Behold: New Bathmallows! Top One Is Naughty List, Bottom Is Ornamint. They'll Be On The Website After

Behold: new bathmallows! Top one is Naughty List, bottom is Ornamint. They'll be on the website after my event Saturday.

So I have a new project going on.

Meet Realms of Mana, a tribute to Magic the Gathering! The first soap is White Mana, scented with white tea and ginger, and all the bars are stamped with a gold mana symbol that's similar (but IP distinct enough) to MtG's. The second is Blue Mana, with fragrance notes of ocean waters, green apple and oakmoss, and it will get a wave stamp once it's cut.

Welcome to 2024

Let's talk about the game plan.

I'm going to try to get Chez Geek out into the public eye much more this year. That means a lot more events and trying to get into storefronts again. (Fun fact: when I first opened, I took the super sad looking prototype of Breakwater to a bunch of local gift shops in the hopes that they would take one look at that and welcome me in as a vendor. It didn't work.) So what's set in stone so far? February: Starting on the 1st and running until the 14th, there's a Valentine's sale on the website. Treat yourself, your friends, your partner - whichever you choose, enjoy a 20% discount off your order! May: there will be a small Mother's Day collection dropping on the 1st and a sale running from then until the 12th for 20% off your order. July: Starting the last week of July (the 28th or 29th) the website storefront will shut down as I attend the Maine Lobster Festival from the 31st to August 4th. The store should reopen August 6th: I'm going to continue to give myself a day off after to just assess and figure out what needs to happen next. (Especially since I keep selling out when I sell there...) September: Here's what I'm really excited and nervous about. Chez Geek is finally doing the Geek part and going to a convention!! I'll be at Granite State Comic Con in Manchester, NH on the 21st and 22nd. There's a few other balls in the air right now, so I'll update when I know how they land. For now I am thrilled about how this year looks so far and I hope you are too!!

I had a moment yesterday because things are going well and I just. Want to thank Lou Wilson, Dimension 20 and Dropout for the phrase "the ball is rolling up" because that's been the only thing in my head.

Partially related hey uh Sam. Yall want some Dropout show themed soaps?
