"Dear Kristen,
I am writing to let you know that we received the soap and Extreme Cream within 2 days of my order. Thanks for such great service. My wife found you at the Dana Point Tall Ships Festival. Well she was using the Coastal Sage soap in her bath before bed - and frankly, came to bed smelling like she had been on a hike in the chapparal. It wasn't until our remodel, and I was forced to use the bath tub, when I tried that bar of soap sitting in her soap dish. It was before work, when I first tried it, and honestly, it totally destressed me from my pre workday tension!
I've been hooked ever since.

Thank you very, very much."

"Hi Kristen:
I just purchased 3 bars of your "Lotion Lady" handmade soaps at the Oceanside Farmer's Market only because the "Other Soap Lady" hadn't returned to OFM in some 3-4 months, which is when I'd last bought soap from her and which I really liked.

That was then ... this is now! Thanks for explaining your process of making these incredible soaps or I may never have tried them. To my amazement I can say I'm truly enjoying every opportunity to lather up and experience the cleansing properties and lingering scents of your soaps. I'm about through my first bar (don't recall the name of it, but you said it was your #1 seller--let me know which one so I can reorder when ready); the other one the Plumeria, and the 3rd bar is the Lavender Oatmeal.

I'm on a bit of a tight budget right now ... looking for a job, but I plan on bookmarking your webpage so I can order some of your other products when I'm able.

Just wanted to say THANKS! for a really wonderful personal care product!"

"My friend from Seattle, Washington sent me your product for my birthday about a year and a half ago. She sent me your soap and it has made a WORLD of difference for my skin. The three bars have lasted so long and I have converted my husband to the soap as well. Both of our skin is virtually acne free. Before we used to get occasional acne. Thank you so much Kristen 'Lotion Lady'!"

"Dear Kristin,
Not sure if you remember me but I bought some Extreme Cream for at a Farmers Market a month or so ago for my 2-year-old daughter's Eczema but by the time I got home (we live in Austin) the shea butter had crystallized and it was kind of crunchy. You immediately sent me another jar and it has worked so well!! First thanks for getting it to us so fast. Such great customer service! But most of all thank you for making such a great product. It's the only thing that has worked and really makes a HUGE difference. Thank you again!!"

"Hi Kristin,
I just wanted to let you know that the Lotion lady products have made several gifts. People just LOVE them. Where I live there are several farmers' markets. I wish you were near by....your items would sell and FAST. (I am in California - near San Francisco) So glad that the items can be obtained via the web.

Also, I continue to buy them because of what it does for my skin. Mixing the lotion with an oil....it is great! Both of my boys LOVE the Sandalwood soap.

Until my next order....have a wonderful weekend."

"Hi, I just bought some of you lotion at the fair in Solana Beach and I have to tell you this is the best lotion I have ever had in my entire life, extreme lotion. I laughed at you when you said that this would last a year, which I still don't think it will, but (laughter), because I use it a lot. But, I mean this is really...really, really, really good lotion! So, thank you."

...I didn't know you had a choice of scents with the original lotion. I do know that your soap is wonderful. I am just loving it.

Your's really is the best smelling lavender."

"Hi Kristen,
I've been using your Extreme Cream for a few years. I service swimming pools and do installation and repair of pool equipment. I've been at it for thirty years. Hands in and out of chemically treated water, dirty pipes, PVC primer and glue. My hands get to where there would be cracks across the grain to the meat. Ouch!! Three consecutive nightly applications of Extreme Cream and my hands are silky smooth and soft. Miraculous! I've tried Bag Balm, countless skin therapy lotions and nothing comes close to your wonderfull product! In fact, nothing else worked. After buying one jar every year at Bernardo Winery I felt it was about time for a testimonial. Hopefully it will induce others to try your products. It is definitely a mutually beneficial situation. Thanks you,"

"I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed using the 'Extreme Cream'. I had purchased a hand cream at a spa back in April and I was disappointed in it because it seemed to only coat my hands and didn't really absorb into my skin. Your cream seems to penetrate more into the skin. I want to thank you for contest and the opportunity to try your product."

"Hi Kristen,
Well I have been using your great products for a couple of weeks now and WOW! I especially love the sea scrub it smells great and works great. I bought some extra products so I could let my family and friends give them a try, they also love them.My husband who uses nothing that would be considered girly LOVES the soap,even the scented ( I gave my brother the unscented). He says it doesn't leave his skin feeling dry like other soaps. I have recently started to make gift arrangements that include some of the excellent products (including yours) I have come across on the internet, television and locally...
Thank You "

"Hi Kristen,
I just had to write, although I have seen you about town, in your van and have stopped you to tell you in person how wonderful your products are. I wanted to say it again in writing. As much of a fan I am of the Extreme Cream, this is about the wonders of Calendula & Tea Tree Oil. With the recent heat and humidity I developed spots of rashes between folds of skin. I was about at the end of my rope with the itching and my scratching. I then remembered I picked up the Calendula & Tea Tree oil for my husband. I tried and felt immediate relief for the itching and with in a few days the rash was done. What a miracle! thank-you, Thank-You, THANK-YOU!
BIG cyber hug for you. "

"Kristen,
I just want to say how wonderful the Extreme cream is for sunburns. After a sun drenched day at Disneyland, my forehead and neck were bright red. Normally, this would start to flake and peel after a day or two. However, after applying the cream before I went to bed and the next morning, my skin has felt great. No peeling. No flaking. No pain. You are making great products. Keep up the good work. "

I just received my soap order yesterday, the soap is wonderful! I was paralyzed from the waist down 4 years ago and ever since then my skin has been very sensitive..

I left you a message tonight on your machine but neglected to tell you that I wanted to place an order. I think it sounded like I sold something already.

"Hi,
In January I won jar of your Extreme Cream. I just wanted to let you know (as if you didn't already know) that the stuff is wonderful! I use it every evening on my boyfriend's excema and the cream stops it from cracking. This is the only reason why he tolerates what he calls a "girly treatment"... because it works. Heehee. I also use it when I have razor burn on my legs and it is very soothing. And I know you say it's absolutely unscented but it sure smells good to me... mild... but good. =)

I just wanted to thank you for holding a monthly contest. I'm very glad with the quality of your product. As soon as we start to run out of this first jar I know my boyfriend will have me ordering more! Thank you again.
All my best,"

"Hi Kristen!
I just received this e-mail from my dad’s wife and thought you might be interested to know how they like your Extreme Cream. I referred them to your web address too so they could see more things. Your web site is COOL! See you at Ocean Knoll.:

'Sheila,
Tom is using the hand cream you sent. It is clearing up his hands!!! He has tried prescriptions and many many otc's to clear them up. The skin on his hands gets really hard and cracks open, even bleeds. Tom will sit in the evenings, watching TV and take a little bit and rub in his hands. IT'S THE BEST HE HAD FOUND!! So far he has only used the cream from the lid, not even using from the jar yet. A little goes a long ways! So thanks so very much.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
Have a great day and talk to you soon, I'm sure.
RUTH' "

"Hi Kristen!
I purchased your products at the Rancho Bernardo Winery Craft Fair, on Mother's Day 2002 and absolutely love them. I am a massage therapist and initially purchased the Plumaria Body Oil for client use - but decided to keep it for myself, I loved it so much. I am also an Aqua Aerobics instructor and use the "Extreme Cream" to combat the chlorine effects on my skin. Your products are great...Thank you - Thank you - Thank you."

"I really like the fact that your products are so gentle to the skin and environment as it is so hard to find both and yet find a selection as varied as yours. I especially like the soaps and the variety of fragrances, especially the Hawaiian ones. It is kind of like having the wonderful fragrances of paradise while being in your own home so far away. Gosh, I am so sorry as I am not very good at comments."

"I received my lotion and it is hard to put into words just how much I love it. I received in on Monday and immediately tried it. The lotion itself is so silky and smooth and I love the way it has a light scent. I also love the way it does not leave any greasy feel to the skin. I brought it into work yesterday morning so I could use it at work. A few co-workers saw it and asked if they could try some. I said yes and they all had the same reaction as I did. I gave them your site url so they could purchase some for themselves. I hope that is okay. You have my business for a long, long time! Thank you so much"

"Hi Kristen,
...I had to write you and thank you for putting me on to the Calendula, Comfrey & Tea Tree Oil. You witnessed the mean looking injury I had on my hand; I wish you could see my hand now. It would be a real testament to your products. It worked better than any antibiotic ointment I have used in the past. Also, for the extended regular treatment I was amazed how very little oil was used. ...I will never be without it.
Best Wishes, God Bless.... and keep up the good work!"
