I spent my childhood outside. We had a family cottage in the country that we would visit every weekend and we would go on family camping trips throughout the summer. I’m talking a train would drop us off in the middle of nowhere with canoes, a satellite phone, and our backpacks kinda camping… I loved being outside and going on adventures, but as I got older it all seemed to change.

Life gets in the way. We get busy, we get jobs, and all of a sudden taking a break and getting outside can feel out of reach because of all the things you could be, or should be doing instead.

When I was pregnant with our first child, I came across a book that my mom bought for me when I was 9 or 10 called the Natural Beauty Bible. It was filled with natural recipes for things like hair masks, face masks, and creams. Flooded with memories of my mother and me mashing avocados and raw egg into our hair, it inspired me to start looking into more natural products for our growing family.

The more I learned about natural skin care and the power of plants and mother nature, my passion for them was re-awakened. My connection to the earth and nature was restored, and I haven't looked back.
