Eye Candy: Uh, Eye Candy

Amy Atlas Events has a gorgeous section of photography on her website called, perfectly enough, Eye Candy. The pictures are amazing!

1000th Etsy Sale!

No, we're not quite to our 1000th Etsy sale, but we're getting close! This is quite the milestone for us - I'm not sure we thought it would happen quite this quickly, but we're certainly happy about it.

To celebrate this amazing milestone, the person who orders the 1000th item from our Etsy shop will have their order DOUBLED. That's right - if you order one Spice Rack and one dozen Sweetened Grapefruit lollipops and you're the person who orders the 1000th item, we'll send you TWO Spice Racks and TWO dozen Sweetened Grapefruit lollipops! It's a great deal.

So stop by the shop today, and maybe place an order. Perhaps you'll get your order doubled!

NaNoWriMo

I've done NaNoWriMo before. It can be quite the slog, but so much fun when you're done. You've written a book!

Picture yourself halfway through the month: it's November 15th, you've got 20,000 words written out of your 50,000 required. It's late, you've got a deadline at work that you've been slacking off on because you're trying to get this particular scene juuuuuuust right. But hey! You suddenly remember that you've got exactly what you need: lollipops! Blueberry Muffin lollipops, to be exact. Why Blueberry Muffin? Because they have a great warm muffin taste combined with the zing of blueberry that leaps out at you to give you that kick in the pants you might need about that time.

(We also recommend our hazelnut-coffee flavored Lickanthrope lollipops to remind your body of caffeine without actually making it so you can't sleep.)

Good luck with your novel!

We Have Liftoff

Lots of people, particularly kids, have trouble clearing their ears when the cabin pressure changes in an airplane. One technique for unclogging your ears is to swallow or yawn.

Eating a lollipop is one way to stimulate your saliva production and increase the number of times you swallow. If you’re traveling for business or pleasure anytime soon, be sure to include lollipops in your carry-on bag. Even if you’re not headed away on a tropical vacation, try our limited edition of sweet-tart tropical flavors: mango and pineapple suckers.

Treats for Volunteers

I don't know how your kids' school(s) work(s), but here in California the schools rely heavily on parent volunteers. Recruiting people to volunteer can be touchy because so many parents work and they're asked to volunteer so often.

I will admit to using candy to get people to show up. As one person told me last year: "I've learned that if I help, I get yummy lollipops." It really works!

Our floral honey-jasmine Sweethearts are a perfect sweet to entice grown-ups to do your bidding - I mean, help out at school events.

Eye Candy: Shooting Star Press

Ok, some of the eye candy posts have become disturbingly high brow. How about some high-flying pro wrestling to mix it up.
