UpdateGosh, I didn't realize it's been nearly 2 months since I've posted anything here.
Well, first off, I've been getting many emails about the other ingredients we carried. I still have the colorants, butters such as green tea and pumpkin and flavor oils. If you need them, lmk by dropping me an email. Eventually I will be phasing out this website and will no longer be offering anything supplies related other than colorants.
Retail has been taking off despite the poor economy and we are very thankful. With new products, exciting designer shows in major cities and more press releases, we are very excited.
As far as school, I just completed my first quarter with straight A's. I'm so excited. I just completed finals and a new quarter begins this week. Just a bit more closer before I have my bachelors degree. I've also been studying business law and management including intellectual property.
This is something I recommend every business owner to do. You do not need to become a lawyer to get educated in business law. But you do want to protect your business in every way possible.
I also wanted to clarify something here. Although Daystar Soap & Candle Supply, LLC took over my fragrance oils, she did not take over my business. ANY inquiries in regards to anything related to Soap Silly Wholesale Supplies prior to the sale of the fragrance oils or anything other than fragrance oils should be made with me and me only. I will not try to contact anyone with any questions to Stacy for me. If you need something or have a question for me, contact me directly.
Also, I would appreciate it greatly and I'm sure Stacy would as well, if you would not ask me for my codes, for my manufacturer info, or anything else fragrance related as Stacy is the new home for my fragrance oils. Any names trademarked by Soap Silly Wholesale Supplies are the respective owner of Soap Silly and will remain so.
Daystar/Stacy will eventually carry all of my fragrance oils. There is no need to panic and contact me asking me for the oils or manufacturer info or if anyone else will be carrying my oils or if I have any left that I'll sell. No one else will ever carry my oils other than Stacy. It takes time and money to stock, so please be patient.
Anyone else that carries fragrances similar to ours (that are trademarked) are not an authorized seller of Soap Silly Wholesale Supplies. Many of our fragrances were blended personally by me and if another supplier happens to start carrying it/them, you'll know we were duped and will not get the same great quality as our oils are.
So please, rest assured, you will get only the best from Stacy and with time she will have all of our fragrances as well as many that were to be added to Soap Silly before the take over.
I wish everyone the best!

First off, I apologize for the delay in getting orders out.
I have been so swamped, literally I get about a dozen orders out a day. I am a full time student now as well as the kids just started a new school, the hubby was out of town for 9 days and I am in constant production for my retail end. So I am trying to get into a new routine here and getting the remaining supplies orders out asap.
If you are inquiring about your order and I have not responded back, I apologize. I have had zero time to sit down and respond to anyone. All orders up until today, have gone out and you should have your tracking numbers with the exception of a few fragrance oil orders that have come through.
Even the inquiries for the colorants line. If you didn't hear back from me, don't worry, I will.
As far as the colorants line goes, to make it easier for both you and I, I am only accepting bids from established, reputable businesses only. Not from individuals and if I receive inquiries from anyone that does not supply their business info, I will not respond to you. I apologize, but I just don't have the time to sit and chat with people who are not serious. I'll know if you're serious when you provide your supplies business name to me along with your inquiry. I hate to come across as rude, but my time is very limited right now, again, my apologies.
If I end up not selling the colorants line, I may end up keeping them up on the site for sale still. So all will NOT be lost.
Also, PLEASE DO NOT order any more fragrance oils from me. Stacy will have hers up any day now. My oils are still up because Stacy needs my info to transfer over to her site. That is the ONLY reason why my oils are still showing up on the site. If you place an order for fo's and the clearanced botanicals, I will not charge you for the oils nor will I include any. You will only be charged for the clearanced off botanicals.
Also, for those of you inquiring if I will sell off my biz name and domain name, NO, I am not.
The site has been updated with what I have remaining in stock. If I run out while I am processing orders, I may replace it with another comparable item.
Thank you for all your patience!

If you received a shipping notice from FedEx, it actually will not be leaving until tomorrow. With the transition to Daystar, it's been hectic here.
Thank you for your understanding!

|For those that have been emailing me asking if Isle of Eden buys my marshmallow fragrance oil, come on! I am not at liberty to discuss any such thing. And to even think that for one moment I would tell anyone if they did is absurd! Whether they do or don't is no ones business but theirs.
I think it's rude to ask such a question and to even think that I am willing to disclose that information to anyone.
So please, do not ask me whether she/they or any other company out there has or does use any of my (now Daystar's!) fragrance oils.

Well, I have some wonderful news to share with everyone.
Daystar Soap & Candle Supply, LLC is now the new home for Soap Silly Wholesale Supplies fragrance oils.
After very careful consideration, I have decided to sell my fragrance oils line to Stacy of Daystar. Stacy is a wonderful person and dear friend of mine for about 5 years now and I am very pleased to have her take over my oils.
There have been many things going on in my life. I have multiple businesses, I'm a full time wife and mom to 3 very active and growing up fast children (my oldest is starting high school this week, ack!), I'm still recovering from surgery, limiting my ability to lift heavy containers of oils, and I'm going back to college for my bachelor's. My plate is full!
Many of you know that I have more than one business. One of them is being taken to a whole new level that I could never have imagined. Mainly due to this I knew it was time to downsize and to do it quickly. Thus the reason for Stacy to take over my fragrance oils. Giving up the supplies end will give me so much more time to concentrate on my family, school and my other businesses. Doing the supplies took up more time than anything and took away from other things in my life.
Do I feel saddened? Not at all, because I know Stacy will do a great job as she always does.
As far as the colorants go, I am accepting offers. If you are interested in taking over my colorants line, drop me an email at soapsillyathotmaildotcom. Serious inquiries only please. Be sure to include your company name and your offer for consideration. What I am offering is colorants codes/formulas and manufacturer info only. Thank you!
Botanicals are being clearanced out and are already discounted from 50-75%. And the flavor oils will no longer be available as well. The site will remain up until the botanicals are gone. Fragrance oils are no longer available, but will soon be available at Daystar.
Marshmallow, Soap Silly's NUMBER 1 selling fragrance oil will be one of the first oils available at Daystar before long.
I want to thank everyone for their loyalty to Soap Silly Wholesale Supplies.
THANK YOU!

It's been what seems like a long recovery.
I just saw my dr last week and he said it would be another 4 months before I can fully recover. I was not happy. He told me before the surgery it would take 2 months to recover. I think he lied to me so I wouldn't change my mind about the surgery. Anyways, at least I am recovering, slowly but surely I am, that's what I keep telling myself.
I've been getting quite a few emails as to when we're reopening.
I've decided we will be open part time for the month of August. I'm going to head back into this slowly and pace myself since I am still in pain. I can't lift more than 7lbs at this time. But I have help, so it works out.
So for the month of August, we will be open on Wednesdays only, until further notice. Any orders received on Wednesdays will ship either same day or the following Thursday/Friday. Any orders received after Wednesday or before Wednesday will not be processed until the following Wednesday, no exceptions.
The other thing I wanted to share with you is that I am back in college, attending full time. I start this week and am really nervous about it. I am working on my bachelors and have 3 years left. So by opening part time, I'll be able to concentrate on my education as well as my business and serve the needs of my customers.
Also, you may have noticed we no longer accept Paypal. This is because of the fees involved. Since we are opening back up as part time, it just didn't make sense to be paying double fees. Since our cart does not reflect shipping, we'd have to collect a second payment for shipping. We would then be paying a second fee. With only accepting credit cards, we pay the fee one time, we charge your card one time with the shipping included. We will also be sending an email before your card is charged with your shipping fee and your total.
Maybe some day we can get the shipping figured into the shopping cart.
You may also notice there are more fo's in the clearance section. Botanicals are also in the clearance section. We are going to lean more in the direction of offering fragrance oils only at this time. Carrier oils will no longer be carried as well. We will continue to carry our colorants and flavor oils.
