Would love tips on resources Emilie used to start her business. Books, websites...the legal aspects of starting a business. Many homesteaders are feeling led to come out of these systems and bring husbands home for business, but need help with the business end, not necessarily the product side. Great episode ladies!
Not just useful information for Women but also useful information for a girl dad. Thanks for the education.
Thank you for doing this show. I had never heard of this company or their products. I have looked them up on line and are fascinated with the ingredient lists. I definitely have to try the products. Thank you again.
“Toups and Co”? My first question is Co pronounced like so, is quite odd. How did you decide on that name? Is Toups your last name? And why Co for company? Confusing and odd.
Also, I have never heard of a tallow balm. What is it and why would someone want to put it on their skin?
Her last name is Toups. Tallow is rendered beef fat. Tallow & olive olive have been used for the skin for centuries. Tallow is the base of soap...it's a wonderful soap. Toups products are fabulous. It's not cheap but great ingredients and worth it. I've used them for 3+ years now. I started with one or two items & bought more as I could. Fabulous foundation! Try them! 😊
