Take advantage of this special offer to try Bruise Relief, the natural formula that helps your skin recover from traumas that result in bruising.

You never know when you might need this rescue remedy.   Did you injure yourself at the gym?  Maybe take a wild punch or kick in Jiu Jitsu class?  Apply Bruise Relief to the point of impact and you will accelerate the healing process tenfold. Instead of 2 weeks of ugly discoloration, your skin will look great within a few days.

Maybe you had a late night? Those dark circles under your eyes could be a dead giveaway at work the next day.  Bruise Relief applied under the eyes will diminish circles and give you a fresher look.  It may get you that promotion.

Bruising or discoloration of the skin occurs when an injury causes pooling of blood and fluids beneath the surface of the skin.  Bruise Relief works by super-hydrating the area, helping the body to reabsorb the excess blood and fluids, and diminishing the appearance and duration of bruises.  Instead of two weeks of purple or blue or even green skin, you can be bruise free.

Spring Sports Season is here! Pack a tube of Bruise Relief in your gear bag and save yourself the pain and embarrassment of unsightly bruises.

Don’t forget. For the month of April only, find us on the shelves at Walgreens nationwide for $2 off the retail price. Give Bruise Relief a try. Tell a friend. Buy a tube for your mom or dad. See just how great Bruise Relief works.

With three named storms to date and Danny forming in the Atlantic, the threat of another hurricane is always on our minds.

Our own experience post-Katrina was like many others in New Orleans, from evacuation to our eventual return. In fact, Bruise Relief was still in development when the storm hit and we were delayed almost a year before getting back on track.

The delay, the storm and upheaval that followed, what that did to our community was devastating. And as a community we are still recovering. But we are recovering.

How we do business changed as a result of Katrina. Plans we’d made to outsource manufacturing and marketing to other parts of the country, we brought home to New Orleans. In fact, we believe our local partners are even more capable now than they were before the storm. Our manufacturer upgraded equipment. Our advertising firm was revitalized by employees who’d left and come back.

The business community here in New Orleans has been so supportive, urged on by local Bruise Relief fans that literally walked into retailers demanding the product. Imagine CVS and Walgreens calling us for more stock.

As we’ve branched out to other parts of the country, our Bruise Relief ambassadors are also getting a warm reception in Atlanta, Dallas, DC, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami. We know people love the product but we also believe they want to be a part of re-building this community.

We have all of you to thank for our success. Before Katrina, Bruise Relief was an idea. Now we’re a business with products in 7,000 stores nationwide including CVS and SuperValu stores as well as Walgreens regionally. We’re also online at Drugstore.com, Target.com and others.

One of the characteristics of post-Katrina New Orleans is entrepreneurship and a willingness to help other entrepreneurs. This came from the Katrina experience and represents a willingness to be self-sufficient, a great desire to help others succeed and a lot of out-of-the-box thinking…

After all, it’s easy to think outside the box when the box is gone.

Walgreens made a DVD of the event to share with their system nationally, and several district and regional managers were there. This event was great exposure for Bruise Relief and we can’t thank them enough for the opportunity.

We handed out free samples and welcomed new and old friends to try Bruise Relief. Walgreens store managers love Bruise Relief and the Pharmacists said senior women tell them they are buying it because they are on blood thinners. Anyone on blood thinners knows they bruise much more easily. As one man on Coumadin told us, “If I even look at a coffee table, I bruise.” With Bruise Relief, finally there is a product that is safe for people taking blood thinners!

The head regional manager for Walgreens said Monday we will get another 32 store order! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see us. If you missed us this time, we’re planning to make another appearance at a Walgreens in Covington in early August. More details to follow.

Are we surprised? Not one bit. We know Bruise Relief is a terrific product. But we are grateful to the people of New Orleans who’ve reached out to support one of their own. And we are so proud to be a part of this community and to be among those businesses that are actively participating in the rebuilding of New Orleans post-Katrina.

In particular thanks to CVS and Walgreens (here in New Orleans and all along the Gulf Coast) who confidently handled overwhelming demand for Bruise Relief in their stores. Thanks also to the following:
