<p>As we hold our first company meetings next week, we are going to add to our product line this year, a sugar scrub and lip balm.  Our staff, friends and family tries out our new products before we sell them.  We get comments on aspects of our skin care products so when we sell them to you, they have been tried by a variety of people; men, women, teenagers, children and babies. </p>
<p>As we start out the New Year we are excited about the endless opportunities we have to expand our product line.  We welcome you to luxuriate in our Shea Butter formula hand made decorator soaps, which leaves your skin soft, not dry.  </p>
<p>Go to our on-line store and try some of our product line, your skin will be glad you did. Make a commitment this year to take care of your skin, your body will be glad you did too.  Happy New Year and may this year be full of infinite possibilities for you and your family.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How time flys when you are having fun.  Are you taking care of your skin?  We are having a fabulous time right now creating all of these Caribbean colors for our decorative natural handmade soaps. </p>
<p>In case you haven&#8217;t heard life is grand now!  Oh don&#8217;t we love the media.  They are letting us know how our lives are going.  So we are happy now, the recession is going away, hooray.  To celebrate the spring and summer, fashion colors are all bright and Caribbean influenced.</p>
<p>We have fabulous new gift set packaging ideas to show off these beautiful uplifting colors.  We have a new clear box, edged in gold which sets off our stunning bright colored soaps in all kinds of decorative shapes.  We tie the package with grosgrain ribbon; stripped, polka dot, gingham or edged in another color.  Add our signature shell topper and WOW, it is a fabulous look.</p>
<p>Now is the time as every day is to take care of your skin.  Our Shea Butter formula soap still outsells our other soap formulas.  People love this handmade natural soap because when you get out of the shower or bath after using our handmade soaps your skin does not feel dry.  Full of oils and no harsh preservatives, our soaps are top of the line and so good for your skin.</p>
<p>Get that sun screen out right now.  Blue skies are on they way everyday and this means skin damage.  Only you can control what happens to your skin, and how your skin will age.  Make sure you start every morning with a layer of sun screen applied to your skin.  You will be glad you did, and your skin will too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We at San Clemente Soaps  are a great believer in supporting our communities.  As well as making a very fine line of handmade decorator soaps, natural bath and body products to use in your promotional or marketing campaigns , or private parties along with your own personal use; we sponsor various events in different communities throughout the year.</p>
<p>As a founding member on the board for the Women&#8217;s Festival held every March in Santa Barbara, California we are calling everyone to come on out, have some fun, learn something new and the networking opportunities abound.  San Clemente Soaps has been a sponsor every year and we are quite honored to do so.  There are many non-profit organizations involved, young girls looking to be mentored who participate, collegiate students from both the University of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara Community college who volunteer their time, and an array of organizations involved to provide the attendees with an educational and inspiring time.</p>
<p>For a further look into what this can mean for you head onto their website at <a href="http://womensfestivals.org">http://womensfestivals.org</a> and see what you can do the first of March to learn something new and expand your personal network.  Register today and enjoy a stunning weekend in the beautiful area of Santa Barbara with a very stimulating crowd. </p>
<p>Looking to view a peak at the past in the year 2009 you can watch a short video :  <a title="blocked::http://tiny.cc/2009_WF_video" href="http://tiny.cc/2009_WF_video">http://tiny.cc/2009_WF_video</a>   and from there you can see some still photos too.  Patty De Dominic, as the founder of this Women&#8217;s Festival in Santa Barbara which is about &#8217;Bringing All of Our World&#8217;s Together&#8221;, and celebrating International Women&#8217;s Day has done an outstanding job with a great group of all volunteers to make sure everyone young and old takes a bit of something back home with them. </p>
<p>As well as looking after your skin, we bring you opportunities to expand your mind, have some fun, and open doors which you have never entered.  Be a part of an exciting weekend, bring a friend and come on in.  You will be glad you did. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Saturday, September 26 a concert of women&#8217;s duets was performed to benefit breast cancer research at the John Wayne Cancer Institute at St. John&#8217;s Health Center in Santa Monica, California.  San Clemente Soaps provided the event with quite a pair itself.</p>
<p>Made in our Shea butter formula we created our hand made natural soap in the shape of a bikini, colored in pink mica and fragranced in essential plum oils along with a chocolate brown pair of flip flops which tied in with the theme of  &#8220;What a Pair&#8221;.  This custom made gift set was packaged in a pillow top and private labeled, &#8220;Girls Just Want to Have Fun!&#8221;  On this special night everyone did.</p>
<p>Go on over  and visit http:// www.whatapair.org  and see how this organization works year round raising funds for breast cancer awareness.  The annual highlight, held this past Saturday night,  is the performance by numerous Hollywood stars who donate their time performing for this worthy cause.</p>
<p>Being creative and tying in with your event is part of what we are all about.  Providing you with a product which is healthy for your skin is icing on the cake !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The long hot summer days give way to fall and alas the football season has arrived.  Whether it is the NFL or the college teams that you look forward to, we at San Clemente Soaps have party favors for you.</p>
<p>The University of Southern California (USC) has elected to go with a party favor to give out to their alumni from one of their select schools.  Our Shea Butter formula soap is made into a football, colored in Cappuccino Mica and after we add the essential oil of Vanilla Bean, the recipients believe that it is wonderful piece of chocolate.</p>
<p>But no!  It is our handmade custom decorative soaps which are gift packaged on a bed of green excelsior, placed in a cello bag and tied off with two grosgrain ribbons which are USC&#8217;s school colors.  When you add the personalized private label to top off the packaging, the alumni receive a fun, elegant novelty gift which is good for their skin and custom made just for them.</p>
<p>When you have your next football party makes sure you order handmade natural soaps shaped like a football.</p>
<p>Add your own personalized saying on a private label, and go for the touchdown !</p>
