About

My journey began on February 27, 2015, one day before my beautiful daughter’s 14th birthday. I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Life would never be the same and for that I am grateful. I embraced a new way of thinking and a new outlook on life. My dear friend Dawn educated me on how we can heal and thrive if given the right nutrients and a non-toxic environment. I learned very quickly how toxic our environment; our food and our bath and body products are and how much it affects our health and well-being. It is scary to think that something you put on your body could cause complications with your hormones or even worse, cancer. It is scary to know that products sold in our stores cause harm. Chemicals used in our soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, etc. and even food are highly toxic, and studies have shown they cause weakening of the immune system, effects on the development of children, reproductive and developmental complications, brain and nervous system damage, cancer and so much more. It takes seconds for what you apply to your skin to be absorbed into your bloodstream causing harm.

Phthalates, which are contained in everyday products, are one of the top ten toxic ingredients found in fragrances and/or perfumes, yet we apply them on our skin without hesitation or question. Companies who manufacture or sell these products do not have to disclose what is in their fragrances and/or perfumes. Rather, it is classified as a trade secret or proprietary information, and they are exempt from federal labeling requirements. Why are we using these products with thousands of unknown harmful ingredients when we have plants and herbs containing nourishing and healing properties?

I wanted to learn how to protect myself, my family and others and this began my journey with soaps. I am amazed at how easy it is to make a nourishing and healing product with simple ingredients from nature. Please take the time to read labels. Know what you are exposing yourself and your family to. We have been given all the plants and herbs on this earth to nourish and heal. With every bar of soap I sell, I want to plant a seed of at least the curiosity to know better for our health's sake and that of our children. 

“Through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” –Revelation 22:2
