Our Story

In the midst of a worldwide pandemic, I was forced to take a pause from my hectic lifestyle and adjust to the new reality that formed around me. During quarantine, I channeled my free time towards re-discovering who I was as a person and how I could better take care of my body as a whole. As a wife and a mother of three, I finally saw an opportunity to dive into a much needed self-care journey.

I quickly came to the realization that years of prioritizing others created a version of myself that completely lacked self-care awareness and healthy body habits. Not only did I not understand what encompassed a skincare routine, I had no idea which products on the market could be trusted on my sensitive skin. Feeling discouraged to continue this journey, I reminisced back to my younger years when I ALWAYS prioritized taking care of my skin and hair. I enjoyed managing my rigorous 10-step skincare routines and creating various body oils and butters for my skin because I knew that when I looked my best, I felt my best. As I grew older, though, my time spent taking care of myself grew shorter and shorter; juggling marriage, motherhood, and the continuous challenges of life forced me to prioritize others before myself.
