2011 Citroen DS

The return of the DS is one of the more anticipated events at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, where the manufacturer Citroën is planning a slew of DS cars, mainly to rival the Audi.
The release of the 2011 Citroen DS is in line with the company’s 90th anniversary celebration this month.

The DS brings back memories way back 1950 when the name was first used until the 1970’s. The DS3 is set to be unveiled by early 2010, roomier that the C4, it’s a mix of a sedan and a hatchback. Direct rivals in style and class are the Audi A3 and the Alfa Romeo 149. Then here comes the DS4, a bit bigger than the DS3, after which the launch of the DS5 set against luxury vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz E-class, BMW 5 Series and the A6/ A7 Audi.

This sets the stage for the company’s push to become a French luxury brand by utilizing its experience of 90 years of quality, excellence and innovation in the car manufacturing industry. And as the demand for smaller cars arises Citroën is poised to establish itself as “want” rather than “need” item, making it a must have accessory for the select few

Batty's Facial Skin Care Regiment for a Clean Clear Complexion

Have you heard of Patchouli Essential Oil? If not, today is your lucky day! If you've had problem with breakouts since you were a teenager like me.. and tried a 101 different creams and lotions to try to keep your skin under control with little success... I just might become your new "BFF" after you try my Patchouli Facial Moisturizer! It's handmade especially for sensitive and problem skin. Most people with acne have skin that will react and break out to a number of different things - everything from changing soap, to not moisturizing enough, to getting too sun.. and the list goes on and on. I have sensitive skin that will break out at the drop of a hat but since switch to handmade shea butter soap and using my Patchouli Facial Moisturizer my skin has looked the best it has in over 20 years! .. for those of you who are counting, that would be since I was 8 years old!

Patchouli Essential Oil is known for it's unique ability to combat skin irritations, acne and inflammation which is exactly why I use it in my facial moisturizer. If you've tried everything else and are close to loosing hope about ever having smooth, clear skin, please try my skin care regiment for problem skin: before bed, wash with Shea Butter Facial Soap and then apply my Patchouli Facial Moisturizer. I saw results the very next morning and I couldn't have been happier! As I predicted, with the right blend of skin loving ingredients, my face felt clean, hydrated and finally stopped breaking out!

If saying goodbye to problem skin doesn't make Monday a little bit easier to deal with, I don't know what will! haha. Have a great week everyone!

Batty's Answer to The Etsy Forum Question: How Do You Get Sales?

battysbath says: I spend a lot of time in 3 different areas (outside of creating that is)

1 - promoting/networking/chatting/advertising - i use facebook, twitter, plurk, thumblr, blogger, flickr, stumble upon, project wonderful, yammi, craft juice, craft gawker, mailing list, etsy forums, and a few off etsy forums

2 - tweaking! i'm consistently tweaking my tags, photos, and descriptions. this involves researching SEO, retaking pictures, and looking up keywords in google analytics

3 - offline - i learned from my first etsy shop that putting all your eggs in the etsy basket isn't always the best idea. i'm working on booking a craft show or home show each and every weekend. right now i have almost every weekend for the next 9 weeks booked.


.. i hope that helps :)
