Basically, I feel guilty. I was suppose to set up the company store for on-line shopping, but as soon as I ran into problems there - back to playing computer games and going sailing on the party boat. Next week, I have to be completely on-line.
The banks flip me out. They look confused when I ask about online credit card processing. I'll probably do Paypal until I get some volume up. They are the easiest to install.
If you're interested in seeing the Elixer site it is at www.frushbotanicals.com. The stuff is FABULOUS for aches and pain from muscle problems caused by sports, arthritis, repetitive motion. Take a look.

Getting Up and Starting
Sometimes I think that I must be absolutely crazy to start up a cream business. After all, there are tons of chemists, doctors and fragrance people that know so much more than I do on the subject. All I know is that with all the thousands of products, many which I tried, nothing worked.
And once I started making creams that people loved, and wanted to buy more, I ran into the production problem of making the product look nice, have low impact on the environment, and (this is big) making sure that the labels don't rub off. Bear with me, I am not yet there, but with stronger sales, many problems will go away.
Several months ago, due to my aches and pains (many due to ballerina's toe shoes in my teens), and my 15 year old daughter's swimmers shoulder, I came up Elixer, made with Arnica Montana. Now Elixer works fast for me but what do I know. Then it worked for my mother (knee eaten by arthritis), my aunt in France (recouping from 2 knee surgeries) and a few friends with weekend warrior-itis. But what gave me some faith in own products is that my beloved chiropractor swears by it and says it is the best pain relief cream he has ever had. And he knows about aches and pains.
Now the cream isn't inexpensive, but I have got it in containers and tubes from 2 ounces on up so that you can afford to try it. Me, I'm dependent on an 8 ounce bottle with a pump to put it on my feet, legs and shoulders. It is part of my daily routine.
