How to Make Your Very Own Glow in the Dark Easter Eggs

With Easter coming up there is no better way to get into the spirit than to engage in a little Easter egg painting. But don't bore the kids with your usual every day Easter egg painting. For this Easter, why not try making your eggs glow in the dark? This can be achieved with our fantastic UV Glow or our Chargeable Glow in the Dark face & body paints and by following the simple 'recipe' below. Want to know where you can buy these wonderful, safe and cosmetically certified paints? That's easy, buy them at our website of course! Best prices, quality & service. For an extra sparkle to your Easter eggs, you could even try a bit of glitter.



Glow in the Dark Eggs:  Pour a dollop of fluorescent or glow in the dark paint into a bowl.  Add roughly 2/3 of a cup of warm water and 1/3 of a cup of vinegar to the bowl and stir.  Repeat for each color of paint that you have purchased, using different labeled bowls.  Eggs can be dipped into multiple colors for an even more varied glow.  Dry, then hold in the dark – or better yet, under a black light!



Happy Easter everyone! Make sure you don't accidentally spill any of this awesome glowy concoction on the Easter bunny though, it might impede his abilities to stay hidden from the children!

We just love the range of UV bright vibrant colours you can get; and the fact that the sound activated LED glow bracelets are really simple to activate, come with secure connecting fittings attached and they also last for the whole night out clubbing; giving over 8 hours of funky fluorescent UV glow to our club wear. The glow bracelets are light weight and the tight connecting fitting ensures that the bracelet stays on and doesn't interfere when dancing around to the music of the club night.

Sharks are all ready so frickin' Scary. WTF



Mr G grew up as a young lad in the isolated city of Perth in Western Australia. One of the best parts of living in Perth is the fantastic beaches. Mr G loved swimming at the beaches but there is an unwritten rule amongst the BeastBopper clan. You don't swim past standing height if there's seaweed obscuring the bottom. Mr G had an unnatural fear of sharks despite never being attacked by one nor knowing anyone who has been attacked by one.
But now. Now. There's this.....

Come on. That's just completely unneccessary. Sharks are all ready so freakin' scary. What the hell do you need them to glow for? At least you might be able to spot them amongst the seaweed...

BeastBoppers are a Little Bit Like Hobbits

undefined


We recently enjoyed looking at the National Geographic 2014 photos of the year. We love the winner for this year 'Node' by Brian Yen.
Seeing this photo reminded us of our visit to Hong Kong. BeastBoppers are not entirely unlike Hobbits being short with hairy toes. We are used to walking around in the land of tall people and so on the rare ooccasion when we are at least average or perhaps above average height, we almost feel like we stand out even more somehow. I guess it is the one time when we can empathise with tall people who complain about being tall.
In Hong Kong, we still probably wouldn't be what is considered tall but we were probably average. We will never forget the image of a tall white man getting on to the subway train and having to stoop not only to get in through the door but the whole trip. We were glad we were not tall.
We never travelled on a Hong Kong train like the picture above. As tourists we must have been lucky to have only travelled outside of peak hour. However, we definitely think the addition of some of our great UV Glow in the Dark face & body paints, hair colouring gels & streaks, Professional glitter, LED light up gloves and LED Light balloons from beastbop.com would very much be a welcome addition to the above scene. Might cheer these commuters up a bit. Especially that dude in the bottom right. He doesn't look very happy at all. Someone give that man permission to have fun.
Speaking of Hong Kong, BeastBop is seriously considering heading that way at some point in 2015 to visit the Trade Fairs. We are especially interested in visiting the Canton Trade Fair which we understand in the largest in China. It's on twice a year so we'll aim to go over in either April or October.
With any luck we'll meet some new people, spark some new relationships and find some fantastic new fun products to add to our all ready wonderfully cheap UV Glow in the dark face & body paints, hair colour gels & streaks, LED party light up gloves, balloons and UV torches.
Don't forget, we offer free shipping within Australia and competitive shipping worldwide. Buy now to be good to glow.

Let it Glow... Let it Go

The first product we looked at sourcing to sell were Glow Sticks. We registered beastbop.com with an account on Alibaba and began searching for a good price on glow in the dark sticks and bracelets.
Finding a good price on glow sticks wasn't as hard as we thought as pretty soon we had negotiated a price of 0.017 USD per stick for 50,000 or $1.70 US for 100 which was the more relevant way of looking at them considering they shipped in tubes of this quantity. Working out the exchange to Australian dollar and factoring in shipping we determined they would come out to just over $2 per tube. Not bad considering we could see our competitors were selling them for upwards of $12. The only problem and one that to this day, seems insurmountable, is that the tubes weigh in at 600 grams each! That's right, those thin light little tubes in packs of 100 add up. I guess when you say one tube weighs six grams it doesn't sound like much but times it by 100.... This meant that we would need to send them in a 3kg parcel which means that when you factor in transaction costs and postage we would be struggling to break even on them.
We still don't know how our competitors can turn a profit on these things. If anyone knows we would be happy to hear. So strike number one. BeastBop.com was not to be in the market for Glow in the dark sticks.
Nonetheless, this had begun a desire for ourselves to look for something fun that we would enjoy to sell to people and make our future customers happy. We still love glow sticks and think they are a wonderful invention.
We recently came across this article about the invention of glow sticks. Highly recommended reading.

The Beast as to the Bop - A Modern Fairytale set in the Misty Hills of the Yarra Ranges

So after a few weeks of this we began to realise that maybe, just maybe, we could make some money out of this. Perhaps not a lot. Maybe just some pocket money. But this was definitely turning into a legitimate side hustle. Mr G suggested to Ms P that before we start running afoul of the revenue office perhaps we better go full legit and get ourselves a registered business name. But what to call ourselves and more importantly, what's a good name that we can register a domain for that hasn't all ready been taken?

Coming up with an original business name wasn't too hard and if we were content to settle for a com.au domain only again the choices were quite varied. However whilst we suspect that the bulk of our business will come from Australia we decided it would be best to have a universal .com address. Mr G had recently read an article on successful businesses, and one of the key points was to pick a business name that doesn't tie you down to selling one thing or to be stuck trading in one key area. The article had claimed this had been what had made Apple so successful. Mr G's eyes lit up when he read that. For he had been an unrepentant die hard Apple fanboy since he was, well, a boy playing snake on his dad's Apple II in the 80's. However neither of us expected ourselves to ever achieve such illustriousness and would really be quite happy if one day, some time in the distant future, this side hustle could become the main gig, the bread and butter of the beastbopper family and Mr G and Mz P could quit their jobs and Fly Solo on the armored wings of the implausible and entirely fictional Beast of the Bop.

So Mr G & Mz P set down to the task of coming up with an original and inspiring name. A steady flow of unexciting names spewed forth and we won't deign to bore you with them now. Anytime any remotely interesting name came to mind, alas, it was all ready taken. One night, Mr G was reading a bedtime story to Baby Beast. The story was the classic fairy-tale story 'Beauty and the Beast'. Mz P happened to be passing by the bedroom when she heard it and it reminded her of how different her and Mr G could often be. Mz P likes to listen to music and constantly dance, she loves the rockabilly style and can be a real bopper. Mr G, on the other hand, is more akin to the beast in the story, preferring to spend quiet nights at home, reading a good book or losing himself staring into the flickering flames of a warm hearth. Suffice to say, the similarities in regards to looks were also relevant but the less said about that the better...

And so with the sprinkling of a great idea in her mind, Mz P fluttered to her laptop and searched for the domain www.beastbop.com
She couldn't believe what she found....
