Havin' a Staycation....A Tropical Staycation!

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Ok. So who here doesn't want to travel anywhere because of high gas prices???? Me, me, me!!!!

So, what better thing to do than have a staycation!

One of my best friends and I just had a staycation vacation in our own backyard. (Except it was at her house and neither of us have a backyard). My friend Diane has been one of my closest friends for over 24 years. In the last several years, we try to go away together at least one weekend per year. Usually we go to Palm Springs. She is great at finding great deals on cute hotels.

This year, we decided that we would keep it cheap and stay here, in Los Angeles. Of course we didn't struggle finding anything to do, we just struggled in finding the few days to string together and actually take off work!

So this last Tuesday and Wednesday, I packed up my stuff (of course I overpacked--even for a staycation). We did what we always do on vacation. Lay around, watch TV and eat. We realized that no matter what, we do the same thing here as there, but this time it was without the gas and hotel fees! What a concept.

Yesterday, we booked ourselves a spa day at Burke Williams in Sherman Oaks, CA. Ahhhhh the spaaaaaaaaa! I had a Deep Tissue massage. I think I have bruises on my back today. It was gooooooood! Hurt me, a little more!

Anyway, Diane and I decided that we should do this staycation every quarter. It was inexpensive and I DID get some rest. As she says, the thing we know how to do well is lay around and do nothing (and we've been practicing for 24 years).

If you have the chance, take yourself a little staycation. Adios!

New Workspace!

Monday, June 2, 2008

I am SO excited!!
A little over two weeks ago, we moved into a new workspace.

The way it happened was a fluke! I was busy looking for a space. We weren't really ready to have our own storefront, but I was doing some footwork, anyway. I found something near my house that was available, but the rent was pretty high. I called my friend Paula Naples (of Pure Sense by Paula), and asked her about what she pays other than her lease amount. She recommended that I not do it. (Meaning get my own space). "It's a lot of money. [in general to rent a space]. Then she though of an idea! "Would you want to set-up your KLEAN operation in the back of my store?"

And the rest is history (a very recent history, but a history, none-the-less). The Saturday after our meeting, I began to move in! It is a perfect place for us to be right now. I will be selling our KLEAN products in the store and occasionally at the Farmers Market on Sundays.

I haven't taken any pics, yet, but I will post as soon as I do.

If any of you are locals to Studio City, here's the address: 12047 Ventura Place, Studio City, CA 91604

Mother's Day Contest!

Thursday, May 1, 2008

KLEAN loves you, Mom!

Enter our contest.
We decided that we should give mom (or mom figures) a little love...

Here's how it works!

Comment on this (below).

Spell out the word MOTHER....like this:

M
O
T
H
E
R

For each letter, write a sentence, with the first word beginning with that letter, about why your Mom (or mom figure) is special to you.

For example:

"M" Mom was always there for me when I hurt myself...
"O" On the first day of school...etc....

You will be judged on creativity AND if you make us cry!

Who is us, you ask?

Jennifer ("Owner & KLEAN Queen"....ME) and
Jennifer's Mother (Hi Mom, you'll be helping me judge this contest, BTW)...

SO what do we get if we win????

You, AND your mom will each receive a $50.00 gift coupon to our web-shop! That's $100 towards product!

Come-on guys and gals, get creative....it will only take a few minutes......
We are accepting entries until Saturday, May 10th!

PLUS, if you are at a loss for words with your Mom's Day card, you can use this as your message!
