I'm a licensed NC Nail Tech who started blending certified organic ingredients for my nail salon clients who were allergic or sensitive to the common salon products used in manicure and pedicures. My Grandmother and Mother were into herbs, and passed a lot of their knowledge down to us kids, but I found that much more learning and researching was needed on my part before I trusted what I made to be used on a client who trusted me with the care of their hands and feet. Since 2007 I've enjoyed creating my own blends, and find that everyday is another opportunity to learn more, and plan on continuing my learning into the world of herbs and their natural use. I'm a one woman shop, making my wares from my home, in a very clean kitchen Anything I use to make my blends is not used anywhere else in the course of cooking and making for my family and friends. From the very start my business name, logo, printed materials, labels, etc. has been designed by me after brainstorming with my husband. I'm blessed cause I found a loving Irishman to put up with my Virgo ways I so enjoy sharing and caring, and hope this is reflected in my items and my shop. I take pride in being a part of this team, and raise my coffee cup in a toast to all of you!!!

Hi Deb! I love your shop, and I respect your products very much! I’ve been making a butter blend (shea, cocoa, mango, plus some oils and beeswax…always organic!) for several years, and it completely got rid of my sons mild eczema (where the prescription creams used to burn his skin and make him cry). I ended up sending some to my friends who live in Alaska as one of their children suffers from extremely bad eczema and it has since, totally resolved…and I’ve been sending them care packages with my magic skin butter (as the kids call it) ever since! I think our skin likes that stuff better! I have a little stash of Tamanu, sea buckthorn and various other oils that I blend and use on my face and whenever I run into people that I haven’t seen for a while they say I look really young and refreshed…so I’m keeping at it! See how excited your shop got me…I got all carried away!

Hope I'm doing this right.....Thanks for the warm welcome ya'll. Monroe, NC is about 60 miles from me. Years ago I worked for Yale Security in Monroe. I love seeing all the other Bath and Body shops that have joined in the team, there's so many great handmade natural products out there along with all the other shops that so beautifully craft their wares. CU later!

Thanks Katie. I was able to download and use the transparency tool and look forward to using the badges on my item listing pictures. Wish more of the team members had the logo in their About page, but all good things in time.....off to make a batch of Lavender Body Lotion, I've gotten really relaxed messing with the dried flowers today and my fingers smell like lavender

Thanks Stacey. Put you in Outlook with the credits you want listed, and yes....I did spell your name right Wondering about your comment on FB about another site for handmade items. Let me know what/if comes about. Had fun creating my Avatar, and the best part is that it does not have wrinkles
