Soon after I had my second son, the pandemic struck. Sitting home with two boys, under 2 years old, forced me into a deep state of introspection. I wanted to be a better person and a better mom. I begun journaling, meditating, and completing affirmations in the mirror daily. While filling the spaces of my consciousness, this daily look, brought my attention to my hair and skin. Yes I had a big fro, but it was dry. Yes, I had great facial features, but they were joined by hyperpigmentation, breakouts, and dry skin. I stopped making excuses for locing my hair and just did it. While learning to love “plain ole me” in the sprouting stages of my locs, I wanted to improve my skin health with herbs. Google sent me on a trip to my local Walmart for a $1.39 aloe vera leaf. After only 3 days, I could see difference. After two weeks, I had a glow. That “glow” combined with the new peace from introspection, made me FEEL GOOD!

I continued to research and use plants and fruits for skin\hair care. I FELT GOOD because I LOOKED GOOD. Being more confident and empowered made me a better human. A better mom. A better spouse. A better daughter. A better friend. This inspired me to want to share this feeling with others. Which led me to an esthetician license from Douglas J Aveda Institute.

While practicing with my spa clients, caring for my skin and locs, my purpose/passion in this lifetime was confirmed. To be a positive catalyst in the life of those I interact with-rather the impact was big or small. I wish that everyone walks in confidence and purpose.

And that is the mission for all my clients who enters my chair and/or spa table!
