Hi everyone!

Hi to everyone on the forum

Just found this site today and wanted to say hello as I've just joined.
I'm Cathy and have my own website selling Aromatherapy, Bath & Body and Home Fragrance products. I've recently added wedding favours to my range too. The website is a cross between Body Shop and Lush but much cheaper although there's no compromise on quality.
I launched my site last Februrary after selling on ebay for 5 years due to the high fees and all the recent changes, gave up my f/t job in the city and branched out on my own.
One of the best things I have ever done!!

I also have 2 ebay shops - Aromabar (same products as above) and Suburban Mania which supplies Men's jewellery including Stainless Steel and Titanium.

This site looks really good so hope to get to know some of you a bit better soon when I pop in.
I also help to run a forum called Ebay Friends which is off ebay so if you're interested PM me and I'll give you the website details.

Thanks

Cathy xx

Hello Cathy!

Welcome on TWF and Thanks for introduction.

I too remember the day when I left my day job with a big smile on my face :-)

welcome.... cant remember the last time I had a proper job [as my father called it] did a bit with bath bombs, hand sliced soaps and oils myself some time ago. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the welcomes and good wishes

Geosamm - you're the first person I've spoken to who used to sell similar items to me, how did you find it?

It's hard work but I'm getting there and have a lot of regular customers just hoping it keeps growing

It was profitable.... keep the quality and the customers will stay with you.... increase the variety and new will follow... slowly slowly catchy monkey..... I even started to make my own stuff.... but to steal a line from a good movie.... I was made an offer I couldnt refuse

Welcome aromabar - sounds like a good business you got going there - nice to be different - can't think I have heard of anyone else doing this sort of thing in my short time here.

Thanks for replying.
I try to source the best quality I can and am constant adding new products so hopefully I'm doing something right

You lucky thing! Good on you!
