New Christmas Poem

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.

I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.

I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.

NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.

WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.

FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.

THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.

THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.

WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?

I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.

SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.

THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.

I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.

THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.

THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
'SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;

I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY! COUNTRY, MY CORPS.'

THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.

I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.

THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, 'CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.'

ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
'MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,!
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.'

This poem was written by a Marine.

The following is his request. I think it is reasonable.

PLEASE. Would you do me the kind favor of sending
this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities.

Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this small seed.

PASS THIS ON AND

"GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR TROOPS"

day FIVE without electricity - I'm logged in on my MIL's laptop with broadband. PLEASE be patient with me - I've worked some today on orders that I can see to fill, but light is limited in the shop at the moment. Hopefully, we will be back to normal by the end of the week. Cold showers and quick baths in a bucket are NOT fun. My 8yr old is having fun tho - he & DH bathed in the COLD creek last night, ha. No thanks - I'm not in the mood for an abrasive scrub of creek sand bath ...

Well, I'm off ...take care everyone & I will be back SOON!!!

HUGS,
Stacy :)

Ike Update!

Hey there guys! I spoke with Stacy last night and they're all safe and sound. Still no power, but they're all doing okay. Her home and her shop are UNdamaged! Yeah! She's got lots of trees in her neck of the woods, and alot of them fell, but they just knew not to fall on things that are offlimits! She did speak to a service guy for her electric company when they were out checking the lines, and they're expecting power to be restored shortly because there was no damage to their substation and the main lines running through to her area.

We'll keep updating as necessary until she's back up and running!

Steph

Update

I'm at my MIL's and she has broadband ... hmm ... think I will look into that, too. Just wanted to give you all an update on Hurricane Ike ... he rolled in around 3:00 am this morning -our electricity went out 10 minutes till 7:00 am and it will no doubt be off for days. Many, many trees down throughout our community, but we are all safe and okay. Thankfully we did not have any damage to any of our homes.

I will try to post updates as much as I possibly can ... talk to you all soon!

Soggy & wet,
Stacy

URGENT! HURRICANE IKE!!

Hi Friends!

Boy oh boy! What a way to start the day,eh? I feel like a broken record at the moment. Once again ... we are under a weather advisory at this time - Hurricane "Ike" is headed straight to Texas! We are going to be working orders up until the storm hits us. We are preparing for the storm, but will not be evacuating. Forecasters are estimating that my area (Lake Livingston) will most likey be hit with up to 90 mph winds. Lovely, just lovely.

We may be without electricity so we have stockpiled gasoline and prepped the generator. If this hurricane hits like Hurricane Rita a few years back, we will be without electricity for at least a week or longer.

(fyi - we are 60 miles north of Houston - we are pretty close to the Gulf so we get a lot of the crazy weather!)

Please keep us in your thoughts! All we can do now is PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Pray hard that this hurricane fizzles out!

Of course, our website is open and still working... I will be working.

So, if you do not hear from me ... this is why! Bad weather = no electricty!

For all the folks in the path of the storm - STAY SAFE!

Thank you!

Stacy & the Day-Star Crew

Whew, looks like we missed it! Thank goodness! We only had a small amount of rain and a little wind, but that is all. My poor friends over Louisiana didn't manage so well. :( Stephanie of Nature's Cauldron is out of electricity, but the family & their health are both okay.

It looks like "Ike" is heading straight towards us ... he should be here by the end of this week. I am SO ready for hurricane season to be over!!

Stacy

HURRICANE GUSTAV!

Hi Friends!

It seems that I just posted this same urgent message a few weeks ago! Ah, living in the Gulf Coast Region and Hurricane Season = what a mess!

We are under a weather advisory at this time - Hurricane "GUSTAV" is headed our way! We are going to be working orders up until the storm hits us. We are preparing for the storm, but will not be evacuating.

We may be without electricity so we have stockpiled gasoline and prepped the generator.

(fyi - we are 60 miles north of Houston - we are pretty close to the Gulf so we get a lot of the crazy weather!)

Please keep us in your thoughts! I am praying that we won't have any damaging winds to knock our electricity out, but with these crazy storms you just never know!

So, if you do not hear from me ... this is why! Bad weather = no electricty!

For all the folks in the path of the storm - STAY SAFE!

Thank you!
Stacy & the Day-Star Crew

Please email Stacy with any questions or comments – info@daystarsupplies.com

COMPLAINTS & SUCH

COMPLAINTS & SUCH

I was perusing the message boards and ran across a thread about our newest Lushies fragrance oils. I usually just sit back and do not chime in on the threads, but this particular comment really rubbed me the wrong way. I won’t reply to the thread in question ~ that will just be a train wreck in the making and will end up deleted.

Some think that we are charging “more” for these Lushies due to their popularity. I BEG TO DIFFER. That is completely unjust & flat out rude to even consider such a thing!

First of all, I offer strongly concentrated fragrances. I could offer you less expensive oil, but it won’t be as good. I pride myself in offering STRONG, top-quality fragrances. We all want top quality, but you’re not going to get it cheap. Yes, I will admit – we do have pricier oils than other places around, but like I said before top quality isn’t cheap.

Yes, I know, I know... we can't please everyone, but we do try!

As you are aware, the cost of consumer products is increasing daily. The fragrance industry is no different, and it is currently being affected by increases of raw ingredients. We have absorbed other price increases in the past and will continue to strive to offer the most competitive pricing available for the top-notch fragrance quality that you receive from us.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about: one particular manufacturer that we use has increased our pricing by 10 PERCENT within the LAST TWO MONTHS. No, we have NOT passed this increase onto our customers ~ we are doing our very best to absorb any and all increases. YES, you read that correctly an increase of TEN PERCENT!

In instances such as this, we are forced to increase our Sampler Pack pricing and re-evaluate several of our exclusive duplication sample prices. By re-evaluating the pricing tier, we have implemented the new Sampler Packs to accommodate those particular fragrances and to help you save a little money by ordering in a pack.

We do want to stress that we are NOT INCREASING OUR PRICES across the board or anything that drastic.

I am sure that this post will get me blasted for saying all this, but I would like to set the record straight here and now. So, what better place to do so than our blog?

Thanks to those of you that understand!

Have a great evening,

Stacy & the Day-Star Crew

URGENT! TROPICAL STORM ALERT!!

URGENT!
TROPICAL STORM ALERT!
www.DayStarSupplies.com

Good Monday Morning!

We are under a weather advisory at this time - Tropical Storm "Edouard" is headed in our path. We are going to be working orders today & preparing for the storm. We are on the northeast side of this storm once it hits land so we expect to have high winds and rain. We may be without electricity so we are stockpiling our gasoline and pulling out the generator. Here is a link to read about this quick storm: Edouard

(fyi - we are 60 miles north of Houston - we are pretty close to the Gulf so we get a lot of the crazy weather!)

Please keep us in your thoughts! I am praying that we won't have any damaging winds to knock our electricity out, but with these crazy storms you just never know!

So, if you do not hear from me ... this is why! Bad weather = no electricty!

I hope everyone has a great week! For all the folks in the path of the storm - STAY SAFE!

Thank you!
Stacy & the Day-Star Crew

STATUS OF BUSINESS!!

Day-Star Candle & Soap Supply, llc is STILL ALIVE! We are NOT "gone out of business" ~ I am not sure what is being said, but a couple of concerned & loyal customers have emailed me. (To be honest, I really do not even want to go there as to what is being said ... I just want to clear the air.) We are still here & busy working on getting our orders out within a 2-3 day time Period.

IF we do not answer the telephone - we are in the shop, please leave a message & we will return the call AS SOON AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

I cannot stress enough that the ABSOLUTE BEST way to contact me is via an email! I can reply to an email at ANY TIME of the day or late night. INFO@DAYSTARSUPPLIES.COM

IF you do NOT receive a return email, please try again because sometimes gmail.com seems to think that it should be sent to my SPAM FOLDER!! If all else fails, email both: INFO@DAYSTARSUPPLIES.COM && STACYLYNNHERROD@YAHOO.COM

I want to assure you: business is keeping me VERY, VERY BUSY - BUT, I am the ONE & ONLY of Day-Star so I am doing it all & keeping it all together ON TIME. As a matter of fact, I am not even taking my scheduled vacation because I do NOT have the spare time to do so. The sandy beaches will have to wait, lol.

I hope this has cleared up any unresolved thoughts or issues that you may have had.

Thank you,

EASTER SAVINGS!

Happy Easter Weekend!!


"In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightening, and his raiment white as snow:

And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come; see the place where the Lord lay.

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me."
Matthew 28:1-10

Praise God! He is Risen!!

Gatherings and Such

A big THANK YOU goes out to Barbara over at the Dish for her supportive PM.

I want to take a moment to let each of you know that I did not have any idea of the situation that is taking place. I receive so many requests for sponsorships & such for the many different state gatherings that I try to help out if possible. Lesson learned. With that said, I will try to keep up with the Dish a bit better ~ it just gets too fast for me tho at times, lol.

I do try to pop in as much as possible here at the Dish, but I try to steer clear of any sitcky situations. And, this is clearly a very sticky situation.

I do not endorse nor do I get involved with shady business ethics. II appreciate my customers and value my reputation. If you ever have an issue, PLEASE email or PM me. I seem to be out of the loop so to speak when it comes to these situations.

I sincerely hope this has shed some light here for you all. I did send an email to the person (see below):

dated 02/21/08

Dear ****,

After recent events, I would like for you to remove my company name from your vendor list. I am not certain what is taking place, but I would prefer to not be involved at this time. I prefer to stay on neutral ground. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

Sincerely,
Stacy Herrod

Day-Star Cande & Soap Supply, llc will NOT be involved in way, shape, or form with this particular gathering.

Now, I'm off to walk the treadmill before this morning gets away from me!
Thank you for your time & reading this,
Stacy

DON'T FORGET!!

I am always here open for fragrance suggestions! Are you looking for something with no results? Email me! info @ daystarsupplies.com and I will work on it, too!

Diethyl Phthalates (DEP)

I originally posted the following message to the blog back in November 2007 -- I will be listing the fragrances that contain DEP on the blog this week. Thank you all for your patience!
Stacy :)
===================

On a serious note, I've received many emails questioning our fragrance ingredients ... specifically about Diethyl Phthalate (DEP). In regards to DEP, please visit the following links to read concerning "Diethyl Phthalate":

Per our manufactuer: "It has been proven to be the only phthalate that is safe for use in fragrance products. DEP got a bad rep in the press 5 years ago due to association and people failed to follow up on the science afterwards. So there is still some buzz about DEP but it’s been proven to be safe."
