I'm not allowed to tell you that it will clear your skin and water your crops because the FDA would be very mad at me for making unverifiable claims, but, uh. I put some on after a bath and instead of going for a pedicure once a month because I have to, I go once every two or three months because I want to. I get a fucking shelf of callus on my left foot because I walk funny, and it hurts and it makes it hard to find sandals that fit nicely, and this stuff just. You rub it on and then in as it melts, and it softens up calluses and rough skin. can back me up here, though, this stuff is incredible. Okay, okay, I'll spare you looking at my feet, but only if you go look at MIRACULOUS HAND AND FOOT SALVE. You're all lip balmed up, what's next? NEXT IS FEET PICS. (Sailor Jupiter is lime basil! Victor is white chocolate mocha! Lapis contains chili oil!) She sits down and says "okay, what is the character like? What do we know about their backstory and the things they do on the day-to-day? What is a flavor that isn't necessarily their 'color,' but is them?" Plus, they're blended flavors-rather than your usual "cherry," "peppermint," "apple," whatever Chapstick is coming out with these days, you get something unique. "oh, apples can be green and Sailor Jupiter is green, so I'll make her flavor Green Apple!" Zeo doesn't do that. These aren't flavors you're going to find anywhere else, either-a lot of people who make fandom-themed items will go, say. And if you're an Overwatch fan, commissioned a set of balms from her a couple of years ago that were great fun to be a guinea pig for-and you've got ten different characters to choose from. I would throw in Sailor Moon herself on that list, but the problem is it smells so good and every time I use it I just end up wanting cake. I use them and deeply enjoy them right now I'm going through the last of a Garnet from Steven Universe, but other faves of mine include Victor ( Yuri on Ice), Peridot, and Sailor Jupiter ( Sailor Moon). So what's she got? Well, fandom themed lip balms that taste bomb and leave your lips feeling like they've been gently brushed by the very softest and lovingest of kittens. But that doesn't change that she's going to need a lot more product, including but not limited to restocking and I believe also at least one new product line? (If my memory of her timeline hasn't shat the bed on me this morning.) Plus, we had to move in the middle of September, so the address listed on the labels is no longer correct-and it has to be updated to meet federal sales standards, but she's got to get this old stock moved. I'm saving some money from my second job to help buy displays. Those did not happen, because her entire sales year did not happen. all the sales she was counting on as a way to buy the additional displays and make the additional product she'll need to fill that booth and make it worth the while? The good news is, it rolled over from 2020 (when said con was canceled), so that's no new expense. Well, finally and at long last, the smoke is clearing, the first Arizona con of 2021 has been scheduled for Labor Day, and. One of the things that got royally fucked over was my roommate's small business: although she has an Etsy, she does the vast majority of her selling at anime conventions. HECK YEAH YOU FIT AT LEAST ONE THING ON THAT LIST.Īs we all know, the horde of robot monkeys who control the earth all collectively malfunctioned in 2020, leaving a trail of chaos in their wake. HEY EVERYBODY IT'S TIME FOR ME TO YELL FOR YOU TO BUY COOL STUFFĭo you have a beard? Calluses? Chapped lips? Do you like to smell like fun things? Do you want to support a small business?
