This Little Piggy is Going to Market

A wire Pig basket with our Bacon Soap and Sizzling Soy Bacon candle that sizzles like frying bacon when you light it.   This little oinker is going to kick chicken and beef butt on the market!  This is going to be like the best Father's Day gift ever!

You can see video and listen to our bacon candle on our website http://www.sweetsoaps.com/ it is so cool you have to hear this!  Our Bacon Soap smells like maple syrup not bacon!

Cashing in on Creativity

People are always asking me "How do you think of these things"?  I say "I have no idea it's just happens".  It is obvious that I am a creative person if you spend anytime on my website.  I created all of the products, handcraft them, and designed all of the packaging. I know "How the heck do you do all that?" is what you are thinking.  It is in my DNA, maybe I am a control freak when it comes to my products.  I refuse to manufacture overseas or allow someone else to make my products.  These products are an extension of me and my creative thoughts.  No one else will care as much as me!

I can create ideas out of thin air and do it for any type of business or product.  I am like the kid from "The Sixth Sense" I see dead people I see dead products. I dream about products, I am haunted.

Going to the Gift Shows puts me into a frenzied state of mind.  I am pretty sure some people want to kill smack me when I look at a product line and say "This is great why aren't you marketing it like this?" I can't help myself when I see more potential I must let it out or I might explode.  I honestly enjoy helping people, this is hard for people to take I've noticed.

If you want some methods for cultivating your own creativity here are some tips.
Eat healthy
Get enough sleep
Let your mind wander while performing mundane tasks like driving (stay off the phone)
Keep paper and pen or Blackberry with memo pad available
Walk around a store looking at products for inspiration
Go to a Museum
Watch a beautiful movie
Read a book about something you normally wouldn't
Flip through magazines
Surf the internet
Call up an old friend

Some of these you are thinking, what? My answer YES!
Some cool stuff to rattle your brains:
