Who would have ever imagined that a birthday gift request from a ten year old would result in a creative idea for a successful business? I have my niece Macy Taylor to thank for requesting a bath bomb as a gift in August of 2016, which led to the development of Sassy Bubbles, a factory of love that hand makes deliciously smelling and adorable bath bombs. As a single mom of two amazing young kids, I was struggling to make ends meet. With the generous help of a loving mentor, a stranger I reached out to for help, I was given secret recipes to start a new business. I will forever be grateful to her for her generous heart to help out a fellow single mom get back on her feet. And two years later, Sassy Bubbles has been invited to participate in gift shows, country clubs, corporate events, musical events, school events and vendor events all over the DFW area. Sassy Bubbles has a permanent booth at the Lone Star Mercantile in Allen, and we have become a popular stop for the perfect birthday and pampering gifts. Sassy Bubbles showcases products at the Dallas Total Home and Gift Market, IGES in Sevierville, TN and Gift Market at America’s Mart in Atlanta, and has customers around the country that sell in their gift shops, flower shops, hospital gift shops, and kids’/womens’ stores. Sassy Bubbles also has an online presence, and are frequently invited to participate in flash online events with various websites.
My creative muses, my 13 year old daughter, Emily Vivian, and 11 year old son, Albert Joseph, get the final word on yea or nay for production. If they think it's cute or cool, I move forward with the idea. And thankfully, I am greeted with nonstop compliments at every event on how adorable the products are, and that they look almost edible. I also listen very closely to feedback shoppers provide as well, and I have incorporated their advice in the development of the line because I realize I am ultimately producing product for them. As a result, we have developed a loyal base of customers all of our bath bombs fizz, foam and bubble, and have coconut oil. Women especially love our Bubble Bath Truffles because they also contain cocoa butter, so they make for a very moisturizing bubble bath. Kids love our Truffles because they look like ice cream scoops. Our Truffles are served in ice cream cups or as shakes with a great luffa. Our shows stopper with kids are our Rubber Duck Bath Bombs, which have a cupcake base, with an adorable rubber duck topping for great bubble bath and moisturizing fun. Our Bath Bomb Bundt Cakes and Donut Cakes make perfect birthday gifts. Our Sweet Fizzy Roll make a great gift because it includes the top six of our delicious nine scents: Lemon Verbena, Raspberry Boom, Cherry Almond, Ocean Waves, Cucumber/Melon, Georgia Peach, Mango/Mandarin, Lavender/Pomegranates and my personal favorite, Coconut/Lime. Our newest addition have been our Shower Steamers, for an amazing aromatherapy shower. We recognize that not everyone takes the time to pamper themselves with a bubble bath (although they should), but they still desire some pampering in their shower. Our Shower Steamers come in a variety of scents as well, but also include Peppermint and Eucalyptus/Mint for those days we need an extra little help clearing our sinuses with the natural steam of the shower.
If you had told me when I graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a Journalism degree that I would be happily making bath bombs to support my kids, I would have looked at you cross eyed. I am thankful for the 10 years I worked in the public relations field working with amazing companies such as Texas Instruments to roll out their Digital Signal Processing technology that has changed the way we live with smart technology, and years I spent at the Creative Marketing Center of Sprint Business, learning how all facets of marketing work together for product development and rollout. But the satisfaction I get from interacting with other creative entrepreneurs, and the excitement people share with me after seeing and using products I hand make with all my heart, is priceless. It has been wonderful participating in the GoTexan Pavilion, General Store at the State Fair of Texas, and it was an honor to have been selected as semi-finalist for the Texas Works Awards in 2018. Also very honored to have won Second Place, People’s Choice Award at Zest Fest 2020.
As a result of our involvement with Go Texan, we have met some amazing business owners, and have learned very helpful lessons from them. They are a great network of very helpful people. And I live my life believing everyone you meet comes into your life for a reason, so I am thankful to have a network of amazing people to learn from.
