Lip Balm Sales!

Last night was the first time I went out in public to sell my organic lip balm. I customized the label for my friend's band, Lionz of Zion. They were playing a show with three other bands. I had previously given my friend, Brian, a batch of L.o.Z lip balm and it has been selling really well! But, they really wanted me to come out and "hustle" my product. It makes sense though. Guys trying to sell lip balm=weirdness lol. I sold 11 tubes! Not too bad for the first time being out. Here's a few pics of the custom labeled lip balm:



































I have made a mental note to add "handmade" to my signs next time. People that I talked to about my lip balm didn't realize I actually MADE it. I suppose they just thought I re-labeled some other companies lip balm. Once people realized I actually made it, they were really impressed! It made me feel good :)

On another note, I was trying to get a part time job to help finance Silver Fox Organics. I've been through the entire interview process, including; drug testing and fingerprinting. I talked to the manager Monday and he made it sound like I would know something this week. So, I've been expecting a call all week. Well, this morning I wake up (well, it was nearly noon. I was out late last night promoting my product so I didn't get to bed until late.) and I had a missed call from that job. They didn't leave a voicemail though and I can't get in touch with the manager. It's kind of stressing me out and making me nervous/anxious. I feel like because I didn't answer my phone, I lost the job opportunity. /Sigh. I really hope not.

I finally got in some sample labels for my lip balm. I had ordered some a while back but they never showed up. We re-ordered them and of course they showed up the DAY AFTER I labeled 62 tubes lol. It it's incredibly time consuming. I have to print them on regular computer paper, cut them out, and then cut a piece of tape, lay over the label, attach the tape on top of the label (making sure it's straight, no fuzz snuck in, etc) and then attach it to the tube. Yeah, that takes a while! I'm excited to try these labels though.

Well, that's all for now. I need to go take some photos of the batch I made last night. I like those labels more. Plus, I made a new UNflavor! It's funny. I made it so it would appeal to guys, but none of it sold! Hah!

I'm sitting here drinking a cup of Organic Green Tea with a splash of Almond Milk trying to boost my immune system. I've had this awful sinus pressure/congestion for nearly three weeks now. I've never had allergies and I rarely get sick. I'm stumped as to what is going on. I just did the Neti Pot with a homemade solution of sea salt, baking soda, and a drop of Organic Tee Tree Oil. It didn't seem to make a different. I still can't breathe through my nose. It's driving me crazy. Tomorrow I'm going to start adding a couple of teaspoons of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to my water (I carry a stainless steel water bottle with me everywhere I go) to see if that helps. It is said that ACV will clear up any allergies that you may have. I've drank it before just for the health benefits so the taste won't be a shocker to me like it is for some people.

On another note, my Silver Fox Organics Lip Balm is getting a bunch of views on Etsy. I've only had the Etsy shop open for a week, and I'm still trying to getting the hang of it. You can view my shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/SilverFoxOrganics

Here's a little history about Silver Fox Organics. I started it a few months ago because I am a lip balm-aholic! Haha! Really, I wear it year round. I wanted to create a lip balm that was smooth and that had as many organic and natural ingredients that I could find. So far, my lip balms only have three ingredients in them and I intend to keep it that way. They go on so smooth and last longer than any other lip balm that I have ever owned. I wanted to provide people with an organic lip balm that they could feel good about buying.



I'm still working on my photography skills :)

Time to go read a little before bed :)
