TheQueen Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I've been testing bath and body products for quite a while and the feedback from my testers has been positive. Soooooooo, I'm about to launch my small product line locally, nothing spectacular online or anything like that, but I'll be sending samples to everyone I know to get this thing going. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! One of the items that surprised me that has been so well-received is my lip balm. Well, not surprised that folks love it, but surprised that it's the item that gets the most remarks. It's a really simple formulation but the testers have loved it. Actually, all my products have simple formulations that work well. Simple formulations from a simple mind! I've posted my sugar scrub recipe on this forum at least twice, so it's not a deep dark secret at all. Just a nice formulation that folks really like.Anyhoo, thought I'd just throw this out there to encourage others to follow their dreams, too. It has been my dream to have a small business like this to have fun with. I'll never be able to retire on this income, but that's really not the important thing. My wish is to provide a quality product to those around me and have fun doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQueen Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've just released my new website (see my siggie) and I'm so excited. I've already had sales (not from the website but from friends) and I'm rarin' to go! I'll be taking off work tomorrow to do some more formulating as my product line is still very limited.

Di_in_AZ Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Best of luck--I love playing with B&B. Can't see myself ever selling, I don't have the time to invest and haven't perfected anything yet, but it is good to see someone get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQueen Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thanks for your encouragement, both of you. Yes, indeedy, I love playing with the B&B, too. I'm going to retire in three years and I look forward to doing this full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di_in_AZ Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Site is nice, I like flowers and simple--very clean looking. I think you are off to a great start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQueen Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thank you ALL so much for your positive responses. I try to keep things simple since I am such a simpleton! I know what it's like to get bogged down in a website and I didn't want that to happen. And I've been shamelessly plugging it to everyone I know. I hope they don't start avoiding me. . . Anyhoo, thanks! ETA: Any and all constructive criticism is most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
