When I was a young girl, I had a bout of chickenpox that left some rather unsightly scars on my legs. Later in life, I had to contend with eczema, which affected my inner arms, elbows, neck, knees, and the area around my mouth. The constant itching left these areas dark and crusty, and even after the eczema healed, I was left with unsightly dark spots. These skin issues took a toll on my self-esteem, and I often felt self-conscious, especially when dressing up for church.

To add to my struggles, I also developed severe acne, which left dark spots on my face. I tried to conceal them with makeup, but back then, the available makeup options didn't offer the shades and coverage I needed.

It was during this challenging time that I am especially grateful for my Aunt Betty, who taught me valuable skills like making soaps, sewing, and crafting balms. Although I didn't fully appreciate these skills at the time, they have become a true salvation for my skin today.

This journey and the knowledge I gained from my aunt inspired me to explore natural products and eventually led me to create and use them in my daily skincare routine.
