Tina's Timeline

Tina was born in Michigan City, Indiana then later moved to Orange County, California. After burning the soles of her feet at a beach bonfire, her feet were never the same.
The was the beginning of her love/hate relationship with her feet. Tina started her own business of recycled vintage Levi's which she exported to Europe and Japan. Tina started another business, a retail clothing store in Long Beach, California.
It specilized in recycled vintage clothing which she sold to many celebrities. Tina went to work for Victoria's Secret at South Coast Plaza as a manager and was soon relocated to New York City. Later on in New York City, Tina began to work for BCBG Max Azria and found it difficult to wear heels all day/everyday.
The idea is planted... She buys bulky, blue orthopedic insoles and cuts them down to fit her sexy stilettos. Now back in California, the internet start-up company she was working for goes under and this seems to be the opportunity to finally solve her uncomfortable shoe problem.
After much research of materials, Tina finds PORON and Foot Petals gets their big break from SELF Magazine when Tip Toes™ received ad grade "A" rating. Foot Petals is founded and moves out of Tina's dining roomand moves into first official office in Culver City.
More ideas begin to sprout... Tip Toes™ is the first cushion introduced, it is a ball-of-foot cushion and Foot Petals best seller.
Soon after, Heavenly Heelz™ are introduced. Strappy Strips™ are added to the mix of Foot Petals products.
Also starting this year, Foot Petals starts thinking about comfort for sexy feet. Petal Plusheez™, spa like socks to help tired feet relax after a long day, are now offered. Foot Petals has a big year and really starts to grow. New products are introduced including, Killer Kushionz™ and Sole Stopperz™.
Now men can enjoy the comfort that Foot Petals has to offer, with the introduction of the men's line, Sole Kings!
To top the year off, the American Podiatric Medical Association endoreses a variety of Foot Petals products. With a growing business it is time for a bigger office, Foot Petals moves to West Los Angeles.
During this time Tina takes courses to get a certification in Pedorthics.
Also this year, Tina gets married along with the release of the Runaway Bride gift set. Foot Petals is now a budding flower... with a move into a bigger office in Long Beach and the opening of a new office in New Jersey.
