From Tval with love!

Hello soap lovers!

As I'm sure you can tell from the website, love is in the air at Tval skincare. We have some lovely kits done up. One of them is a perfect little kit for couples, and our February kit is good choice for people who feel like treating themselves! In other Valentine-related news, we're going to be on NTV news' segment called "Places to go with Sharon Snow," that will air on February 12th. We will be talking about Valentine's Day gifts other than the typical tasty chocolate types. I hope those of you who can will tune in!

For those of you that were hoping to attend the "Get Baked! Art for your Sweet Tooth!" fundraiser, it has been moved to this weekend due to the snowstorm last weekend. It will run from February 12th to the 14th, please come and show your support for Marguerite's Place!

Also, have this hilarious Zoolander clip in honour of our new ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO! cupcake!

Thank you for helping us help others

Hello soap lovers!

As some of you might remember, a couple of weeks back we had a fundraiser where we would give 10% of our sales from that weekend to the Canadian Red Cross to support those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. With the sales from that weekend, and with some generous donations from the staff, we have managed to raise over five hundred dollars! I would like to thank everyone who came in to make purchases or place their order online that weekend, it meant a lot to us. Also, the Canadian government is matching contributions to Haiti, everyone's donation will count for twice as much! I think that's something we can all get excited about.

P.S. Don't forget to come visit us at the "Get Baked! Art for your Sweet Tooth!" fundraiser this weekend at the Arts and Culture Center. We hope to see you there!

'Tis better to give AND receive...cupcakes!

Hello Everyone!

Our dear darling Anna is out on maternity leave so I, Lesley, will be filling in for her on the blog. Being a bit of an internet dork I can promise you I am all too pleased to do it! I will hopefully do her proud.

As I'm sure many of you have seen on the website, we have a special Blueberry Basil cupcake for Marguerite's Place where we donate half the proceeds of each cupcake towards their project for developing safe housing for women in St. John's. We consider ourselves very lucky to contribute to this worthy cause and we happily have been asked to join them for their new "Get Baked! Art for your Sweet Tooth!" fundraiser. The kicker? The fundraiser is based around cupcakes! I honestly couldn't think of a better theme.

The fundraiser will run from Feburary 5th to the 7th and there is an article about the event here from the Evening Telegram. We hope you all come down to buy a cupcake (real ones, knitted ones or soap ones!) and help support this great cause!

Lesley

P.S. I would like to thank all of our customers that helped us raise money for the Haiti Relief fund. It was much appreciated.

New collection on the way...

We have made 7 new matte eye shadows that we will launch by the end of next week! Here you can get a little sneak preview of me trying them out :)

We have a winner

Wow, we didn't quite expect THAT many people hunting for the pumpkin! As many of you noticed, our website went down when all the traffic caused a file in the database to crash. Oops!

But we do have a winner! Vicki was first to find the pumpkin. Congratulations Vicki! :) Please email us with your address and we will send you the set.

Apart from the website crashing, this was really fun. So keep your eyes open for a new contest very soon! :D

Pumpkin Marshmallows

It is finally that time of the year again.... the Pumpkin Marshmallow scent is back! :) It will be relaunched this week, and to celebrate we are having a contest!

Somewhere on our website is a pumpkin. Search for it and when you have found the product page that the pumpkin is on, leave your answer in a comment here. Be the first one to find the pumpkin and you will win an entire set of a large Skin Smoothie, Shower Sundae and large Whipped Sugar in the intoxicating Pumpkin Marshmallow scent (a value of $41.50)

This is what the pumpkin looks like (not that we have many pumpkins hiding willy-nilly on our pages, but still):Now, go forth and find the pumpkin! Good Luck! :)

Skincare Tip o' the week

We have a section called Skincare Tip o' the week, and I thought I should post the skincare tips here on our blog as well to keep them in an archive of sorts :)

So the first tip was on how to combat blackheads:

Apply our Deep Cleansing Oil, wring out a wash cloth in hot water and either lay down for a few minutes with the cloth over your face, or press the cloth against your skin. The heat makes the cleanser penetrate deeper. Wash off, and apply Resurface. Massage carefully, paying special attention to areas prone to black heads. Rinse off. Now you could follow up with one of our Face Masks, since the clay will absorb oil and thus help "pull out" black heads. Rinse and apply your moisturizer. For skin prone to blackheads I would recommend our Oil-free Lotion or Light & Airy
