Birthdays.

We know, it’s technically just another day on the calendar, but let’s be honest, it’s also the perfect excuse to soak up a little attention, devour some cake, and shamelessly remind everyone how fabulous you are.

Birthdays aren’t just about the candles; they’re about celebrating you. And if you’re reading this, you’re already the star of the show. So, sit back, let the confetti fly, and let us sprinkle a little extra joy on your big day. You’ve earned it."

What do you think? Does this hit the vibe you’re going for? 

LoLos got a secret.

Not the “I accidentally ate the last cookie” kind, but the big kind. You see, while I’m busy whipping up goodness at LoLo Body Care, I’ve been moonlighting as a storyteller with a friend of mine, penning letters that have more heart and sass than your favorite rom-com.

But plot twist: We've been doing it under our not-so-secret alter ego, Stella and Lucille. (Think of us as the dynamic duo of words, but with moxy, heart, and sass.)

And the best part? We just had our very first podcast chat over at GoodFatLife/podcast. We dished on life, stories, and all the messy, magical, human moments that make it worth living.

Oh, where do we even start with the T-word? Tariffs. Yes, I saw you wince there, and believe me, my heart did a little somersault too. Not exactly the guest we wanted at our party, right? But like that one relative who always overstays their welcome, tariffs have made themselves quite comfortable in our world of small business.

Now, let's cut to the chase—there's been a lot of chit-chat about whether we're gonna do a little dance like Amazon and parade those price increases from tariffs on our website. Here’s the tea: we might share a planet with Amazon, but we're living in different worlds.

Let's get cozy and swap stories, because honey, LoLo Body is here to sprinkle a little zest on that beautiful life of yours!

Picture this: Toasted Coconut – sunbathing with your toes buried in the sand, feeling like a bronzed goddess. One whiff and you're there – no flight ticket needed. 

And say hello to Pink Grapefruit – that zingy wake-up call for your soul. 

But that's not all! With LoLo Body, you're not just applying a scent; you're opening the first page of your next great adventure. Let's laugh, let's lounge, and let's make every moment count.. 😘🌹

Half of me is over the pranks that have been tap-dancing around us since January. But then, there's this sparkly other half that knows deep down in my giggle-gut that laughter is the sweetest potion.

So, here's the scoop in a nutshell, sprinkled with a tad of sass and garnished with a wink: amidst the eye rolls and the prankster parade, let's remember that a good chuckle can be just the magic we need.

Seriously. 

May this April Fools’ whisk you away on a broomstick of joy. Remember, every chuckle is a high-five to our resilience - a protest of absurd, meanness, and horror.

We're at a bit of a crossroads with our beloved scent supplier closing doors this coming June. Yes, it stung—a few tears were definitely shed! This means it might be curtain call for some of our classic scents.

But don’t fret! Although we’re bidding adieu to these old favorites, we are not stopping our scent escapades. Instead, we're opening our windows wide to the sweet possibilities of new adventures.

Shuffle over to your comfiest chair and grab that trusty mug (the one with the chip on the rim that fits your lip just right). We're about to have a heart-to-heart on how to dance in the rain when the world's weather forecast solemnly promises a deep freeze coming with no chance of sun.

Flip this pancake world and find the sweet spots, sticky and covered in syrupy goodness. We'll feast on them together, and by golly, we'll thrive—not just despite the loopy times but with a cheeky wink to them.

What's the game of life if not a chance to thumb our nose at the rule book and scribble in a few of our own?

Our little annual quest into Ugly Ornament Land is bursting with the kind of charm that'd make even the Grinch do a double-take mid-snarl. 

In all honesty, it wasn't easy to find something baaad. But it was the "Whaaaaaat?" with about nine A's for added effect that did it.

I first peeped at this bauble and thought, "Hang on, is this thing going to fetch itself if I throw it?" But let me tell you, one squinty look later, and bingo, it clicked. This bad boy was all dolled up in its festive best—a mighty combo of chic and cheek, with a dash of "whackadoodle-doo!"
I mean, the keychain hook?

And what snagged the spotlight in this jamboree of jingle-jangle jubilance?

We're about to spill the tea on why everyone's falling utterly in love with LoLo Body Care this season. It's not just about pampering yourself (though, heaven knows, you deserve it) – it's a full-on embrace of supporting local, hugging our planet a little tighter, and giving your skin the kind of love story it's only dreamt of.

From Sarah's heartwarming shout-out to shopping local, to Joe and Emma's cheer for our eco-friendly efforts, right down to Dave's once-creaky elbows now feeling smoother than a jazz riff on a Saturday night – we've heard your whys, and darn it, we're blushing!

And let's not forget the swoon-worthy scents that have Diane in 3B plotting how to bottle that "fall-meets-Christmas" magic, and our very own Mark, showing Wall Street that self-care and soft hands are the real power moves.

So, what's your "why" for choosing LoLo this season? Come, join our snug, cheeky little circle – we can't wait to share heartbeats, laughter, and, of course, our love for all things LoLo.

Cheers to being real, being kind, and always, always keeping it sassy.

"Don't make anybody a homemade gift. Unless you're really good, or it's going to be really practical. If it's a little thing you think is cute 'cause you made it', just forget it." - Amy Sedaris

I have a confession. No, acutally, a dirty little secret. 

Every year, with the giddy enthusiasm of a child unleashed in a candy shop, I set off on an epic quest, not for the Holy Grail but for something far more precious.

I dive headfirst into the magical chaos of holiday bazaars, eyes wide, heart open, and mission straightforward.

With the spirit of an adventurer, I plunge into the enchanting maelstrom of holiday bazaars. My eyes sparkle with mischief; my heart is an open sleigh, and let me tell you, my dear quest is dead simple.

Imagine us, all bright-eyed at OFF and Lambtown, setting up our little home-away-from-home booth when, out of nowhere, it’s hugs-a-million with a legend.  Talk about a "squee!" moment, right?

But let me spill the beans about the heart-tugging bit – all these rad young women waltzed in, sharing how our little ol' love-labor became a thread in their family tapestry. They lit up, sniffing their fave scents, and honestly, it was like we bottled up time itself.

Your love bomb of "We've missed you!"? Total day-maker. Your stories? The cherry on top.

Now, because no adventure is complete without the yummy narrations, we dove fork-first into a smorgasbord of local delish that set our taste buds on a jive. 

Bottom line – it's you, with your belly laughs and bear hugs, that make this whole shebang so freaking special.
