What started as a childhood interest has grown into a small business for one student. Freshman Vivian Ribblet, the creator of “Vivian’s Slime Shop,” first became interested in slime after watching videos online at the age of 7. She soon began making her own slime and selling it to friends.
Today, Vivian continues to expand her creations, with “Brownie Batter” being her favorite slime to make. Her most popular product, however, is her cake batter slime, which has become a favorite among customers.

Above: Vivian Ribblet sells her slime at local businesses such as Monroe 816 in Garnett.
To create her products, Vivian sources ingredients from major retailers such as Amazon, Michaels, and Walmart. She also purchases scents in bulk from Aztec Scent Company to enhance her slimes with unique and appealing fragrances.
Vivian promotes her business through her Instagram account, “viviansslimeofficial,” and hopes to launch a full online shop in the coming months as her business continues to grow.
With creativity and determination, Vivian has turned a simple hobby into a promising entrepreneurial venture.
