LIRA PRICING UPDATE
Hey Hey!
Exciting news! All Lira Clinical products at the SSB Studio are permanently 30% off.
Yes, you're reading that right!
While I wholeheartedly believe in the efficacy of Lira Clinical products, the move toward exclusivity and unaffordability in the beauty and self-care industry has not gone unnoticed. This price adjustment is my way of implementing innovative approaches that allow SSB Studio to remain a conscious business, deliberately making choices to ensure accessibility and affordability.
Just a heads upβwhen placing orders on the SSB website, the new prices will not be visible on the Lira Product Request page. This pricing adjustment is an exclusive offer intended solely for SSB Studio clients. Over the next few weeks, I'll be rolling out customized memberships for all of you. Once these are up and running, you'll see those discounts kick in automatically every time you check out.
We're also taking this opportunity to phase out our current rewards system. If you have 120 points or getting close, I'll make it right. Just reach out.
Got questions or need further info? Don't hesitate to reach out directly.
Text is best!

P.S. If you haven't caught my latest IG reel, here's a quick update: I've decided to stop accepting tips at the Studio. Honestly, it was never really my thing, and I'm ready to move on from it.
Introducing Rachelβs Passion Project
As the clock struck midnight on December 31st, 2023, echoing the lines of Semisonic's song, 'Closing Time,' I knew I could not stay at our beloved BodegaποΈ . It was a bittersweet adieu, filled with love, laughter, and perhaps a few too many face masks.
But as the song says, 'Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.' So, hold the tissues! Iβm still here, doing what truly sparks my fireβwhipping up delectable skincare delights without the hustle of running a store. Welcome to Rachel's Passion Project!
Returning to my humble beginnings, I am handcrafting natural and organic skincare, bath, and body luxuries for my local community. Why? Simply because I love to do it.
Want in on these little jars of joy? It's easy! Holler at me, hit my line, or slide into my DMs and tell me you'd like to be added to Rachel's Passion Project exclusive email/text list. I'll add you faster than you can say, 'organic glow.' πΏ
How will you order?
We're going old school with this - you'll receive texts and emails detailing the products I'm crafting . All you have to do is text back your orders. For all the details on pricing, check out our Passion Project Price List HERE. π
I am looking forward to this passion project as a new chapter, sharing my love, passion, and dedication to creating skincare that makes us feel fabulous π. It's a project that's got me super excited and feeling like myself again. So, keep your vibes high and your skincare organically beautiful.
XOXO- Rachel
Feeling nostalgic? Here's a link to Semisonic's 'Closing Time.' Crank up the volume, belt out the lyrics, and bid your own theatrical farewell to our beloved Bodega!
What's Hot, What's Not:
Your SSB Service Menu Update
Hey there, Sunshine! π
We're feeling a bit like a hit song mashup over here at the Studio. On one hand, we've got Boyz II Men crooning "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye" in the background as we prepare to retire some of our lesser-booked services. But flip that record over, and Katrina and The Waves are blasting "Walking on Sunshine" because we're also saying hello to some fabulous new offerings and fan favorites. So let's shuffle into our remix of services that's sure to have you dancing!
π Add-Ons: Your Personal Luxury Touch - Now Even Better!
We've revitalized our Add-On Menu, infusing it with more 'Luxe Touches" we know you'll love! Step into our Zen Zone with soothing scalp massages and deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra sessions. Rejuvenate with nourishing Skin Boosters such as our Hydrating lip and eye treatments and Express Glows for your back and fanny. Plus, we're offering Savvy Savings on services and luscious skincare products. It's all about maximizing your 'me time' and treating yourself to some extra TLC at SSB Studio. Stay tuned as we spotlight these incredible add-ons in the coming weeks! But definitely take a moment to check out the Add-on Menu HERE!
π Vagacial's Out, Waxing + Skincare is In!
Our waxing services are becoming the talk of the town, and it's not by accident. We've been quietly upping our waxing game at the Studio. All of our intimate waxing services now come with skincare elements that are vagacial worthy! Each session starts with our gentle in-house Orange and Rose Hydrolat cleanse, followed by a cocktail of serums, including Lira Pro Lite Serum, Lira Hydra Infusion, Lira Bio Hydra C, and our very own Post Wax Serum. For those who want to level up their skincare game, we've added a Customized Mask add-on and an Ingrown Hair Treatment. So while we're waving goodbye to the Vagacial, we're ushering in an era of unparalleled waxing where skincare takes center stage.
The SSB Studio: Where Waxing Meets Skincare!
β° Last Call For a Few Services
We're all about giving you what you want, which means a bit of housekeeping is in order. Some of our services haven't been feeling the love lately, and if they don't get booked in the next 60 days, we'll have to bid them adieu. This includes the Aromatherapy Facial (Our OG facial from the Symmetry days), The Full Body, Upper Body, Lower Body, and Tummy Glow sessions, plus the Full Monty, Full Upper, and Full Lower bundled waxing services. If you've ever been curious about trying these, now's your chance! While this is definitely bittersweet, the SSB Studio is here to offer only the services you love - nothing more, nothing less.
π Teen Scene: Cooler Than Ever! π
Remember the Teen Facial we introduced over the holidays? We loved it so much that we're letting it stick around on our menu! This 40-minute facial isn't just about making your skin glow (though boy, does it do that brilliantly). It's about educating teenagers about their skin health and teaching them the right skincare habits. Plus, it comes with the Teen Skincare Essentials e-guide - perfect for teens, but adults can pick up a few tips too (wink)! And guess what? Our teen services aren't just limited to facials. We also offer Teen Brow, Underarm, and Bikini services. So, schedule this appointment for your favorite teen and let them bring on that quintessential teen sass - we're ready to match that energy and make your teen look and feel confident!
So, put on your sassiest strut and swing by our studio soon β we can't wait to see you!
Stay Fabulous!

Bewitching Beauty: Halloween Skincare Magic from SSB Studio
Hello, pumpkin! π
As the season of spooks and pumpkin spice lattes takes over, let's make sure the only thing scary this October is your Halloween costume, not your skin!
π Keep Your Skin Boo-tiful with our Skin Renewal Bundle: Our Skin Renewal Bundle, priced at $295, is a sweet treat that will keep your skin glowing even after the Halloween makeup comes off. This 75-90 minute session includes a custom cleanser, Pro Lite or Pro Brite Serum, Bio-Lift or Bio CrΓ¨me, and SPF (Hydrating, Oil-Free, Tint, or Elo Drops: Sheer or Glow). Plus, enjoy a 25% off on any other products you love during your visit.
π Get Ready for SSBβs Scrub Nβ Glow Workshop on October 18, 2023: It's the perfect chance to get inspired and brew up your own sugar scrub and body butter, creating gifts as unique as a jack-o'-lantern's grin. Hurry, spots are disappearing faster than candy from a trick-or-treat bag!
π DIY Spa Day for the Autumn Mystic: Had a little too much Oktoberfest fun? We've got the perfect pick-me-up with our DIY Facial. It's also an excellent way to maintain that glow between facials. Here's how to summon radiant skin:
Cleanse: Start with any Lira Cleanser. Apply it to a dry face, let it set for 1-2 minutes, then gently rinse or remove with a damp washcloth.
Hydrate & Exfoliate: Conjure a blend of equal parts BIO Hydrating Mineral Masque and MYSTIQ iLuminating Polisher. Gently massage into the skin for 1-2 minutes and let it rest for another 10-15 minutes. Remove with a tepid washcloth.
Brighten: Apply PRO Brite-Plus Serum. Give it a moment to sink in and work its magic.
Hydrate: Use BIO Hydra Infusion. Again, allow it a few moments to penetrate your skin.
Restore: Finish with a dollop of BIO Caviar Crème. Give each product about 30 seconds to 1 minute to fully absorb.
* Spa Kits available for $35. DM to have one made just for you!
π» SSB Products - Back from the Dead:

Casting love spells (and fabulous skin vibes) from our cozy corner at SSB Studio,

LIRA
Deal of the season!!
Ever had one of those moments where you feel like all your holidays have come at once? Well, I've got news that will blow your socks off! The LIRA Holiday Kit has just landed and it's like a skincare jackpot!
Here's what is in the Holiday Kit:
BIO Enzyme Cleanser: This gentle gel cleanser is a wizard at removing makeup and surface debris. Perfect for all skin types.
BIO Lift Crème: Imagine having a personalized facial in a jar. This crème is filled with advanced peptides providing intense hydration and firmness. And hey, this beauty alone retails for $104.50!
SPF EliΕDrops 30 Glow: Your skin's new best friend. This waterless SPF is on guard against UVA, UVB, and HEV rays.
BIO Lip Factor: Kiss chapped lips goodbye with this magic mix of rejuvenating peptides and nourishing oils. Perfect pout, here you come!
Trial size PRO Brightening Masque (Gift): Who doesn't love surprises? Especially when they involve papaya & pineapple enzymes and hyaluronic acid!
These goodies would normally cost you $220.10 but hold onto your hats because LIRA is offering them for $149.50. That's a solid deal!
And I can hear you asking, "Can it get any better?" Yes, yes it can! Lira is offering an exclusive limited-time-only special that drops the price even more if I buy four kits.
If four of us commit today, we can drop the price even further to an unbelievable $115 each. That's right - just $115!
I can't emphasize enough what an amazing deal this is. You know the old saying about leading a horse to water? Well, in this case, the horse would be gulping that water down! Seriously, at these prices, I'd suggest stocking up for next year and consider your holiday shopping done!

The SSB BODEGA is Closing
Celebrate Your Beauty with Us One Last Time!
Hey, Ya'll.
With a bit of sadness in my heart, I've had to make some tough decisions recently, and I am closing down the SSB Bodega. The SSB Studio, our Business Incubator, and all the Workshops/Education segments of SSB are still rockin' and rollin'!
Until December 31st, I'll be here whipping up your favorite products like our Organic Body Butter, Organic Sugar Scrub, Botanical Oil, Hydrolat, and Organic Body Oil. All made with 100% natural, organic ingredients, perfect for even the most sensitive skin types. There are significant price reductions across all our products, plus an additional 25% off select products and reduced flat-rate shipping on all orders.
If you plan on stocking up, remember these beauties are fresh and have a shelf life of six months (some up to 12 months) when stored correctly. For any questions about proper storage or anything else, we are just an email or text away via the SSB contact form or (240) 805-0625.
And while we're saying goodbye to this part of SSB, I'm not hanging up my product-making hat for good! Rest assured that my passion for crafting natural, organic products is here to stay! I'll continue to create these skin-loving gems for my personal use, and if you'd like a slice of this goodness, don't hesitate to reach out. I'd be happy to add you to an email/text list and keep you in the loop.
Thanks a bunch for all the love and support you've poured into SSB Bodega. It's been a blast, and we couldn't have done it without you. So, let's make the most of it until the end of the year. Celebrate your beauty with us one last time.
XOXO- Rachel
