I get all my little travel size items completely FREE from SAVE CREATIVELY. C O M
Haven't had to buy any travel toothpastes, deodorant,shampoo or shaving creams.
I started my own mural and faux painting business 32 years ago and it is still going strong. As a result of all the questions I was asked by artists wanting to start their own business in this genre, I wrote How to Start a Faux Painting or Mural Business which just went into a 2nd Edition. It is thrilling to come up with a concept, work hard and see your efforts rewarded. I wish all the new entrepreneurs out there a very successful 2011!!!
If I read the article right, they started this business so women could look their best when traveling. I think starting their own business is great! But from the women I see traveling and out any place else in public they tell the public they don't care how they look. I would be ashamed to go out in public with my hair half combed, clothes that look like they picked them up off the floor from the night before. What is wrong with women...and men that have no pride in how they look? If you don't care how you look, please be kind to the rest of us that have to look at you and think you are coming off an all night drunk!!!JMO
Mark....This is an ugly thing to say about these 2 women, It also shows to all the readers that you have no respect for women when you call them these names. How would you feel if some one referred to your mother as a B...I don't think you would like it....but then again, you probably don't have any respect for her either!!
Why not just put the stuff you already have in 3oz bottles. Thats what me and my wife do instead of buying expensive things in small bottles. DUH
the problem with people like u is that JEALOUSY TAKES OVER WHEN SOME ONE DOES SOMETHING THAT MAKE THEM PROUD DO U THINK EVERYONE IS GONNA GO THAT ROUTE OHH PLEASE I SALUTE YOU TOO GIRL FOR DOING SOME THING THAT U LOVE
You are correct, I also just buy small bottles and put my regular size products into them....money saved!
Go Girls!
Great ideas and I commend you for your efforts. Just remember there are mean people, tight wads, and someone who always put others down. Ignore them! There are many good people left in this world who will buy your products. Be fair with your customers and remember God in everything you do. Good luck with your new business!!
I TOTally agree put god first in everything
