Hi y'all,
 

I hope this summer season has been kind to you and yours.

With summer slowly coming to an end, I'd like to point out that we have numerous floral and fruity candles and bar soaps that are authentically rock-n-roll inspired and certified groovy. In particular, we debuted our delightful Sugar Magnolia candle earlier in the season as well as Here Comes the Sun and other scents great for everyday use. I'm super proud to have all of our products titled after classic hits of the sixties and seventies, some with a play on words such as Bohemian Raspberry (Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen), More Than a Peeling (More Than a Feeling - Boston), Tangled Up in Blueberry (Tangled Up in Blue - Bob Dylan) etc. We also just RESTOCKED our collection of body lotions that are now available in All You Need is Lavender, Peach of My Heart and Unchained Melon-y. This continues to be  such an enjoyable creative process and what I intended for the line when I started this little--but mighty--initiative. I hope you will learn a bit of musical history with each candle or be inspired to be the star of the shower as you sing and lather up with our bar soaps. Be sure to take advantage of our Back-to-School offer included below!

For those in the Middle Tennessee area, we have an upcoming market:
Saturday, 8/7  --  Good Friends Music Festival,  Manchester, TN

"HERE COMES THE SUN" - THE BEATLES
"and I say it's all right..."
Scent: Lemon Verbena
Burn Time: 50+ Hours
 

Celebrated as the best-selling musicians of all time with a near billion records sold, The Beatles--John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr--were the next musical sensation across the globe after Elvis Presley. Often dubbed "The Fab Four," they went from playing skiffle beats in Liverpool to becoming major pioneers in the evolution of rock and roll. Like "The King", The Beatles won the hearts of America with their debut appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 and spearheaded the music industry's first 'British Invasion". The Beatles' popularity flooded into a sea of fan hysteria known as "Beatlemania". With Lennon/McCartney infamously battling songwriting recognition, it might come as a surprise that "Here Comes the Sun" was written by Harrison (in Eric Clapton's home garden on the brink of Spring) providing the band this optimistic tune for the Abbey Road album and evidently the most popular non-single release from their to epic catalog.

LEO of SARASOTA, FL
Supporting Animal Welfare with 10% of Sales

Allow me to introduce to you a very special boy... meet six year old Siberian Husky/Akita mix, Leo! Leo belongs to a longtime childhood friend of mine, Juliana Bugatti, who I've know since I was 5 years old. Leo is currently recovering from a traumatic experience involving the accidental ingestion of an entire bottle of Vitamin D he grabbed off the kitchen counter. Juliana's sweet boy is her pride and joy, fur-child, and Registered Emotional Support Animal. Vitamin D taken in high levels is extremely toxic to dogs and can cause kidney failure. Leo was rushed to the ER where they were unable to successfully induce vomiting. he was fed activated charcoal to bind whatever was left in his stomach and hopefully avoid further organ damage. He is now somewhat stable, on medication, and a special bland diet, however, Juliana had to take Leo back to the vet every 24 hours for the next four days to recheck his bloodwork and make sure his kidneys remained healthy.
He's also been diagnosed Pannus, an immune-mediated condition affecting the cornea or clear part of his eyes. His treatment involves daily eye drops in which are $180/month and last strictly for the month. Treatment won’t cure Leo's condition, but it will slow the progression of losing his vision. The eye drops might possibly halt/reverse some of the vision changes… but without treatment Leo will eventually go blind.We are happy to share that Leo is finally home and slowly returning to his goofy, smiley self from the overdosing incident, but the coverage of medical bills and future medical bills for his eyesight are hefty and continue to accumulate. Please consider contributing to Juliana and making a difference in Leo's medical journey by purchasing any item(s) from our shop! Visit www.thegroovygoatco.com today to positively impact their lives. A candle for your best friend or treating yourself to a bar trio of soap has the potential to go a long way. My personal goal is to raise enough funds to help buy a month or two of eye drops for Leo!
