What People Are Saying About The Handmade Beauty Connection

"I just can't wait each week for the newsletter! I love the way the topics are headed so the focus is on one point per section. The trivia question is always interesting. Some weeks, if I can't figure it out, I can't wait to see what the answer it! I find myself thinking about it later in the week. Keep up the good work!!" Annette Aiello, CT.

"Thank you for making such a wonderful publication! HBN's site was one of the first that I found when I began making soap and pondering a career in the handmade toiletries business. HBN's president is a wonderful role model for me and I appreciate all of the wonderful information provided in the newsletter on a weekly basis. The newsletter has been a weekly treat for me for over a year now. It is a weekly reminder of the success that one can achieve in the handmade toiletries business, and shows me that my goals are not lofty, but truly at my finger tips. Nicole Watkins, Church Hill, MD.

"I'm just about speechless that I won the trivia contest! I never thought I'd win! I've been enjoying the newsletter ever since I subscribed. The reviews and recipes are super. Now that I have a break from craft shows, I intend to try some! Keep up the good work, this is a valuable service to the handmade toiletries community." Jennifer Merk, Deatsville, AL.

"Thanks for making Handmade Beauty a special weekly treat!" Bobbi Guerra, Little Rock, AR.

I just wanted to thank you for the article in this week's Handmade Beauty Connection, "Are You Confusing Your Customers?" I am getting my Web site up and running and your article was a BIG help!!!!!" Rashunda Tramble, Bern, Switzerland. (You can read the article about which Rashunda is commenting here.)

The Handmade Beauty Connection rocks!! I am in the process of preparing the June newsletter for my business, and as I write your newsletter is such an inspiration. I want to say thank you for sharing so personally in your newsletters. How you write makes you human to those of us on the outside of your life. Many business owners seem so distant and inaccessible. You make your readers feel a part of what you do. I love how you use your every day experiences to enhance the lives of all of us by sharing in ways that are not "typical business." I love the newsletters when you talk about your pregnancy - it doesn't get more real than that! I love how you process thoughts and ideas in the publication in ways that positively impact your audience. Thanks again! Charlon Bobo, Thousand Oaks, CA.

"The first thing I do every Monday morning is read HBN's newsletter! There is NO section that I don't like, so it's hard to choose which I like the most! I always check out the trivia, the new members Web sites and the recipes first. The Success Spotlights, Product Review and Business Tips are always of interest as well. You and your crew are doing a great job!" Peggy Deutsch, Waterloo, IA.

"Thank you! Your MakeYourCosmetics.com Web site is fabulous!! I have been reading your newsletter for some time now and have found it to be very informative and interesting. I am a licensed skin care therapist and have used your recipes for a select few and think they are awesome! Thanks!" Linda Mirth, Huntington Beach, CA.

"I've been meaning to let you know how much I enjoy your newsletter. Every one is loaded with good information and I look forward to reading and re-reading them. I must say "thank you" for taking the time it takes to put them together and share them. During the time I've been receiving the newsletter, I have passed on the information to many people. You are doing a wonderful job and I thank you for it." David Miller, Lakeland, FL.

"I really like the Handmade Beauty Newsletter's recipes for handmade beauty products. Before I subscribed, I wanted to learn how to use natural ingredients for these kinds of products, but didn't know where to start. Your directions help a lot, and the recipes are realistic - not off the wall - stuff I can really make and use. I also love how you include the names of other companies which feature natural soaps and such. I love receiving the newsletter and look forward to each installment! Thanks! Eileen Kelley, Baltimore, MD.

"I love your newsletter, and eagerly look forward to it each week. I find it very informative with great links, and your beauty recipes are simply delicious!"  Tamara Thomson, Canada.

"I also enjoy reading the handmade beauty product reviews. Thanks to The Handmade Beauty Connection for letting me know about so many wonderful handmade beauty products. I don't have time to make my own, but I sure love buying from people who do! I'll be doing lots of holiday shopping at HBN's site this year!! It's so nice to go there and browse all the wonderful handmade goodies in one place!" Terri Bynoe, Columbia, SC.

"Please change my subscription to my new email address so I can continue to receive the Newsletter. Thanks for having such a wonderful resource available..... I really do enjoy it." Barb Gaetz, Alberta, Canada.
