Thank you for 11 wonderful years!

Hi, again!

Skip and I want to thank all of you who joined us for our 11th Anniversary last month. What a wonderful time we had. It's hard to believe we are going on our 12th year with HSN - but as they say - time really flies when you're having fun!

Hope you all had a chance to take advantage of some of our best values of the year. We loved giving you certain special surprises, like our "Share your Scents of Perlier Body Cream Gift Special" (10 Perlier Body Creams in one gift box) which we do just ONCE a year! For those of you who missed our shows, try going to HSN.COM - you will still find some extra special, once-a-year values there. But hurry…if you want to grab any of these items, get them now. Once they are sold out, that's IT until next year.

Speaking of special surprises, I know many of you saw the wonderful surprise Skip orchestrated for me by creating and giving me one of my all-time favorite perfumes....as well as using my initials AJB on the box, in gold (my favorite metal), coloring the box purple (my favorite color), and designing an unusual bottle and cap (because I always say, "Predictability is the kiss of death!"). Wow. I was overwhelmed. Really. The AJB bottle design and everything is a limited edition, too. I am sooooo thrilled with this tribute from Skip and so touched - and so happy to be able to share it with all of YOU!!!! Please try it and see if you don't agree with me that this fragrance is just divine!

Like Snowdrop, AJB has a magic all its own. I would describe it as Snowdrop's older, more provocative sister. It has angelic notes, like Snowdrop, but it has a little more pizzazz! It is alluring, glamorous, and a tad "swanky". I think you'll see that it has the same enchanting effect as Snowdrop, only definitely more bewitching. I am really looking forward to hearing your reactions. And although AJB is a limited edition, I am going to see about getting a different bottle, box, and size, yet keeping the same fragrance for 2008!!

Thank you also, for ALL your many, many emails! Unfortunately, Skip and I found out last time, that when we had our HSN Bulletin Board, we could not keep up with all the questions, or requests. However, what I can tell you, in all honesty is this: every email you send our way, is read by us. And we do take into consideration everything you tell us you would like, or need. So please keep your words coming....and sharing your opinions with us, as well as your ideas, and suggestions.

In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours....and looking forward to having you join us for our fabulous Christmas shows on Dec. 5 and 6!

Cheers! Amanda & Skip

I love the Perlier Olivarium. I really wanted to see an auto-ship of the Shower Cream and Treatment Butter. Is there a chance that that combination will be on auto-ship soon?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Skip and Amanda. And, greetings to your families. I have been an IBB junkie since the days of Nature's One Gardenia (in the Green velvet box) and Nature's One Freesia. It has been my pleasure to see you, Skip, marry and have your children. And, Amanda, thank you for having hair like mine, sharing your tips to make our hair look good. I, too, do not care for the pumpkin products. But, I have nearly all of the fragrances that you have introduced. Thanks.

Hi Skip and Amanda! I love all of your products there's nothing that even comes close to the quality of your products. I love the Shea Butter (original scent), and I remember Skip telling me awhile back that you had an edt that goes along with that fragrance called Almond Blossom. The problem is, I can't find it ANYWHERE!! Can you tell me where I can find it or if you are planning to bring it to HSN, and if so, when? I love the fragrance and I can't get enough of it and I don't want to run out.

Hi Skip and Amanda!!! Thank you for such a GREAT Christmas show this past weekend! You two are a hoot and keep me laughing!!! I love, love, LOVE all your products and can't wait to try the New Musk, the Cotton Candy and the Diffusers!! By the way, Skip and Amanda, will you think about not retiring the Wild Orchids? I, like so many others, love the Wild Orchids and it is such a beautiful scent and packaging for gift giving! Maybe if we get a petition...then will you reconsider?? ;)

I was just wondering if anyone was dissapointed in the huge kit offered this Dec. ? Last year there was more duo's that could be given as gifts. I didn't really care that the non-scented mdse was in it. It is so much nicer to be able to give a gift of fragrance. Last year I got alot of different varieties of mdse. This year I didn't even order it and I am a big IBB customer. I have spent over $500 This year alone!

Am I the only one who loved the Pumpkin Spice on the IBB Customer Voice? It was my favorite so far but I never saw the vote on how it went over, would love to see the results.

I love all of the IBB products and have used them for many years. However, the Pumpkin Spice scent is horrible. Both the body cream and shower gel have a very strange smell. They do not carry any hint of pumpkin or spice. I was so disappointed. I'll continue using IBB, but not the Pumpkin Spice!

Skip and Amanda-Being your first Perlier model for 6-7 years, I can truely give an honest testimonial that every one of your products are top knotch. I believe I have tried all of them and I love your products so much that I still give them to my friends and family to this day. My favorite products are the classic ones- honey, olive oil, rice, vanilla, white almond, etc. Also, my newborn son truely enjoys lathering it up in the bath with double latte. Thank you for making my skin great!

Amanda and Skip. Could you please bring back the old Shea Butter where its so Thick and you can cut it with a knife? I would love to try it as I wasn't able or thought I didn't need it at the time. My skin is clearing up from the two different shea butters offered in November of 2007. Keep up the good work. And I can't wait till the new IBB for December comes to my home. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEARS ALL!!!!

PUMPKIN SPICE was totally HORRIBLE I tell ya's. Gawd it almost made me so sick. And thank God that with the IBB Voice Program that we do help in these matters of keeping out the bad and keeping the BEST which of course is IBB. It was so over powering sorta like that the Pumpkin Spice almost made me sick, sadly to say.

I love the Elariia shea butter products and I am curious if the perlier white almond products (in particular the perfume spray) have the same scent as the shea butter almondy scent? Has any one tried both products?

Pumpkin Spice smelled cheap and awful; no resemblance to either pumpkin or spice.

Hi Skip and Amanda, Love your products! I ordered Amanda's personal fragrance and absolutely love it. This fragrance has got to be sent by Angels (and Skip) to all of us who love Amanda so much. Her beauty and elegance is surpassed by no one! A bath powder, shower gel and body cream to complement the fragrance would be perfect for layering. I just can't seem to get enough of the fragrance and I'm so afraid to use it too much for fear I'll run out. Please keep bringing this to us. Thanks!!

AMANDA &SKIP, MY 8 YEAR OLD GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS ECZEMA IT IS ALL OVER HER BACK AND BOTH ARMS AND IS REAL BAD ON HER WRISTS. SHE DOES SEE A DERMOTOLOGIST NOT MUCH SEEMS TO HELP. BUT I BOUGHT HER YOUR OLIVE OIL LINE AND TOLD HER TO USE THE SOAPS AND CREAM TWICE A DAY. AND IF SHE DID, FOR CHRISTMAS I WOULD BUY HER THE HONEY LEMON LINE. PLEASE TELL ME YOU WILL HAVE IT AGAIN. SHE USED THE OLIVE OIL LINE AND THE DR. CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH BETTER SHE IS. SAYING THANK YOU TO YOU IS NOT ENOUGH.
