THE NAME OF MY SHOP IS ~PAMPERED BODIES by ARTIS

The name of my shop is the same as what I had in Washington, Pampered Bodies by Artis. With my old shop I did enhancements, body wraps,hot wax dips, manicures, pedicures. My friend said it had to have my name in it and I thought, well I pamper people so that is how I got it. I would play soft music in the background and they would get a carnation and a glass of sparkling cider in a wine glass.

MINX PEDICURE~PAMPERED BODIES OPEN AGAIN

Since we have moved here I have decided to open my pedicure shop again.I still can not put my legs around the large spas for the pedicures, but can do the little foot bath ones so will give it a try.
There is a new product out that is called Minx nails. It is applied to the nails under a heat lamp. Now don't look at the dry toes, lol...but this is what it looks like. I had my first client yesterday that tried them, and I forgot to take a photo of them,so here are my feet.
I am doing a refresher course in gel nails, but I want to specialize in natural nail care both manicures and pedicures.

I AM STILL A JTRS DEALER FOR ALL COLLECTORS

I have had several emails from collectors that have noticed that my name is not on the dealer page at the Buzz and them asking if I am still a dealer. This was not a request from the Buzz,it was my request and for personal reasons.

HOWEVER, I AM STILL A DEALER FOR JTRS just like I always have been. Please feel free to contact me for any JTRS you may need or want.


Please continue to view the shoes at the Photo Gallery that Helen so lovingly keeps up to date with all our wonderful little shoes.There is a link to the right here that you can go to the Buzz.

WILL THERE BE ANY MORE SIGNED SHOES? ~UPDATE~

Update:
I spoke with Evergreen today, and a decision will be made after the first week in February as to exactly how many and which styles will be included in a prepak available to dealers of signed shoes.
Raine

WILL THERE BE ANY MORE SIGNINGS?

As much as I would like to see everyone, Evergreen is just not set up to do signings. As you are well aware, even with an experienced company there are always snafus of varying dimensions at an Event. So for now, I think we can all be content(at least I am anyway) with the pleasant memories of Artis' 10 year Anniversary. Ice sculptures, for heaven's sake, how would we ever top that!
Evergreen, is just not a collector based company as Willitts and D56 were, they are also located on the East Coast and I am out here on the Left Coast, so it is not so easy for me to pop into the warehouse and sign shoes for the dealers. It's important though, and I don't want you guys to go without, so I am working on some ideas and will keep you posted as Evergreen and I work out the details for signed shoes this year.
Best,
Raine

A MISUNDERSTANDING, SO DON'T PANIC!!

I was asked if it was the truth that Raine will no longer sign any shoes. I checked and received an answer from Raine.

The guidelines of how, when and the number of shoes that dealers are able to get has changed. The past year it did not go smoothly as when the new guidelines were set up, so they are being changed.

Raine is working with Evergreen to set up the new guidelines. Nothing is in writing yet, and as soon as it is, there will be an email letting us all know.

HI SARA, I WONDERED THE SAME THING!

I ask Raine what inspired the name and her answer was...

It's the name of a flower. I just loved the shape of it, trumpet like and then a big dramatic flare at the end. Also those delicate colors, perfect for watercolors.
