Potion Master

Just an FYI to please be patient with me...I have a big stack of invoices to send out but I cannot get to them today as I'm trying to get out as many orders as possible as it's Friday, so please expect your invoices over the weekend. No more multiple emails, please! Thanks! Oh, and I was able to make quite a nice supply of Lady V's Panther and the promised 20 bottles worth of Levitation...with a diff color of glitter than before. Also brewed up a supply of the unscented phero combo from Levitation as well...around 12 bottles worth. But it's easy, I can make more.

Honey does have that biological type of smell. It can smell like urine, vaginal fluids, SEX, and can be construed as offensive in mixed company yet unbearably sexy behind closed doors in intimate situations. It's not the kind of thing that everyone can wear out and about during the day - it's very sensual. Personally, I cannot wear it during the day, it generally smells obscene on me. In a good way. I have fabulous sexual reactions from others when I wear it, at night, but I was not pleased to be propositioned by a cab driver when I tried wearing it outside during the day....he asked me if I wanted to pull the cab over and have sex with him...sooo, needless to say, I keep my honey scents for intimate occasions now. Some of the ladies here say that honey just smells powdery on their skin, on mine it smells like sex.

Dinky! I think you may have hit it. There's additional code surrounding the table code on your link as opposed to Hazel's link....which is the kind of table I tried originally. I think it needs that extra stuff. I will give it a try. And lol, yes, when I first learned to program and put up the first LP site it was way back in 1995, and did equal center back then...not just for text, for images too. This was before Dreamweaver and Flash and all that other stuff; everything was manually coded, and I never learned any other way. Do you know the code, in this format, for making a link within a page? I forget what that is even called now. So I can make the first sentence jump down to the table? Thanks so much!!!!

LOL! That is very tempting.

Ok, I looked up the recipe and have restocked on essential ingredients since I made this, so I can do a rebrew. I have requests for 2 bottles via email. Anyone else want?

No problem with making sprays. Shall I change the color of the glitter so you know it's the rebrew? Should I leave it out? I'm brewing it up now. Will be ready for bottling tomorrow.

Thanks for that link, Hazel. This is the code I tried to use which didn't work, wah. Perhaps LalaDinky is correct and it's CSS? Not sure how I would find out. If this gives anyone a clue, the orig programmer told me that the old html cues will not work on this - such as for centering, or for italic. Instead italic.has become and center has become .etc. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It sounds like a next gen of html coding only really, but it just won't speak to the older style.

Argh, I must say, I really do hate this trend. I spend HOURS every week correcting people's messed up orders because they couldn't use or see drop downs, couldn't see options, didn't fill in blanks, didn't scroll down, and in 99% of the cases, it's because they were placing orders on their phones.

Not as much, but it still contains a LOT.

WOOT! I do not have to report for jury duty tomorrow. 2 days down, 2 to go. Whew! I just checked my ingredients, and I do have enough to make another batch of Levitation Potion if people want it. I only have enough ingredients to make like 20 bottles though. Let me know who wants and I will make for you. The phero blend is easy, and I can make that for whomever wants it as a Mad Science blend.

I think we sold most of the supply of Evil in Carnation to men! The guys seemed to love it!

What I tried and failed to do, was put the ingredients into a grid so that it would display in columns. That would have been the neatest way to display, but the html programming refused to cooperate with whatever the hell the format is of this website. Everything ended up on top of each other. Does anyone know the proper code to program a grid/table like that? Correct, the paypal cart does not offer drop downs like the old one. You can only have one, and I would need four. I could easily move the ingredient list higher on the page, but because it is soooo long, I am afraid that people won't read the important instructions for ordering each option if they have to slog through too much text first. It's really difficult to get people to read these days. I wanted them to see the all the instructions as a first priority, and then peruse the ingredient list at their leisure...that's how I was thinking of it. No? The very first line says: "Please select your ingredients from the list at the bottom of this page". I wonder if I can program a link that will jump down to the list from that first sentence. Would that help? Is everyone only using tiny cel phone screens these days?

Thank you, EVERYONE for the positive feedback and encouragement! Please offer critique and suggestions if you think we can improve this page. QG said he had to read it twice...less studious, less patient customers will not even read it once. If it's too complicated, I am open to suggestions to make it easier to read. Thank you! xoxoxo

Truly, I've already done mine. LP Original and the varieties, and other ones that surprise me when they are complete. I have my all-time faves which we have discussed here and there on this board...Body Paint, Vicars & Tarts, LP Green, LP Autumn '07, Mamelons de Cerise, Aloha Pumehana, Darling Catalina, Highland Fling, Scotchies, etc. The PEs that I've made with my name on them are usually to cater to my various boyfriends' tastes - what they would like to sniff on me. But most of what I brew is for myself anyway, and I hope other people like them too. Honestly, there's not a fragranced product on the market that I would rather have than what I can make myself. I even prefer my own purses - I make those too. I just wish I could make my own jeans.

Try asking here first so the questions and answers will be for everyone's benefit. k? I KNOW I need to fill out that list some more!

Oh yes, I have plum! Several different types. Spiced plum, compote style, sugar plum, and I could construct a more fresh type by adding a drop of something like currant to act like sour skin.

No, please ask me! I may have it and just forgot to put it on the list - in which case I will add it, but there's also a few ingredients that are so over-the-top expensive, or so very concentrated, that I cannot use them for small PE-sized batches. For example, I intentionally left off my absolutes because they are not affordable in this context. As far as exotic EOs, I have sooooo many of them and they are so rarely asked for, I also left those off, but they are available if asked for.

I have a few different bacon notes - they're just meaty salty (beef jerky like) with no hickory or maple. I had a separate hickory oil, but it's almost if not completely gone, so I'm no help with the hickory at the mo. Maple, I have gallons of. LOL @ PIGGEH

Just opened up the Private Editions again! Yay! Here's the order page: http://www.lovepotionperfume.com/articles/PrivateEditions Could you guys please let me know if there is anything too confusing on there and how I might make it better? Have I forgotten anything? Suggestions welcomed! Don't bother letting me know about the big spaces between the options, because the new cart does that and I have tried everything to make the spaces smaller but it won't go. Thanks!

Eggers, you could add 3 or 4 drops of cops to that bottle and get the copulin effect without changing the essential quality of the perfume. Shake well, then shake your booty.

Hazel, since you like the scent of Pashazade, I think you may also like this one.

One ALWAYS has to qualify their wishes to be safe... When I say I want to lose weight, I add, "in a healthy way, not by losing a limb or anything."

I hope so too! I'm in group #2 this time, so it feels like I am closer to the front of the list. Last year I was in group #4 and did not have to go down there at all. Don't know if this is how it really works, but it does seem that way.

Ahhh, I've just completed the new hour-long online orientation process, and have been told not to report on Tuesday. Yay! Keeping fingers crossed for the rest of the week.

Perfectly done! Thank you! And a gold star for you!
