Truly Sustainable Fashion & Holistic Healing for All. The Budding Antithesis of Fast Fashion.
From what started off in my home town of Manasquan, NJ along the Atlantic Ocean blossomed to a creative evolution and expansion out to Northern California for few years..Then, moved to a magically enchanting place Sedona, Arizona for some time.
However, the mermaid in me craved being back by the ocean, so the coast & beach life called me back ashore. 🌊💙
Make Scents of Nature has been a creative & personal journey through discovering more eco-conscious natural candles, hand crafted beauty products, & sustainable fashion. I have been a LMT on both the East & West coast.. And, was initially inspired in the field of holistic healing, to provide the most exceptional massage oil/ lotion for my clients. As i delved into that realm of creation, i was intrigued to want to pursue making more holistic products such as the zero-waste cocoa butter lotion bars and coconut massage candles.
☆Since spring 2025, Make Scents of Nature has evolved into a new brand called, Textile Revival. Textile Revival consists of upcycled fashion consisting of unisex denim jackets and naturally dyed designs made with plant materials. These upcycled denim designs I repurpose with burlap bags from local coffee houses that would normally, wind up in landfills. Additionally, I organize local beach clean ups and use burlap bags instead of trash bags. Implementing a circular design approach that benefits our oceans and local community..☆
I am presently learning & continuing to pursue plant & compostable material wearable designs. I've taken a class at FIT about sustainable fashion and the world of natural dyes along with a plant dying class at a local studio in Brooklyn just before the pandemic went into full swing. My wish for you is that these items I create bring you confidence, nourishment, & joy. 💫
