Loved this video babe !!! Yes can you pls do a more in depth video about body care lipgloss skincare etc. like where to get it from , what all you need to start, and how/where to get customized stickers and packaging from etc. please 🥰💗💗

Thank you for being so real, honest and humble… Best of luck 😊

Thank you a million times over for sharing... you have helped me out so much with figuring so much out. God Bless you and your family... Peace & Blessings Queen

Thank you for this video. I have been trying to start my own skincare line since the end of 2020 but didn’t know where to start. You reinsured me with the thought in mind “Girl just do it” and see where it takes you from there.

I love your videos 💞 & yess would love to see more videos of your Routine or what you need to start body care/skincare business. I’m currently in the process or starting mines & your videos help a lot girl! 💞 Very inspiring.

This is so inspiring and motivating! I been purchased things to start my business but I haven’t been motivated at all! I’m from OH also so I knew exactly what storm you were talking about! 😂 Thank you!

I was searching on how to start a body care line and I've found this video , I loved it and learned valuable lessons from it and subscribed to your channel, I'm from Sudan and kinda have pretty similar financial situation to yours when you first started your business ..a year from now I'll come back and comment in this video to tell you how much I've grown . And I love you so much you're brave and strong you have fighted for your life and your sun , you're inspiring me and others to keep going and keep hoping and dreaming and not giving up and keep loving life no matter what and to love unconditionally and sacrifice for your family, your such a great mom and wonderfulperson...I hope you and your son stay safe and happy and I wish you all the best 👍..I'm sure your sun is proud if you and he will be prouder the more he grows and know how much you did for him being young girl ,single mom and responsible giving all your time for your sun and work ......cuz some parents aren't that strength and responsibility, so people can't do it Sorry for my English, and I'm sorry If I've sayed something that bothers you , I mean nothing , I just wanted to show my respect .

Ty for sharing, I bought a lot of your body butters and I love it 😍

I like that you started off telling us what we're NOT going to do 🔥

Definitely need a more in depth video for a body care business!!!!

Everyone always saying they started with less than 100$ but how? You have to get a business license and setup e-commerce and everything else so how 👀🙄

Perfect video!! Thank you for sharing your blueprint. 🙏💎

You are brave and inspirational ❤ 🙌 thank you for sharing

girl… this made me tear up. i’ve wanted to start my own cosmetics and body care business since 2020, but when covid came about, all the money i saved to start had to go towards bills :( fast forward to the present day, i am a mom now, and i am pretty much broke. life hasn’t been especially easy for me, i’m not even living in my own place right now. but when i talk to my bf about it, he supports me. he tells me it’ll get better. but i’m a perfectionist, i’ve been waiting until “the moment is right” so that i can brand the way i want, but you’re helping me realize you have to make the moment “right” your transparency is top tier 💓 thank you so so so much for inspiring me to just go for it. when i make it big you are def getting a shout out 😂♥️ much love 🥰✨

Perfect business inspiration video. Thx u kindly

Can you share your vendor list? Maybe make a video of where you buy your supplies for each part of your business ie jars, raw products, labels etc

Thanks for your story, I am motivated again to make my small business on the go,I am not selling that much since just last year i made my online business which is with the Big cartel app too! I don't know what kind of strategy i could do more, I am also a mom but with 4 kids! That's why i really need to do something while I'm just home! Omg I hope i could get some customers too like you do!.. I'm inspired by you! Greetings from Austria!

Love your videos gurlllll

Congrats on your success! Can you do a video on how to set up your Shopify account. Also, as a business owner how do you write your labels if you need a return address? Is a P.O. Box address required even if a business doesn’t accept returns

i love all your advise , i was wondering if you can do a video of how you take pictures and how you edit them to post on instagram?

yes can u plsss make the scrubs video🥰🥰

Hi lovely congrats 🎉 so proud of you I love when young girls have there head on 🙏🌹💝 , and a question where do you get your labels made .

Thanks for all your insight. Congratulations and Blessings.

Love this video! I’m a barber looking to open a men’s skincare line. I just started my RU-vid journey, I feel we are similar people, especially the way we handle our businesses. The whole time I was watching this I just love your energy! I wish you the most success❤

Hi!

Hunny, I love your brand. My fav body buttter is lavendar&vanilla and the unscented. I happy that you actually have something for ppl that have eczema. I am in the process of rebranding my bodycare business and i was wondering if you can make video on customized boxes?

Can you please do a more in depth video on starting a body care business. Thank you

Hi I really enjoyed your works,your so beautiful you know ? I love your skin color 😍

You’re so cute 😂😂 we are not gonna talk about my hair or lashes. You’re still gorgeous

Thank you so much for this video. God bless you.

I just found your channel and love this type of content!! If you were not offering skincare, then would you go ahead and still recommend doing drop-shipping from Alibaba for example? 🌸🌸🌸

Nice video. You are an inspiration. I just subscribed 👌 Question! What is the name of the website you used the first time? Not the shopify.

i have some questions: where do you buy all the staffs: empty recipients, ingredients, labels, boxes for sending the orders? What certifications we need in order to create and sell lipgloses, scrumbs for body etc. ? where we can find some recipes for making products, courses etc?

Do you have a professional accountant handling your taxes? Would love to see things surrounding the tidbits of what tax preparers say in regards to preparing and staying organized when filing business taxes throughout the year. Thx

I love the colorful containers. Where did you purchase them . I have been looking all over for like a bluish color

Yessss my car was stuck too 🥴 I hate it here in cle

Where do you purchase your oils that go into your products??

Great Video🥰 I'm from NE Ohio ; I know the struggle 😫

Love this 🔥💚

Hey! Congratulations, really inspiring story! Just as a heads-up - the link to the website where we can shop is not working. Greetings from Germany!

Love your videos. If I may ask for a person just starting out with let’s say body scrub, oil and butter, how many scents should you start out with in the beginning?

good morning! I just happen to find you ,scrolling on... you tube! so glad I did! I have a question about Insurance and liability coverage! I want to sell my stuff! and I want make a profit, but wondering how to cover ourselves with insurance? I am afraid someone might have an allergic reaction or something and I need to know I am covered.. what do you recommend, suggest?

How did you find the perfect recipe for your scrubs and butters?

Did we work together in the Cleveland/Parma area like 15 years ago 🧐 I'm starting my own line and stumbled on your videos! Thanks for doing these videos.

happy new year's eve

Do you mind me asking where you buy your butter from? I see that you have it on your Amazon Storefront, so just curious if you purchase from Amazon? I've been looking at Bulk Apothecary and Wholesale Supplies Plus, also have checked out Better Shea Butter.

Can you do a video on finding your target audience for beginners

Where did yu get your shelving from? I need those shelves.

❤️Inspirational❣️

I have a issue I wanna know how do you know how much product to make for each jar so say I’m making body scrubs how am I supposed to know how much body scrubs to make for each 8 ounce jar a half I’m new and I’m trying to start a business and I’m just asking a question if you can please let me know thank you.

I wanna make my own money at home, and make smt I ENJOY....smt pretty and aesthetic like your products, I js don't know where to begin. THX SM, IM SO HAPPY FOR UR SUCCESS
