The Christmas decorations have been taken down, the last of the leftovers eaten, the tourists are heading back to their various destinations, we're back at work... yes people, the Christmas season is well and truly over. We know January can be a depressing month, so in an effort to keep spirits up, and to let our customers know you mean a lot to us, we're offering 10% off across the board* until January 24th.

We'll also be staging a variety of giveaways and other surprises during the course of the month, so watch this space!

If you've been to any of our events or headed to our concession at L'Espace over the past few months, you'll know that our stock list has been expanded considerably for a while now. For those who haven't been, you might not have realised that we now stock a wide range of new products from Jane Carter Solution, CURLS, Mahogany Naturals as well as a wide range of ayurvedic powders and clays. These are now all available for delivery. Have a look at the price list for more detail.

Expect more from The Kinky Apothecary in 2013

After an awesome launch at L'Espace on Saturday (I got such a rush from the sheer number of new and old faces that stopped by, I can't believe how quickly it all went), just thought I'd let you in on a little more of what we have planned for the year.

For everyone who's been emailing and calling and emailing and calling again ... you know who you are ;) ... we've finally updated the "Shop the Apothecary" tab with our price list unveiling the new products we have for you. We'll do a feature on each of them, but look out for:

• Bee Mine
• Bobeam
• Naturalista Cosmetics
• Neriah Naturals (Made in Nigeria)
• A wider range of the brands we already stock
• A much wider range of tools and accessories
• The "Kinky Apothecary 100% Pure" range - new packaging (of which we're very proud) and a much, much wider selection of carrier and essential oils
• Lower prices, particularly on our oils and butters

In addition to this, you can also expect more brands coming in, some of which are already winging their way on to our shelves; more frequent and varied events, the first of which is scheduled for next month; more bargains and giveaways... 

This is just the tip of the iceberg, so make sure to stay in touch with us and check back often for updates.

Hope to see you all at some point during the course of the year, and be sure to check out the Facebook page later for a preview of the pictures from Saturday.

The Apothecary is about to get a little bit more exciting...

L'Espace, 19a Olosa Street, Victoria Island

Hello all, 

So I think I was suitably cryptic when I mentioned in my last post that I had a number of announcements to make. I think I've kept you waiting long enough now.

So what's been keeping me so busy over the last couple of months, and particularly in the last few weeks, is that The Kinky Apothecary brand is undergoing a bit of a revamp. This includes:

• A modified look for the logo, which we will be revealing at the weekend
• New label designs for our products
• Much more product choice: we have expanded our range considerably
• A much wider variety of carrier and essential oils
• New lower prices on all the oils 

And, finally, the most exciting for us (this one is for the Lagos ladies)...

• We're FINALLY opening our first concession. This Saturday. Whoop whoop!

Yup, you read that right. Yes, we've been talking about opening our shop for ages! Years, even. We've even identified where that shop will be. But this being Nigeria and things unfortunately not always working as they should, we've had delay upon delay. We realised though, that we couldn't keep people waiting for much longer while we sorted out our issues: one of the questions we get asked most frequently is where are shop is located. So after months of trying to get things moving, we've finally signed an agreement with L'Espace, awesome concept space on Olosa Street, VI, by the ladies who brought you LPM.

We launch this Saturday, so from this weekend, you'll be able to head over and pick up your favourite products yourself! (We will still be running a delivery service for anyone who prefers the convenience of ordering from home/their office) 

Details are as follows:

Address: L'Espace, 19a Olosa Street, Off Karimu Kotun, Victoria Island, Lagos
Opening Hours: Monday (CLOSED), Tuesday-Saturday (11am-8pm), Sunday (12-6pm)
L'Espace hotline (for enquiries): 07028028960

Of course I can never let any occasion pass without a celebration of some sort, so join me there this Saturday 19th from 1pm-6pm for the obligatory Kinky Apothecary glass of Champagne!

And just to make it a real celebration, we'll also be throwing in:

• 10% off sales on the day* 
• Free samples
• Free gift for every 10th customer
• Free product consultations**
• Be the first to see and try all our new product ranges
• And last but not least, be the first to see our new logo and packaging

So spread the word, pop round, bring a friend or sister, natural or not.

Again, just a quick word to ALL our wonderful readers, and our customers who keep us so busy. We wouldn't be here without you, and I really am grateful from the bottom of my heart!

Hope to see you all on Saturday.

*This excludes the "Neriah Naturals" product line

**Product consultations must be booked in advance. Please drop me an email at the usual address: kinky.apothecary@gmail.com, and I will slot you in.

NB: To prepare for Saturday, we will not be taking any more phone or email orders for the rest of the week. However, phone and email orders will resume as usual on Monday 21st.
