Pony Dust Cosmetics Off To Boston

May is Birthday month here in our house hold. When I say house hold I mean between my sister, her children, me, my Gram, and a few cousins. We all celebrate a birthday between April 30th and June 15. Most of us are right in May. It makes it very hectic for weekends and with mothers day to top it off  I am exhausted. I couldn't eat another piece of cake if you shoved it down my throat.
For my 40th birthday I got a new computer. A much needed more powerful computer. Thank you Hubby!!!
Now I need to do some catching up with you all. I have been working hard to get my files on my new computer and organized.
I want to let you know that I will be in the Sampler Village boxes and Out of the Box sampler both june and july. Be sure to check out my video on the boxes.
Craft show season has begun so I will be very busy getting my jewelry ready for the big show. I hope to take my Pony Dust on the road as well. Weekends will be very hectic but I will respond to any e-mails or comments upon my return. Please don't worry if I am not right here.
I have been doing a venue workshop on my other blog that you might be interested in if you are a crafter. Check it out Here be sure to leave a comment on this blog and put you link and description on the handcrafted page. Nice for exposure and free.
This weekend Craig and I are going to Boston to visit his family. The country girl in the big city a sight you might say all it's own. I will try to take lots of pictures. I often forget as my mouth hangs open and I stare in disbelief all the time I am there.

We leave Friday so this maybe my last post until next week. You all take care and have a great weekend.

A Customers Review of Our Cosmetics

I wanted to share with you the review I got from the winner of our Easter Bucket Contest. Keira is from Canada and has had time to use some of her winnings. The basket was full of our best products. Here is what she had to say.

It all started with a contest... I was lucky enough to win one of pony Dust Cosmetics prize packs and wow! The lip tint is superb offering a slight colour amp but doesn't dry out your lips like other tints I have purchased in the past! I literally just tried the silky conditioner and I'm just so impressed. My ends aren't dry!!!. I have a feeling that those major companies put way too much artificial stuff that actually dries you out more. Very very satisfied and will be using your conditioner from this point on! Just wow! Thanks!!!! -Keira
Be sure to check out her great creations on Etsy. she is very talented and a wonderful dear person.

Christmas Un Wrapped Beauty

With the holidays just around the corner or oh wait they are here. Time just fly's by us and we forget to do those things that we need to do for ourselves. While shopping it's easy to grab a quick bit to eat then run more errands and wow don't forget we still need regular groceries before Christmas gets here. Be kind to yourself and your behind and leave the fast food alone. We get caught up in the hustle and bustle of things and grab what ever is handy. I am not say it's bad to have a treat but this time of the year we treat ourselves to 5 extra pounds ever holiday season only to have old man winter come in a ruin our regular exercise routine.

Eat before going shopping take a healthy snack if you are going to be most of the day. You will save money and your back side. It also gives you that extra cash to add to a special Christmas gift you thought might be out of your reach and maybe a little something special for yourself.
Drink plenty of water. This time of year we are indoors more than ever and have more clothes on. our clothing also sucks moisture out of our skin. Be sure to exfoliate and lather on the lotions. Dry air and running here and there, cooking all takes a toll on our bodies. Stress begins to sink in and if we don't take a time out for that relaxing bath or a nice facial we can make ourselves sick. For a little Christmas gift buy a nice lotion, bar of soap, or bath salts and take 20 minutes for you! It will re energize you and give you the strength to carry on. Besides I am sure you have a few friends and family that don't care if the gift is wrapped with ribbons and bow.
You don't have to wrap mine!

We are up and Running

We are up and running. The website is coming along more everyday. I have been busy taking pictures and getting products listed. I have orders coming in daily so be patient I will get everything on A.S.A.P. I am eager to get this off the ground and waiting for my order of sample size bottles to come.

Take a peak at the site if you have minute. Fill out the questions at the bottom of each page. It will help me better serve you if I know what you are looking for. I really wish we had smella vision so you could smell the wonderful lotion and lip balm scents. I am working on new ones every day so keep checking back. Like the one I will make tomorrow, peppermint patty lip balm and Sandal wood body butter. I really love creating these wonderful products and almost all of it so far is edible. (please don't eat it though) I really don't think that much oil is good for you.
  I will keep you all posted as to new creations and any ideas you have for my site or a product please let me know.
Up coming items are shampoo, cream to powder eyeshadow, and yummy sugar and salt scrubs. I look to have them done this weekend and on my site some time next week. Till then See ya all later.

Getting Ready For my Premier

As you Can see by the new banner I am getting ready to premier my new cosmetics line. Pony Dust cosmetics has been in the making for some time now and is almost ready to get up and running. I will be adding new products each week so be sure to check back often. This is exciting for me as I have created a line of cosmetics and lotions that are luxurious and natural. My creative side has taken over and will be a great benefit to you.

Once upon a time not so long ago I sold products in my salon for other companies. Only to have them Discontinue products and even the entire line. After I paid for the education the packaging and a large investment into their product I was left high and dry. This time it will not happen again. I am designing my own line with my name and my reputation. It has been a long time coming and we are about to launch this new and great product. If you have a salon and would like to have these products in your salon I will have a great program for that. A no charge program that will get you started with a great line of product. When I say no charge I mean it cost nothing for you to put these high quality products in your salon. Only a renewal fee each month as products are sold. Keep this in mind and check back for details.

Mineral makeup and lotions made from natural butters and essential oils will be available as soon as I can get the products listed. So without further ado I am going to sign off to get this started. Hope to see you visit soon.

My Salon

My salon is located on laporte ave. in Eagles Mere. I do everything from haircuts to colors, manicures and pedicures. I Do both men and women.

My shop is small but I still have enough room to do most services. My shop opened in this location in 1990. I since have been in the village shoppes located in the center of town. I then partnered with a good friend Jackie Dunham and had a very nice salon in Muncy Valley Pa. When the building was sold we had to move and both went our own way. My friend Jackie now has her own dog grooming salon in Muncy Pa.

Because it was a bit of a surprise to both of us that we had to move out of our shop I went on to do various other things. Thinking that I wanted to do something different I took a job immediately in a factory making plastic bottles. I don't recommend it unless you can't find anything else. The other things that I did included working at our sewer plant. That was a good job and because I was outside I loved it. I have done that for a few years now. Even after I opened my new salon. I also filled in a few hours and days with helping a painter, sanding and prep work. I learned a lot about painting from that job, like how sanding is very important. My arms got a great work out.

Which leads me back to where I started. Three years ago I opened my salon not even a year after Jackie and I closed ours right where I had began. At first I was disappointed but then found it to be nice for many reasons. One is it is right where I live. I just fall out of bed and go to work. Also because it is slow in the winter I can make jewelry in my spare time. You can see my creations on my website. These are one of a kind silver jewelry.

 So my adventures continue look for updates and articles on hairstyles new products, how tos and more. Coming soon.
