An Update from Lani's Desk
An Update from Lani’s desk:
Wow what a ride it’s been! We are happy to report that we are making excellent progress in our efforts to catch up after what we affectionately refer to around here as Super Storm Shark Tank! We ended up with an astounding 23,000 orders as a result of the show. (Remember, we were told to prepare for 600-800)
Phenomenal. And daunting. And very much like getting hit with a Tsunami.
We have had every imaginable issue from unforeseeable supply chain hang ups to annoyingly unacceptable delivery issues. Our main priority has been to maintain the high quality of our product despite having to rapidly hire and train new people and produce more product in 2 months than we have in the history of Simple Sugars! We have been frustrated by the fact that despite doing all we can we haven’t been able to provide the level of customer service we previously prided ourselves on, but please know that we are completely committed to getting back to providing unsurpassed service to our customers.
For those of you that hung in there with us and were kind and gracious enough to be patient during this exceptional time, we value you and will guarantee you a MUCH better customer experience going forward. For those who are frustrated, we are honestly doing the best we can under the circumstances and were NEVER out to “scam” or ignore anyone.
Despite all the growing pains, the amazing reviews we’ve received from those of you that are reporting the excellent results you are having make it all worthwhile and very fulfilling for all of us here at Simple Sugars.
Now for the good news, by the end of next week, we will be caught up and ready to begin shipping orders of in-stock products on our regular schedule (within 48 hours). Custom orders and gift packages will go out within a week.
We have learned a lot and have MANY changes and improvements already in the works and on the drawing board. There are more big things ahead for us and we are excited and ready for the challenge!
We hope you will join us for the ride. We look forward to keeping you Smooth for Life
Stay Smooth~

Lani Swims with The Sharks!
Pittsburgh Teen CEO and founder of Simple Sugars to appear on ABC’s “Shark Tank”
March 26, 2013 (Pittsburgh, PA) – Teen Entrepreneur Lani Lazzari will appear on “Shark Tank,” FRIDAY, MARCH 29 (9:01-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
When Lani Lazzari whipped up her first batch of Simple Sugars scrubs at 11 years-old, and subsequently created a successful e-commerce business by 13, little did she know that by the time she was 18 she’d be swimming with the sharks!
On Friday, March 29th Lazzari will appear on ABC’s Shark Tank to pitch her growing business to The Sharks! The top-rated Friday night show gives entrepreneurs a chance to make the big-time by pitching their business idea to a panel of self-made millionaire and billionaire investors. Being the youngest entrepreneur to ever present a solo pitch to the panel didn’t shake Lani a bit, “The whole thing was actually pretty awesome. I wasn’t nervous at all, definitely excited but not nervous. Since selling is part of what I love most about being an entrepreneur, being in front of The Sharks was like making any other sales call – ok, it might have been the biggest sales call of my life – but it was fun!”
So, did The Sharks bite and make her a sweet deal? You’ll have to tune in to find out!
The Sharks in this episode of “Shark Tank” are Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John and Kevin O’Leary.
“Shark Tank” is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC’s selected HDTV format with stereo sound. This program carries a TV-PG parental guideline. For more information on “Shark Tank,” visit ABC.com.
Founded in 2005, Simple Sugars is a manufacturer of all-natural, handmade body, facial and foot scrubs. The company offers a wide range of products and gift packages that make pampering yourself simple! Simple Sugars products are available on the web at www.simplesugarsscrub.com and in retailers in the Pittsburgh area and across the country.
NO-LO!
Get Rid of Your Lotion!
Yes,you heard correctly: we said “get rid of your lotion!” We call it going “NO-LO”.
Now why in the world would we suggest that you ditch your moisturizer in the winter when skin is its driest? Because if you adopt a Simple Sugars all-natural skincare routine you won’t need it! Honestly. Scrub your dryness away in your morning shower and stay super-hydrated and smooth all day long without adding lotion or cream! No lie. It’s easier and saves you time. It’s super cost-effective AND your skin will be smoother and softer than ever before! Try it! It’ll change your life
We're bringin' Chocolate back! And introducing our new scent: Tangerine!
There are some great things about Winter. We just can't think of any! (Yeah, we're not skiers around here...) The shorter, grayer days bring on the winter doldrums and the colder, drier air wreaks havoc on the skin! But no worries people, we've got the fix in the form of two of our most delicious-smelling and mood-lifting all-natural body scrub scents: Chocolate and (NEW!) Tangerine!
We dare you to be in a bad mood after a good scrubbing with one of these! And dry, winter skin? No way. A daily scrub,will keep your skin so soft, supple and smooth that you can ditch the lotion! Sensitive skin sufferers rejoice! Your day has come.
