For those of you who buy “non-toxic” perfume and beauty, what does that mean for you? For me, non-toxic means they follow the IFRA and safety guidelines, but that applies to the vast majority of perfumes.

Yes, the tariffs are still here and still active. Yes, including what are pretty much the same as the illegal IEEPA tariffs. No, I don’t expect to be refunded for them ever 😭 For me, it’s about 40-60% of the original cost of goods, but it can be up to 100% for others.

Today I got an order from someone who lives very close to where I lived as a baby. Perhaps even the same street I lived on! Which is crazy because there are only like 10 houses out there. When you live in rural towns all your life you always wonder if people know you/your family lol

Wow! We sold out of Strawberry Milk Cake within a few hours! But stay tuned because I might have a couple extra bottles! I generally like to keep some perfume as a buffer just in case the gram to ml conversion is off!

Both versions of Strawberry Milk Cake have 0 in stock

The strawberry note specifically comes off as more fresh to me, but some others say it smells sugary. The whole perfume is very gourmand. I would say the top is more rich and buttery than sweet but the middle and base notes are sweet and creamy!

Wasn’t even a protest. It was a small group of people documenting ICE actions. They got pissy and started beating a woman over it, like always

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

I’m upset that yet another platform I’ve dedicated so much time to is sinking before my eyes. I have very few places to go that aren’t teeming with bullshit. I hope something else comes along but I doubt anything will ever be free again.

I’ve posted several videos to TikTok today. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but nothing I’ve posted has been published publicly. I hope it’s a coincidence that this all happened after I posted a video about the ICE murders in Minnesota, but it seems like everyone else is posting fine.

Reports from Minnesotans are saying ICE is going door to door and asking for ID and asking neighbors to implicate their neighbors based on race. Ive tried making videos about it but I can’t talk about it without crying. Im so scared for my family and everyone in america.

My husband is still sick and we’re getting a diagnosis now. I feel like I will probably be sick too soon, so I’ll try to do as much as I can today and fill orders so you guys don’t have to wait!

Working on Strawberry Milk Cake and starting to like what I’ve got. I don’t think the name of the perfume will be Strawberry Milk Cake though lol I have a few things I want to pay tribute to. Here are the notes thus far:

Strawberry Milk Cake Notes

Sugar glazed strawberries
Chantilly cream
Condensed milk
Vanilla pound cake
Sweet skin musk

TikTok gives you estimates for how much you’ll earn everytime you go live and mine just shows “$0.01” lmao Thanks but I gave up making money on TikTok long ago

I want to invest in making some solid perfumes as (under the right conditions) I could ship them internationally. The biggest issue with this would be temperature control. I wouldn’t want customers to get melted, messy jars of wax and oil. Anyone have experience with shipping similar things?

We will be fulfilling the preorders within the next couple of days! It was slightly delayed due to production issues with the boxes. There are more details on TikTok. All orders should be sent out this week!

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Our old bottles will be $55 and our new ones with custom packaging designed by me will be $65. A more detailed explanation of all of this will be in the email im working on now. In short, the price increases are mostly tied to tariffs and minorly tied to my increased COL in Washington.

We will be launching for PRE ORDERS of our original bottles on MONDAY! Sorry for the delayed notice. I made some quick TikToks and have been struggling to make the email I’ve been meaning to send to everyone. Web coding is hard 😩 Our new bottles will start preorders on September 1st!

When I was in college for professional writing, my professor told me I use way too many commas and recommended I make more use of em dashes and semicolons. Not to say I always take that advice, but I try! Now with AI, punctuation like that is labeled suspicious 😩

Zigpoll is doing some really weird stuff and idk why. They seem to be changing my logic rules based on who accesses the survey and it’s causing loops in random places. I’m remaking the survey on Google Forms 😅

My husband has OCD and for the past couple weeks it’s been very bad and focused on the house, so a pretty unavoidable topic lol That’s why I haven’t been making any videos or doing lives. We got a new buyer that he seems to feel is not evil or spying on us so fingers crossed 😅

We just got our offer accepted! Closing was pushed back to the end of July to give us some time. So maybe mid to late August for reopening!

I can’t believe it. Our wonderful corgi, Ducky, died this morning. It happened so soon before we woke up. We were just a few minutes too late…

Since we sold out of almost everything in just a couple of days, I’ve updated the terms of Hoshi Gatothon! $5 from every sample set sold in June (yes, even before today!) will be split amongst the 3 charities. And we will donate $100 to each charity!

Oh no! I do have samples left but yeah it sold out pretty fast 😅

Hoshi Gatothon Day 1 was a huge success! I almost sold out of everything but then I realized I had some more Death of a Strawberry and The Recluse to bottle. So we have those two and some Frooty left!

All donations will be donated at the end of June, and again when I shut down just in case this lasts longer! Proof will be on this page: hoshigato.com/blogs/news/h... Pick your fragrances! Currently you can only get one with the extra discount per donation item in the cart. I'm trying to fix this.

How it works! - All orders will receive a base discount of 15% for 30ml and 25% for 50ml - To get the extra discount, pick a charity from our Donations collection on the home page! - All donations will receive a discount, but there are options to donate more if you like!

Hoshi Gatothon is our first ever donation discount event! I plan to do this every year. However, this year is special because I'm also having a liquidation sale! I will be moving very soon and want to get rid of as many perfumes as possible!

Why the sudden sale? My husband just got a job offer over the weekend and we will be moving! Since I really don't want to risk my perfumes breaking or spilling in the moving vans, I'm trying to get ri...

I typically put out 3 bottles at a time but I sold 3 bottles of Beachy Peach within an hour! Might have to increase how much of my stock I put out at one time 🤔
