When I was a young girl, from the age of 7 to 17, I lived on a farm in the valley. My mother was a cosmetician and she would bring home samples from the store which she had received from the cosmetic companies. Upon receiving these small containers of creams in a shade of pink or blue, and creamy eye shadows with sheen, along with other beauty treats, I often pondered what were ‘they really made of’? Where were they made? These questions percolated within. Meanwhile, I noticed the lady next door as she picked stinging nettles and dandelions to create a natural brew or remedy of some sort. I was intrigued.
As I entered my early twenties, I wanted to understand more about what I was putting on my skin (and also, what I was putting down my drain). I began studying the ingredients of skin care products in earnest. This led to some surprising (and many disappointing) discoveries. The ‘natural’ products I had been paying handsomely for were not at all what they claimed to be.

I wanted answers, and continued researching cosmetics ingredients and production of skin and hair care products. I believed there must be a better way. I eventually found suppliers of plant-based, organic cosmetics ingredients and began developing my own concoctions. In my products such as creams, toners, and soaps, I would always include the healing properties of essential oils – and using my personal favourite scents; patchouli, tangerine, lavender, and neroli. I found this passion of mine needed to be shared – and I began teaching natural skincare classes in 1998. Today, I now offer sixteen classes, including “Mineral Make-up” and I carry over 50 body care items. And so the story goes……

In addition, on a several occasions, I’ve been a guest on the Breakfast Television Show where I’ve demonstrated and discussed some of my products. As well, I have been interviewed on CBC Radio; – “For Your Fur Only” (pet care). I have also been a guest speaker for the Romance Chapters Society – “Harlequin Romance Writers”, BCIT, Healthy Mind & Body, YWCA, BC Society Of Nutrition Management “West Coast Wellness” – all of which I provided an overview of essential oils and their properties and the benefits in creating your own natural body care products.
