Hosting and Posting

I can't believe it is almost Yom Tov time!  The whirlwind of cooking, baking, eating, sleeping and praying is almost upon us...and hosting too!
I don't know about all of you but I LOVE having guests.  I love preparing the room, neat beds, no mess on the floor, smells good and of course a fabulous hostess basket to top it off!  I think it is because it is the only neat room of my house, that actually stays neat for more than 5minutes after cleaning it!

So I thought I would let others have fun hosting too, but make it much easier for them!  I went out last week and bought these fabulous boxes

Now I have to fill them up!  That will be this weeks task.  And of course, posting them up when they are complete.  

So for all of you that are really advanced and already making lists of what needs to be done for the busy season ahead, tick one thing off your list, your guests will be extra pampered with Regalo's hostess baskets.

Have a great day :)

And Just because I like to make your life easier, I'll let you in on something - head out to Daffy's closing down sale for some AMAZING offers.  I happened upon one yesterday in downtown Manhattan and got myself some GREAT bargains !!

It's A Winner!

I finally remembered that I had mentioned a competition on facebook; and so we put the names in a cosmetic bag and picked a lucky winner (check out our facebook page to see who)!

The week has just started, I am finally working my normal part time hours but I am still so busy!  Searching for good deals on bulk items, ordering, thinking up ideas, and keeping in touch with my fans :)

This past friday I treated myself to a much needed mani-pedi (picture below!) and it totally inspired me to do the coolest thing.  A hostess basket in one color, with a statement item.  So lets say pink basket, pink towel, red apples, pink chocolate bar and pink candies with a silver candle.

Oh my head is spinning from ideas.
Now I must get to work and put them into action.  So good night ladies.

Starting Up

I just came home from a full day at work (yup I work too!) and I am so desperate to get Regalo started and to give something special to all my fellow hard working ladies!  But things are not moving fast enough!
POST NOTE:  Starting up a business is NOT 1 2 3 ;)

So there are so many things I want to say on facebook but I can't just keep posting every 5 minutes and not all my thoughts voice so well into a small status update so tonights project was start a blog.  Its the latest "shtick", its what everyone does so why not.  I have a lot to say for myself (or so people like to tell me.) and I have even more to say about Regalo.  Somethings are too hard to voice in one word.

I'll use this post to say a bit of why and how Regalo started.  I am the oldest of my family and so when my sister got married it was a big deal for me.  I wanted to give her the most perfect amazing gift, for HER.  I knew she would get everything she needs from all her family and friends but what could I give her?  And suddenly the spark went off.  A mikvah kit.  A beautiful cosmetic bag with everything she needs for the night of.  I put black pads, eyeliner and lip gloss, nail polish remover, deodorant, perfume and q-tips.  Literally everything she needed for the last "touch-up" before she dipped to the last touch-ups for going home.  All in a small bag that she could just grab and run with.
I used to hate that each time I had to go I had to separate all my cosmetics, pre-preparation stuff, bags and all to get together what I needed.
She loved it.

So I thought why limit it to just her?  So many people I told about this gift got so excited, thought it was so wonderful and that is when Regalo was born.

Right now I have to go prepare for Shabbos (working again tomorrow) so Ill sign off with this picture of the original Regalo mikvah kit.

Don't forget to check out more pictures on Facebook and come back soon for some more posts.

All the best,
