My Story

“No Risk, No Reward” …

That’s what my dad always taught me and my sister (and a couple other doozies that I’ll have to share another time). That advice served me well through university and my professional life. He thought I was crazy when I left a solid well-known company for a little start-up, but I stuck to what he taught me and it paid off. He still laughs when we talk about it.

After years of working long hours and having three babies, I decided to be a full-time mom. I missed the pats on the back from my colleagues but cherished the time with my kids. I loved their school events, sports, and dance performances but now they are getting older and more independent, so I have a little free time and I’ve been wondering “what’s my next adventure in life”?

So, I guess it’s time for another risk. I started with yoga mat sprays for a friend’s birthday, and then made lip balms with my daughter for Christmas gifts.  What started as a “covid project” has become a passion of mine.  This time the reward is the joy I feel when I’m in the midst of trying out a new recipe with essential oils and carrier oils. I have always been fascinated by beauty product ingredients and, inspired by extra time during the covid lockdown, thought I would try my hand at making my own “potions and elixirs” (as my husband refers to them) with few, natural ingredients. I endeavor to make products with intention, ones that I personally use on a regular basis and share with my family and friends. They are handmade in small batches to maximize shelf-life.  I strive to continue learning about these wonderful ingredients and how to design more useful and beautifully scented products. I hope you enjoy them too!
