CEDAR CITY, Utah (ABC4) — Lynette Bullock already owned other businesses, but when her daughter came to her with an idea, she was immediately interested.

Her daughter Alex Miner, a master esthetician, wanted to make bath bombs with ingredients that would be soft on people with sensitive skin. In 2016, Miner and Bullock began testing dozens of recipes together until they found one they liked.

They started selling the bath bombs during the Christmas season but got busy during the year and did not continue with the products. The following Christmas, about a hundred people reached out to them asking for more.

That’s when Bullock said she knew they had a business and The Skin Candy was formed.

“Making these products are actually really fun. Choosing the colors we’re using, choosing the design we want to put on it,” Miner said. “And then we also can look into the science behind each individual ingredient. “

Miner said the business has also brought her closer to Bullock, and while at times there are some differences of opinion, she has loved the process of creating and selling with her mom.

“She’s my best friend now, from that week on,” she said.

The Skin Candy’s products are in about a dozen locations throughout Utah and over 50 retailers across the U.S., Bullock said. The company sells several products from soaps and moisturizers to candles and wax melts — and of course, bath bombs.

While they used to also sell their products on Etsy, they said they didn’t feel like their products would get enough visibility on the online market and the fees were high.

When Michaels opened its own handmade goods online platform last November, Bullock — who worked at Michaels years before — joined the market. The online marketplace is called MakerPlace and has both handmade goods and classes for creative pursuits.

Michaels is now piloting a nationwide program where they invite MakerPlace vendors to bring their products to their local Michaels store for one day.

On Saturday, July 20, The Skin Candy will be featured at the Orem Michaels store with Bullock there to promote her products from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. On the same day, another local business called Jande Summer — which sells personalized art — will be at the Riverton location.

When asked what she expects for Saturday, Bullock said she expects it will be a day of teaching.

“I think it’s going to be a lot of education,” Bullock said. “Letting people know that we’re here, that we’re local.”

To determine the highest-quality registered agent services, we researched over 15 providers and chose the 10 best. We reviewed these services across six primary categories, with a total of 17 different metrics. The criteria were weighted to stress features that are valuable for small businesses.

Here are the metrics we applied to assess the most effective registered agent services:

Pricing

We assessed both the startup and renewal costs for registered agent services, as well as any extra or unexpected fees, including surprise add-ons. We also factored in any guarantees and additional benefits. Pricing makes up 20% of the final score.

General Features

Thirty percent of our review methodology included looking at how providers manage documents, communicate the arrival of new correspondence and whether they alert you to important registration renewal deadlines and urgent documents.

Mobile App

Modern business often extends beyond a single office location. Many entrepreneurs use mobile technology to maintain smooth operations. We assessed whether services provide a mobile app, although this feature only represents 5% of the score because it does not affect the core services provided by the agent.

Service and Support

Unlike mobile features, we found that the ability to get in touch with live help at any time is a crucial component of a superior service. We researched the customer support availability for each provider and rated them based on the different methods of contact, the availability of 24/7 support and the existence of a knowledge base for self-help. These factors make up 15% of a provider’s total score.

Ratings and Reviews

To understand user perceptions of each provider, we looked at third-party user reviews and ratings. We assessed the average rating for each provider and the count of reviews they collected. These ratings make up 10% of the total score.

Expert Score

Based on our direct experience, we considered a variety of metrics such as user-friendliness, feature quality and popularity to determine the top services. This expert review constitutes the final 20% of the total rating.

Russell Westbrook has spent part of two seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.

However, the 2017 MVP was officially traded to the Utah Jazz on Thursday.

Via Clippers.com: “The LA Clippers have acquired guard Kris Dunn in a sign-and-trade with the Utah Jazz in exchange for guard Russell Westbrook, a right to swap second-round draft picks in 2030, the draft rights to center Balsa Koprivica and cash considerations, it was announced by President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank.”

The Clippers also shared a quote from President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank.

Frank via Clippers.com: “Russ is an all-time great and we were fortunate to have him here. He lifted the energy and intensity of the group. We look forward to seeing him continue his decorated career.”

Westbrook finished this past season with averages of 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field and 27.3% from the three-point range in 68 games.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Utah Jazz will waive the nine-time NBA All-Star, and then he will likely sign with the Denver Nuggets.

Via Wojnarowski: “Once Russell Westbrook clears waivers, the expectation is that he’ll join the Denver Nuggets as a free agent and bring them another veteran to bolster the team’s bench and be available as a spot-starter.”

The Clippers will be getting Kris Dunn, who is coming off a season where he averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 47.0% from the field and 36.9% from the three-point range in 66 games.

He was the fifth pick in the 2016 NBA Draft out of Providence.
