTo3XuW4XajmnotOdfiPo8VQualLRVK1VOwwJKnQhhwKG95WcBNS5SflV3mqUallMGW_1s/s1600-h/Room+Sprays.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3t48cvP3ZibunnTTfdRwA6SJWDDyowf4sy5a2f34NeUF3Jv0Btxg3TMX9SR1JgZEmfjBCLMTo3XuW4XajmnotOdfiPo8VQualLRVK1VOwwJKnQhhwKG95WcBNS5SflV3mqUallMGW_1s/s320/Room+Sprays.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290283267799934946" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Right now I have a wonderful Special to pass along to you...

These are great for those that can't do home parties, but still want to earn FREE product!<br /><br />These are the simplest to do. You basically take the catalog with you where ever you go and take orders! I do these for a week. You turn in the orders and payment together and when the orders come in I deliver them to you. As a host of a catalog party you receive 15% of sales in free product. so if you sale $200 (before tax and shipping) you will get $3o in free product! If you sale $300(before tax & shipping) or more you will receive the 15% in free product and a surprise gift valued at $25.00. Book yours today!<br />Email me at: maryreid121@yahoo.com!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;">The deals I offer through my Home Parties and Catalog Parties are offered only through me as an Ind.

I finally reached 29 degrees today! The last couple of nights have been in the mid teens. I am very happy that I have a wood stove. Central heat is great, but it doesn't get down into my bones like wood heat. That is my opinion of course.<br />Well, Christmas is just about a week away. I know that most of you probably have more on your minds than booking a Candle Party, but I promised that I would get some information posted and right now I have a few minutes and there is no time like the present as they say.<br /><br />For the month of January there are a couple of deals that I would like to tell you about.<br /><ol style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><li>For the entire month of January all orders are 10% off including orders done online!</li></ol>You can order through me if your local and I can deliver them to you once they come in.(Takes approx 2 weeks for time of placing the order. If you order online you need to enter in this code: mary (all lowercase). Online orders are shipped in 3-5 days of placing the order.<br />I know that ordering through me can take up to a week longer, but the plus side of that is that it is cheaper. I place all my orders together (bulk) and the shipping is cheaper. I charge 10% for Shipping and 7.25% in tax.<br /> <br /><ul><li> <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">All orders over $50.00 ( before tax and S&H) get a free tart chunk pk in the scent of their choice.</span></li></ul><br />If you order on line you will need to contact me and let me know so that I can get your shipping information and send you your free tart chunk. If you order through me, I will add it to your order to be delivered with your order. This can be combined with the 10% off special. To get the free Tart Chunk the order has to be $50.00 after the 10% has been taken off.<br /><br />Now on the Candle Parties:<br /><br />Hostess Benefits:<br /><ol><li>On parties of $150 or more receive 15% of the party sales in FREE product AND for each $250 in sales get one item for 50% off.</li><li>Parties that have 10 or more guests you receive 1 FREE bottle of Room Spray in the scent of your choice.</li><li>Get 3 Bookings at the party and you receive and additional $30.00 in FREE product. (Once the parties have all been held). Each additional party booked over the 3 you get another $5 in FREE product.</li><li>You will receive a Hostess Gift valued at $25.00</li></ol>As you can see there are several ways to earn free product, just by having a Candle Party!<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">As an added bonus I will wave the minimum requirement and give you 15% of total sales!</span><br /><br />Candle Parties are a fun way to spend time with your friends. Book your party today to reserve the date you want! FYI: If you want your orders back by a specific time, like Valentines day, Easter, Mother's Day, etc., You will want to book your party 2 weeks before.<br />My Local area is North West Arkansas.<br /><br />In my next blog I will tell you about Catalog Parties and How you can become a Ranch House Consultant for less than $25.00!<br /><br />(In the picture above are the 16oz Victorian Candles)<br />You can visit my site:<br />http://mary.myrhcandles.com<br />To contact me through email click on "About me" and then email.<br /><br />Hope you all have a Wonderful Holiday Season!<br />So, until next time....................Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18195456613508294860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691936081061708885.post-32916146177892969252008-12-14T16:36:00.003-06:002008-12-14T17:17:51.569-06:00Christmas already??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow, I cant believe that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! I Just finished Grocery Shopping for the big dinner. This year is the first year that I will host Christmas Dinner at my house. It just my family(plus parents and siblings) and my Best Friend and her family. There will be about 22 guests, my husband and I are doing the cooking, so this should be very interesting. This year we adults are doing only for the kids. And everything is home made. I felt that this is just as good a time as any to teach my little girl that Christmas isn't all about store bought gifts. With the economy being as it is right now....well, you know how it is.<br />I want to tell everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!<br /><br />RHC is down for the holidays and will be back up taking orders Jan 5th. I will be posting specials and more information soon.Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18195456613508294860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691936081061708885.post-86502646674075940652008-12-11T11:55:00.003-06:002008-12-11T12:21:59.825-06:00A Bit of Background........I figure the best way to get started is to give a bit of background in hopes that some of this may make sense.<br />I have been married for 6 years to a wonderful man. And we have a beautiful 3 year old daughter. I have worked in many fields and have finally found the one that I really love!<br />In my years I have worked in fast food. I pressed clothes at the local dry cleaners. I have managed 2 different fast food restaurants, even moved to another state to do so for one. I have driven an 18 wheeler. The last job I held, I truly loved. I was a CNA. I had been a CNA for over 5 years. I loved working with my elders and giving them the quality of life that they may not have gotten. I like to believe that I made a difference in their lives. I would still be doing it today if my health would have let me.<br />Now I am a stay at home mom. I started selling Candles for Ranch House Candles back at the end of May. At that point I hadn't done any kind of direct sales, but I needed something that I could do at my own pace and my own schedule.<br />When I looked at the different things I could sale, I decided I wanted something that I could believe in and that the market in my area wasn't flooded with. I found both in RHC. There weren't any other reps anywhere near my area and I absolutely believe in the product.<br />At RHC we use 100% Soy wax. A replenishable resourse that is good for the environment as well. Aside from the "green" side of the product there is also the variety of scents and the fact that I wasn't over whelmed by a multitude of different kinds of items to sale. The customer service I received right off the bat was un-real. I have since found it very comforting that I can call and ask any question and I get to talk to the owners and I dont feel like the little person down the line on a totem pole. I feel as passionate about the product as the owners do.<br />There isn't any thing hidden. You know exactly what you are getting and what to expect and to me that is very important.<br />When I was growing up, so to speak, I was never one to stand up in front of others and do a speach. There was no way you could budge me from the back of the room. Now, it is so easy, so natural. I don't even think about it anymore.<br />I hope to be able to use this "virtual diary" for many different things. I need it to vent, praise, and hash out things. I will try to get up to date, asap. But for now I must go and attend to my 3yr old, lol. Life's little things are so wonderful! So, until next time, Take Care!Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18195456613508294860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691936081061708885.post-21510439383367949882008-12-09T21:52:00.002-06:002008-12-09T21:57:47.485-06:00In the beginning......Well, this is the first time that I have ever attempted to do something of this nature so please bear with me. Yes! A newby!!!<br />Since I have started my own business, I have found that I need to have an outlet to vent or to rejoice.<br />This will be very interesting to see how far it goes! Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!!!!!!!!!Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18195456613508294860noreply@blogger.com0
