How to use Virtuemart with a non-Virtuemart template.

Here is my situation.

I have Joomla! 3.4.5 installed and have a RocketTheme template.  I installed Virtuemart 3.0.12 as well.

I want to keep my front end being the RocketTheme template, and have links to my products so that I have a clean front end that is more appealing.

Question is, If I have my RocketTheme homepage where is my Virtuemart shop at?

The site is at www.engravedshells.com so you can see what I mean.  If you look I have some products listed and want the link underneath them to go to the product page, then checkout, and so on.

I installed the sample data just to have an easier set up time as I only have about five actual products right now.  Eventually I will add more.

I would appreciate it if one of you veterans could maybe guide me a minute so I know where everything is, or tell me how to set it up if you could.  At least enough for me to get an "Aha!" moment and carry it forwards myself.

Anything helps, but time is of the essence.  I need the site live by Dec 1st.

Thanks!

Can you give me an idea of the path to the VM homepage?  i.e. www.mydomain.com/........?  ..or where I would find it in the configuration?  I can set the menu on my homepage, but where does the VM homepage live when it's installed?  I need that link to put in the menu.
