Hi everyone!  My name is Melissa.  I started Skin Candy in April 2008.  My husband and I own a dog daycare in Allentown, Pa (www.woofworldpa.com).   I'm a HUGE reader and one day my husband said to me, "you need a real hobby".  Yep, he said that!  Well, as any good wife would do when their husband says something like that.........I ignored him.  Went about my life with the dogs and my books.  

I work with dogs...I can't wear make-up because it's licked off by 9am.  I can't wear jewelery because I'm afraid to poke a dog's eye out with my rings.  I can't wear nice clothes because hey....I work with dogs...but dammit, I CAN smell pretty! 

So one day,  after spending over $100 at Bath & Body Works (the great semi-annual sale no less) and not caring for the way it moisturized my skin (just call me alligator legs) I started thinking, "I wonder if I can do this better?" .... and then the husband's words of "you need a real hobby" came to me and I was OFF!!!!

Now mind you, I started off making stuff just for me but everyone kept commenting on how nice I smelled, so I thought, "hmmmmm, why not offer it to others?"  So Skin Candy was born!

My lotions and butters actually work!  AND I can make them in smells that the big guys would never dream of!  Ohhhh my- if you are a foodie, like me, be prepared for heaven.  I also liked the idea of my customers being able to mix & match all of my fragrance oils and make their own smell goodies.

Dear husband just rolls his eyes at me every time an order comes in and I rush off to make it because now he says; "hobby...I said hobby.....not a second business" LOL!!!!!
