Come summer story hour

Pink Monkey will be at the Hallettsville Public Library on Tuesday June 28th at 10:00am for the summer reading program. We will be talking about how soap was made in the old days vs how soap is made now days at home. I will also talk about how I make soap different than most people do.

After a period of question and answers the children will make their own room/body sprays to take home.

I will explain about mixing essential oils and give each child a small sample of my homemade soap to take home and try.

This is a recipe I just found for hand cream. It is not my recipe I use for Pink Monkey Body Whip. I think I will try it and test it out.

Atta girl

My mom, Vera Miller signed up to be a Pink Monkey rep about a week ago. She immediately got two more people to be reps under her the first day and moved up to independent distributor. She is growing my business faster than I can believe. I think she now has 3 or 4 reps below her. Good job Mom, Vera. This is the kind of people I like having sell Pink Monkey. They believe in the product and just tell others about it and my product sells itself. I like to make sure all reps have testers of Thieves Oil and body whip because most times, once a person tries it they buy it.

I am proud of my mom. Now I better go make some more product. I love it.

Pink Monkey Got a new sales rep today

Pink Monkey got another sales representative today. My mom, Vera Miller signed up to sell Pink Monkey. She uses the products so she is an excellent choice as a rep. If you use a product and love it and believe in it, its easy to sell.

Pink Monkey is rolling along and gaining momentum. Its exciting to be on the ground floor of such an exciting venture.

Its super exciting to be the owner/inventor of a cool company. I have great friends who help with names, packaging, sales etc. Just because they are cool that way. Who could ask for more?

Pink Monkey will have at least two new products in February of this year. Yep that's right next month.
Thieves Oil soap and Tea Tree Oil soap are for sure. We are hoping to launch another exciting new product as well. Its still in the testing stages so I wont bore you with the details.

Pink Monkey News

Pink Monkey will soon be offering two kinds of Thieves oil. Formula #1 is the original blend made with eucalyptus. Formula #2 will replace the eucalyptus with tea tree oil.

We are also developing thieves oil soap and tea tree oil soap. So now we will have Oatmeal, milk and honey, tea tree oil, thieves oil and plain.

Also in the works is online ordering. I am working on a way to enable my customers to be able to order product online no matter where they are. I hope to be able to offer this from my blog, this blog, and my affiliates blogs.

New banner I ordered

I will use this banner when I go to craft shows and such.

Beaver County Fair

We spent yesterday and today at the Beaver Co. Fair at a booth for the Pink Monkey Soap. It was very successful. I was amazed at the amount of people who attended.
For a small town they have a lots of stuff going on. I was really happy with our weekend.
Lots of people mentioned that they had read about me in the PTCI communicator. Some thought they had seen me on TV. I really enjoyed myself but I am glad its over.

PTCI article about Pink Monkey Soap

This is a copy of the article written about Pink Monkey Soap in the PTCI newsletter, The Communicator. It is delivered to several hundred customers of the local phone company. If you want to read the article just click anywhere on it to make it larger. There are a few mistakes like the fact that I have never been kicked in the head by a goat. I have no idea where she got that and the adding glycerin thing. I think she wasn't paying complete attention when I was talking to her and then tried to write it from memory. The goat part is kind of embarrassing, but oh well. I just wanted to show you that it got published. I started getting phone calls and emails right away. I am hoping the free advertising will be a boost to my business.

Thieves Oil

Pink Monkey makes a Thieves Oil which is a natural replacement for hand sanitizer. I have ordered new bottles so will now be able to offer 3 sizes.
1/2 oz. $4.00
1 oz. $8.00
2 oz. $15.00
Hand sanitizer is very drying to your skin. Thieves Oil is made with essential oils and a carrier oil. Some of the oils I use are bacteria fighting and some are immune boosting. Thieves Oil is a great alternative to the alcohol based hand sanitizers.
Here is the legend of the Thieves Oil


Stories Behind the Thieves The thieves happen to have been merchants and spice traders, and that’s how they knew about the oils because they were importing cinnamon and clove from India and when the plague hit, the kings of the various countries sent out a mandate closing down inter-national commerce and shipping. So all of the ships were docked and they couldn’t sell couldn’t engage in their business and they were going broke.

The spice trade was a very lucrative trade and they made money at it, so they decided, “Well–all of these people are dying and they are afraid to touch them. We might as well go loot their bodies and take the things off and go into the homes where everybody is dead and take the things out of the homes, like pots and pans and jewelry and clothing and set up a pawn shop trade…” that’s when pawn shops evolved.

Of course, you have heard the story when the king issued the proclamation to have the thieves captured, but the constables were afraid to touch them because they knew they had been touching the dead bodies and going in the homes of the dead people, and they didn’t want the plague.

It became so severe that the king even executed a few of the constables that refused. Finally, it was a life or death issue, and as the story goes on there were four of them who were caught. The king gave them an opportunity to confess the secret of their immunity, either with the choice of burning at the stake or being hung by the neck,meaning if they didn’t give up their secret they would be burned at the stake, and worse if they gave up their secret they would be hung by the neck–and they chose hanging.

They gave up their secret and it was published and plastered all through the town.

Pink Monkey Education

My friend Kristy who owns the Breakfast Club in Guymon asked me to educate her waitresses about Pink Monkey Soap. After telling them about my product I gave each lady a bar of soap and a jar of body whip. I asked them to use the product so that when customers asked about it they would have first hand experience from using it. They were very happy to get free product.

Body Whip

Lori asked me "Just what is body whip?" Body whip is a body lotion that is whipped in the mixer until its light and fluffy. It actually stands up in peaks in the mixer. Its like having a cloud in a bottle that moisturizes your skin. Oh, and its my own recipe.

Teaching an education class

Kristy, a friend of mine who owns and operates The Breakfast Club in Guymon has asked me to do an educational class for her this afternoon. She carries my products, Pink Monkey Soap at her restaurant. She feels like her employees need educated about my products so they can do a better job of selling them.

So I am giving each employee a bar of Pink Monkey Soap and a jar of Body Whip to try. I believe if they try my products they will love them and will be enthusiastic with their praise and be able to sell my products much better.

Kristy also owns the Daddy'O's sub shop. I think she may eventually put Pink Monkey Soap in there as well.

When the article about me comes out in August I am hoping that sales go way up. I gave the lady who is writing the article some soap as well as a few other ladies in that department. She loves it already. I need to drop a jar of Body Whip by so she can try that as well. When you first start something, sometimes you have to give stuff away to get people hooked on your product.

I met a lady at Daddy O's yesterday who said she loves my soap, I said of course you do. If you try it, you love it.

New packaging

These are the new jars I bought for product. I painted the flats for the body whip pink and brown for the gardeners hand scrub. I bought some green paint so I may paint some flats green for a salt scrub. I like the way the new packaging turned out.
