skinnyskinny soap co.
I was intrigued by skinnyskinny's name when I saw that they made soap. At first I thought that they must have some angle on weight loss and got all excited. After all, if there's anything out there purporting to remove cellulite, I'll try it! But, no, they just have great soap products, … Continue Reading

Best Small Business Winner
Bramble Berry was shocked and honored to receive the "Best Small Business in Whatcom County" award from the Northwest Business News Monthly. The awards ceremony was fun and it was a nice chance to get all dressed up (notice the snazzy red shoes?). Plus, I got to give a shout-out from the stage to … Continue Reading

My friend and fellow classmate from MIT's Birthing of Giants program (a 3 year course specifically for young entrepreneurs) just was featured on Yahoo as their entrepreneur of the week! I am incredibly proud of all that she's accomplished in just the three years that she's been working on … Continue Reading
What, me multi-task?
As I write this, I have 2 phone messages to return, 13 email messages open (and well over 1000 in my Inbox to eventually return), 16 Mozilla browser Tabs open and 7 programs on my computer open. Not surprisingly, my Google System Monitor Widget says that 93% of my CPU's capacity is working (and … Continue Reading
Small font on web site – a bad thing?
I'm of two minds over this email in response to our Yahoo Finance feature. On the one hand, I want to please everyone and I would hate to actually turn anyone away from our site because it's too difficult to read or look at. But on the other hand, I really like our design and think that it's very … Continue Reading
Product Body pretty much rocks my world
I love the innovative goodies and packaging design at Product Body. Their products rock, they get great press and Joanna, their owner and creator extraordinaire has her own blog with business musings and funny little asides, kind of like I try to do with mine. One of these days, we'll have to … Continue Reading
Would you like some coffee with that gas?
The C-Store (a small 100 store chain in California) will be wafting coffee aroma at their gas pumps to entice their gas users to come into the store and spend some money on coffee. It makes sense that a gas station would do anything it could to lure customers into the store. After all, gas stations … Continue Reading

Easter is here. Make soap instead of dyeing eggs!
Easter is almost here and I know your family is probably descending upon your house (not that I'm not thrilled and excited to see them!). For a fun afternoon activity, after all the children are in a post-sugar-induced-blank-stare-state and the adults are just thrilled that the furniture has lived … Continue Reading
Steak Soap, Anyone?
Steak Soap anyone? The soap is scented with Cranberry fragrance and apparently was designed to match a meat-themed-bathroom. You would think I was kidding ... but I'm not. It's a very cool example of creativity and thinking outside the proverbial, cliched box. The best soap supplies on the … Continue Reading
Trip to Rome anyone?
Apparently, archaeologists exploring Cypress have found the world's oldest perfume factory. Spanning over 40,000 square feet and thought to employ over a dozen people, the factor even had its own oil pressing machinery. Scientists have recreated some of the fragrances based on bits of materials and … Continue Reading
We’re supporting Captain Seahorse
That's right, a band called Captain Seahorse is going to be where we're putting some of our charitable donation funds this month. Downtown Renaissance Network helps to pick up where Bellingham City services leave off - for example, DRN pays for someone to clean up trash off the streets. (Total … Continue Reading
