I have seriously been SO SO SO excited all week knowing this post was coming up!
In conjuncture with Glamtrepreneur, we are launching a new column on NeonNotebook called, “Getting Glam with…” (GGW). With “3 Things” and Career Confidential, we have all the other generations covered. So, I thought it would only make sense to do a Q&A that features pint-size entrepreneurs.
These ladies might be young, but that isn’t stopping them from starting their own businesses!!
On our first GGW, classmates Kourvoisia Townsend & Mackenzie Lowman talk about opening up their own retail unit at the Clinton Row Project, a business incubator in downtown Huntsville, AL. The store will include homemade lip gloss (made of crayons, castor oil, Shea butter and a touch of vanilla flavoring), handmade jewelry and tie-dyed T-shirts.
The girls are proud of their business ‘Lips, Looms, Dyes, and Supplies’!
