Title: Finally Back Stocking the Store!!!
I must start by apologising for any inconvenience caused by having to close the store down for the past few months. I am caring for my mother, who is not well and I do only have two hands, 4 kids, a Husband, a web & graphic design business Oh and I can't forget the Alpacas!
I simply don't have the time right now to create the cupcake soaps and candles. They really do take an awful lot of time and from a business point of view, there isn't much return for the time, effort and cost involved in making each cupcake soap/candle. Having said that I really enjoy making them, but I can't go back to the grand scale of stock we were carrying, so in my 'spare time' I may list a few for sale.
I am going to however still make my soy wax/melts for customers wishing to order them again now that we are back on track.
Being a creative kind of gal, I have transgressed and gone back to doing what I love, which is drawing and painting. It's the curse of a creative soul, darting all over the place - too many ideas and just not enough hours in the day.
VERY SOON I am going into a new venture of hand pressing my artwork onto mugs. That should be a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to being able to offer my art in a tangible, practical format.
Thanks so much for reading!
Best wishes,
Rebecka

Title: NEW! Cherry Ripe Cupcake Candle Design
When I first came up with the idea of making a cupcake candle that smelt as yummy as a Cherry Ripe, we sold out almost immediately...
So I've created a new scrummy design for our Cherry Ripe candles:-
I have only made a small batch up of 5 candles. One will be sold on eBay, the rest are listed here for the lucky few who crab this delicous smelling cupcake candle.
With the new cupcake designs, we are trying to ensure that we also offer a bonus soy wax melt/tart. This idea came about from the number of customers who have contacted us saying that they just can't bring themselves to actually light the candles ;-( So at least this way, for those who suffer this affliction, you can now pop a tart into your oil burner to smell how delicous this fragrance is.

Title: New designs - new fragrances
We have been so overwhelmed by the attention our cupcake soaps and candles have been receiving - thank you so much to everyone who has taken a chance on a new business!
Making both our candles and soaps is rather time consuming - takes a lot more TLC than first anticipated. This is fine though as this is just a hobby for us. Especially for me, Rebecka. It gives me a chance to get back to basics; so to speak and the ability to be 'hands on' as well as providing an often much needed creative break away from my web work.
Part of the fun in making our candles and soaps is the experimenting. Overall, the majority of our creations turn out as great, if not better than the initial concept. Unfortunately, with 'experimenting' there are also some not so good results. Instead of using these candles and soaps at home ourselves or giving them to family, we have decided to offer our 'Seconds' in the store. The 'seconds' are all made with the same quality wax, soap and fragrances, but just simply don't look the way we want. Perfect to actually use though! Make sure you check out the SECONDS section in our Designer Candles.
We are also changing our initial 'cupcake' design somewhat. I felt that the cupcakes just looked like they were stacked to high.... hence the new look cupcakes:-
We anticipate being fairly busy leading up to Christmas but will do our best to stock our store with fun and interesting cupcakes dedicated to the silly season.

Title: We are fnally online!
We intended to launch the Reall Chic website late last year, but due to the owner Rebecka's website design committments, the project was put on hold.
Finally we are here and starting to SLOWLY stock our new store.
Please check back often as your product range will increase as time permits.
All of the products we sell here are proudly created by hand and are Australian made.
Reall Chic's concept was based on the need for Rebecka and Allan to get 'hands on' with their creativity instead of always being in the virtual world of working on websites online.
I do hope that you all enjoy our products as much as we did in making them.
Thanks for reading
