We probably will never have a sale on the above products. Here's why: we have to stay in business. It comes down to pricing. Side note: I wrote an article about product pricing for Pyragraph and you might be interested in it if you're interested in our business. Our production...

I caught myself doing it yesterday: resisting efficiency. While listening to Getting Things Done for the first time since starting my business (I listened and read it often when I had a desk job), I found myself resisting implementing the clearly beneficial time and project management tools. Why? It was a good question......

Hey gang, I sometimes use this blog as a resource to hear what people think, and today I want to know: Why do you buy handmade soap? Whether or not you buy our handmade soap, I want to know what drives you to spend more money on something that you have to...

Everyone wants to hear stories where I've struggled through and not done well, so here you go. Two years ago, we didn't win the Martha Stewart American Made competition. I imagine you have one of two reactions to hearing that:

TADA! Here's a sneak peek at our new gift set that we'll be launching next month for Father's Day in very limited quantities.

I hated running. Ten years ago, I trained for and ran the San Francisco half-marathon. I was 30 and realized I had never really dedicated myself to something I hated, but resolved to do despite my hatred of it. It seems like most people accept that they have to do...

Yesterday was one hell of a buckin' bronc of a soap making ride! Thank heavens the CEO/Wife works within screaming distance of the COO/Husband in the soap shop. I was in the process of making five batches (190 bars) of everyone's all time favorite, Hair of the Dog Whiskey Soap, when...

Production and temperance isn't the kind of thing people run advertising campaigns about, but without it, this business would be a smoldering rubble. Here's to Russell Vincent, my husband, my outlaw, and my business partner!

The truth is, neither were we. When I reflect back on how different our lives were just three years ago, it hardly seems possible that we have changed almost everything about our lives, our careers, and our homes. We even gained a family member (Roxy Vincent, VP of Animal Testing). How did this...

I promised I'd post other photos of the build-out of our new place, so here's the build-out of our fulfillment room! My dream was to be able to just fill an order quickly. I know, I know, it's at once both a very small dream and a very impossible one....

I first bought the poster version of this card at an LA Brewery Art Walk about five years ago, and even...

Over here in the badlands (um, in Oakland), big changes are afoot for Russ and me (Danielle). Outlaw Trading Co. As many of you know (based on our customer satisfaction survey), we don't just sell soaps anymore, we sell lotions and lip balms, too. Soon, we'll be selling shower gels (by...
