Monkeypoo is now going full time. This is totally exciting for me as I take on what has been a dream of mine for about 10 years. Monkeypoo will be launched into a fully opeartive website complete with shopping cart and traveling to a town near you! Please excuse our mess while we get the website all spiffy and packaging all exciting. Im so excited to expand Monkeypoo into a full time business. I want to thank everyone for their love and support while I take this on! Soap is on racks about to be listed and all kinds of excitement is going on.
Today is my first day working for myself, and I hit the ground running. Current vendors have been contacted and local people who were literally stopping me in the street asking me to go full time have been contacted. Everyone has been so supportive. For years I have built my soap company while trying to hold down a full time job. Too many times, the soap company did really well, and I had to chose between MY company or sitting at a desk typing briefs for someone else. It was always a scary but amazing dream for me to go full time with my company and finally give it the chance it deserves. My soap is amazing. And its mine. And it deserves a chance. Im excited to get my soap out there so people can experience, what has become my baby, my soap recipe! I feel like how Mrs. Fields must have felt when she knew she had THAT cookie recipe.
This friday, Leila over at ingredients supply.com brought me over about 10lbs of coca butter and dinner and drinkage. Im so lucky to have such great people around me and totally excited to get more involved in her company which is selling .. get this.. chocolate and coffee supplies. So, yes, part of the job description over there is to try chocolate and coffee products, and as Leila and I will tell you, that is pretty much our specialty in life, period. lol. If there is one person that knows her good chocolate its her, which is probablyl why we are best of friends. Her company has been supplieing chocolate makers for over 30 years and she certainly knows her chocolate stuff.
At any rate, this is all very exciting and I promise to keep you all updated!
BTW, my new office that is in my bedroom facing the window is FIERCE!
Love, peace and poo
