I've been a fulltime RVer since 1996 but over the last several years, I've been trying to decide how to incorporate my business in my RVing lifestyle.
I have an old trolley that was previously used to sell coffees and pastries out of and I am making some minor alterations so I can live in the trolley along with my soaping and natural bodycare products business. YaY!
I have been using an Esty site to sell products from but just recently launched my own website. I have decide to keep both active, which maybe challenging, in addition to creating my products but we'll see how it goes.
Additionally, craft and art fairs have been my main focus, along with wholesaling to certain accounts. I have managed to become a vendor with the Whole Foods Markets in Arizona where they carry my all natural dog soap, Sham-Pooch and would like to expand to other states but getting into WFM is a very long and arduous "adventure" hopefully it will be worth it in the end.
You can also find my soaps and other bodycare products in various mom & pop stores around the Albuqueruqe are, so if you happen to be visiting please be sure to check my website for their locations and tell them I sent you.
I started this business for several reasons...
I'm a firm believer that everyone should have fabulous skin and everyone's skin should feel fabulous. That something as simple as soap and other bodycare products should be well...simple and unadulterated and luxurious all at the same time.
And I think we should be able to achieve that goal without the use of toxic chemicals, chemicals that not only damage our precious planet but ultimately us too.
Most of my raw materials are made in America and my products are too. I hope you'll take the time to check out either my website... www.louvieve.com or my Etsy site...www.etsy.com/shop/Louvieve and drop me a line and let me know what you think.
