Skinny Dip Candles, Safe for Body and Massage

by

Skinny Dip candles are a candle, massage oil and lotion in one. They use high quality cosmetic grade soy, which is more skin nourishing than the traditional soy wax used in candles. Other luscious skin safe ingredients include cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado butter and vitamin E. skinny dip hand

Their candles are designed to burn only as hot as 101 degrees or about the temperature of a warm bath. After blowing out your candle, you can immediately apply it as a lotion to leave your skin feeling soft and lightly scented. Besides being beneficial to your skin, they’re biodegradable, clean up easy, burn virtually soot free and last longer.

Scents are offered with either fragrance oil or essential oils. Some of their delicious sounding fragrances are:

  1. Ambrosia- a yummy blend of oranges, coconut and peaches.
  2. Angel Food Cake- Soft vanilla with undertones.
  3. Honey Almond – Enough said
  4. Basil Rose – an interesting feminine floral combination.
  5. Jasmine and Sandalwood- Jasmine with undertones of sandalwood.
  6. Mango Papaya- delectable tropical blend.
  7. Chocolate Silk- for chocolate lovers.
  8. Bare Naked- (unscented)

There are 18 scents in total and they also sell bath salts and lip balm that you can purchase in a Skinny Dip Pamper Pack. Their candles all come in a 6 oz. travel friendly tin and are reasonably priced at just 10.95 each.

What’s Next for Joann?

Now that all the Joann stores have closed, a mysterious message has appeared on the company’s website:

For generations, Joann has been honored to be part of your creativity: your quilts, costumes, school projects, and handmade moments of love. It has been our joy to serve markers and dreamers across the country.

We’re stitching up something new behind the scenes and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

Stay tuned for exciting news about the future of Joann.

To quickly recap, Joann filed for bankruptcy in January for the second time in less than a year. In February, in the hope of making the company more attractive to potential buyers, it petitioned the court for permission to close about 500 of its 800 stores. The company was put up for auction, with Gordon Brothers set to buy the company, sell its assets and close all the stores if no other buyer materialized.

In the end the winning bidder was GA Group, but the result was the same: all stores were to be closed by the end of May if not sooner.

Once store closure sales started the company quickly stopped selling on its website, and now all that remains is this jpeg image hinting at new ventures.

I’m sure there will be a tone of speculation in the coming days and weeks (or as long as it takes for them to announce the meaning of the message) as to what sorts of plans Joann could be cooking up.

My theory based on nothing but my gut is that they will transition to an online only storefront, probably with much reduced inventory, sort of like Herrschners (which had previously announced that it will be carrying Big Twist yarn, the beloved private label yarn brand sold at Joann). I also think they will use whatever retail sales they do to support CreativeBug, the digital learning platform that Joann purchased in 2017. That could mean producing kits for projects that already have classes, or developing classes based on products they want to sell, or both.

As of this writing the CreativeBug website seems to still be functional and there’s a full slate of new classes planned for June. I’ve got my eye on both the Joann website and the Joann restructuring website and will let you know as soon as I see changes.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear your speculation as to what the next chapter might be for Joann.
