Scent of Soaps

One of the perks working with Yuan Soap, is the lingering scents you get from the soaps.

1. One of my friends could not remember which corridor leads to our office but sniff to know which one is our office. (true story)

2. I smell of soaps most of the time, which means I smell clean all the time.

3. My car smells like a spa.

4. One of my Taiwanese colleague get compliments each time whenever she is in a lift with a stranger. (alright, some times she gets that)

5. I saved on air fresheners in the office , my car and my washroom.

6. Some of Yuan soap customers buy Yuan soap in bulk to leave them in their wardrobe and car.

(too wasteful, use your soaps girls!)

Have you used Yuan Soap or any other natural soaps other than cleansing your body? Do tell!

Yuan Soap Store

We will be launching our first Yuan soap store in Malaysia. Venue? Central Market!

Okay, not many were excited when I told them about the venue, but please do make your way to CM (Central Market) now. I was surprised with the changes when I went there to check out the store a few months ago. I have not been to CM for ages and the current management has been quietly "cleaning up" the whole place. I saw new tiles, shops and stalls are tidier. And where should we not make our mark but in the baby blue powder building where they promote all things traditional and handmade?!

A friend from Taiwan, who has been visiting Malaysia for the last 10 years were not brought to visit CM at all by her friends! She mentioned CM was just like Jiufen (similar concept like CM but outdoor with great scenery), she was so delighted she bought 8 shawls from different stalls. Ok, maybe she was ignorant not to read any of our tourism pamphlets or surf the net for info, or we as Malaysia has not done enough to promote other places of interest except for KLCC, lol!
Ok, back tot the store, well, I was busy arranging soaps on the shelves but was distracted many times by tourists who asked me what was smell in the shop? Apparently, our nice smelling soaps have been quietly directing people to visit our shop. I have to keep informing passerbys that we are not open yet!

Here are some sneak peek to our new store!

Yuan's talk on youtube

For those who missed Yuan's talk in Ikano, you will find some video links here. It might be a bit shaky in the beginning but gradually it will improved. I found the links in youtube and I am grateful for the person who posted the videos.
