thanks to all the members and guest who contributed to the discussions posted by various individuals. I followed the links pertaining to Fl statues and WOW! Registering each product you manufacture in Florida cost a whopping $250 minimum. Did I mention per product. Lotion-$250, balm-$250, shampoo-$250. They gotta be kidding, right?

- Hi Sandy,
I'm glad you are enjoying your time here. It's great to be able to connect with people and learn from them in a sharing environment.
There's even more learning and sharing to be had if you actually become a member of the Indie Beauty Network, as opposed to a guest at our social networking site.
The Indie Beauty Network is a trade organization with membership dues and benefits. This social networking site here is open to the public, but not everyone here is a member of IBN. You can find out more about IBN membership and benefits here.
I hope you will join IBN as a member some day and take advantage of those benefits. In the meantime, I'm glad you are enjoying being a guest at our site!
Thanks,
dM
