Cactus & Ivy | Shine A Light Nominee

Hey y'all!

I hope this post finds you doing well. This post is to ask for your support in the Shine A Light program, which Cactus & Ivy is a nominee.

On Friday of last week, my father nominated Cactus & Ivy for the opportunity to win $100,000 in grant and marketing support. Nominated stories need 50 spotlights to proceed to the judging stage for consideration.

In order to endorse my story, you are required to register on the site before you can show your support. I can't say enough about how the grant money and marketing support would change Cactus & Ivy. Each day, I strive to take my company to another level while providing products with a purpose.

The deadline for receiving endorsements is Sunday, September 13, 2009. Your support is greatly appreciated.
You may read my story, register and give your endorsement here.

Thanks for stopping by y'all and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy Labor Day Y'all

Hey y'all!

I hope this post finds you having a great day! Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September, to honor the economic and social accomplishments of American workers.

On a lighter note, this picture made me giggle so I had to post it! Growing up, my Mom always told me, "You can't wear white after Labor Day". Well......the fact is.....I blaze my own trail and have worn white after Labor Day, if the mood fit me. Woot!!

Thanks for stopping by y'all! Have a safe and happy Labor Day!

Cactus & Ivy | New Label Design

Hey y'all!

I hope this post finds you doing well. It has been so long since I've posted anything and I do apologize. Our vacation, Slug Fest '09, was so relaxing and I actually 'unplugged' for a week.....because the hubby forgot to pack the power cable to the laptop. It was a blessing in disguise.

Our label re-design is finally over and now it is time to print, apply and take product pictures. The new design completely reflects Cactus & Ivy and the direction it is headed. Each product line has a different design background with bright colors to coordinate with the aroma. The dark grey face and white text just add to the clean and spirited feel I wanted. I'm stoked that the Cactus & Ivy logo is a focal point, which helps with brand recognition. The graphic designer really hit the nail on the head. Here are a few for the unveiling. I'd love to know what you think!
