Launch Day!

I just made it official!  After testing my new product and getting rave reviews, I'm moving forward with my product, Foot Beer.  What is that?  It's an all-natural foot soak that cleanses, detoxifies, exfoliates, kills fungus, relaxes and soothes.  It takes just 20 minutes (longer if you're loving it!) and is added to two quarts of warm water.  Just "Keep Calm and Soak Your Feet"!  

I've been soaking my feet since I was a kid.  Sometimes I'd just sit on the side of the tub with my feet soaking in warm water.  I'm sure this is something I picked up from my mom, but its always been a comforting ritual.  I never really considered the health benefits until I started experiencing severe foot pain and was looking for a way to relieve it.  My old tried-and-true really helped me heal!  I also have severe dry skin due to a thyroid issue and I need to exfoliate on a regular basis.  After months of research and several "batches", Foot Beer was born in my kitchen.  The name happened because of a God-given love of and flair for words.  I just had this catchy phrase trademarked and I'm stepping out on faith y'all!

 Now I just need to quit "soaking up the profits".  My teenage son has gotten in on it and now wants to have a "beer" after his soccer games.  As long as it's just his feet that are drinking, I'm a happy mom, I just need to watch my inventory.  Bottles, labels, caps...I was up until 4a.m. making the first batch that I took out to sell.  I definitely need to streamline the process, especially since I have two other businesses that I'm running from home.  All of this hasn't yet translated into big dollars, but this is what I've always wanted to do, just keep busy by creating, making, designing and decorating.   And to think, it's almost time to plant my flowers too...can it get any better?
